If we are planning on replacing Ole with Rodgers then what’s the point of dragging this out by letting Ole stay in charge for the Watford game and risk throwing even more points away? If we’re wanting Rodgers then just go get him right now, least then we can have that new manager bounce that could help us out right away and potentially secure are place in the CL with a win against Villarreal.

I definitely find the Zidane story more believable than the Rodgers is imminent crap.
Firstly it explains why Ole hasn't been sacked yet. Secondly hiring Zidane is the obvious choice for a board that are desperate to keep their marketable stars, namely Pogba, happy.

They have to play because we paid 130m for them. Imagine what we’d be saying if City or Chelsea paid 130m for a couple of defenders and then didn’t use them. Ridiculous
Rodgers 
The answer is simple. Absolutely nothing is happening until we're at least ten points adrift of 4th. That's all the board are looking at.
You got a link mate? Ta.
Aye most likely and it’s bollocks. Everyone knows Ole’s finished and keeping him any longer is sheer incompetence.
we’ll you’re in luck aren’t you? Zidane isn’t coming to England.
I was wrong mate. It was the Express. Seems the source is Duncan Castles that is tight with Ronaldo’s agent, so there might be something in it.

Also Ole Carrick and McKenna should be sat down the very next day after the latest humiliations to figure out what tactic and how to bloody play it, not go on holidays. Pep doesnt.
Yup. That's become clear now, that only the risk of losing top 4 will force a change. Otherwise those disgraceful displays against our rivals would have done it already.
I wouldn’t read too much into it. Mendes is actually close to Woodward.
Would definitely sign up for Zidane on an 18-24 month deal with this squad, doubt he's interested though.
More than likely already has his sights set on replacing Deschamps at the helm of the French NT reportedly

It would be ideal if we could somehow convince him to just sign on until after the WC. Pay him whatever he wants
Zidane until January 2022 then Ten Hag or Marco Rose after that. The dream.
Problem is Zidane will never agree to it. Doesn't even speak English and is hardly gonna learn if he's only staying for a short time.
He was right about Dan James leaving because of Ronaldo, to be fair. But he's also reported a lot of ridiculous stuff -- like Atletico wanting to swap Jan Oblak for De Gea.
I think the Rodgers deal is done.
The only thing that can end this nightmare are the players themselves. Hope they realize that.
That scares me because it implies that Ole believes the poor outings are a mental problem and not tactical.
Sancho was never managed by Klopp. Klopp left in 2015 and Sancho joined in 2017.
I hope you're right - I'd love him here.
More like Ronaldo and Varane found out Rodgers is imminent and decided to take matters into their own hands and reached out to Zidane.
I’m not actually a fan of the Rodger’s appointment. But the longer Ole seemingly stays on, the more I’m warming up to the idea of Rodgers. By the time Ole gets the sack, I’ll be indifferent to whoever replaces him. It’ll be an improvement anyway.
I feel the same way, the longer ole stays on the lower we fall in the table
A post on Foxestalk:
"It is Man Utd after all."
We really are the laughing stock of the football world.

Plus a well drilled team such as city could be forgiven for taking a break.
Knowing the way the club is run, won’t be far from the truth. We make winners into dithering idiots. Culture of “this yr is our yr”When it comes to managers we genuinely operate in a different manner to every other top club. That’s been evident since Moyes.
So is he still in Norway? Kristiansund or summat.
Summat I think or summat like that anyway. He is getting props from his fam and lickspittles have been converging on his location to butter his balls.
And Rodgers wouldn’t ?
Weren't you one of those who told everyone critcized Ole ( a manager from the Norwegian league) to shut up, yet you are lecturing people in the caf how a 3 times CL winner is going to be a failure. The logic you people carry is out of this world.
There is still no word from the club, not a peep. They're up to something.
Erm no. I’ve always been critical of Ole so I don’t know what you’re going on about.
How does me saying I don’t think Zidane would be a success equal saying Rodgers would be. I have said I think Rodgers would be a good choice due to his track record of improving players and his relative success in England/Scotland.
I’m a little weary of Zidane because of the strength of the team he managed. They were arguably the bestMadrid team ever with peak Ronaldo, Ramos, Modric etc.He doesn’t have that here so there’s got to be question marks. He’s simply not managed a team as poor as we are.
They don't need to say a word if there is nothing happening.
That's not reasonable in any way... Planning ahead to replace a coach in the middle of the season, asking a coach not to work for half the season so he can start his job in the middle of it...
I think our lack of quality would expose him and I think he knows this so he’s reluctant to take the job.
If the board was fully behind Ole, I think they'd say so.
They've released statements backing the manager numerous times in the past. Why not this time?
