This is what happens when you listen to idiots on twitter that are trying to rewrite history.

BeautifulIf the reports are true, seems the players have decided to take matters into their own hand after seeing how incompetent the board is at making a decision. The clowns in charge are just delaying the inevitable at this point.
The Glazers are too scared to sack Ole even though 90% of fans want him out.
Interesting view and I can understand where you are coming from. Always considered all of those players great players in the history of the club.
Look at my username. Of course I was joking.
Of course you were. No white text. You tried to make a post slagging off his playing career and it backfired.
I don't think they're scared. I feel like it's because the candidates they want to take over aren't available. Sacking Ole is all well and good, but we need to get a replacement. I assume we'll have to get a caretaker. He still needs to be good enough and the right man.
From what I understand Chris Wheeler is fairly reliable, so maybe this the beginning of the end for Ole.
Won’t hold my breath though.

If it is a caretaker I hope he can bring in some experienced coaches until the end of the season. It is a messy situation. It would be better if Ole lasted until the end of the season but I think he will be fired today.
I would never associate anyone working for the Daily Mail as reliable.
This is a strategic choice from the board. They want to make it look like the players forced him out and they were left no choice but to fire him. Our entire club is one giant PR exercise
There is a chance they are sounding out replacements before announcing something and are probably in no rush given we don’t have a game until after the international break. We’ll find out soon enough this week.
Agreed. I'm guessing quite a few posters on here may be too young to have been fans during and before the treble season, hence those comments.
I said that he scored a goal that gave him legendary status and included macheda as a reference to my username and how it is a burden I have to bare. This is prime example of Poe's Law. Do people always need white text and or '/s' these days.
If the reports are true then Ole will be sacked for sure.
At this point players just need a change.
Funnily enough, they need exactly what Ole brought after Jose, a change of atmosphere in the changing room.
Any caretaker will give them that and if we can find someone actually capable of coaching and tactics that suit this team we will be back on track after a few training sessions.

Your post seemed like you were being serious and actually comparing him with Macheda. If you weren’t fair enough but came across like that.
The only reason ole is not resigning is 7m payout.
Other than that he should have resign if he loves the club.
At this point he shouldn't be using im a legend show some respect card when it's clear he's putting the club well being behind his own personal gain
I 100% wont blame him for doing that. I would. But at this point, it's fair game to throw an egg on him, it's an expensive egg 10m it does. I would gladly got the world eggin me for 5m

SIIIIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUU
He’s not tied up in a basement and let out on match days, he can walk away whenever he wants. He loves the club too much though to miss out on a juicy severance package.
What about poor Sherignham? Doesn't get any credit, no Sheringham legend, he did score the goal in injury time that saved us, York Cole that got us all the way the final as our main strikers in the first place, never get mentioned enough nowadays.
Aren’t we all. This slow descent into Arsenal like territory scares the crap out of me.
The issue is these are basically the same stories that came out after the Liverpool defeat. We already knew the players had no faith in Ole's management, this is just more confirmation. If he could survive the dressing room leaked stories after Liverpool, there's no reason he couldn't now.
The signs are a bit more promising though, I feel he's more likely to go this week than not as the timing on the international break fits nicely. However our board are absolutely clueless so it's 50/50 at best.
I mean this is the issue with our fanbase and the internet in general. People taking an entirely absurd position as a joke will always be misconstrued because there are actually enough idiots out there that it doesn't seem outside the realms of reality that someone would legitimately hold said absurd position. Everything has to be signposted.
All the players that played ahead of him are not legends. But Mr nice guy is. I always find it funny.But you have to remember a lot of these younger fans didn’t live the 99 season. So they don’t get it.
The problem has been people have posted comments such as that and it hasn’t been a joke. Hard to tell the difference sometimes.
I always thought of Yorke and Cole as legends but it’s true, somehow the loyalty of being a sub have elevated Ole above many players who were much better for us. Sadly, though it shouldn’t, many won’t be able to separate the player from the manager and his reputation will now be permanently damaged.
True but that is because Ole is in the United lime light. If teddy, Andy Cole were in active United duty like ole is currently, their achievements would also be constantly reiterated.
Also since Ole's failure this season, a lot more people have questioned Ole's status as an United legend which has sparked this debate.
We're past Arsenal territory now mate.
If Arsenal got hammered by Spurs then got humiliated by Chelsea at the Emirates it would be bye bye Arteta.
Exactly this. No one is debating the status of those other players or dismissing them.
Consecutive 8th place finishes coming soon to the Theatre of Dreams.
True, but its also a reason his legend status is being blown out of proportion, I think.
Bulls@it. The guy has a banner and name has got sang for years. I can’t remember the last time Andy Cole’s name got sang. As I’ve said he’s a nice guy and is easy to adopt. Has nothing to do with limelight.
The board are gonna have some job on their hands getting the fans back on side after this. Can’t think of much that would do it, short of the next game being played with Woody’s head as the ball.
All well and good until the morons in charge decided to give it to Ole permanently even though he has no qualifications for a job of this stature.
Surely has to be sacked tomorrow?
We're already there to be honest.
Probably even worse.
Pretty sure Arsenal would have sacked him by now.
I wonder what the cost of delaying the decision will be like. Players losing confidence can't be underestimated, and with each passing game things get worse, even if we manage a win here or there to keep him on the job, you can tell that a lot of players are shitting bricks during the games.
I've also never witnessed so much anger from the fanbase in my lifetime.
It's troubling that those leading the club can't see how delaying this decision will impact the club, which makes me worry about the club long term. They're really incompetent, and not invested enough in football to fully understand the damage they're doing.

Will be watching the news intently tomorrow from about noon onwards 
Feel free to quote me on this tomorrow morning, but, I'm looking forward (read: not looking forward) to waking up and reading, "Ornstein: Solskjaer expected to remain United manager for the foreseeable future."
