Sorry, but he's a con artist.
Notice how he always starts talking about his time as a player in most of his interviews.
He knows what he's doing, even his captain is reading from the same script now.

What we need more than anything is someone with the tact and gravitas to be able to gain the Glazers’ trust and, having done so, tell them a few home truths. Scaring them by shouting certainly won’t help, but a yes man would be a disaster.
You known its going to happen. He is so fecking jammy, we are fecked.
Kind of a hopeless feeling when you feel like we are set to fire Ole but then are going to replace him with Rodgers and see Southgate linked 
Our club is a disaster.
Our club is a disaster.He is so fecking annoying .
unbelievable
He’s says his 18 years at the club won’t be defined by the last few weeks, but it’s not the last 18 years it’s the last 3 years of his time as manager which has nothing to do with his time as a player. What he does as a manager shouldn’t influence what he did as a player in any way, the same as he shouldn’t be given extra leeway as a manager because of what he did as a player.
I know Conte isn’t the best fit in terms of playing style, but I wouldn’t mind him here just to have him completely upgrade the club. In the same way that it was obvious Ronaldo wouldn’t stand for anything but excellence, I think Conte would be the same. And at the very least it would fully show the board for what they are if he came and didn’t get what he wanted. There’s be no hiding place. For that reason alone I’d be happy to have him here. And also extremely excited to finally have a coach who knew what he was doing and could improve our players.
I'm not watching the video as it'll just anger me no doubt. But the quote on the tweet makes it sound like a man that knows he's about to get sacked. Kind of like "I've achieved a lot at the club as a player and what's happened now won't change how I view my time here" sort of thing.
Is that how it came across?
He feels he’s entitled to this job, regardless of whether he‘s successful or not. He’s been spoilt, having all that money spent for him and he’s talking like he’s still at Cardiff City, taking them to relegation: “Need to get a result”. He’s constantly lowering expectations to the point where he’d probably justify a bottom-half finish if it ever came to that. It won’t come to that but that is his mindset.
Hogwash.
I think this poster is spot on with this.
Never this bad and never have we actually had such a great squad
What’s an upturn? Not leaving each and every match? Any thing from now is a false dawn
Polls like this shd just be confined to Man Utd fans. Why shd anybody else have a say on who shd manage the club?
And if he manages to fluke a few points from those games? We're further delaying the inevitable and essentially writing off the season. Pretty much everyone on the planet can see he's painfully out of his depth - except for the board and some Pie in the Sky type United fans.
Pretty confident we wont win more than a game out of them 3 and will lose to City if they turn up, which should get him sacked. However, a good loss to Spurs and he might be sacked come next week.
Doubt there's a chance they sack him after Spurs (unless they already have a caretaker in place) with a game coming up on Tuesday. I think we're stuck with him until the international break and even longer if he just gets one win in the three upcoming games.
This is Teflon Ole we're talking about here though. Somehow the cruel footballing gods keep deciding to spare him from his demise and conjure up some plucky results for him out of nothing, as has happened in the past. I just hate that our fickle and deluded board would see that as dignifying their decision to keep him on.
Sounds like you want us to lose? You a united fan or just a joker?
Given the recent press reports his continuing tenure was backed by SIr Alex, Woodward and Arnold, the later 2 being former bankers. I think they have looked at the cost of paying off Ole, and his coaching staff plus Fletcher and considered thast it would be cheaper to keep him. Cannot see any manager coming in and keeping the present coaching staff plus a Technical Director who to be fair has little or no experience.
While true, we never have lost 5-0 against Liverpool. Coming back from this is another story. The players also know he is close to getting sacked, so down tooling for a game or two should do the trick. Not like they bothered much this season anyway. But then again, when Ole is managing you, they arent winning anything, even with 200%.
Just a joker, i am just here for the laughs and meltdowns.
Up until last season we'd never lost 6-1 to (lads its) Spurs. Yet Ole managed to see out the rest of the season. We also embarrassingly bottled a Europa league final (which we were only in after going out of the champions league group state) to a midtable Spanish side. Yet here he still is.
He's "come back" numerous times only for us to prolong our purgatory of mediocrity.
Few weeks? What has he achieved in the years he has managed the club?
It seems like the club are giving him a chance to prove he can turn it around.
How long that'll last? I suspect he needs a strong next 3 matches. Any more heavy results and more importantly fan disappointment I can't see him lasting.

I fully expect the oppo fans, trolls and a handful of Ole fanatics have voted to give him more time, which says it all really.
It would be interesting to see who voted for what.
Yeah me too
I mean you spent half a billion supporting a manager who won nothing. And NOW you're worry about the cost of replacing him?
Danny Mills. Who else?
We can have another 50 turnarounds and he'd never be good enough for the job. It's time for the board to see the painfully obvious.
This post went unnoticed but it's a fantastic take on our dire situation, bravo!
it is a bit worrying but i’d imagine out of respect for who he is they’re gifting him 1 last opportunity.
i’d imagine the next 3 games are crucial. Think he’s out after city personally, gives them time to get some candidates together in the mean time.
If we don’t replace Ole soon then it’s fair to say we are going to be going round in circles for a long time. I’ve been saying it for years that we are the new Arsenal, top 4 and good cup round runs and maybe win one to keep us the fans happy. Ole can give the owners this with the backing he’s getting just on individual brilliance by the players just like it’s been. If he survives the City game then I feel this theory is true. Ole is a yes man and that’s what the club wants!
I think this whole 'last chance' thing is just a front tbh. Think he's gone already, just someone in the club realised it would be easier for the new manager to come in after the intl break with the easier fixture run (other than the Chelsea game). Wouldn't be surprised if we're in negotiations with other managers right now, preparing. Even our board isn't that incompetent. I certainly don't buy the can't afford to sign another manager 'bollocks' that's been spouted around. We miss out on UCL football is a far worse outcome than anything else and I don't see out current owners accepting that with the investment of the last transfer window.
All that's left to hope for is that the next three matches actually won't be so crucial, as it would be terrible if he keeps his job because he sneaks a couple of result. Decisions such as hiring and firing managers shouldn't be made based on a small sample of matches. And the big samples we've had for years are enough to decide it's time to let go.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure our board understands enough to look beyond "he took us from third to second, he must have done a brilliant job"/
Because people don't have an issue with the person. They have an issue with him as a manager. You think it should matter one jot if he was building houses in Africa in his spare time? That's why bringing in his time here as a player makes no sense. No one wanted him out then, they want him gone now.
