There is 27 matches left to go and we are a whole 5 points out of the top 4. How exactly is it gone? For the record, I agree that they shouldn't be rushing into a decision, even though I've wanted Ole out before it was cool around here, but this idea that we simply have nothing to play for so we should just chill with Ole also doesn't completely sit right with me. We still have cup competitions, ye the league might be out of reach (even then, we are only 9 points behind Chelski) but top 4 is still in play etc. The longer this form continues under Ole (which is very plausible given how shit we look), the higher the chance we continue to blow our chances at whatever is left remaining

I mean, if they somehow appoint the caretaker permanently after a short, good run again, then we have a bigger problem than sack Ole now or summer.
Not that I can point to a surefire interim right now, but I think we're just gonna free falling with Ole at this rate. Probably need that initial bounce after a change and then rely on squad quality to secure a CL spot. It just doesn't feel like we can actually ride out the season anymore, what more likely is delaying the sack for 2 months or something and allowing too large of a gap to top4.
How is appointing another caretaker in a broken squad, broken sets of coach helps? It could exacerbate the issue, and there's both sides of risk, plus monetary cost of sacking Ole.
Sure, I could have been wrong, but it's also understandable and reasonable why they're not sacking him, assuming he's on borrowed time and he'll be gone regardless at the end of the season.
Name doesn’t check out..
Like I said, I understand your motives and I don't question them but I don't see a viable caretaker figure or a longterm-solution who will just jump ship to join us. As long as you don't know who is a better captain on your ship you don't throw the captain off board. Our woes right now aren't only down to Ole. He has shown he can get us get results. Not with the greatest football but at this point, results will do. He just needs to find a formula with the players again. If that means stay more defensive and hit them on the counter, that is fine for me. Having Ronaldo now might even turn the games against the low blocks into W's and once Varane is back, we can become more expansive again as well.
Again: I really get your concerns and your calls for action but who should be the caretaker? Giving it to anybody will make the club look even more unprofessional because they just jumped from "the longterm plan" to "anybody will do". That is exactly what a club would do, that tries too hard to "show ambition" - it would be perceived as a face-saving action, an attempt whose success is then completely linked to luck if the caretaker hits the ground running or not. If there is a viable caretaker, alright, do it. But there isn't. And I don't want the decision makers to waste time looking for a caretaker when all their attention needs to be on preparing for the summer.
My thoughts exactly.

A caretaker might help us get top 4 at least rather than just writing off a whole season with a totally inept manager who’s surviving on a game by game basis.
All we have to do is just not appoint the caretaker, even if they do well. Benitez won UEFA Cup as Chelsea interim and still didn’t get the job.
What age are you anyway calling people cultists seriously, says on your bio you’re 37 but I can’t believe a 37 year old would come out with such tripe. No one is no cult to Ole just not hysterical children in their thinking.
They know this already
This data is collected, analysed and discussed at upper levels of management . I work in an old school type of company and even these sort of companies take that data seriously.
Meh, people call it embrassing but unfortunately the sad truth is that social media is the best way to make your voices heard in 2021. You can be sure that this would put a lot more pressure on the board than a handful of boos at the stadium. Starting to feel like the board are going to do feck all regardless though, because they don't have a 'plan B'. God forbid they put they effort in to make a plan B.
It’s a matter of money if Woodward wasn’t such a fecking idiot to give Ole 4 years he would already be gone but to sack Ole with compensation and the back room staff with compensation, hire a new manager on high wages and new back room staff probably even pay a club he’s coming from a fee and only what some of you guys see as a short term manager so will also need compensation, then another manager that will do the job right will cost absolute millions you can see why it’s not an easy decision as Ole you’re sacked and that’s it.
Blame Woodward if you’re going to blame anyone.

It's a 3 year extension and Woodward didn't take that decision alone. Though it doesn't change much to the idea that it wasn't the best move or the idea that it's about money, I said the same thing last week.
You are cultist and an ageist too as evidenced by your pathetic comment. And yes hysterical children are indeed hanging on to their beloved failed manager through anything but logic.
This thread never fails to disappoint
Pathetic comment you’re the only one with pathetic comments trying to get a rise outa people…
Try to come up with something constructive next time. And get a life.
Round 2E-fight of the year
When did I get old. Bloody hell don't know wtf is going on here wtf is# . I'm lost I'm in the same car as Ole. Lost. Who at the wheel I don't know. Just thinking about what's for supper.
Ok boomer
I just think Joel is holding a 16 to see if the dealer goes bust. Dealer goes bust, Joel's in the money, if not, it was a 16, what do you expect.
I think the top management are well aware that if Ole, by some weird alignment of the stars, wins one of the big 2, the fans will wipe the slate clean in a way that no other current manager would get. I mean, you could twist now, but it could go bust, or, hold your hand until a better set of cards come along.

That's exactly how Ole inners think.
They think that change will come by itself, without any pressure.
Trust the higher-ups - they are more intelligent than us, hence we should trust their judgement.
People need to learn that our current board have screwed up so many times that I don't trust them to do anything right.
What's the big 2?
I assume you mean the league title or CL? If that's what you mean, then the board would have to be completely demented and should be sectioned immediately.
There is no way that any sane individual would think that Ole could win a trophy, even if given unlimited funds/players.
Make their pms public.
