I vaguely remember reading something about Bettoni looking to step into management himself.
I really don’t think it’s a major fix.
We're losing that regardless. Right now i'll just be happy with the introduction of some semblance of tactical style of play rather than having the lads to enjoy themselves on the pitchNew manager gets Chelsea as his next league game
It wasn't that great. His era coincided with one of Ronaldo's best. I'm all for zidane btw I just understand the hesitancy.
Didn't he win 2 titles in 4 years?
Seriously needs to be announced tonight.
2 titles and 1 2nd place in 4 full seasons is poor? :shock:
It's shocking really, I mean was the result against Watford that shocking? The writing has been on the wall for a while now, and this should have been done during the international break.
It's terrible planning from top to bottom, the fact that we've done this now when one of the best candidates is now off the market. Where do we go now? Another interim and another write-off of a season?
It's absolutely the right call, and long overdue on top of that, but who knows where we go from here.

Surely they have to sack him now... We have negative GD ffs and 9 of the scored goals were in two matches...
my fear is for the new manager to be saddled with McCarricky. These two gentlemen were involved in Mou's disastrous last year and Ole's tragic 3 year campaign, they can't be allowed to sink another manager.
According to the Sun he's been sacked.
Goodbye my Ole
Goodbye my Fred
Goodbye my Fred
And was very close to winning it in 15/16 when he finished 1 point behind Barca who had MSN at the time.
According to the sun he will get sacked.
At least, that’s what I could find.
I think the board thought we’d win against Watford. Probably decided to see what happens next. Poor as usual.
I’m actually glad Conte is off the market. 3-4-3? What would that mean? Another rebuild to sign the right players?
but Zidane is still available. He might be the right man to take us forward. Won at the highest level as a manager.
Imagine the fans who defended Ole from the criticism other fans were giving him, only to be rewarded with this 
If he was to take the job absolutely, he is friend with Bettoni and Msaidie, neither of them were at the level of a club like Real Madrid.
Remember we have to wait for the NY stock exchange.
Although we will make a bit of money for his severance package with some shirt sales.
Please god no! If I were the incoming manager id make it a condition of the contract that I could demote or replace them. I feel like maybe there’s some possibility there with McKenna but not Carrick. And certainly not as main coaches obviously. That was a dumb decision from the beginning.
There were a lot of them around when Ole signed his new contract in the summer. Serves them right.Imagine the fans who defended Ole from the criticism other fans were giving him, only to be rewarded with this
His position in the club is surely not tenable at this point.
He's been a dead man walking since half time vs Liverpool. The longer he stays the longer he stinks up everything.

The board initiated this failure when they started recruiting retired players in prominent positions.
Having played under SAF and his coaches does not mean you are as good as them... or know how to teach like them.
It is obvious to most that the Glazers are withdrawn (having no real game-knowledge) and do not have a hands-on approach when it comes to urgent matters at the club. Meaning they have entrusted others with giving them insights into whom are suitable candidates to hold important positions.
As we have seen, this leads to many other retired players (now pundits) sticking with their old mates.
The problem is rooted quite deeply, which is why the sacking of the manager is not enough. However, to fan the flames, it might be a start.

Say what?
They won 5 in a row early to mid 60s, and 8 titles that decade.
Plus 5 in 6 years mid to late70s.
Plus 5 in a row mid to late 80s.
I hope they used the wasted month since the Liverpool embarrassment to secure Zidane!!! Wait a month just to get battered 4:1 by Watford when everyone could see a month ago that there is no way back
Lineker.
But without Messi at Barca, Real would have been winning consecutive titles for years, save the odd Atletico charge, which means that perhaps Zidane never gets the gig.
If he survives this, he's gonna be immortal.
It's amazing someone can literally have the point in front of them and still miss it. I was obviously talking about modern times.
Seems like this fanbase's love affair with the past is not restrictred to United facts only.
He won La Liga twice during Messi's peak years and had a winning record against Barcelona only losing twice in 10 matches
I’ve changed to ‘give him more time’ after that 2nd half showing.
Absolutely.
Ole seem to have been sacked
Did he play 4 at the back for much of his spell at Inter? Maybe I'm imagining! I think a lot of the problems he had at previous clubs wouldn't be the case here, but I agree with your sentiment. He would have been a risk.
For me though, it seemed Conte was really keen on the job, which is important too. Zidane I think could take it or leave it, it depends on what's on the table. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I know a lot of people disagree with me on this, but I still think Pochettino could be a success at OT. Zidane as a short term option, and try and prise Poch away from PSG in the summer?
There's our next manager then
how is this person still allowed to write here?End of an era.
Still clinging on for the hope that Ferguson steps in again and saves Ole for another few games.
