We lose to eveeyone these days. Losing feels like a normal result. Conceding a goal doesn't even hurt anymore. This club is killing my spirit.

I’ll always love him but he’s not a good manager.

The team has consistently shown absolutely no sign of any coaching whatsoever.

The only reason I’d keep him to the end of the season is in case Poch wants a few months off.

He will beat the likes of Brighton at home, David Moyes beat that level of opposition. Sometimes by a large margin. It’s when he comes up against a well organized side that also know how to play football, that he’s out of his depth completely and he’s not going to figure it out. As you said he’s just not a very good manager.

We have no idea on how to stand up against and counter a properly coached side. Granted there are injuries but there isn't anything tactics wise which will give one hope in Ole's ability to build something here.

Expect the apologists to say we need another 3 transfer windows before we can see Ole's brilliant coaching methods to come to the fore. You cannot expect a shite manager to become good simply by giving him time. His level is Molde.

Cannot believe that the manager who got Cardiff relegated is supposedly good enough for Man Utd.

Wish we could just sack him and get Poch him to try and salvage this season.

Andreas wouldn’t get in that Sheffield team. Fred too probably. They’re a difficult team to play because their players are tough and hard working, how can Poch get Fred and Andreas to stop being fannies?

Ole being a club legend stops a lot of our fans from being objective, but he's clearly incompetent at the job. If we let the opportunity to get Poch slip away because we don't want to sack Ole, we deserve all the misery.

I can take a loss. It's in the manner of which we lose -- pathetic. We've got worlds highest paid GK. Worlds most expensive defender along with another who we bought for 30 million. AWB whom we got for 50. Fred whom we got for 50 -- he's obviously shite but he should still be doing much better than he is. Then you have Martial whom we signed for big big money at the time. This squad shouldn't be getting absolutely outworked, outplayed, outsmarted by Sheffield United, and that's no disrespect to them. We're fecking Man United and we routinely get a run around by mediocre teams and our fans just accept that.

He is unbelievably bad. I do not understand at all why people want to keep him.

We are worse than we have ever been since Ferguson retired. He spent £130m on defence and we concede in every single game. We may have conceded less than Man City, but they have 5 clean sheets whilst we have 2. We have conceded in every game since Leicester in the Premier League which was on the 14th September. He has improved absolutely nothing.

We look like the team that has just been promoted.

You missed it's not Ole, it's Woodward. Though he does deserve to be fired as well.

Up until now I have been supportive of Ole, but he needs to go now I think.

Does anyone here really expect us to turn this result around and beat Sheffield United in the 2nd half?

He is not cut out for the job.

The same way he got all the way to a champions league final with Winks and Sissoko... coaching

Woodward needs to pull the trigger now. We can't afford to let someone like Poch go without having tried.

How is this poll so close? He’s so out of his depth it’s unreal :lol:
Because people here voted based merely on their dreams and hopes instead of being realistic. The vote was about 55% sack just a couple of weeks ago but 1 win is all it takes for most people change their votes back to keeping him.

When will the penny drop.
Whenever we buy 3 or 4 decent players in January and still finish 10th. Actually, it probably won't. Some are way too fecking blind to see the obvious.

It's not all on Ole. It's years of poor planning which falls on Woodward as the constant. Over half of the players we've bought since Fergie retired aren't even here anymore. The recruitment is awful, and after such a massive outlay since 2013 we have this pissweak squad.

But a better coach would be doing better with this squad in the here and now. I don't know who that better coach is, but with both Allegri and Pochettino available, there's a couple of viable options.
