I'd be very surprised if Ole is sacked after Sunday. However, I've been surprised by a lot of thing United has done over the past 6 years.
Will Ole last beyond his next 3 games?
- Thread starter VP89
- Start date
Think he will be gone after the Brighton game, the game before the International break.
Looking at our fixture, we will lose a lot of game until then and will probably be closer to the relegation zone. So I assume that he will be sacked before that break and give his successor two weeks with the team
Liverpool (H) L
Partizan (A) D
Norwich (A) L
Chelsea (A) L
Bournemouth (A) L
Partizan (H) W
Brighton (H)W

Indeed.
Our only hope is that the next free big name happens to be someone with the authority and the tact to actually be able to guide Clueless Ed in the right direction.
I got this feeling that you lot will beat pool. Dunno why. That will give him a lot of new credit.
We'll get Ole out around christmas, and end up hiring Allegri I've no doubt in my mind.
I think we'll either fluke two draws or a win in those three league games against the run of play but get knocked out the cup. I think he'll stay beyond the transfer window in January but be gone soon afterwards when the fans complain about no January signings.
I really wouldn't be surprised if we got a result against Pool, which then lulls everyone back into a new sense of hope and change, only to lose those next two games. It's basically what's happened any time we've had a run like this where the manager was under threat of losing his job over the last six years so why would this be any different?
Why? You hope we lose against them or what?
Win or lose I hope he goes.
I honestly cant see how we survive Sunday without a loss. I dont think it'll be the cricket score some may fear but we're definitely loosing
Pool haven't been that great on the road this season at all. They're a very efficient, winning machine but they're not the team that absolutely demolishes sides like they were doing for the last few years. So with our improved defense I agree, it won't be a cricket score. The big problem will be scoring a goal against them which is.. well.. going to be tough.
I can genuinely see a 0-0 or 1-1, though, for some reason.
He should have been sacked after Newcastle. Arguably the worst manager in the premier league and yet the club and media want to give him 2 years.
It's sort of easy to say ''he'll pull something out of his arse'' and beat Liverpool if we were being managed by Jose, LVG or dare I say it even Moyes. With Ole, I just don't get how anyone can give us any hope, the way we are being coached right now is criminally bad. I've watched every single one of our games this season and I can say with confidence we're getting nothing.
He's a nice guy but he really is awful, the sooner he goes the better.
Thats it. It will be a classic Ed.
Did you watch pre season?
I went through preseason threads and everyone was over the moon at the direction we were headed and the style of play.
Coincidently that was the last time he had all the players available to him.
Why are media, fans etc saying City can’t win the title because they didn’t replace Kompany and Laporte is injured? Yet, we lose 9 players through injury and let 7 players go without replacing them and now Ole hasn’t got a clue.
Why are Utd fans so fickle? It’s sickening.
Remember how you guys felt preseason and give the man a chance.
Ok then how about 4 wins in the last 16? Or do you want to regale us again with your "best defense" in the Premier League argument again.
It was pre season and credit where it was due. The reason we were pleased with the direction is we saw pressing football and some relatively good play.
Come into the season, the pressing has disappeared totally, we cannot attack, and everyone is getting injured.
Injuries have hit us hard, no question because if you put it into context.
City without Aguero, Laporte, KDB, Walker, Mahrez would struggle
Pool without Trent, Robbo, Mane, Salah would struggle
But the problem is, we are not creating chances V Rochdale, West Ham, Newcastle, Alkmar.
Ole himself has come out and said he trusts the youngsters but hasn't shown it. He can clearly see Rashford is struggling in ST role and Greenwood has scored buckets of them in that role which has brought him to the first team. Instead he plays 2 players out of position to suit what?
Hmmm, confusing post. Not sure what pre-season has got to do with anything. Competitively and at the highest level is where Ole will be judged, and on that level he's been an utter disaster as a lot of people predicted at the back end of last season.
I remember feeling underwhelmed and worried for the upcoming season. What's this narrative that a. pre-season means anything and b. people were over the moon happy with it?
Mercury goes retrograde in Scorpio October 31st, so ideally before that. Gives us a few weeks before hiring a new manager come the end of the cycle.
hahahah
hahahah
He's as good as gone with all this Allegri talk in the air.
We’ll lose on Sunday but probably have enough players back to win the next 2.
I actually think results in the cups might decide his future.
They’ll wait until we’re out of the Europa League/Mathematically out of the top 4 before they sack Ole.
Yes because we are unecessarily idealist
It shouldn't. We should seek excellence not jammy results like we got in Paris. I think we'll stabilise but never be good enough under Ole
I think so. If we get into the relegation zone, he will be sacked and we are only two points away.
You think he'll get away with losing 4 out of 5, but then suddenly be sacked after winning 2?
Probably as we have no ambition or standards as a club now. Both at boardroom level & the fans
Allegri won't come here.
There was just as much Poch talk "In the air" too recently.
I brought up pre season as at the time people were pleased with the direction. It carried on into the first game. And then we lost players....
My point is surely give Ole a chance with a fully fit squad who’ve had a run of games before saying he’s clueless...
Not many thought he was clueless in pre season which as I said is the last time he had a full squad who all had a run.
And yes, I’m aware it wasn’t competitive.
If a team like City are being written off due to one injury and one defender not being replaced. (I’m not sure Stones is really a first teamer for Pep)...how hard must it be for Ole with the injuries and non replacements?

