Now a properly run club would go out and bring in a winner like Tuchel and turn their season around and win the Champions League. We are not going to do that.
The club has no ruthless bastard to sort this out. It’s all nicey, nicey, don’t offend anyone shite. Someone at the club needs to grow a pair of testicles…and quickly.

People on here should respect Ole for the building of culture and team. He did a good job imo. That said, he got some key things wrong. Did not get the best possible trainers in his team. He did not get a holding midfielder.

Love and respect, but it’s time to leave the hot seat.
What is this culture he has built?

The problem is, he just signed a 3 year deal.
We always seem to splash out these extensions just before they fall off a cliff. Did it with Mourinho too.

Sooner it’s done the better, whoever comes in has loads of work to do. There’s no playing style, no system or evidence of any plan on or off the ball.

The club can’t have a season plodding along and patting themselves on the back because of a cultural reboot. This season there needed to be evidence of huge improvement, it was never going to happen and sooner people in charge realise the better.

The only hope for a quick mercy killing is a player revolt. Otherwise, probably not soon enough to salvage anything from the League or Champions League - December 2021.
As pathetic as it sounds, we need Ronaldo to throw his toys out the pram and complain about him. It'll take that sort of meltdown for our inept board to consider making a change.

If he walked himself tomorrow, he could at least legitimately say he's left us in a better condition than any of his three predecessors did.
In what way we are better than when Mourinho left? A broken team, shitter performances than there, and probably not much more points (on average). With far less success (Europa and League cup vs nothing), far less points on their second full season when both finished second.

We have a better squad though, but that is what 420m do for you.

Not happening immediately @Raoul , Woodward just gave Ole an extension not long ago. It would once again highlight his incompetence, as he sacked Jose after handing him out a new deal.

He needs to go though. This isn’t working at all and I can’t see it getting better apart from us going on some streak again which will ultimately be another false dawn.

We spent so much and we are not good at any particular thing?

1. Our attack is boring and disjointed
2. Our Midfield can't hold or pass the balls.
3. Our defence is one of the most expensive in the world but we can't defence.
4. Our style of play is stone age
5. Our team spirit is non existence

It would be just like us to sack him and give it to Carrick for a while.
I don't think that would happen. The players would be alienated even further. But an experienced interim manager would make sense to buy us time to secure the right fit going forward and allow us to make a quick decision now to salvage the season.

Ole should do the right thing and step down sharpish because they will not sack him until its too late for this season.

Well sack him when we're 15 points off top by mid November, and then look for some sort of romantic gesture as a temporary measure.
Ronaldo as player manager etc.

Then it'll go better than anyone expected, and he'll get it permanently :drool:

I cant answer yet, give him more time to do what? Is he going to get the midfielder etc that we need, and get in a coach that compliments his team and addresses our weaknesses? Because then I'd still say yes keep him give him time.... But I don't know anymore with Ole. Does he know what to do and is he on it? Otherwise its looking like dead man walking... sadly...

The club's hierarchy needs to purge anyone telling them he'd come good after backing. It's a vanity project at this point and they'd rather sink us than admit they made a mistake yet again.

converted to ole out.

source: me
So was I till this season. I was even prepared to give ole the benefit of the doubt last season because he wasn't backed in the transfer window but which doesn't hold true anymore.

Ole is untouchable as he is a yes man to the glazers and he doesn't cause them any problems as Jose did, Ole will still be in charge at the end of the season

Not that it’s the best course of action but I think the club will allow the season to play out and offer Ole the chance to resign before he’s sacked. I think that’s what the board will ideally hope for if they resign to the fact that we’ve ballsed up the season.

If results continue to get worse and worse, then I’d imagine in December after the tough run of games and after champions league group stages are over.

I honestly think, out of respect for Ole, he should be replaced. The next few weeks/potentially months are going to be very difficult. We're not functioning as a team, the online chatter is getting louder and louder, all it will take is a couple of miserable displays at home now and you will see the mood in Old Trafford really sour, and soon enough, it will be more pointed questions from the press week in week out.

I think we all see it coming at this point except for the most ardent of Ole-in folks. Why have him dragged through the mud like that + potentially waste what can still be a promising season?

Around the Arsenal game so the new manager would have an easier run of fixtures to bed in for the Europa campaign. That's the only thing we'll have a shot at winning this year.

Exactly this.

After the first few months of the season, no-one can say he deserves to stay. No-one!

Who goes backwards after signing Varane, Sancho and Ronaldo for goodness sake?!

The biggest fear is that we've barely played anyone either. That changes in the next 5 games, playing 4 of the hardest games. Only way they could be harder would be if the City/Pool games were away.

I half expect us to scrape through with a couple of wins and do ok, but there is that risk of a battering.
