When its mathematical impossible for us to enter UCL.
Don`t think so. We didn`t wait that long with Jose we wont wait that long with Ole especially at a time we`re losing money everyday and the CL revenue is salvageable to compensate for this. We may have waited with LVG but its because Jose was already lined up in January and he only wanted to come at the season`s end and Moyes was a Fergie recommendation he was always going to get a little more time. Reckon Ole is gone Christmas at the latest

Mourinho had to beg to get himself sacked. He was riling up the players, the board and everyone at the club for months before we finally caved in and sacked him. Solskjaer isn't that type of person.

We were also sitting in a similar position to where we are now in the table. Utd is ultimately a results business(top 4 specifically) if we don`t improve our league position come Christmas to a place that can salvage a CL position Ole will be sacked nice guy or bad guy and with a pandemic costing us lots of money Utd wont wait till its mathematically impossible

:lol:

You're the most blatant troll on the site! Every single one of your posts is anti-United.

It's fine that you're a rival fan. I just don't get why you pretend to support United instead.
Anti Ole = Anti United? Or Anti Glazer = Anti United?

Ok mate whatever you say. Keep enjoying mediocrity. I guess 7 years isn’t long enough?

Yes holding the ball, probing organized defenses with purpose and penetration is too easy. Quick counter attacks with minimal touches to score is Ole's way. Problem is they have to attack us first. How to counter attack if we have the ball? Its almost like the opposition don't want us to counter attack. I feel bad for ole

I have no idea why Ole wasn't screaming to one of the defenders to go back to the half way line as Ba was on his own for long enough for him to notice.

Or was he watching his Ipad again so wasn't in his shot?

In your defence, you're not very bright.
Says the guy who thinks I’m an Arsenal fan, despite being furious about them winning at OT & wanting United to appoint a better manager.

News flash Einstein, rival fans unanimously want us to keep Ole. :rolleyes:

I've never said that wanting to replace Ole is a sign that someone is anti-United.

What makes you anti-United is all your sheer volume of anti-United posts, and your complete lack of pro-United posts.

Define anti-United & pro-United? I would argue backing the current management makes you very anti-United, as its clear we’re nothing but a yo-yo club under Ole. Calling our crap manager crap makes me anti-Utd? Calling our crap performances crap makes me anti-Utd? Read my posts after the Leipzig game. Read any of my posts after lockdown last season.

I’m very fair. I praise/criticise wherever it is warranted.

A quick look at your posting history makes your anti-United leanings obvious.

You’ve done nothing to substantiate that statement & honestly I’m starting to think you’re just trolling copying/pasting the same message over & over.

I wonder if Nagelsmann and Tuchel (if he still has a job) will swallow their pride and just park the bus against United in the 2nd leg. Certainly seems like a much safer way to win.

This is a fair comment. Ole does little or no management during games. Only adds to the impression that he is too passive.

Unless you have characters like we had on the 94 team, then you need to be in their ear constantly, motivating by fear if necessary. He has no visible presence on the touchline during games, no messages, instructions or signals being sent to players on the pitch. That's just his style I guess but it appears at this point that it's not enough.

It's also something that we struggle against a low block defence. I think the way Arsenal played against us is the best tactical approach, press structurally as a unit and quantify the spaces to nullify our counter and we have absolutely nothing to come up with.

Well if we are still on top of the table at that stage then we can just do exactly the same thing.

In any event and judging by Nagelsmanns jacket that he wore at OT, I cant see him being humble enough to do that.

Say something positive about Manchester United that a a non-United fan wouldn't say.
Again, define something positive that none fan wouldn’t say?

First Utd memory - Phil Neville scoring at Stamford bridge. I think it was a cup game in 97/98, so I would have been about 5

First game at OT - Copenhagen in the CL, Kieran Richardson scored from a keeper howler, I was right behind the goal. I was about 13. I went to a lot of games that season, Blackburn (I remember we went 1-down & turned it around, ended up getting coke all over me when Scholes scored), Benfica, City (Rooney & Ronaldo scored, they scored a worldie, think we won 3-1), Wigan, villa in the cup (Larsson’s debut), Reading in the cup, was either 1-1 or 2-2 can’t remember.

Here’s something more obscure. Van Gaal’s first game at OT against Valencia in a friendly, me & my mates were getting on Fellaini’s case all game & he went on to score the winner & motioned to the section we were sitting in.

anything else? :rolleyes:

Tuchel won't, Nagelsmann might.

