Ole Sack Watch

[foolsgold]

You'd hope the talk about him not resigning is just to do with severance payment negotiation. The situation is now clearly untenable.

 

[::sonny::]

He is like a politician, will never resign

 

[Strelok]

Jose went out cause of disastrous league form.

And losing the dressing room. Ole will be the same. I have the exact same feeling now. It's inevitable and probably very soon.

People are too naive to hope for a top manager like Zidane or Conte. Or some hot stuff like Ten Hag. It'll be Carrick as the new caretaker and we'll try to win the Europa League to qualify for the CL next year again. This season is basically a wrote off for me.

 

[buckooo1978]

its time to go now....

a decent defensive interim manager would be a huge improvement

even a manager like Rafa would have us playing a lot better

plan for our next boss next Summer - there's no way we get a top manager in the middle of the season

 

[pratyush_utd]

Don't see the point of this article. Why will he resign from United job? This is probably his only chance at top flight management

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Tomorrow is the perfect time to sack him. No midweek game, so even if takes 2-3 days to come to terms with a new manager, they'd still be able to come in and take a training session before the Spurs game.

 

[tomaldinho1]

I'd like to see a poll of who here is convinced the club will sack Ole and who, like me, are currently worried about us sticking with him till the end of the season.

We’re all scared of the latter.

 

[Foxbatt]

He is like a politician, will never resign

with a politician the public can at least vote them out.

 

[Offside]

Problem we have here is no replacement. Can’t see Zidane or Conte at United.

 

[SAFMUTD]

I'm starting to think he'll actually stay after that shit show, as amazing as it is I don't think he'll be sacked and for sure he won't quit. He made that clear with his loser statements.

Anyone praising or respecting Ole at this point its a fool, he's not respecting us as a club. Those statements are shameless, "we are close to what we want to achieve" what the actual feck you just got humiliated 5-0 at Old Trafford, it wasn't more because Liverpool went soft after Pogba's redcard.

This was no accident like 1-6 against City when 3 goals where scored in 90+, this was a total humiliation. How the feck do you have the balls to go out and claim you are building something remotely close to good enough? Feck him, don't care what he represented as a player.

 

[justsomebloke]

Disagree

Oh, okay. Well, I suppose I should have known that things still aren't so bad that there's no appetite for hyperbole.

 

[lilcurt]

Can't believe it hasn't been announced already!

 

[Flytan]

I think he's the worst manager in the premier league but I have no issues with him not resigning. Board needs to act, not him. Woodward needs to stop being a coward, no sane human being gives up 16 million

 

[justsomebloke]

Don't see the point of this article. Why will he resign from United job? This is probably his only chance at top flight management

Also, what else can he possibly say? Say he's considering it, then he's already as good as resigned. Nobody does that in a post-match interview.

 

[Sandikan]

Can't believe it hasn't been announced already!

There must be some animated calls going on behind the scenes at least!

But you just know we won't be decisive. We'll probably "see how it goes" up until the next international break.

 

[VidaRed]

Problem we have here is no replacement. Can’t see Zidane or Conte at United.

At this point anyone will be an improvement. Get in someone else till the end of the season if our prime targets aren't available. We can get them after the season.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Wasn’t the whole reason many wanted to keep him because of how bad it was at the end of Mourinho, well it’s somehow fecking worse. Less trophies, less points in his best season, more money spent and a team meltdown this season even fecking worse than Mou’s.

 

[Roboc7]

Expect he will be gone tomorrow, mutual consent. There’s no point in him being on charge now.

 

[pratyush_utd]

 

[Ferguson’s Hairdryer]

Problem we have here is no replacement. Can’t see Zidane or Conte at United.

I’d give Rodgers a go. My only problem with Rodgers would be in the past 2 seasons his Leicester team have crumbled at the last minute and lost out on CL places. But he’s done amazing to get them there, he’s won an FA cup. He has a good style of play but can also adapt.

Plus he improves what he has. When they sold Maguire to us, he didn’t sign a replacement but instead played Seyancu who was previously a squad player. No excuses for not getting the signing he wanted, no regression just improvement with what was previously a squad player stepping up into the first team.

 

[arnie_ni]

Best of it is, we have more points than this time last year don't we?

