Rainieri did us a massive favour. Fair play to him for going for it and not parking the bus at 2-1 after 90 mins.
It sounds mental to say but yeah.
I honestly think those 2 goals late on pushed him over the edge.

No, it shows how shit things have been and how easily we should have been in the title race even losing to liverpool and city
Unsurprising, he came back for Ole so it stands to reason that if Ole goes then so does Phelan.
So you think that team is better than the one we currently have? Really?
Tell me, which team would you prefer to take over from?
I personally want to ever forget these 3 years. What a huge waste of time.
Not to mention the bullying done by Ole defenders every time we open our mouth to criticize him.

Infinitely, my hole.
I’m not even sure it’s much better at all. We don’t have a number 9. We’ve huge doubts over almost every defender in the team. Central midfield is a disaster zone. Our keeper probably needs replaced. And we’ve far too many wide players to keep them all happy. And there’s not a single youngster at the club who Ole can take credit for establishing as a PL player while he’s been in charge. Meanwhile, Pogba, VdB and Lingard are all doing their best to leave and our top goalscorer will be 37 fecking years old before next season starts!
This myth that he’s leaving a top class squad behind needs to die. I sincerely hope a new manager can prove the critics wrong and turn water into wine but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Thank God. Could as well replace him with a statue (with shorts) and we wouldn’t notice the difference.
All of them can get out. 3 hammerings in the last 5 games. Excited where a proper manager and coach will bring us with this squad.
Pogue, this is absolute bollocks.
I know we hold Ole to very low standards but really, I don't think even me, you or the most stupid guy you think of would leave a squad in a worse state considering almost half a billion budget and whole corporate pyramid to dilute responsibility / provide checks and balances if some really idiotic deal would be proposed.
Name one.
Mason Greenwood.
Now comes the fun and games of how a kid who has played 75 league games at 20 years and 6 weeks old isn't an established Premier League player.
What?

I think he's just trying to show how bad Ole has messed up this season.
All these teams weren't in a good form when we met them and we lost points to all of them.
Who would that be bar Greenwood?
There's still a lot to play for this season. The league is out of the question but we are still in the CL and the FA Cup will begin soon. This squad should manage a top 4 spot with the right man in charge so let's hope they choose wisely and don't look too close to home for a caretaker.
Sacking Ole and Phelan but keeping Carrick and McKenna is absurd. Get all of them out of there.
There's nothing worth to remember about these 3 years. He was easily a huge and complete failure.
Splashed ton of cash, won feck all and left us miles away from the top, just like when he took charge of the team.
We can talk about this mythical rebuild as much as his defenders like, we are 7th and 12 points away from the top. He didn't challenge for the league even once, despite spending ton of money and buying ton of class players. He is leaving a complete shit show and in a miserable situation.
Huge and complete failure of an appointment.
Should have been sacked post EL final defeat. It was clear that he would never be good enough to lead us anywhere after how the last season ended.
Awful manager and awful coach.

I love the managerial link royal rumble, hope ten Hag wins it this time round.
And replace them with who?
Ronaldo, Cavani and Greenwood are all number 9's and Martial without all the confidence drained out of him is a good 9 also.
Greenwood would also be one of those youngsters he hasn't established.
He addressed full back, has addressed our lack of wingers and creative forces through the middle. We are a defensively minded midfielder from being serious. I want Ole gone as much as the next man but there is no need to denigrate the job he/the club has done in re-shaping the squad. It is far more talented a squad than he inherited be it through acquisitions or just rehabilitation of some players.
Does that Jose team come with the half a billion Ole has been given?
That guy would you right now. Progression was limited, and the general mood of the club was in the gutter. We expect our club to be challenging now, someone we haven't been able to say in a near decade. Ultimately, Ole isn't good enough, but he leaves the club in a good state. Any sensible person can see that.
Ok. My bad. Actually thought he’d got his debut under Mourinho. One young protégé after three years in charge at a club which prides itself on youth development is still pretty poor, mind you.
Like we just won a trophy.
fecking hell, all these replacements bar Zidane sound tragic. I mean don't get me wrong, Zidane doesn't seem like a Guardiola/Klopp/Tuchel level (not many are) but it's Zidane so it's exciting
Better yes, but infinitely better? I'm really not sure. Big question marks on the signings of AWB, VDB, Telles, Amad (one for the future hopefully), and then there's the Matic, Mata, Lingard, and Pogba futures, a 36 year old Ronaldo, Cavani leaving next year and a neglected midfield.
...Squad looks suspiciously like it might need a bit of work
I think Maguire just needs a rest and Sancho will be fine in the long run but the squad needs some work I think, sooner or later.When he is responding to "And there’s not a single youngster at the club who Ole can take credit for establishing as a PL player" why would he need to name anyone in addition to Greenwood?
When he took over, no one in football considered the squad title contenders. The beginning of this season had most people considering us as contenders. I'd say that's leaving the club in a better position.
Yeah a manager who doesn't even speak English and has publicly had zero interest in ever playing or managing in England. Sure he'd be coming here for all the right reasons.
As harsh as that all sounds, it's true. The next manager will have so many huge issues to sort out, been thinking about it for a while.
It will all be exposed soon enough, Ole took so much of the attention away from certain players. Jesse, Pogba, Mata, Matic, Bailly, Telles, Dalot, Cavani will leave, maybe Martial and VDB will leave too.
Some of those should have left a while ago, but to all leave at once and having to sort out the defence and midfield in one summer is huge undertaking.
Next sack whomever gave him that contract extension. The payout alone would have helped in january transfers
It's better but doesn't look half a billion better.
How did he “address full back”? Who has he rehabilitated? I just don’t see this fantastic squad everyone keeps talking about. We need upgrades in literally every area of the pitch. Which, after three years and that much money spent, is pretty criminal.
How the feck did he manage to stumble on for 4 games after Liverpool?
It'll never happen but they should be made to explain that decision.
That is such incredible ineptitude it's borderline criminal.

By spending £50m on a guy who offers absolutely nothing going forward?
