Who do we have after City ? I think last season the board decided to get rid of Jose way before the Liverpool game but probably didn't wanna have Ole face the Dippers as his first game. For all we know, the decision to sack him is already made and it's just a matter of timing
AZ Alkamar and Everton, if the sack is coming I expect it to be one week from tomorrow.

Pretty sure I said it a few months ago but it's even more relevant/astonishing now but he still seems to be under virtually no pressure. There's no real murmurings of results having to improve or hes gone. West Ham are 2 points behind United and their manager seems much closer to being fired. Everton are 4 points behind and it seems inevitable that he will be fired today. Pochettino obviously went as well, the entire thing is crazy.
Murmurings or not decision can be made in a day and maybe the club keeps everything within this time.

For how much longer must we endur this? Doesn't sound like the club can be arsed making a decision. We're not getting better... we're getting worse and there's NOTHING to suggest we will turn it around.

Very inspiring Ole.
Wow if that’s what he’s said what a load of nothing. Of course we’d like to win a few games in a row but YOU are part of the problem Ole.
I love him as a player but this is starting to taint my opinion of him. Realise you’re not good enough & resign for the good of the club

Ole is just a deluded, tacticallu inept clueless manager. The board ie even more cluelss in appointing him and not sacking him. We are simply finsihed as a club.

Ten Hag would be my choice, but to answer your question I would stick with Ole this season.


Why? What's he accomplished to justify that? He's an uninspiring boring Norwegian, who's completely out of his league managing in the PL. I don't what type of football he's trying to implement, I don't know what type of a squad he's trying to build (giving extensions to Mata, Phil Jones and Rojo, not replacing Fellaini, Herrera, Lukaku, Sanchez etc), don't know what attacking patterns the team is working on (I can't see none) and the so-called defense has shipped 5 goals in 2 games to newly promoted teams. So where exactly is the improvement?

Nothing would be worse than how it is now, i would back the gamble in bringing him in absolutely. I just cant see the board agreeing to it. Its either Poch or Ole in my opinion for that reason.

I agree, it’d never happen but he can’t half get a tune out of his players.

He is so fecking deluded. He will never win 4 games in a row as a permanent manager, not even in League one. He really thinks managing is easy, just winning a few games and the rest will somehow work out :houllier: he hasnt got a clue what he is doing or what he is supposed to do. You are a manager, not a fan who won a lottery and is strolling around at the club. Painful, he is turning into a worse version of Moyes.

I’m Ole in, have been since the start of all the in/out debate. I’m still Ole in, I think we are not far off where he wants us to be, but we badly need players to stop getting injured and we need centre mid field signings in January. I must admit though with a likely loss in the next 2 games, 2 points from 12 is terrible. Win today we’d be 6 points off top 4. Sadly, it’s not happened

It's so bizarre to think we went on such a long winning run? Its almost impossible to imagine that happening under Ole now, even just half of that good run would be unreal.

If thats the case, where the hell does he want us to be and why is the standard so low? We looks miles off where Manchester United should be.

We had Pogba and Rashford on hyped up form, and the momentum and feel good feeling exploded.

Now no one is in top form, and it's all a real slog.

Despite being the star that seems right. He has to and should be sacked but he won’t. He’s too cheap, too much of a yes man. Ed probably love him.
If Ed sacks him it's more evidence that Ed is incompetent. He's going to hang on to the bitter end on this one, I fear.

Dont agree with the idea that the club should wait to sack him til after the derby to make it easier for the next manager to come in...

Lads... You re assuming we have someone else lined up already. What in recent times gave you the idea the club is properly preparing for any eventuality? We ll have Carrick be caretaker for the rest of the season and being offered the permanent gig in the summer.

we should have won last week having Gone 3-2 up. The 20 mins of attacking play was electric. The game today I couldn’t believe we got 2-1 up then chuck it away straight away again. Both games we missed having a good steady Eddie centre mid to just calm the game down and see it out. He can’t help playing that shit midfield we’ve got no one else. We are not far off being a good goal scoring team. Previous managers haven’t had the team scoring goals

20 minutes? Eh? It was 7 minutes out of absolutely nowhere. We shouldn't have won last week, we were shite.

