So are the Glazers.
Sacking Ole with no replacement logically means someone internal temporarily, no?

Sacking Ole with no replacement logically means someone internal temporarily, no?
Fingers crossed, bubbly on ice. I have been able to seperate the legend and manager, so I will be over the moon if he goes and I'm not at all ashamed to say it. People saying about it will be same with next manager etc I couldn't give a monkeys. Ole has proven to me he is a very poor manager and he doesn't deserve another minute in the job.
How would you know he isn't good enough. He keeps a team in the PL that wouldn't look out of place in league 3. Year after year. Playing actually pretty good football too. Same with the other options. All good managers that might turn us into a winning side again. That's all that matters. What we really really shouldn't do now is get someone from within the club. That would be the nail in the coffin. We need to get rid off Ole and his whole caching team.
These are good signs, club action straight away is totally different to post Pool and City. I think he will be gone. Thank holy feck. Hope it will be Zidane for short term at least.
God please no. Just no
I thought that I'm Ole though?
If you're talking about fiduciary responsibility, don't you think that lies with ownership? Again, how many managers do you hear about resigning because they're not up to scratch? The club gave him a contract. Utterly mental to put responsibility for him going on him.
This could apply during Sir Bobby's time when players used to retire slightly richer then the average guy. However players of Ole's era retire as millionaires. Unlike what many think Ole's career won't end once United sack him. He'll probably manage in countries like Scotland and Norway and if he plays his cards well he'll get a job in the EPL after that. So he can afford leaving United without shitting on his legacy first.
Mate, he was never escaping this latest defeat. We all knew it deep down, despite the boards incompetence.
It's a real head-scratcher.
If we can get Zidane then happy days but I doubt it
They fecked up real good with not getting Conte
You want Ole out so badly you're just clutching at straws with these suggestions.
Is Hassenhuttl going to ever finish ahead of Man City (with Pep or whoever), Klopp's Liverpool or Tuchel's Chelsea?
No he isn't.
If they can get Zidane, even though he doesn't appear to be chomping at the bit, then that's our best bet.
And that was literally the last time we had any sort of high standards. Moyes capitulated because we expected to cruise to yet another league title. The rest haven't had those standards applied. Ole is comfortable knowing he can lose to Liverpool 5-0 at home and fans will still applaud him off.
Other clubs seem to change managers and improve relatively straightforwardly. However standards are different. We’re looking for a guy capable of doing better than relegating Cardiff - that could take months.
Tell me about it
fecking hell I've been at work and just seen the score now. Embarrassing.
I wonder if Ed Woodward reckons he could be an interim manager.

Bruce as interim anyone? 
I really think the poor coaching is going to take months to break...
Completely agree.
Oh according to his post match interview it's "part of football"
Absolutely inexcusable
Surely that has to be it?
A sad day for everyone but United fans, ironical considering their team lost.

They did, despite my initial skepticism when I realized that he was the only serious option the decision wasn't that difficult.
Here’s hoping pal but I’ve been burned so many times these last few weeks thinking they’d pull the trigger yet here we are and he’s still stinking the place out.
You see, thats our problem right there, regardless of Ole getting sack or not, or you wanting him to get a sack or not, why the feck should anyone come back to you in 2 years time, why 2, is that minimum amount of time that has to pass, before we can judge a manager?
Most of things when it comes to Manchster United corp. is reflection of the fan base. The way how they see transfers, whole, manager needs time, needs his players, needs 2 years plus and 400mil. to replace shit/deadwood, what a utter nonsense.
One thing is for sure, if/when new manager comes, he will get his song next day even he did feck all to earn it, will be told thats supporting, guess feck setting high standards.
Ouch, that post-match interview. I feel sorry for him, truly. A task well above his abilities, and imagine what he must feel right now.
Then get him. I'm all for it.
Oh god this is going to be excuse for the next guy isn't it?
All available roads are problematic from their perspective. They better pray Zidane says yes - I feel like he might not.
Having to watch Liverpool as bf supports them, Michael Owen is on at half time. They're discussing Ole.
I've just agreed with every word he said, also Sol Campbell.

That's why people were going batshit crazy. I get it now.
Zidane is an old school style manager who leaves training ground stuff to the coaches, i feel we need a proper head coach this time.
I was questioning the decision right after Ed made him the permanent manager (and got shat on for it). It was trigger happy. Such form was never going to be sustainable, players were punching above their weight, we also got lucky on several goals. My argument was that we could have given Ole more time to see how he handles the bad games when they came. We didn't, right after becoming the permanent manager the loses started to come, Solskjaertabelen started to look worse. And the argument from people at the time was that Ole didn't trust the players that's why he didn't use subs but it's the opposite - good managers that want to win will try things out. Should we appoint a care taker manager, we should never use a small sample size as a baseline ever again.
So the problem is not about how long did the run last but how did we handle it. If we actually let Ole to finish the season before considering giving the permanent contract, he would have looked much less desirable, people wouldn't be wearing rose tinted goggles all the time and we could have gone for a more competent manager. Which, again, whoever the new manager might be we need to assess properly before giving out stupid long contracts like Santa on Xmas. Give them 1-2 years contract and if the performances & results are not good enough, get rid, find a new one. At this point it's hard to create a long term plan revolving around only one manager. It's not the 90's anymore.

He'll bring his coaching staff with him, it won't be our mugs doing it still.
Just to be clear, the Ole's at the wheel chants from you oppos dies when Ole is eventually sacked.
Pass that on to your friends, thanks.
I mean what do we lose if we give it to Carrick now? It can't get any lower than this anyway
Zidane is actually involved in training, this idea that he leaves the training ground stuff to the coaches is completely false. What is true is that like Klopp he isn't the one leading the training sessions, it's Bettoni's role, at Liverpool it's Pep Lijnders role.
