If Ole survives this it would be like that scene in Last Jedi where all those AT-ATs shoot at Luke and then he wipes the dust off his shoulder.
 
Relax, friend. Ole is stealing a living, he's not doing us any favors. Fans who pay for the club have the absolute right to call him whatever they like.

No they really don't. It's become incredibly childish.

It's the board that people should be pissed off with. They are the ones who need to make a decision.
 
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?
Word is that he’s leaving in the summer anyway, either he’ll be binned for failing to win the CL with that front 3 or otherwise might walk as Athletic have said he’s hating it there but wants to get a title under his belt.
 
Calm down.
No I wont. He loves the club but he’s doing too much damage to the club now. Everyone can see that he will not turn it around this time, if he wants to remain a legend he should step down, now I hate him more for what he’s doing than I loved him for that tap-in in Barcelona. We are worse now than under Moyes, even Roy Hodgson was able to compete against us while he was at Liverpool, this has gone too far. Get Ole out now or burn his feckin banner and sens him back to Norway!
I used to love Ole like everyone else, especialy since he’s from Norway (I’m from Iceland so Norway is our neighbour), but I’ve had enough!

It's both. It's not like the board are keeping Ole prisoner. If he cared for the club as much as he likes to spout about, he'd do the dignified thing and resign. It's not like he is hurting for money either.
 


I have been Ole out pretty much since we lost the Europa league final but the last few seconds of the interview are pretty sad. He knows he is done for and rightly so. It is obvious he loves the club but just isn't a good enough manager and should have been sacked a while ago. In the end, the blame lies with the management of this club - making him permanent based on a lucky result v/s PSG, giving him a new contract when there wasn't any need for it, not moving for Poch, Conte when they are available for free just shows an incredible lack of foresight. I can't seem them making the right call for the next manager either .. sad times at United.
 
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.
Absolutely . This is on Glazers as much as on Ole. The point was “he loves this club”. So not only he has fiduciary responsibility but moral too.
 
Well, we should have kept Moyes on then. Ole missed out on the CL in his first three quarters of a season as did Moyes.

Also, lets be honest here, what sort of impact has Ole had here? We were this bad pre-Bruno - now that his form is no longer purple, we're playing as we did before. Ole having two good years was not his doing.

Incorrect. Ole didn’t have three quarters of a season, he took over after 17 games in which we got only 26 points and were far behind top 4. To get us into a position where we were reasonably close in the end was actually pretty good but it was driven by first 12 games where we got 10 wins and 2 draws. The finish to that season was terrible. Still he did far better than Moyes and the only reason that did not result in a top 4 finish was that he took over the team that was too far behind.

You could see he had a positive impact though and he built on that by getting us into top 4 both of the next 2 seasons. Up until the end of last season he was doing a decent job and far better than anything Moyes did here, anyone who suggest otherwise is just biased.

He should have left several months ago and he would have been remembered as a manager who came after grim spells under Moyes, Mourinho and Van Gaal and brought some joy and positivity. Now he will be remember along the same lines as the three of them, as a complete failure.
 
I hate this board, absolute clowns. They ruined a legend in the eyes of the fan base, we all knew it will end in tears, we all said that from day one they gave him the permanent job.
 
Crying after a loss to Watford, feck me this United team are genuinely pathetic if that's true, and a very big part of why we're in this position.
I think you’re misunderstanding the context. They’re not crying because they lost, they’re crying because of what the reaction will now be from the board and after seeing how much the fans have fully turned on them and the manager. I can only imagine the ones crying are the ones that stand to lose the most, Donny and Lingard were probably helping him pack.
 
According to the chancers on Stretford Paddock, the meeting is not to decide if he goes. The meeting is to sort out his severance and the sacking has already been decided.
 
Neil Custis is saying he's gone, that's certainly news. First credible source.

The Glazers are the worst thing to ever happen to United. Not only have they destroyed Ole, they have destroyed what the club is all about.
 
Still angry that we missed on Tuchel and Poch in january when nearly everyone knew that Ole will fail. Ffs.
 
If he’s gone by tomorrow, might even be able to tolerate G Nev sticking articles before manager names, ‘a conte, a mourinho, a Zidane!’, making them nouns like they are replicable concepts rather than people.

No, he wasn't. We are where we are because Ole was constantly being bailed out by Bruno and other moments of brilliance. If he was a good manager, we'd not be sitting behind Arsenal and Wolves having added Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane to a very talented squad. He just isn't a good manager.
 
Zidane is now bookies favourite across the board to take over. 8/11 across most major outlets.

Is this on?

Nothing gets under my skin more when these pundits pluralise things. Scholes is the worst for it.

No I understood the context.

If they're that upset by him getting sacked then they should have performed like a United player, I mean we all expected us to beat Watford and get trounced by Chelsea, we thought even we're not bad enough to get beaten by Watford let alone humiliated - any players caught crying over this should be immediately utterly u for sale.
