[Redfrog]

Same message we are giving Lingard and gave Donny in the summer I assume

I don’t think we are wanting to sell him. He is a backup. But Ole is no Saf who made everyone have a role in the team.

 

[Red Viking]

This have been an appalling performance from ole and the team again. This team needs new management with new ideas and the coaches that have been involved with this mess needs to go now. The board of this club is awful when it comes to identifying and reacting to problems in time. We are just a very bad team but outrageously expensive team under this management..

 

[MrBest]

He has to go now, we cannot persist with this trash anymore, it's gone on far too long.

 

[Offsideagain]

If Ole comes out with the ‘That’s football’ excuse, then he is deluded and should be led away from the stadium before he does anymore damage. NO MORE EXCUSES.

 

[Banana Republic]

The manager’s post-match excuses will be entertaining.

Odds on it'll be the usual "Oh well, not our day. You can have the odd off day. That's football !"

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Criticise his tactics/selection/signings etc but you calling a club legend, who gave the club arguably their greatest moment, a cnut says a lot more about you than it does him.

What fecking irishman? What are you smoking?

You obviously don't listen to Roy Keane, do you? Jason McAteer is the guy Keane was saying about.

What is wrong with calling a spade a spade? Ole fecked things up and then bangs his head on a wall like a fecking idiot; criticisms and insults are part of the job too. Anyway, he better go back to Norway and expect to enjoy Halloween over there.

 

[sparx99]

I'm not even pissed off or upset.

Things have to be very bad for that to happen

Worse. It was expected. And it’s expected every week for the next 4-5 games.

 

[Giggsyking]

And throw away £25m...are you mad?

He said I would leave if I cant see myself helping the club anymore.

 

[United Hobbit]

Would love to see what he has to say after that....

 

[FriendlyFox]

Do Leicester fans think it is impressive to beat us? And we are still 6 places above them.

Well, we've only beaten Norwich and Wolves, so to be honest beating anyone is quite exciting.

You might think you're shit this season, but as we're 6 places lower than you, just imagine how bad we've been!

 

[Waynne]

We are playing like no coaching, no plan whatsoever. Just disjointed 11 talented men trying to work out something individually for 90 mins.

That is exactly how this team plays.
Gotta wonder what the hell we are doing on the training pitch week in, week out.
It's the same disjointed play as if the guys just met each other yesterday.
We can't press.
We can't play out of a press.
No sign of any improvement on the above.

 

[Coops73]

He’s not a bad manager, he’s done a lot right for rebuilding this club.
But he’s not the right man to push on for trophies now

This is, sadly, where I am right now and I feel gutted even thinking it but I’m not sure he’s got what it takes but neither have the Glazers.

Shocking state of affairs.

 

[golden_blunder]

I agree. He built a great squad.

He has an eye for good players. A good job in that respect.

Wouldn't say that makes him a good manager.

Well I suppose it depends on your definition of management.
he’d be a good option for Newcastle to build up to top 4

 

[glazed]

Then you should promptly get some specs.

How did it work out the last three times we changed manager? Maybe something else is going on?

 

[elmo]

At least try to make it look like you're not enjoying this

To be fair, he just exposed himself

 

[yipthatman]

Ole's luck has ran out. It's been coming for ages. Glad that worthless record is over.

He is alienating players who could be valuable to him. There is going to be big trouble as he now has big personalities in that dressing room who are not fools.

Thats been the problem for a while. Quite a few of those players understand the game better than him.

 

[sparx99]

Pathetic performance really. Maguire rushed back to hinder us

Bruno has regressed with Ronaldo like in the NT. I said there was a big danger of this happening if we turned into the Ronaldo show and it flopped or there was any frustration building.

Standard Pogba

Defending like fools.

Pressing non existent

Wheels have come off again.

I mean Bruno scored and Ronaldo got a hat trick in the same game for Portugal last week. They can both play well together.

 

[Ranchero]

Sums it up - my Liverpool supporting bf doesn't want him sacked. You know you've got one that needs to go when rival fans want him to stay

The acid test has always been which Prem side would want Ole as their manager. He isnt sought after. Even less so now. He leaves us he goes back to Norway.

 

[Adisa]

He said I would leave if I cant see myself helping the club anymore.

He talks a good game.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Meh. Pointless league. Pointless club. Struggle to care anymore.

 

[Offsideagain]

Thrashed and humiliated.

We're destined for 9th place by the end of November.
No way we're picking up more than 6 or 7 points out of the next 6 games.

Ole must go, but the board will probably give him a brand new contract.

They already have!
.

 

[RonaldoVII]

You obviously don't listen to Roy Keane, do you? Jason McAteer is the guy Keane was saying about.

What is wrong with calling a spade a spade? Ole fecked things up and then bangs his head on a wall like a fecking idiot; criticisms and insults are part of the job too. Anyway, he better go back to Norway and expect to enjoy Halloween over there.

Why would I give a shit about Jason McAteer? He has no relevance to my club.