Solskjær: "It is a young team, but it can't be an excuse because we're #mufc. These boys will learn. We just have to string two or four games together because we haven't had that consistency. As soon as we get that we'll see them grow." #mulive [bein]
Ah. So that's all we had to do? Win 4 games in a row and we're good to go?

Ole should realise that it's on him to make that happen. Just because it's nearing Christmas doesn't mean he can just wish for it. Ole knows one tactic, and two formations which are three at the back and 4231. It's not fecking working so do something different!

Short term, what you described worked well for us indeed but over time, only sound tactics will prevail. This isn't some random job where a manager will somehow keep getting lucky results after lucky results forever.

It did feel with Martial back that our form was starting to turn. And then we lose a midfielder. The squad is far too thin. Every injury gives us a big problem.
Beating mighty Norwich and Brighton?

Both sitting comfortably in relegation zone or just above.

Every once in a while you will get a positive result.

When the manager looked at the squad in the summer and everyone else knew we had shortage in numbers in both CM and CF and then blew the entire budget on defence - this is not something you can defend.

Would laugh if Jose was the one to end Ole.
Unless we lose catastrophically, i dont think he will be sacked. But lose to City as well on Sunday in a non accepting way (even though they are in bad form currently, but still seem up for the derby most of the time), i think the chances are high.

It’s crazy how Ole has so much free pass from the press too. Every other name out there would’ve been under pressure every game. It’s like he’s immune to any kind of standard a manager of a big club holds.

I can't believe he let Herrera go. I can understand not wanting to pay him those wages, but if you're giving those wages to Rashford I can understand him leaving. It would not have been 2-2 with him today. We would not have been so easily ran over in midfield, we might have had some more urgency. Criminal decision letting go of the only player in the last 5 years who could actually be a good candidate for captain.

He's made several awful decisions and there is no evidence to say we should invest in him.

Or the board are making it very very clear to the press he's safe? It's the only explanation I can think of.

doesn’t matter how many minutes we turned it on, got 3 goals and should have had it won there. I’m not happy I can understand why everyone wants him out but we are scoring goals which we never did with Moyes, LVG or Jose. We’ve dropped 4 points in 2 games which isn’t good enough I agree but not sure any one else could do much else with this squad right now

So we should just shrug our shoulders and accept 4 league wins all season? 6 league wins out of the last 23 games?

Nobody is saying we should be up there challenging Liverpool for the title.

We certainly shouldn't be fecking 9th in December and getting outplayed for large sections of the game by the likes of Sheffield Utd and Aston Villa.
At any point have I said that?

He is a nice guy, so they give him a nice treatment. Managers that go toe to toe with the press, the press are turning on them in times like these.

You are more likely right but the thought of it is funny. Jose deserved the sack and Ole does now in my opinion.
The build up to this game will be huge in the media and if we blow it and the papers are all full of Jose praise, I think the backlash could be huge.

Knowing Ole though we will get a draw in both games and he will live to fight another day.

You’ve some kneck calling others delusional and to accept it, when you genuinely believe that we’re not good enough to beat Villa at home, Newcastle, Palace, Sheffield United, West Ham.
Great strawman.

Course we are. Chelsea are good enough to beat West Ham, City are good enough to beat Norwich and Newcastle. Doesn't mean it happens does it? You can pretend we can just sack Ole and bring in A N Other manager and everything will be hunky dory, and that all of a sudden this shiny new manager will turn our dog shit squad into killas. That's up to you.

That’s one point yes. Still even the board shouldn’t be happy with those results over the last 6 months. Surely they aren’t that inept..
