Does Zidane want to come? If he doesn't who would we go for?
 
What will be done eventually, must be done immediately

Absolutely

The rebuild is done (bar a midfielder we need). Get in a top manager who can coach and get rid of Ole and the backroom staff.
 
It should be tonight/ tomorrow morning.

But it won't be, it'll only be when top 4 is completely gone

If we actually acted in a timely manner like Chelsea did with Lampard this season may not be a complete lost cause

We mustn't let his being an ex player skew our judgement, Chelsea didn't with Lampard but unfortunately I fear we will and things could get ugly.

The long and short of it is he should never have been renewed.
 
I could take losing if we actually played well and looked cohesive, but it's absolutely awful I'm watching through my hands and we were playing villa at home ffs I've no idea how I'm gonna feel when we play Liverpool/City.

Now is the time to get rid as the new manager will get a free pass with the big games coming up rather than carry on in the ridiculous hope ole can turn it around.

I used to look forward to watching us now I dread it.

Since Ed is leaving soon, who is responsible to make the call to change manager? Murtough?

Hope someone with football knowledge that can clearly see we are going nowhere with Ole. Our style of play is so depressing. Ole also know how to talk a good game.

Looks like Dick Arnold will be the new CEO, so probably him.
 
Should be before Liverpool game. There’ll be a demand we wait until we’re sure we’ve wasted yet another season

And we’re not 1/4th of the way into the league season yet

exactly... and the worst part is we've had the easiest fixture out of teams we're supposed to be competing with.

and I've been one of the more patient "give a few seasons until he adjusts" type of people too. shame it has to end this way, but I don't see progression in this team until Ole goes; he's run out of excuses and I can no longer tolerate this mess.
 
People on here should respect Ole for the building of culture and team. He did a good job imo. That said, he got some key things wrong. Did not get the best possible trainers in his team. He did not get a holding midfielder.

Love and respect, but it’s time to leave the hot seat.
 
We have some very tricky fixtures next, Liverpool, City Chelsea with CL fixtures in the middle of them. It's the sort of games our players could get up for and prolong Ole's stay but I think the fans and players know we need to upgrade the manager, the squad has moved past the plucky Bruno driven ride Ole was on.
 
He needs to go, I fear even his strongest supporters will be conflicted when we get played off the park next week v Liverpool.

I hope he resigns but that will never happen, this will get worse before it gets better as our board are just as useless as the manager and coaches.
 
That poll is brutal :lol:

Well Glazers, you said you'd listen to the fans. Put your money where your mouth is
 
From past experience, we'll do it when top 4 is missed.

Other clubs would do it earlier, and salvage their season.
 
Ole did good but he's taken it as far as he can. It should be now but it won't. His coaches all got 3 year deals a few days ago. Only chance is Ronaldo won't take this shite any longer so you'd hope it will be quicker then Moyes and Jose.
 
Our boards response to this : Why do today what you can a year from now?
 
We're always late when it comes to sacking managers.

Sacking him now and even having a caretaker might get a reaction out of the players in the next run before hiring a new manager. But I think the club will wait until we lose to pool and city first before pulling the trigger.
 
Half the redcafe and other forums would be better owners than this shite the lot of them Glazer family. They have absolutely no clue, absolutely no clue how to get us back to challenging. It's really not that difficult. You simply hire the best out there for the best clubs. Only person on the planet who was able to win titles under these parasites was Sir Alex.
 
he should do the decent thing and resign, acknowledge that the job is too big for him and remain a legend at us
 
He has to go, he's taken us as far as he can and at this point is at the risk of taking us backwards and undoing the foundations he'd laid Even if we beat Liverpool he should go. It will be a case of papering over the cracks and we will slump straight back to type after the City game. He should be sacked today, and never should have been renewed

How much do you value your face and integrity?

He probably is set for life. Probably even two generations down.

And he's a celebrated Manchester United player. Loved by millions.

He's gonna lose all that if he keeps up with this, and we all know he's not turning this around.

There's not gonna be a injury time winner goal from him this time.

So, yes, resigning is the way to go.
I'd say he would get a lot of respect from the fans.

I don't necessarily disagree, that it would be a good move to save some face and restore a little bit of his reputation with the fans.

I don't think it will happen though. First of all, he is probably still thinking he can turn it around and is going to fight until he gets the sack. Second, even if he is already set for life, it would be madness to effectively say no to £10-20m or whatever the amount is. I mean, has there ever been anyone whose time has clearly been up, who has gone voluntarily? I can't come up with any examples, but I might be wrong.
 
The only hope for a quick mercy killing is a player revolt. Otherwise, probably not soon enough to salvage anything from the League or Champions League - December 2021.
 
Should have gone after the EL final last season. Froze that day. Could see he was not good enough.

JUST. GET. RID
 
Wanted him to succeed, but tough to support now (though don't seem to revel in pissing on him like some do).

We've previously looked like we wait for a nightmare run or missing top 4 before we do it, bit with so many big player situations to sort, not sure club will wait long.

A bad Liverpool result and definitely gone I think.

It's relatively well documented. The last 2 managers have been sacked following a conference call between Woodward, Avram and Joel.

They aren't involved in the day to day decisions, but for big calls like pulling the trigger on the manager, they have the final say.

It's why managers usually hang on until they can't get top 4, because that's what the goal is for the Glazers, not winning titles.

Interesting. I would have thought there's somebody above the manager who is responsible for running of the club in general (Woodward?).

Like in production company, operations is key but Operations Manager has a General Manager and then there's the board. So in case of poor results, General Manager replaces the Operations Manager because otherwise his head will roll too.
 
Wonder if any United fans voted No, or is that just opposition fans and Wumminator?
