Ole: The P E Teacher
At least one of the mod in here is either a staunch supporter of Ole or is Ole himself. Be warned.
OLE OLE OLE I LOVE YOU.
I see some saying it was progress last season finishing 2nd. Let’s be fair about it. The only reason we finished 2nd was because Liverpool had no cbs fit for 90% of the season and they still nearly caught up with us in the end.
He was comfortably the worst before any of them got sacked. Do you see him doing as good a job or better than them at Newcastle, Spurs and Villa?
Thing is, Villa finished a pretty respectable 11th last season, and their Board had no issue binning off Smith.
It seems our Board are rather obsessed with keeping Ole no matter what. It's very worrying and I honestly expect him to be here come the Watford game. I didn't buy into the '3 games to save his job' rhetoric, but at least it's evident now that it was bollox, as our last two games have been appalling. So that's 3 managers sacked this week, while we persist with Ole. One of those managers has a chance to take their team ahead of United going into the international break. This is just madness. I honestly can't remember anything as farcical at another top club before. If I were a rival fan, I would find all of this comedy gold.

The only rival he has is Arteta...Arsenal look like they might be turning a corner to be fair, but he strikes me as a bit of an idiot.
He was already the worst. The difference is that, unlike the other three, he has a world class team to bail him out every time.
Ive been saying that for over a week now and it never happens. I’m starting to accept we’re stuck with him for the season unless we find ourselves lingering in the bottom half of the table.
Ole's counterparts are being sacked left, right and centre for much less and he sleeps at night content he can do whatever the heck he wants, he'll still be in charge until the end of the season while being grossly financially rewarded for it too.
I thought about that, he's leaving soon anyway, could just be keeping Ole cos he dgaf anymore and wants revenge because of how he was treated by the fans.
It's not just the mods who dislike this stuff mate.
Ole did more for our clubs legacy in a single second of football than every poster on Redcafe combined could achieve in 100 lifetimes.
It can't be that difficult to show him a little respect.
The only possible thing I could see doing it would be for someone like Ronaldo, who is the highest profile player at the club, with the club even selling official merchandise designed around him going to the board and saying enough is enough
He's probably the most profitable player in terms of shirt/ merchandise sales and is the one fans all love. Him demanding enough is enough MAY just scare them into sacking Ole rather than upsetting their most profitable player. Maybe.

My point remains, we weren’t the first and we won’t be the last club to go down this route.
Ole was already worse than most of them too
He also did more to turn our club into a joke and to shatter Old Trafford’s status as a difficult ground to win at than every poster on Redcafe could achieve in 100 lifetimes, to be fair.
Said this in another thread but a few players have hit out on social media. It’s expected. The ole inners made a massive thing about “toxic atmosphere”…
If you keep getting smashed and keep picking the same players and not giving others a chance. The players you don’t play are going to get ticked off. What this then does is create a toxic atmosphere. That’s Telles, Baily, Williams and Vdb now all taking pops.
Nah probably just a thank you to a respected coach who treated him well.
Williams had ample opportunity here before he was loaned out, its not like he wasnt given a shot. He's still a developing talent.
Brandon’s post has nothing to do with Ole
I don't want him, either. I just didn't agree that he cracks under pressure. I do think he's a good manager, though.
100% going to happen. I actually cannot believe the board can be that stupid as to hire Brendan Fn Rodgers. Somebody should take them aside and explain that you "hire" a horse; whereas a manager needs to be "selected". And that managers are like magicians: you need one who wears a hat. And that hiring Brendan Rodgers as our manager would be like trying to fly a horse while its being built. Oh God. Brendan. Rodgers.
I suppose now that i think of it, he's actually a bit like Ole so I can see it happening. Only difference is he's better at his own PR. Im sure the board fell for his saying that he's been promised the City job and that was it.
Didn't Lingard like an Ole out post last week, and his brother had some digs yesterday on social media. Ole is in danger of totally ruining any good that he has done here. By virtue of not being a toxic cnut like Jose, people seem to think he's loved by all the players. I've never bought into it, and it seems like it was a fallacy all along. All he's done in reality is pandered to his favourites and marginalised quite a lot of others.
YepIf we're Going by the metric of investment in squad and salaries Ole has to be the worst.
There was never any evidence to suggest he is any better than them tbf. Solskjaer is here through good luck and fortune; a combination of being a former player and our club being run by imbeciles. He was never hired on merit.
The only reason he's still here is because the standards are low and expectations are set at a bare minimum. They're so low I'd expect the majority of managers out there to meet them based solely on the massive amount of budget available and individual quality of players.
I've seen nothing, and I mean nothing, to convince me that Solskjaer is premier league quality. The best you can say about him is he's a nice guy who won't rock the boat. The importance of that point has been blown out of proportion due to the negative and toxic nature of our previous manager.
Everything fell into place for Ole, but he's ridden his luck as far as he ever could have possibly hoped, and now he (and his coaching staff) are being exposed in rather brutal fashion for lack of experience and lack of ability.
Few clubs that this bizarro-romanticism that we do with the whole SAF pupil, 90s player, knows the club, DNA nonsense. We've become a bit of a joke really.
Imagine being guranteed a job regardless of performance just because your company has never given any thought to who might replace you. Basically the same as Shaw, Maguire, AWB etc. being guranteed a starting place because it doesn't enter Ole's head to change them. Mediocrity is rewarded at all levels of the club.
A total and utter joke, it's sad really.
We showed progress last season, finishing second in the league and reaching the EL final - unlucky not to win it too. How we went from the promise of last season to this mess is a mystery, but I wouldn't entirely attribute it to Ole.
In any case, if you believe his failures as a manager have absolutely no effect on his playing days, then you also believe his status as a club legend is still firmly intact. Thus calling him a PE teacher, fraud or whatever is not valid for a club legend like Ole. It only serves to make the poster look silly.
'Lad'. That would make him in 60s at least
There is zero reason for Ole to continue
This is becoming a running joke now. Surely it has to come to an end sooner rather than later?
Wonder why he thinks this is worse than being relegated.
There is. To fulfil the prophecy of him becoming SAF v2. All the signs point to that.
Poor Deano
Whats being autocorrected?