I wouldn't waste your time, mate.

The fact he's repeatedly resorted to personal insults and is expecting you to prove to him you're a fan screams of a troll.

None of that is anything positive about United. It's just Google search results.

True. I’m sure he’ll retort calling me not bright again & accuse me of googling a random assortment of games from 15 years ago...

One thing I’ll say is the Glazer’s have sucessfully lowered the bar with a large percentage of our fan base. As evidenced by plenty on this forum.

He's not even refuted anything you've said, just insinuated you're not a United fan and are dim. He's definitely taking a leaf out of OPs book for constructive debate about the manager.

Predictable.

As already mentioned, this is a waste of time. Anything I say you will discredit. Remember the disallowed goal against Chelsea, Ronaldo’s header after Giggs tried dribbling from the corner? That is an example of something a non-United fan probably wouldn’t remember, but I’m sure you’ll claim otherwise.

The fact remains Jose was sacked when we weren't mathematical impossible for us to get top 4.
Let's find out next week if OGS still employed. I want OGS to be sacked, its going no where. We need a proper coach not a manager.

Honestly, they just need to hire the right coach. I think there's about 3 or 4 right now that would get us playing good football that the majority of fans could get behind.

Every appointment so far has absolutely divided the fanbase from the start. They've got a chance now to put it right and, for once, get us all in believing in the direction of the club. Our squad is strong now, just get the right manager in for christ sake. This really is simple.

Hell, even if we take a punt on Rose or Hassenhuttl, the fans would be excited and would be willing to give these guys a chance to make a legacy here with their exciting football. If it fails, fair enough, we roll the dice again. The only one that would backfire and split opinion is Allegri. He's a poor man's Jose imo and we all saw how that went.
I don't know how any manager could get Pogba, Fernandes and Donny to play together in the same midfield while keeping the defensive part taken care of though

And i'm not sure if the Maguire-Lindelof partnership will work in the long term. It's just hard to trust in the board's actions after seven years of bad results.

Ferguson had a major say in Moyes hiring. It was practically his selection.
Maybe things would have been better back then if Moyes just kept Ferguson's staff. He pretty much got rid of all of them to bring in his own staff...

Tuchel probably would, but I feel like Nagelsmann would want to win his way

SAF said that he did advise Moyes to keep them and told him it is a well run oiled machine and he felt that Moyes felt " inferior" (my words) and wanted to bring his own people to support him.

Some fans never learn there lesson. As if this didn’t happen before. I guess I will have to be proven right again.
It all began with this. I am not a fan of bragging because I am Amadaues, but some fans really never learn a thing. Even if Ole pulls out with a victory against Everton, the same cycle will repeat itself because Ole isn’t a very good manager.

Utterly deluded shamelessness. Why do you even waste your time torturing yourself like this?
This is why these threads are warranted because dicking the flavour of the month manager 5-0 still isn’t enough for those with a embarrassingly blatant agenda against our own manager.

Imagine your darling Poch finally gets a job and Ole beats him, I would be worried for you.

It's probably about time you just supported another team. You've become a parody account.
Except this guy he absolutely trounced tonight didn’t lay a glove on this united team that is apparently so poorly coached.

People might take you seriously if you weren’t such an obvious agenda poster, give ole some credit he nailed it tonight, the line up, the subs, the formation.
We didn't have an amazing team when he took over. It was full of dead wood.

So how do you reconcile that? He's been here two years and now we have a great team and strong squad. How has this happened if not because of the manager?
lots of bs, take up to much space
@SteveW

I am sure a missed quite a few on here, but once again, I am point on. Ole has a long way to go to convince me.

:lol: :lol: not a fan of bragging but you’ve gone to all this effort. I actually like you as a poster, proper make me giggle.

Well maybe Ole still turns it around, maybe not, I’m gonna try and stay positive. The post of mine you quoted simply said to give him credit for the performance anyway.

Bro you must be dead excited about the Poch rumours, you said it yourself that he’s the one to take us back to the top so if he joins he better deliver, you know, you might get that Amaedus moment you crave when he lifts the prem with us, however if he doesn’t I’m jumping on you like a sumo wrestler. :lol:

So becuase we’ve lost a few games since that post of yours this proves you right?

Feck me, we should have been listening to Amadeus off the Caf all along :rolleyes:

What were your comments on Poch when he was in absolute free fall at Spurs when he got the sack? That doesn’t count though eh?
