This confirms it for me, he will be here for Watford and then the crunch game on Spain.
It was.
Send me the lottery number please. We know absolutely nothing about what is going on. Who new Ole was going to be the interim when Jose was fired. Not a single member of the media, no one. What we do know is facts
Fact number 1 - Ole has gone home to Norway - Would seem very strange timing to do that considering a lot of players are not going on international duty and in the midst of a crisis he is not here
Fact number 2 - The club have not released any briefings at all since the defeat on Saturday (aside from that Instagram post)
Fact number 3 - Rio is now talking about Ole leaving. The first ex -player I would say who has direct ties into the dressing room
Cruyff yes, that was yesterday right? Rijkard and VG thats 3 managers. In 40 years? Ten Hag is no guarantee for success. Point is that we should look for a manager with PL experience. We have been making mistakes for to long. I hate to say it but i think Brendan Rodgers would do a good job to get the club on the feet again, at least for a 2 year contract.
The problems are much deeper than just a new manager. Im Ole out btw. Look at Di Maria, he was like "im out of this amateur club". Great player, same with Depay but we dont get the best out of anyone!

Pretty much most will remember him doing okay just not a top manager. Which would probably be flattering but he did better than expected from someone of his record i guess.
We're even failing at that now there was zero pashun and desire Saturday. Not forgetting the absolute polar opposite of any enjoyment for either us or the players
Stop giving me hope dammit!
I just want Ole to go out there and enjoy himself
We absolutely must, if we EVER sack him, bin off the whole coaching team at the same time. Needs a completely blank slate
The new manager will choose his own coaching staff.
Yes, he'll be just as good as SAF given enough time, according to some. Defenition of delusional.
I doubt an interim manager will have an entire coaching staff ready to be brought in.
I feel you’re setting yourself up for misery lad. He’s going nowhere. If they were in touch with someone, there would be a leak.
there wasn’t any leaks of Ole taking over before Mourinho was sacked, was there?
That Rio video...
Ole is actually going isn't he. Given how Rio has defended him after every game and now this...he knows something. He's setting the narrative for the sentiment when the news hits. The club have sent Ole away to avoid the fallout.
Tell me I'm talking rubbish!

True. That sky sports release is damning though. I generally trust whatever they spew out. Until i hear otherwise at least.
Correct. He's fireproof it seems, loved him as a player but out of his depth as a Manager if he can't get so called worldies to play to the best of their ability, actually, to even get them to put a shift in would be something
The Rio talk is absolutely damning. I don't see him saying all this if he thought Ole had much time left.
I'll have a watch. Ain't seen it yet.
I think Sky said 'no plans to sack Mou' the day before he went as well. No one knows - we might be speaking to managers, we might not be speaking to anyone but it seems everyone is now just waiting to see the announcement.
He's Ole's actual mate. He doesn't even say this if Ole is staying.
Time to pass on the baton...come on. Ole would hate Rio for that if he wasn't sacked already.
No no, you’re talking sense.
Don't try to kill my hope! I'm going to be devastated when the next leak is out stating that he's got till the end of the season to prove himself
I see people are getting their hopes up.
He's staying folks. Don't set yourselves up for disappointment.

The point Rio made about players not working hard enough because they don't fear or respect the manager is on point. The work rate of players who play wide has been shambolic.
Insanity that he’s staying.
Yep. That is it. Now we know thst he is 100% staying.
I agree with everything he says. The only risk now, is what is said about getting the fans back enjoying the games and looking forward to watching their team is rapidly being undone.
He's absolutely right, Ole did well settling everything down again but as I've said for a while, it's time for the next stage, a manager who can take us trophies, which with this squad can happen with the right manager.
I'm going to hope for now because it's either that or be irrationality angry at the club
I have such mixed feelings. logically he really does have to go, and we need to salvage the season, but as a united fan, a human being, and someone who loves Ole as a person. I will also be devastated for him. I just hope that the fans and people here can let him go with grace.
It’s going to be really sad when/if they let him go but of course it has to be done.

Name one german manager before Klopp coming from Germany and does good in a big club? Did that hinder Liverpool from signing him?
Here is another question, Name one Norwegian manager coming from Norway and does good in a big club?