The sorry and sad state of what we have become. Manchester United Business Limited (MUBL) instead of MUFC. We are lost as a club.
He'll still be around. Too much "long term" "bumpy road" propaganda coming out of United. We'll loose to pool (obviously) and then win at Norwich and tie Bournemouth. That would be typically frustrating but neither horrid nor good - you know, the usual these days.
Matt Judge is the next to go I think. He has slowly been fed to the wolves through the media and I had never heard of him up until probably this season. Woodward has his next fall guy and it isn't Ole.
Need to put a show in on Sunday, win lose or draw, there has to be an improvement somewhere, if not his job is in jeapordy that has to be!
We are way off the pace In many areas of the pitch, our CM is probably the worst I've seen in a long while.
The other games after Sunday, will be more telling than most, if there's no points or just a few it has to be time for him to go, other wise it's a struggle to even stay in the league? But if reports are true Oles going to see out his 3 years.
I'm losing my hair any way, going grey quicker may help, that's what's going to happen if he stays for 3 years? Could be wrong

Not as comparable given one is unemployed and learning English to join the Premier League, and the other is still in employment.
Yes, and the 3 games after that, and the 3 games after that.....
The sooner people get their head around the fact that unless we get relegated, and that just ain't happening, Ole is going nowhere anytime soon, the better it will be for their individual stress levels.
A 3 year project is a 3 year year project.
Put your feet up, kick off your boots, and try and enjoy it.

You laugh like I'm wrong. I don't really care about last seasons massive collapse, that's history. I care more about this season. Some look at the scores and press the outrage button, others look at what happened and is willing to give the process time. I care more about how and why something happens, rather than just focus on the end result all the time, at least we know what to work on.Ok then how about 4 wins in the last 16? Or do you want to regale us again with your "best defense" in the Premier League argument again.
Our defense, is top notch. Our forwards, are not.
It's actually the fact we're looking at what's happening that ended with us pressing the outrage button not the end results.
Because our tactics have been dogshite, our offensive style of play is non existent, and players are always standing still with zero movement and acting as if they were strangers who never met before.He'll do well to get into 2020 unless we seriously shimmy up the table. Let alone 3 years. We haven't had a manager since Fergie who saw out their "plan"
Who would you want instead? I agree Ole has not been great but I just can't see anyone do something with a team that lacks quality in 90% of the squad. Always when I see the lineup I feel like we are on a level with teams like Southampton with quality. Too many overrated players we have.
