That's key. The rest is irrelevant, are you expecting a great squad to cover for a subpar manager?
Wonder if he'll walk? Clearly has no idea how to motivate the team. It's not even so much about tactics. Straight up the team should not be playing this poorly. It's pathetic.
More or less the same squad?1-2 wins??. He failed to win against worst teams in country ffs. This squad( more or less) was second in PL. So he is biggest dross and biggest problem of this squad
We've just sold 4 internationals and not replaced them. Zlatan has gone too. Major difference between the 2nd place finish and this squad.Tell me more than 1-2 wins that this squad would've got with a different manager this season?
For the record I do think Ole is out of his depth. But we have more than one major problem at the club. If Ole goes do you think it'll be all sunshine and champagne football?
There are many problems to fix.
Hard to when you see that rubbish, I just hope he does the right thing and quits, I don't think he will though. This is the worst shape we've been in since SAF retired.
We don't have such high standards
It’s over. Love him and no ill feelings but I just don’t see it ever getting to the standard we want to be at. I could excuse the results if there was some progress with the football being played but it’s just as dull and slow as before. I thought they went heavy in pre season on fitness but we look no fitter.
I thought we need better players to play football? Where's that gang?
No chance.
Just saw some quotes from him earlier today, that he gets it right when given "time"
Since he was hired permanently we’ve played 16 league games, won 4, drew 5, lost 7. 17 points out of a possible 48.
If anyone can defend him I advise them to get there head out of there arse. Worse coach then Moyes.
He's not got it in him to turn it around, and the injured players aren't the types to come in and save him either. We're somehow only going to get worse from here.
He always looks so sad. I feel a bit sorry for him. Like a homeless puppy.
When does Ole's demolition job end?
Just give Ole the caretaker job he is not very good at permanent.
How is he comparable to Moyes who had a title winning squad?
If we can see it, surely the players can too. He just looks so hopeless and like he's no real idea what to do. I hate seeing it honestly, it's very sad.
Or just hired a better manager than Ole?
People expect us to win with that squad vs Bruce and that top tier quality of Newcastle team, some are ever crazier, expecting us to outperform them too... shame on you.
Best thing he can do now would be to walk in to Woodward's office, full on chin the prick and take his P45.
Why don't have a whip round for him, to add to his £4m a year.
I think we need someone better to avoid bouncing around just above the relegation zone for the season. We need to spend in January too. At this stage we need a caretaker again and the make a permanent appointment at the end of the season after hiring a DoF - ie the plan from a year ago ... from a weaker position
It's not his fault that he is a diabolical manager but get appointed by the biggest football club in the world.
It's not his fault that we sold all our attackers without replacement.
I'm looking at you fecking Woody!

Surely has to go after that, if only to spare him from the hiding Liverpool will give us and then he would really leave in shame.
Like you, I think he's got to go too! But Lukaku had to be sold, Sanchez had to be got rid, Herrera was holding us ransom for a too much money - those were all correct decisions. He needed a centre back and Maguire has been fine. He failed by trusting the deadwood he already has and not using the Lukaku money to buy a replacement.
He's got to go for persisting with mediocre players and just being the worst manager we've had.
He tried it hasn't worked he needs to step down for the good of the club.
What a shame. He will be sacked, there isn't an option we're so close to relegation places.
This will devastate him, but he had the opportunity and wasn't savvy enough. Needed a great set of coaches to help him, but he went for friends and who he knew. Those things don't work. You need to be clinical and dispassionate to an extent when you're putting your team together. Any weaknesses you have, you need to hire people better in that regard to help.
Very very sad the whole thing.

He has no style of play. He has shown nothing since Paris
wait for spurs to sack Poch and then go for him...he'd have spurs fighting if it weren't for that stadium and lack of funds
I'm worried we might be in fight for relegation or finish close to those places if Ole finishes the season.
But it's not a great squad. Look at what's happening at City right now. A few injuries to key player sand they're losing games to teams they would have swatted away last season. And they've much greater strength in depth than we do.
This is a problem that's been brewing since 2009. We've drastically underinvested relative to the money we're making. This is chickens coming home to roost
At least Jose knew what he was doing and his football was much better than this barring 2-3 games. And he is not clueless like Ole. He wanted the players to perform to their full potential and throw out those who were not ready to offer themselves 100% for the team. Yes, his public outburst was bad and not good PR, but at least he knew what the problem was and he wanted to sort it out in his way.
We are fecking shit and that is in big part down to Ole but you have to question his coaches as well - Phelan worked under Fergie you’d think he’d have learnt a thing or two which would prevent us looking like relegation fodder.
So what's that? 6 wins in 23
I like Mourinho but he did burn too many bridges.
For Mourinho to work Ed would have had to be sacked. Which just isnt going to happen while the Glazers are still around.
Well, Ole said he was happy with our transfer dealings. I’m not saying Woody shouldn’t be blamed but Ole should have been more proactive. He trusted Rashford from day 1 even saying Rashy is as good as Kane or something. The whole of last season was written off so that Ole could analyse the squad and get in good players. The failure to do so is partly his fault too. Even yesterday? he justified selling Lukaku, despite knowing that we have no proper striker. As many have said, he’s just been a yes man to the Glazers and Woody
Fully agree. He burned bridges sure, but you know what he wanted to do. I was celebrating him being sacked but I have got this very wrong.
