Not sure I agree and that may be factoring into the club's thinking. Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham and Everton don't have the squad depth to go the distance with us over the course of the season. If there was an obvious 4th place rival I think Ole would be gone.

The thing is Ole doesn't use the squad properly and the depth doesn't account for how demoralized the players look overall.
 
Still no news of him leaving yet then, I think it'll either happen tomorrow or not at all, if he stays he'll get backed in the Jan transfer window too.

I wouldn't let him spend another penny (in the competent inexplicable scenario he does stay, which will be a huge shit show). I hated the whole talk of 'let Ole rebuild for the next guy' a year ago. Made no fecking sense.

Yeah I really think people underestimate how badly ole has handled squad harmony. Maguire basically admitted they have no idea what to do anymore and there's been outbursts from multiple players to the point ole even said they need to stop complaining
 
There's no doubt he has to go, our board is aware of is too but probably don't want to sack him with no alternative atm. It's depressing but my guess is they're perhaps waiting until this tough run of fixtures is ended to hire someone. Don't think that's right thing to do as right now would be perfect time with International break coming.

I do not think he will be fired until top 4 is mathematically not possible, this board has invested too much on Ole and his staff and they have no contingency plan in place.
 
Absolutely no word from any of the reliable journalists covering the club. After the Liverpool game all sorts of stuff was being leaked.

Hopefully that's a sign the wheels are in motion for a dismissal announcement tomorrow.

Otherwise we're just fecked.
 
It is clear as day he has lost the players. Chelsea acted so quick in replacing Lampard when he had lost the dressing room. Why can't we do the same.
 
So far board didn't want to sack him because of fans. Now fans are against him too so i don't know why they are refusing to sack him.
Story about not having a plan B is BS. Just pick a manager, knock on his club's door and sign him. Every other club do that when needed. Ten Haag surely will not say no and Ajax will not stand on his way. (if he is our choice)

I bet they will be eager to spend more millions on players who're going to rot on the bench seeing what happened to Sancho.
 
My dad is Ole in still. Says he needs more time to settle in. I’m worried about his health now
Mine is the same. Says we just need a DM and we'll be great. I'm just putting it down to him being at an age where the nostalgia of Ole just means too much. Caused some arguments recently though.
Defo age and nostalgia. My dad's an Evertonian, and in spite of seeing everything that has happened with Ole at United in detail (the whole rest of my family are reds) he still wants Duncan Ferguson to get the Everton job :wenger:. Let's face it, their brains are not what they used to be.

This gets peddled a hell of a lot because that’s what happened with Moyes, when it was rumoured to be in his contract, so it made sense financially. We showed with Mourinho that if it’s bad enough, we’re happy to make a change mid season and my god.. it’s bad enough
 
The only sane response I can have to this is that Ten Hag is the pick, but he's refused to come now. Because if i think anything else i might just stop watching for the rest of the year.

Even if that was the case Ole can’t stay. It’s too poor and a caretaker would likely do better in the interim.
 
or you know it's a lot more simpler than that and they do in fact support him and are behind him.

Why has everything got to have a secret hidden meeting with football fans these days?

Would you go to an Ole out protest outside the ground if you could?
That was asked of me today and I cant answer a straight out no! I wouldnt want to but I am so disillusioned with the shit show I couldnt rule it out
Yes. The present situation warrants a bigger protest than the super league one, because our club is getting sabotaged from within.

You have to be living in 1999 to support him. There's no excuses anymore. The board don't support him, they know he's shit. They just won't sack him because it makes them look bad after just giving him a contract. They'll wait until the players hate him too and then pull the trigger because then they "have no choice"

Fans will never protest against Ole. Or any other manager tbf. Managers have godish status at this club. And that is simply wrong

The players have no respect for him. It's clear as day. They don't need to hate him. We have bigger winners in our dressing room than he ever was.

My Mum has been a fan since the 70s and I couldn't even write the things she comes out with when she sees Ole now :lol::nervous: She thinks hes utterly clueless.

They don't respect him or like his tactics, but they aren't in mutiny mode yet. The board will wait for that so they can shift blame to the players
 
It's always hilarious to see Jose fans trying to rewrite history, coming up with "it's understandable why he set up defensively" as if he was ever attacking manager.

End of the day, Jose was Shit, Ole is shit. So was Van Gaal. We hired pile of shit as managers after SAF.

Moyes was shit too.

Shit, shit, shit and shit. Shitness all round.

He all of sudden dropped on 4/7 odds for sacking. With those odds managers always get a sack

Trying to bring some optimism here :wenger:
 
Still a very salvageable season if we sack him NOW.
And if we sack him and appoint the wrong person it could as things worse.
We scrabble round make a rushed appointment, fund them to the tune of hundreds of millions like we have the last 3 managers and end up with an even more bloated imbalanced squad
 
If the board supported him they would have showed it. They're not even briefing to their mouthpieces that they're backing Ole.

This is beyond supporting him. They're incompetent as feck.

They just fecked up and don't know what to do. They thought Ole will be here forever just like his cult on Caf were thinking, that he'll be the new Fergie and will be here for the next 30 years, and now realized he's actually awful coach and United need to move on. They're stuck and their incompetence is showing. They don't which one to hire and what do.

We're a shambolic club.

Zidane IS still unemployed you know. We could have Rangnick too. It's not about who could be the wrong person for us, it's about removing the one who clearly is.
 
I knew that we have lots of rival fans here but at least we know now that we have exactly 440 of them.
441th is @UnitedSofa . (Sorry man, i mean nothing bad;))
 
I think he goes tomorrow or he's here to the end of the season.

I just don't see an option that the board will see being worth the expense, Rodgers is favourite and there are obvious negatives to that, most here wouldn't want him for one.

The other sack candidates have already been sacked this weekend, so naturally the probability of Ole being the next one to go will increase.
