Ole Sack Watch

[macheda14]

Bit worried about Southgate being at the match...they wouldn't would they?

He wouldn't. He has a world cup soon.

 

[Escobar]

That is shocking

 

[Summit]

Do you not think he's just checking on England players? Goes to a lot of games for his England duties

 

[laughtersassassin]

I'm praying for tomorrow. If he is not sacked now he won't be sacked he won't be all season

 

[VivaRonaldo85]

I actually think he will be gone within the next 48 hours. That’s not a normal result to just brush off and move on. It’s irreparable.

 

[peridigm]

When you put it that way, needs to be done asap. I think the best time is now. We have Spurs next which aren’t really setting the world on fire. CL, then City after. If Ole makes it to City I can see us having a similar defeat and it would surely be curtains.

 

[Maxii]

Gone in the morning surely?

 

[reddevilz007]

Yet, he will survive the season. Thats the sad part

 

[Gehrman]

Why did we give him a new contract?

 

[Handsome Devil]

Do you not think he's just checking on England players? Goes to a lot of games for his England duties

I know, just anxious times.

 

[Suedesi]

Is he gone yet?

 

[Sandikan]

We've lost in the cup, we've lost at home to Villa, we lost to Young Boys for goodness sake.

We've had to rely on very late winners v Atalanta and Villarreal. We got out of jail with a late pen save at West Ham.

Then today!

How can that body of work not be sackworthy?

 

[Trondivan]

I have always supported Ole. But this is the end…. Sad but true - he has to go.

 

[Red_Aaron]

We will be just as generous with Spurs and give them plenty of opportunities to win, but I don’t think they’ll take them. I watched them against West ham earlier and they were diabolical. Their fans by and large want Nuno gone already.

If Ole survives this week, we’ll beat Spurs in a week’s time.

I'm not sure if we'll be as generous. Surely the only possible reaction at this point is to go all out defense and just stink the place out at all costs to keep a clean sheet. I really don't see what other choice he has.

As you say spurs are a shambles themselves so maybe we'll nick it

 

[BrianLy]

Sacked? the man should step down after that, its only going to get worse.

This should have happened soon. It should have been something that stood out from other manager's leaving. They had multiple seasons, with better league positions than the years before, to engineer Ole stepping aside for someone else. Unless a manager assaults a journalist, they are always going to get a big payout. The money isn't a problem, but the way we'd have gotten progress would have been to get someone else in with that kind of approach.

Ole loves United and deserves a dignified exit that only stepping aside would bring. The folks in upper management have failed again. Part of their job is to have a strategy and make a tough decisions in private. They haven't, but that's not a surprise.

 

[McTerminator]

This is all down to the owners, they have no clue about football and as such we get landed with Ole. Hes done fantastic work getting rid of the deadwood and bringing in quality replacements but we need someone with more drive and passion with tactical knowledge to push us forward. Change needs to happen now rather than in 10 games time when the whole squad is fighting against each other and clambering out the exit.

Don’t think it’s fair to say someone with more drive and passion.

Definitely need a new manager now though. Tactics aren’t there.

 

[Idxomer]

Why did we give him a new contract?

Because of the message.

 

[peridigm]

Rodgers got that in his last season at Liverpool with Gary McAllister and Sean O’Driscoll. It meant feck all as they had a bad start and all got sacked after 10 weeks, and then they got Klopp.

Its a fruitless exercise that just prolongs the inevitable.

I mean, if the board are dead set against sacking him, it needs to be done. Can’t continue with the current setup of coaching as it’s not good enough. If it takes new coaches followed by more poor results to convince them then so be it.

 

[laughtersassassin]

 

[Mickeza]

He’s lost the players. He’ll be gone this week.

 

[Rightnr]

When City beat us 6-1 were they singing SAF must stay? If we beat pool 5-0 today would we be singing Klopp In.

Everyone in football knows what our problem is.

Mitten is another bootlicker who is a United mouthpiece who tries to slate people who say it straight.

Him and others like him are just as much at fault for keeping our not-good-enough manager in a job over a season too long.

 

[DutchCruijff]

He has to go this week.

We've got UCL midweek fixtures coming up soon. Can't be throwing a new coach into those.

 

[Winrar]

Honestly, there have been so many points in his tenure where a sacking was justified. The latest should've been after losing the final to Villarreal, but, yeah, that Everton game was shocking. Mainly because instead of pinning Everton back, trying to get a winner, we were the ones holding on and, truthfully, Everton should've won with the chance Davies(?) had at the end.

Crazy to think that, with this squad, we've only convincingly outplayed one team this season, and it was the first game we played!

I've personally gotten to the point where I'm starting to feel the usual indifference towards the club's results when I know 100% the manager has to be sacked, and when that happens the manager actually got sacked soon afterwards too.

Hoping for the same this time around.

You almost make it sound like Ole poor performance is board's fault. And the fact that they are backing him is bad for Ole.

 

[crossy1686]

He's England manager at the only PL kick off at that time, stop doing 2 + 2 and getting 5

 

[Trondivan]

Oh, i must say this. You fu***rs wanting him gone - you are shit. Never supporters.

 

[Red Star One]

This really tells you everything about how he’s kept in the job not for the results or his skill, but for pure favoritism. And it’s not even his first such an awful patch.

 

[arnie_ni]

Agree with neville. He won't until season end or top 4 is out of reach

 

[kentafuji]

You look at how savage some other clubs are with their managers. If we were watford, he would have never even made it to this game.

 

[RedBanker]

What did the manager say post game? Any admission of failure?

 

[stw2022]

Honestly I’d rather take one on the chin against Tottenham if it puts him/us out of our collective misery than limp on for several more weeks citing “That 2-2 comeback against Spurs proves he hasn’t lost the dressing room”

If that means I’m not a “real fan” or will have to hand in my ‘Top Red’ badge and colouring book then I couldn’t give a feck, quite honestly.

 

[Deleted 20801]

You just said this literally 5 minutes ago.

I have always supported Ole. But this is the end…. Sad but true - he has to go.

 

[pratyush_utd]

What did the manager say post game? Any admission of failure?

We have progressed as a group and close to the level we aspire to be according to Ole. But slight hiccup is that results have been horrible.


Edit : Not an exact quote but result part was mentioned as that it is the only issue while as a group we have progressed.

 

[smi11ie]

Time to sack him. Things will get no worse with whoever takes over.

WIFE. "Honey, don't drink the whole case of beer."

OLE "I cannot. I am too close."

 

[James35]

If our owners, board and certain fans believe that it is acceptable to keep Ole after this and the season we have had so far. Then this club is going absolutely nowhere and we all might as well just be resigned to that fact.

I just pray Ole resigns because surely he at least cares about the club compared to the useless people above him.

 

[Kaos]

What did the manager say post game? Any admission of failure?

Said it was his fault since he sets up the team, defended his coaching staff. But claimed he was still the right man for job by claiming that we were "very close". To what? I have no idea.

 

[Acquire Me]

Should go before next match. We must have something lined up?

 

[Bratt]

You just said this literally 5 minutes ago.

 

[InfiniteBoredom]

I didn’t bother to watch the game today, placed a bet on Liverpool winning with 3+ goals and went to sleep. I never did that with any of the previous managers.

Put him out of his misery.

 

[FerociousCorgis]

Those who think Ole will resign on his own are deluded. No way the board is proactive. We prob beat spurs and lose to city and are still middling around per usual
