FFS. It’s not happening, is it? This board hasn’t got a clue what to do. Ole has no plan on the pitch. The board has no plan off it. We’re basically fecked either way with these morons in charge.
Ole Sack Watch

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

There's some truth to there not being an obvious replacement in waiting, but we are not making top four if this goes on any longer. Top four is not the barometer that this squad should be measured against, but if Ole remains in post we won't even be making that.
Before I wanted him to go but felt some sympathy towards him, but that's gone now.

There wasn't a replacement when we sacked Mourinho either, but it was the correct decision to put anyone in just to give us a boost.
The club is just hesitant to sack him because of his ties to the club. Another manager and would have been sacked already after that 5-0 thrashing, even if it meant putting Fletcher as a caretaker.
We're 3 years into a manager who has won nothing, been backed with players from everyone to a Champions League semi-finalist midfield to CRISTANO RONALDO and we sit here have been hammered at home to our two main rivals, knocked out of the league cup and relying on last minute goals in a very easy Champions League group. I think its fair to say standards are frightenly low at this club.
He still won't go until the end of the season.
But his time is up. In fact his time was up when they didn't win the Europa League. That was a massive failure.

Imagine if we hadn't been that stupid to give such long term ass contract after losing the EL final, he would have been in his final year and probably things would have been easier for the club to sack him. But now they're afraid of sacking a legend few months after getting a 3 whole years giga contract.
We're a pathetic club. A complete embarrassment in management from top to bottom.
May we never, ever hire a club legend as a manager again.

He's probably been the worst manager from the top 5 leagues this season.
That's how awful we have been. When you consider the talent we have at our disposal, this is easily the worst season post-SAF.
We look absolutely atrocious in pretty much every single game.

That's like seeing a desert storm in your direction and burying your head in the sand, expecting it to go away just because you did that.
Losing a EL final should have been the final nail instead he was rewarded for it.
This is a very good point.
We are all talking about Top 4 - why the hell is 4th place the barometer of success?
We have a World-class squad, full of Galactico class players who should be aiming to win the CL, not finish in 4th place!
Why the hell are standards so low?
Another embarrassing stat.
I had no doubt in my mind they were planning for this stupid contract before the EL final and when the loss happened, instead of changing their mind, they just waited till things cooled down to announce it. That's how our club is being run, 100% I'm sure of it.
Such a stupid, incompetent bunch of fools managing the club.
Who are these interims? I saw someone mention Lauren Blanc but do people actually think he’d come in to the end of the season on a part time basis? Honestly at this point think the best shot would be convincing SAF to see out the end of the season but even then I can’t see him wanting to do that.
Worst coaching staff ever
At the very least it should've unequivocally been last chance saloon, we had the best squad in that tournament by a country mile, absolutely 0 excuses for not winning that.
Let SAF rest. Plus, he's too old to coach anymore and his trusted colleagues who knew his ideas are long gone from this club except Phelan who is apparently stuck collecting cones now.
So embarrassing to have rivals, two home fixtures in a row, supporting our manager and rubbing it in. He is making us a laughing stock. I know, I know, it’s only football, but it’s so hard not to be annoyed about the situation.
He is awful, there is absolutely no reason to still be in a job, and keeping him there makes every single board member look incompetent and it makes United look like a second class club.
Do it tonight and show some sense of urgency. His performance is unacceptable and a quick look and stats and heatmaps is enough to tell you the buck stops with him. If you don’t believe your eyes, that is.
We have great players and it’s a mess. It’s a mess because the manager is woeful. Get it sorted!

Michael Owen was bang on here.
Even worse, haven't we scored 9 of those in 2 games against Leeds and Newcastle?
Yes, we have scored 1 against Everton, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and City.
feck me
Sleeping on the bench whole the game, it’s a shame
I'm feeling the same way. We care far more than the club
Manchester United can feck right off if he isn't getting fired
I really hate the way he cups his knee.
feck me we should have gone with Conte when he was there for the taking. The delusion of this board is beyond all belief.
Inject it.
I feed had Ole left over the summer, the narrative around him would have been fairly positive. If a decent job came up then the questions would have been around his ability to win trophies but I'm sure he'd have got a job with one of the Glasgow teams to collect trophies or someone like Everton would have had him. He'd have gone on fairly positive terms having guided the team to a 2nd place finish and EL final, but he also couldn't really complain as he hadn't won anything.
The reality is, his luck has run out. Poor performances aren't new, just they're costing more points this year, and signing Ronaldo has brought an extra level of expectation and scrutiny, under which Ole has withered. I can't see any decent club being interested in him after this now.
I noticed he's barely had any time out of work since the start of his playing career. Several managers, including Pep and Moyes, have taken some time away from management in part to study the game, maybe some time away from the frontline of the game is what Ole needs now.

It is the main reason why it's time to go for me.
There are no Ole Inners left on RedCafe, this is known, so how do we have 440 people willing to give Ole more time?
The mods are trolling us.

No club in Scotland would hire Ole. I genuinely can’t see him getting another job.
Now that I believe.
Who the feck is this?
Who knows, maybe we should ask him? It's not even a certainty our board have asked Zidane. Anyway, I'm an idiot and I know Hiddink, Rangnick and Koeman are available. and I'm sure there's a couple of decent ones at second 2 tiers clubs that would swim across the channel to manage us.