 

[SMNRe"d"volution]

He has done lots of positive for United but by prolonging his tenure he is tarnishing his own legacy. If he resigns, he will be looked favourably in future otherwise will be lumped alongside Moyes, Van Gaal, Jose.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Best of it is, we have more points than this time last year don't we?

Think we had 16 points last year and by December I thought he should have been sacked.

He’s doing worse, after that fecking Summer.

 

[MattyLT]

Yes, he should be sacked. But the calls for him to resign are stupid and in bad faith. It's not a manager's job to hire or fire himself. If he's still in the job tomorrow, that's 100% on the board.

 

[led_scholes]

We lost 0-5 to a midfield of Henderson, Milner and Keira. Anyone blaming it just on players should give up football.

 

[Judas]

He'll be in charge of our next game, he shouldn't be, but he will. Don't torture yourself into thinking he won't be.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

I'm starting to think he'll actually stay after that shit show, as amazing as it is I don't think he'll be sacked and for sure he won't quit. He made that clear with his loser statements.

Quite honestly, judging by Sir Alex's reaction, I doubt a single hand goes up for him if there is a yes or no vote at board level.

 

[Ole'sattheWheel]

I was always Ole in to be honest. Through the tough patches of form we go through I always believed we'd bounce back and we have until now.

I am grateful for everything he has done for us. but I don't think he can take us any further so I'm now Ole out unfortunately.

Completely unacceptable start to this season when we arguably have the best "on-paper" team in the league.

I don't feel any animosity towards him or that he's "clueless" - just not the right man for MUFC from now on unfortunately.

After Leiceister and first half v Atalanta I was teetering on it, but today solidifies it for me.

He took us as far as he could and did a lot of good for the club - which if you asked me when he was appointed I would have been happy with:
Best football since fergie, restructuring of player recruitment (& I believe youth setup?), removed toxic atmosphere left by mourinho, challenge for top 4, then improve year on year, a minor cup would've been nice, bring back the united attacking philosophy (there are more i've forgotten).

Sorry Ole, I will love you forever but it's time to go I'm afraid, I just wouldn't wanna give liverpool the satisfaction of being the ones who "got him sacked", so I'd give him a bit longer since we are out of the title race now so a few more defeats won't matter against our next few tough teams.
I think keep him until jan and try to secure one of conte or zidane.

Man I'm depressed right now

 

[Zoo]

Everyone in football knows what must happen.

 

[arnie_ni]

I'm not sure he is. We were shite then and we are shite now and it's maddening we gave him a 3 year extension in the summer.

 

[SAFMUTD]

Who are these 128 people that voted for keeping him?

Any mod that can make the poll public? Surely must be opposition fans

 

[McGrathsipan]

I think it'll be Tuesday.
He's not going to be in charge for Spurs.

He'll go in to the players tomorrow and tell them then it'll come out. Mutal consent.

Very sad for him

 

[steve.crowford]

Give us Conte!

 

[RedBanker]

Yes, he should be sacked. But the calls for him to resign are stupid and in bad faith. It's not a manager's job to hire or fire himself. If he's still in the job tomorrow, that's 100% on the board.

Absolutely not. For a supposed club legend resigning is THE CORRECT thing to do. But he won't and that tells a lot about his character. After his stint I will rate him as an outsider who valued his payday more than anything else.

 

[Sviken]

Quite honestly, judging by Sir Alex's reaction, I doubt a single hand goes up for him if there is a yes or no vote at board level.

Sir Alex doesn't run the club. He's basically used as a mascot right now. Clowns like Woodie and Richard Arnold do.

 

[Acquire Me]

It’s mainly opposition fans, that’s for sure.

 

[Varane around town]

Fall on your sword Ole.

Don't wait for the board to sack you. Don't let it end like this.

 

[Nytram Shakes]

Ten Hag wont arrive here now mid season. For the new season. He wont leave Ajax all of a sudden.

But Ole wont be sacked anyway

Well that’s my point it depends completely on what we do if we sack him. I wouldn’t want to see Ten Hag come in now the squad is a mess
So if we did sack Ole now (which I agree we won’t) but if we where to what would we do? And the likely hood is make even more of a mess by bringing in a big name manger whose gonna make it even more of a mess.

He's a board member.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Fergie and Gill sit on the advisory board and clearly have a decent say, unless you believe it was Woody’s idea to bring Phelan & Ole back to the club; in which case you’re off your rocker.
