Yeah right.
You don't need 500m worth of players to make a team play football.
Oh right. Woodward is innocent then.
Yeah right.

Never said that. But I am not blind.Oh right. Woodward is innocent then.
So you all feel telling his players to "just chillax guys it's only fecking Norwich lulz you can beat these guys with you laces tied together blindfolded even in fact don't even bother getting out of bed Carrick and me will solo them no problem" would be more appropriate?
Sheesh... You guys are hilarious - shaming a manager for taking his opposition serious

I would rather he actually coaches the players rather than talking shite in conferences. However it seems it's too much to expect from Manchester United manager nowadays.So you all feel telling his players to "just chillax guys it's only fecking Norwich lulz you can beat these guys with you laces tied together blindfolded even in fact don't even bother getting out of bed Carrick and me will solo them no problem" would be more appropriate?

But hey, at least he got rid of a few players
Yeah, I can see why people are pissed off but I don't think the quotes are that bad in fairness. This is our reality now, we're not very good.I'll wait for the performance before throwing these quotes in his face.
You’re not funny. What a waste of time to type that bollox out.

It's just another way of not taking the opponent lightly, which is the right attitude. I agree with the sentiment of the quote, but not the actual wording if that makes sense. I don't think Norwich are the weakest team in the league either.Suggesting that we will need to be at our best to stand a chance against the weakest team in the league?
That's pretty much the worst comment he could have made given the circumstances.
Ok. The prissy fan bois that didn't like their favorites being thrown under the bus, please stand up and take a bow. Mission accomplished. Instead of rooting out the weak, we've a manager that's now lowered our expectations as low as I can ever remember.
Manchester United culture, eh?
People keep saying Ole is lowering expectations/dropping standards.
Well I have to disagree. He's completely removed and destroyed all and any standards and expectations.
The main focus and objective is to ensure Ole holds on to his position and the club and its fans have a responsibility to bear with him while he and his mates on the coaching team learn the job.
The only standard and expected requirements for our club now is to simply turn up and take part and be happy we gave a go at it.
Ole s fans along with the manager and Ed Woodward have already written off this season and the next.
Neville said he needs at least 6 transfer Windows before he can be judged.
So we pay a manager 7 million a year just to take part in the ride called football.
No wonder he's sitting laid back on the bench legs stretched out and smiling smugly whether we win, lose or draw.
Teams like mighty Norwich which Ole now hopes we can stop. The same team he called brave and play their style of football regardless of the opponent. If only we can spend 500 Mill to be like them! Ole has turned into a complete joke of a manager.Never said that. But I am not blind.
Teams with worse personnel perform better than us. They play better football than us. If you think adding better players will improve things under Ole, you are in for a shock.
Totally agree.100% this crusade to act like we're "not a sacking club" actually hurts the club. The media narrative around United managers performance is completely different to any other club.
There's a famous phrase - more money is lost through indecision than the wrong decision. That is something our board should bear in mind, bad decisions happen to everyond the key is acting decisively to address it. We're bobbing along in mediocrity at the moment and it should be unacceptable for a club of our stature and aspirations.
We were topping the possession stats with LVG but getting no where. What did Liverpool do with their 68%?
It's easily worse for meSuggesting that we will need to be at our best to stand a chance against the weakest team in the league?
That's pretty much the worst comment he could have made given the circumstances. It's on par if not worse than Moyes' "we aspire to be like City" comment. Moyes was sacked a couple of days later.
I should not get dragged into this mire of so called 'supporters' posting here,
Some of the stuff that is being spouted is complete ollocks, and the manner of supporting their arguments is even more ollocks.
Really, you are comparing a person who has been involved in top level management for a few decades to someone who has just stepped into this malarky in the last few years, really ???
I am guessing that the majority of the whiners on this board have never played football competitively, have never been part of any team sport and whose only experience with such things is through some digital medium aka 'Championship Manager'.
The complete lack of understanding in what goes into a team sport, which is clearly obvious, because only such people could have expectations that a team that is made up of misfits, kids and continuous injuries to the more established members of the squad is supposedly meant to be playing as a world class team in the space of a few months.
Football and team sports in general do not work this way!
To make matters worse, we have pundits who have played the game and should know better, but they need to play to the cameras, instead of telling it how it is.
You cannot build a team if every few years you are chopping and changing.
You cannot build a team if you cant choose the same/similar personal for a extended period of time.
Football is a game of many skills and details, but a good team without confidence is an average team and visa versus an average team with confidence can become a great team.
All the negative crap coming out of the majority of people posting in threads such as this tells me a few things,
1/ You must lead miserable lives if the only things you can spout are negative things about a team you 'support'
2/ Because of the miserable lives you are living, you are using Manchester United as your scape goat.
3/ All this negative energy you are directing at our team does not just vanish, meaning you are also responsible for the lack of confidence that is prevalent at our club.
Sorry, but I had enough of all you whiners with your misdirected agendas, find something better to do, its ok having an opinion, but you are all living in dream/cookoo land with your false expectations.
Much worse. Moyes was actually talking about aspiring to control matches like City.It's easily worse for me

Con man of the decadeSpot on
Ole knows "the United way" that his master wants portrayed. This new "United way" is simply taking part in the Premier League, giving some minutes to young players and admitting we'll be fortunate to finish the top 6.
Someone needs explain this "United Way" to me because when Ferguson took over,even in his worst days, this would never be considered the benchmark
Ed Woodward deserves an award.
Said in a different thread mate. The guy has my admiration. I hate him. But I've gone beyond anger into bitter admiration because he is so fecking masterful at what he's done. Doing this to Everton fans would be admirable. Doing it to United fans is a level of spin and manipulation never seen before among sports fans.Con man of the decade
POCH: "Get in the f*ckin' van, you three!"January 1st 2020.
Poch joins United in a shock January move. Bringing with him Kane, Son, Eriksen
You’ll think he be talking about playing prime Barcelona in the nou camp feck me, this is ridiculous. Needs to go right away, if he’s saying those things to the press I can’t imagine what’s the message behind doors.
A loser mentality, so much for “he knows the club” and all that shit.
You really think Ole believes the Norwich manager would abandon his tactics they've spent the week training because of a media interview. Sounds far fetchedI know there are a lot of pedantic fans here that react to every little thing, but has anyone thought hes actually trying to bait them by talking them up. The ideal game for United would be for Norwich to attack, rather than sit back, which we are clueless against
POCH: "Get in the f*ckin' van, you three!"
ALL: "Please, gaffer, we don't want to go to United!"
POCH: "Nor do I - that's why me and Glaston are driving us to India."
