This is a massive Club. It is one of the biggest Clubs in the World with a long history of playing progressive and exciting football. I love this Club and it is has been an honour to manage here. However I feel that the task ahead is not one I am able to fulfil and therefore I am stepping down as Manager.

Ole after tonight's game.

Can no longer defend this... he should be able to get his side to break down Rochdale ffs

To top it off he hasn’t given Garner any minutes which he said he would when he said he would get game time in September

No one would if he wasn't a United legend.

Just imagine if Giggs had gotten the job. Excuses would be even worse.
I think I'd only ever want Giggs to get the job if we were on top and the managers role didn't mean as much, sort of like managers at Barca/Real/Juve/Bayern. The mess we are in requires a great manager to come in and work overtime and extra hard. It's a real gutting and rebuilding required.

The problem is that if you're not good at coaching or tactics, you could coast a bit on your man management or personality, but he's severely lacking in both.

We won’t learn anything new from now on. Ole is struggling against a League 1 side because that is still above his level.

It’s another sign of Woodward’s weakness that this won’t be addressed until Christmas as if that somehow saves face. There isn’t even a 0.01% chance of this ever working out.

If you're not good at coaching or tactics, you surround yourself with people who are, Ole surrounded himself with Phelen, Carrick & McKenna? Deserves everything he gets.

Thinking long term does not mean a novice should be at the helm of one of the biggest jobs in football. Get real.

So his summer transfers have been useless and show no sign of improving us do they ?

How is that addressing his point made? Talk about a straw-man.

I'll be manager of Man Utd tomorrow. I'll focus on the long-term with youth. Support me?

The point is, the existing players are going backwards, coaching is non-existant, in-game management is abysmal. Everything that requires competence on the training ground or in matches he is completely out of his depth at.

Shitshow after shitshow. We can't score goals, we can't defend, we have no idea how to play, our best players are a 17 year old kid and a former Championship winger, we extend contracts to anyone who wants it, we still haven't bought in the areas we desperately needed to (CM, RW). Can't believe how have we fallen into that.

He shows no signs of improving us. He's spent a shit ton on positions where we had no options, or terrible options, improving those positions is hardly impressive.

Not to add, simply signing good players isn't going to be enough anymore, considering how well coached our competitors are. He has shown no signs of being able to coach anything cohesive. We are shite defensively, we are shite offensively.

Only thing giving me a minor hope is the fact the 3 signings have been superb. Aside from that fact I cannot see another positive,

It's getting beyond embarrassing at this point. Can't even break down teams like 17th placed Rochdale from the third tier league and 3th placed Astana in Kazakhstan League let alone PL teams. Even they look better coached teams than us. Ridiculous.

eventually he's getting the sack p45 letter. But who comes in next to sort out this mess. The club is in a crisis. Would pochettino come and manage man utd, knowing spurs is a better team right now and is in champions league? For him it would be somewhat of a downgrade and he could possibly be holding out for the real madrid job down the line. if not him like i said we are left with allegri and blanc as the only two left to appoint.

Cardiff fans are still laughing at us. We're trying to compete with a manager that got them relegated.

Surely this is it for him win or lose?

Give up. Go home. And have some more LSD. You must already be high as a kite to be spewing the garbage coming out of you mouth tonight.

In an ideal world where there is no pain or suffering, we wouldn't have to worry about euthanasia.

Drawing at home to a team beaten by the City under 21s. I don't like seeing Ole in this position but he needs to go. feck our dumb shit board for appointing him.

Can’t see it happening that early, club are clueless so wouldn’t know what to do next. Sacking him is costly and means finding a replacement which they don’t know how to do even if they wanted to.

We're in shite situation really and I don't think sacking Ole is going to solve it. I don't think there's anyone out there bar Fergie who can take on these clowns.

130M spent in defense that still leaks goals.
To be fair, every single team in the prem is struggling for clean sheets this season.

Our problem is scoring goals, we haven't scored more than one in a game besides the Chelsea game.

Peterborough beat Rochdale 6 nil a few week back. Ole has to go after this. Totally clueless.