 

[United Hobbit]

Let alone a win, we scrape a draw and his defenders will be out in full force saying how he bettered Klopp

I agree. I thought he did a decent job laying foundations when he first came, but the signs were there last season that he'd taken us as far as he could, we should never have renewed him then we wouldn't be in this mess. All the signs were there, but we ignored them. Would we have done so if he wasn't an ex player?

 

[Redfrog]

I agree the problem is the coaching at the club. Cant everyone see it? With the players we have, we should be playing elite level attacking football
Feck me
Ronaldo
Greenwood
Rashford
Sancho
Martial
Cavani
Bruno
Pogba

I really can’t watch us. We are so boring.
I was Ole in since he was at the club and I think we played much better and he recruted well but the cycle seems over. The players need something else and don’t believe anymore.
We need a coach who will give clear patterns to a lot of the young players we have. We are not a tea anymore.

 

[sparx99]

How did it work out the last three times we changed manager? Maybe something else is going on?

Ole has done what he was brought in to do. Rebuild the culture of the club, gets quality players through the door and get top 4.

Now we need someone to help us take the next step. He has shown an inability to do that part.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Well I suppose it depends on your definition of management.
he’d be a good option for Newcastle to build up to top 4

I wouldn't agree really. Much better managers who have tactical noise.

Potter and a DOF would be a better setup for Newcastle

 

[christinaa]

We have no game plan and no tactics.
That's as much as Ole knows .

 

[caid]

The season is salvageable, just not with Ole.

But in reality there is a <1% chance he's sacked this side of Christmas. And he'll probably scrape a couple of jammy wins during the tough run of games and save his arse for a bit longer.

It shouldn't be about a good game saving him anymore. Every game should be good, we have loads and loads of options. Enough to throw a coherent team together, with some basic plan. Every poor performance this season should be a potential sacking offence, he's already had a dozen or so which is too much. No more room for error.

 

[Ranchero]

That is exactly how this team plays.
Gotta wonder what the hell we are doing on the training pitch week in, week out.
It's the same disjointed play as if the guys just met each other yesterday.
We can't press.
We can't play out of a press.
No sign of any improvement on the above.

Said before and say again. You only have to look at how we defend corners. All 11 in pen box. Some defending space not marking. No out ball. Nobody close to closing down any clearance. It is amateur stuff.
Week in Week out

 

[NK86]

How did it work out the last three times we changed manager? Maybe something else is going on?

Because we keep hiring has-beens or never-beens. If Ole is sacked and we make Carrick the manager, you think it's the players issue because we will inevitably be shite again.

We should be hiring the best managers out there. When the driver is shite, you can give him a Rolls Royce on an empty highway but he will still find a way to ram it into the wall.

When you see the team is "not right", then it simply has to be the manager. All the nonsense about being the hardest working, United DNA bs is all words. Nothing whatsoever is seen on the pitch.

Ole is a shite manager. No matter what his fans may think, the writing is absolutely stamped into the wall.

 

[glazed]

Now we need someone to help us take the next step. He has shown an inability to do that part.

That assumes the owners want to do that.

Because we keep hiring has-beens or never-beens. If Ole is sacked and we make Carrick the manager, you think it's the players issue because we will inevitably be shite again.

Yes but why do we do that?

 

[christinaa]

Ole has done what he was brought in to do. Rebuild the culture of the club, gets quality players through the door and get top 4.

Now we need someone to help us take the next step. He has shown an inability to do that part.

I agree with this.

 

[sparx99]

It’s not surprising that an ex-striker doesn’t understand how to setup a midfield.

Fergie aside there haven’t been too many good strikers who became managers have there?

 

[Moriarty]

Thats been the problem for a while. Quite a few of those players understand the game better than him.

Quite a few have played under far better coaches/managers too and know a bit about systems and coaching.

 

[Random Task]

To be fair, he just exposed himself

I think, maybe, he's just a little peeved at the thought of United fans halfway celebrating a United loss. I would share that sentiment.

 

[tjb]

This is, sadly, where I am right now and I feel gutted even thinking it but I’m not sure he’s got what it takes but neither have the Glazers.

Shocking state of affairs.

Glazers don't manage the team, they just give the money, which is what has resulted in our talented squad. Ole's done a great job rebuilding and we needed him imo. However, we can't waste this season for him to learn. He needs to go. Ronaldo is 36, we are good enough imo to win the league with the players we have. It's on the manager to figure out how to make that happen.

 

[Moriarty]

It’s not surprising that an ex-striker doesn’t understand how to setup a midfield.

Fergie aside there haven’t been too many good strikers who became managers have there?

Cloughie was a striker, Sparky too, but I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

 

[Red_toad]

Good to see Rashford back. What a strike by Greenwood. Poor performance by many of the players, appeared a few were very jet lagged or fatigued. Ole had no answers and we looked like a bunch of individuals no where near a unit.

 

[justsomebloke]

He played the entire game vs Brazil 36 hours ago?

Of course. Thanks.

 

[grahamo]

The defending at the end was spectacularly poor. Who coaches this team?
