Come 2.15pm on Saturday is where sadly I think we will lose Ole. Great player like many of us say but as a manager he just can't reach the level that warrants being a Manchester United manager. Doesn't matter if your for Ole or against its going to be a very bad day if we lose as that will be the nail in the coffin.

I'm reading on one of the United apps and the Manchester evening news that Pochettino has been approached to take over our great club. Unfortunately I was always one of the fans that didn't think he was up to the task due to his limited experience as a manager.

Will always love him as a player and continue to have fond memories of what he did for us on the pitch, none more so than the CL final when we won it due to Ole.

Will he even make Saturday? Noises coming out that we’ve approached Poch. Not much coming back from that.

Not a hope we sack him before the end of the season

Funny how some still trust the Board to do the right thing. Might be wrong but history suggests this board will do nothing and Ole will continue to do his job. We will get some wins and all will look good again till the next bad patch hits.

We'll win quite comfortably and that'll keep Ole in a job for another month or so.

I'm amazed people think he will be gone that soon - this is a club that makes decisions at a snail pace.

Even if we get hammered 4-0 he's not getting sacked this early into the season

The fact the pressure is being cranked up and the media are now talking about him getting the sack, we'll win on Saturday. It's the Ole way, its the pattern, we've seen it time and time again.

If we lose, he is history this time. But this guy is biggest survivor in football world (after Phil Jones of course). I have no doubt that we will win 3-0 and he will buy himself another month or two. Because then come NT break and them WBA and Turks.

He's staying, get used to it. We were much worse for longer periods last season, theres no chance he'll be sacked any time soon

Are we sacking him at half-time?

That's just weird.
I mean obviously I don’t but it would hopefully bring along Ole’s departure a bit quicker.
I would’ve loved nothing more than to see my favourite player take us to glory as manager, but he’s so out of his depth it’s scary.

The main determinant in the timing of his inevitable sacking will be minimising Ed’s loss of face. The press will be revelling in comparisons with the Grim Reaper and Moyes’ sacking post-Everton. Ed will want to avoid that at all costs.

The owners are just trying to erase the fact that they didn't back Ole. The worlds nuts because there are a sway of people who can't be rational. Now, it's too early but we're only having this conversation because there's a group of people (probably the same who wanted us to sack Sir Alex in the early days), who are arrogent and cannot just support the team during a bad moment. They go over board with praise or they wait for a moment to strike...they cannot just think rational. Be quiet.

Cause we know if we go on another run....you'll still obsess about Potch who lost the spurs dressing room. It's like managers is the new relevent transfer market. Ole weren't backed. That could absolutely effect the dressing room/morale. What we bought in - is decent but it's not what Ole wanted and it will require time. And if the board were competent, they wouldn't be quick to pay silly wages to average players and they wouldn't create a situation where we struggle to sell players meaning we cannot support the manager properly and the manager has to manage these players, even if he don't want some of them.

We can’t afford to miss out on top 4 given the current climate and Poch won’t be available forever, we’ll pull the trigger before long.

His back is pressed firmly against the wall, so I'm going to expect a big win.

I was struggling to find an Ole related thread. Thanks for creating another one.

People wanting us to lose are just weird.

I never want us to lose. Ever.

There have been games under Moyes and Jose when I’ve thought that at least there’s a chance of something good happening in the event of a loss.

Why?
We already lost 300mil due to covid, do you think ED is going to risk to lose another, let's say 50, from no UCL next year?
This season will be sack season for all managers. Fail to get top4 and transfer funds for next sumer are 0.
I think he has no chance if he loses to everton.

And let's be honest, he was a great player, but he's a very average manager. I might be a bit of a hater but I feel worse than under Moyes with Ole sitting on the bench doing feck all and casually looking worried.

This one will be an easy thrashing of Everton. Think have seen this roller coaster well enough to know where it dips and peaks

Hopefully true. But don't expect miracles from Poch. It will take a while to bed in a new way of doing things.

That said I don't really believe it.

Would be the right time to replace him after this weekend, but unfortunately I don't see it happening anytime soon. We are slow and late to do any important decision. Season will be lost before we act.

You want Manchester United to lose?

Wow. Just wow.
It's shameful to see, but let's be honest, Ole has to go. It could easily be a Brighton situation again where we completely luck out a victory and the misery continues.

Guy has more lives than a cat. Expect us to batter Everton. Forum will rejoice, then two weeks later back to being shit and carry on being shit until pressure piles up again, some dickhead report about him having x amount of games to prove himself will come out, then we'll string like two or three wins together again, then back to being shit.

feck man.

He’s improved so many players, he’s got us playing well and he finished third.

Most of the cafe saying last year we would challenge.

Now after a few PL games he should leave, absolute bollocks.

I’d give him two more seasons at least. A reset isn’t a short process.

We need stability, sacking him mid season isn’t right, please don’t do it Eddie.

Perhaps a more pressing concern is how come a team that batted PSG and Leipzig looks so impossibly worn down against a inferior side. Not enough time has passed since that game for something significant to have taken place. This is entirely on the players and their inability to play at the best of their ability.

I WANT this manager to be succesful. As a Norwegian fan I have a significantly closer relationship to this particular manager than most fans. On top of that I absolutely LOATHE the trend in modern football where managers are sacked with regular intervals. I want dynaties, not changing of the guard every 3-4 years.

Fact of the matter is that Ole, like most managers have a 90% chance of getting sacked. Extremely few are so successful that they are in the job longer than 5 years, or even want hte job longer than that.

Any new manager is just another revolving door. Poch in fans will be happy that the team played so poorly their darling got the job, Ole in fans will be loathe that the team played so poorly their darling lost the job. Resentment builds as "in your face" threads and posts populate the boards, making this place even more insufferable than it is today. People just can't help themselves.

To see fans here actually wishing for a poor result in the league makes me physically ill. If I ran these boards I would ban the lot you. You have free speech, but not freedom against consequences. Ever single one of you that ever go into a game hoping we lose, you are the worst type of fan i can imagine. Please reply so I can add you to my ignore list if this is you.

This entire situation is heartbreaking.
