1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss against Spurs, Atalanta and City is just enough to keep him in the job.
His luck should be studied by science.

Ole Sack Watch

Yeah I completely gave up last Tuesday and don't see the passion coming back until he's long gone from the club
Think you are mixing him up with our fanbase since the scousers beat us into the ground
Okay: Yes, this season is really underwhelming. But people who say that Ole is a bad manager are just plain wrong. He might not be the right guy anymore. He might not even be a top manager, but for fecks sake, have some respect. The last two seasons, he came in 3rd and 2nd. That's not nothing.
So for the love of god. Stop behaving like children and have some perspective.

Probably because you want your fellow norwegian apprentice to stay manager whereas many of us are sick of the club
Van Gaal would probably win the league with this squad. Heck so would Mourinho.
Ole just doesn't have the "fear factor" in terms of getting players to work that extra 10 percent. There seems to be zero consequences or accountability. Despite earning millions, all players need that push and direction.
Nope not a bit of it I am sick of this club due to this utter clown who has more lives than a cat
Yeah just a shame we won't act like a big club because sadly aren't one since 2013
You talk about perspective yet conveniently missed out the part where Liverpool were awful last season and plagued with crucial injuries in their defence, Chelsea had their own passenger manager in Frank Lampard, and City started very poorly. Or also the fact he's spent £440million to not win a single trophy, not play good football (or even have a style for that matter). The sobering fact is he was never good enough, its nothing to do with being disrespectful, but rather putting sentiment aside and coming to the objective realisation that he's ridiculously out of his depth and is the obvious handicap for this squad.
Let me ask you - if we sacked Ole tomorrow, which clubs would be in for him? If he's not a poor manager then surely he should have a list of suitors queing up for him. Because honestly I don't see a single premier league side taking a chance on him. And why would they?
Oh yeah we really have room to mock them don't we
Ole : "We didnt plan to concede a goal"
Who the feck plans to concede a goal, please for the love of god sack this man
Did he say that!?You’re clearly a Dad!
We are all like Jesse Pinkman screaming “He can’t keep getting away with it!”
Not really he has dug his own grave for far too long now
The only enjoyment I'll get out of Ole's inevitable departure is watching everything labelled 'excuses' for him suddenly become valid and second/third becoming commendable achievements when someone else is getting them.
I honestly think I've reached the point where I'd feel more relieved when he's gone then when we sacked Moyes/LVG/Mourinho. At least with the others you knew they were at worst decent coaches who were a poor fit, but with Ole I genuinely believe we're having to suffer a work-experience level of manager who seems completely unsackable.
The Board fell asleep on Conte! Now Ole has a few months!
More than happy to stay in that bin until this clown is sacked from the club
When are you going then?
Never known someone claim to lose interest in something but spend so much time still waffling on about it.
Absolutely man, this result and the spurs game feel like losses and I can't shake that feeling at all. At this point its evident he's untouchable and it's equal parts depressing and maddening.
We're fecked FC
Ole once again unable to motivate the players. If not for Ronaldo we’d be in serious trouble this season. Needs to make some big calls and drop players who are coasting or appear to have no future at the club. We look to be needing another rebuild in the summer, hopefully a manager who can take the team forward will be part of the package,
Is there actually any interim managers we could appoint till the end of the season, realistically?
The only name ever mentioned is Blanc who seems to have fallen off the managerial grid and I've never heard anything about him in the media, only posters on forums suggesting him.

There is no sack watch, Mr. Magoo has the whole season. This is a dead thread until may.
I do think we can find a capable interim manager. Anything will be better than this. Anything.
Does our Board only look at the result but not watching the game?
Blanc was supposedly one of the frontrunners for the caretaker role before we gave it to Ole, so its not surprising his name's come up again.
Otherwise there's no real obvious options outside of those out of work, .e.g: Valverde, Fonseca, Favre etc.
I hope he is gone for the club's sake.
I just don't see our board appointing any of them... They'll be looking for someone with PL experience or connections with the club already. Also not sure if language is an issue for some of these European coaches. I certainly can't imagine us making a shrewd outside-the-box appointment because the club is being run by non-football people and the football people we do have are there for legacy reasons, blinded by nepotism and romanticism.
The issue with sticking with Ole is this season is a garaunteed disaster, the team looks Sunday league standard and it's not a small sample of games either. At the very least under a new manager you give yourself a chance of salvaging something even if it doesn't work out. I'd even get old man Queiroz in at this point, we literally couldn't be any worse.
Amazing, isn't it? Should be more than enough for a sack after 2-4 and 0-5 defeats.
Science cannot account for the lack of ambition of our owners and the idol-worship of the Top Reds.
I don’t think they’d be as picky for a caretaker coach when it comes to certain parameters like PL experience. Since it’s only a half season gig they’d probably just look for a semi-competent name the players can respect.
Isn't the board that has all the power (i.e. not the one with Sir Alex and Sir Bobby on it) basically made-up of the Glazers, Woodward, etc.? If so, then yes, I seriously doubt they watch the games; even if they are in attendance I'd doubt they'd be concentrating on the game rather than schmoozing.
We're in supporters' purgatory, and we're going nowhere.
He's not good enough to win us anything, but the squad is too good to be bad enough to get him sacked.
And of course the owners could care less.
There's so much to this squad too. If we had an actual football manager, it could really be something special.

This is just like 2 weeks ago Ronaldo bails us out in CL then we play a elite side on the weekend and get trashed. City haven’t been great at all but we play like that we be soundly beaten.
The worrying thing about this match is Atlanta play like Leeds which is perfect for us and our ideal match up so if we are not winning these I fear for us

Ronaldos are ten a penny on Hackney Marshes.
A better coaching unit would make this unit play like 2007-08 United.
We have a very very talented squad and we don’t have a clue to what to do
