Ole Sack Watch

We have the worst owners and the most incompetent board of any big club in the world. There are any number of smaller clubs which are run far better. It's just criminal, but those ***** can't be moved.
In a barren run of results and heads off on holiday, nice.
I don’t remember but have we ever been in such miserable situation before? I mean looking at us here and I think even the waiting of LVG and Jose sacking was not like this one!
just changing his job title and carrying on regardless. We really should have all seen this coming
I think we are all going to be very disappointed. He’ll still be in charge for Watford.
IF that's the case then not bothered about the result at all and neither the players too
Surely he is about to be sacked. I just can`t see how he would take a holiday while things are so shite. It all feels like someone is on a massive wum, Ole goes on holiday with family, Carrick and Mckenna offered new contract and now Woodward offered consultancy role. feckin surreal.
Yep changed title but he wasn't going anywhere.
Surely, given they are all corporate people including bankers, they can look at the corporate view to massive underperformance. Guess what, if there is repeated gross underperformamce, which doesn't improve despite being raised.... you sack them!
Eg you could have someone in a call centre who's on the phones and is fantastic, great call audits, turning around complaints etc. They are then given a high up managerial role, eg business operations manager. They are out of their depth. Of course you don't just leave them to cause mistake after mistake, all of which will need unpicking. Just because they were good on the phones (pitch) doesn't guarantee they can be good in a managerial role.

As crazy as it sounds, I now feel as though the board are deliberately sabotaging our chances of success.
Not in the slightest. Woodward is like a family member to the Glazers. He was always going to stay on in some capacity.
It looks that way. It's unfathomable.
It’s like living in the fecking Twilight Zone.
What the feck would you ever consult this clown about? He’s made one bad decision after another ever since he got the job. The clubs an absolute shambles.

The LVG one around Christmas time was very similar to be fair, and he got the season then.
I dont remember it to be this bad. Maybe some were bored to tears, but we werent a meme. I think we have reached a new low.
I dunno we had three shocking defeats in that December to Bournemouth, Norwich (WOW) & Stoke
Nar, we’d lost just 5 games by the half season mark, with no humiliations. We’ve lost 4 already with 2.5 utter shambolic humiliations.
It was a bad month, this has been a horrendous 3 months.
We were, the Stoke game was the lowest point, just being amazed he was still in charge. Pretty sure there were rumours in the press he had been sacked too and LVG kicked off at them.
Pretty standard stuff, he’ll consult more on the business side and as the article says (if anyone cares to read it)
"Insiders say it is commonplace when chief executives leave a company to strike an agreement which allows the firm to call upon their knowledge if required. Should Woodward take a role, it is likely that it would be on that basis, rather than a position that would see him working extensively at the club on an ongoing basis."

More like The Chronic.
To the tune of Still Dre.
Still Ole.
I'm representin' for them Ole-inners all across the world
(Still) Hitting those long balls at them low-blocks, girl
Still taking my time to perfect a back three
And I ain't got love for de Beek, It's the O-L-E

It just gets worse and worse, let it end
Why the feck are they being given a week off, they barely got out of a walk, strolling around the pitch Saturday, they should have been pulled into extra training after that abysmal lack of effort.
I obviously want Ole gone but at least show some effort in games
I really hope the few people saying we've allowed him to go back to Norway to allow him to escape the media glare and give him some privacy when his sacking is announced are right, but that sounds far too decent and organised by our inept club so I massively doubt its the case
We were in a title race just one point off top of the table until 1st December, we simply had a shocking month, yet followed it with a January bounce back of 4 wins (1 v Liverpool completing a league double against them), 1 draw, 1 loss.
Nothing like as bad as this 3 months of horror.
Yeah he had a similar way of digging himself out of the shit for a short while the same as Ole. This definitely feels similar to me. I was sure he would be gone after that Stoke game but we chose to plod on and go for top 4.
This is what we're dealing with..
Honestly I blame the Americans. I am one, and proud of it, but the higher ups will always care about the bottom line over anything. Glazers come from a league like the NFL where it is literally too big fail.
It is mate, you couldn't feckin write it. Who is making the decisions? Ole shouldn't have to quit, someone needs to do the right thing and pay him out . It's no wonder Jose sabotaged and forced the issue cos he didn't want it dragging on.
I'm sure it's normal and expected but I'm convinced this is leaking now to draw a few eyeballs away from Ole and put them on Woodward. Deflection of blame
"decent manager" now I know you're a wum
‘Nowadays Ole Gunnar wanna press like he got tactics to play, but nothing comes out when he moves his lips - just a bunch of gibberish about ‘expressing yourself’, cuz they forget he’s Ole’.
classic post
You can only laugh really. This club is finished as an institution until every single one of these cnuts leaves. Coaches, board, owners. All of them. But it's the golden goose and it keeps laying golden eggs
People are so vehemently against Woodward, they forget he's a great asset to the club in the right places. I'd assume his consultation role is aligned to the commercial side of the business, where he would be valuable.

If we weren’t a dysfunctional club this wouldn’t happen. Rashford, Greenwood stayed behind because they knew they need stay back and train, then Ole is so fecked up that he gives basically himself a week off. No wonder good players are not listening to him. in a good club he would have been sacked and the players would be training with the new manager. load of BS
how freaking stupid are the Glazers ffs

I’m curious, why do supporters continue to attend matches? Surely large swaths of empty seats at OT would get the attention of the owners.
VdB, Matic, Martial, Diallo, Sancho, Lingard, Telles:
*Can't wait for training this week with Ole promising a return to attacking football and maybe giving some of us a chance*
Ole:
See ya in a fortnight you cnuts. Fantastik.
