I don't think they'll sack him either, they should but we're never proactive.
How would the players and fans react tomorrow if the board backs Ole?
- Thread starter Ralph1386
- Start date
If I would be a player I would be furious if Maguire would not retire before Monday. Just image when he will be even slower after 2-3 years!!
I'm not saying mug his car, but the bolded is a load of shite. He's on 10m+ salary on year basis and would need 30m+ to sack him considering the appalling qualities he has as a manager and the fans should be loyal and continue to clap at our performances?
Posing for selfies after you are stuffed 5-0 at home to your rivals says it all - both on Ole and on those fans.
90% of the fans would be pissed.
Foreign fans by definition are harder to find at the grounds. It is implicit.
I'll ignore you too. No great loss.
It'd be just delaying the inevitable. The players had a great chance today to respond and they didn't. They lost confidence in themselves and the manager, and it'll keep getting worse from there.
He's been here for years, he hasn't learned and we were even allowing him to try to do it on the job. What the hell is long term?
You disagree that Barcelona fans are ambitious than Man Utd fans?
(Ignoring the context of this thread)
Fair do's
This. I’d ban every one of them.
Clueless armchair pundits taking shots at loyal fans attending the games and supporting the team unwaveringly in the face of a terrible result, real classy, fecking disgrace.
There should be a bot that automaticaly replies with this when someone has the cheek to state that matchgoing fans are some superior beings and our opinions don’t count if we don’t sleep in the stadium’s parking lot. Without overseas fans United wouldn’t be different than Norwich and the matchgoing fans would enjoy supporting their manager while playing in the Papa John’s trophy.
Yeah imagine asking for a selfie and autograph of a guy who's fecking up your season and just lost 5-0 to arch-rivals.
All that while 'running' a top set of players and having no decency to admit being a failure.

I think if anyone’s expecting him to go better be ready for disappointment. We are the new Arsenal whether you like it or not this is about money and control. The board don’t want someone who’ll fight them like LVG and Mourinho they want a yes man like Ole. The way Neville spoke is like he knows something and I’ve got a feeling that he’s right!
The mythologsing of match going fans on this forum is hilarious. Two women infront of me would always talk about their family lives for 80 minutes and wake up for the last 10. As if 70 thousand people are a hive mind of everything that's great about being a football watcher.
The vast majority of the people on this board who have never been to Old Trafford, know more about football than the vast majority of match going fans.
Blindly supporting someone doesn't make you a bench mark of standard.

You'll do nothing.
I guess it's pretty much safe to say that matchgoing Barcelona fans have retained the ability to maintain critical thinking and to point out towards the problem while it is completely lost among Old Trafford regulars. Do me a favour.

I think as with players, managers have their level, I think it is becoming obvious that oles level isn't quite upto what Utd fans were hoping, yes he has built a good squad of players but he doesn't seem to be tactically adaptable enough to get the most out of them. The board should be able to recognise that oles level isn't quite enough. It wouldn't surprise me if they backed him as thus far they have shown a spectacular lack of ambition. I'm hopeful they will be searching for a replacement but even then who is available before the end of the season.
Yup. They're free to do what they want since they buy their tickets but in my eyes anyone still supporting ole as the manager is actually against United succeeding
I'd bet most of those autograph hunters are daytrippers on their first outing to OT. The vets who've seen it all over the years would have been livid after that display, you couldn't sell them an autograph.
I imagine the entire football world would be gobsmacked. Make no mistake this wasn’t some run of the mill match. This is seen as the biggest English football match, and one team got humiliated at their own ground infront of millions of eyes who watched it.
You’ll do nothing in your armchair lad. Except keep shouting your mouth online. Will no doubt remain a newbie.
Old Trafford has some of the most loyal fans in the world. You take digs at them like they are naive idiots. It’s probably too much to expect ‘fans’ like yourself to show some respect.
Those "loyal fans" you're referring to were booing their asses off at half-time and full-time today, just as they were against Atalanta.
Their support is not quite as unwavering as you'd think.
He has already lost the players, so they don't give a feck, they will just wait until he goes
You can boo the performance and that would be expected by the players and manager, the core majority were still singing their arses off at 85 minutes and 5 nil down.
Regardless, I don’t want to see fair weather fans online slagging off the match going fans who pay hard earned money to sit through that and still back their club with all they have. They have backbone and deserve respect.
You are in million different threads subtlety insulting fans.
Surprised you are getting away with it.
Top red mentality is killing this club. All brainwashed by Fergie's now infamous farewell speech.The state of our matchgoing fans.

Yes and that's why Chelsea win trophies and we win feck all nowadays.
We’ve become the footballing version of a wax museum.
This is how the rot has set in and festered. Man has just led us to a humiliating defeat against our oldest rivals and instead of holding him accountable we are taking selfies and asking for autographs
I would personally categorize that speech among his biggest mistakes as manager of Manchester United. So silly to say in a changing reality.
Those fans may never get the chance to meet a club legend again and want a photo with him, god knows how far they’ve traveled to be there.
He really needs a PR team to babysit him. For someone who speaks non stop about United DNA, he really doesn’t get how that looks even if just for tourists.Lining up for selfies after a 0-5 trashing by LFC at Old Trafford and the most painful league game in decades
The Barca thing is rank though, I hope we never sink to that level.
Well, this is our inevitable destiny. Ten years from now we'll be fully established as out of the top four never to return on any kind of regular basis.
Uhuh. First and only time I've commented about fans tonight.
And those weren't fans they were autograph hunters.
No one should be abusing our manager regardless. Thats a line we should never cross.
Not sure it would make any sense for the board to give Ole a public vote of confidence at this stage. Performances and results against Spurs, Atalanta and City could leave this in the dust pretty quickly, but conversely Ole's position will be completely untenable if we still look shit against Spurs after a rare whole week on the training ground.
Potential replacements have to be sounded out at this stage, even if Ole will still to be in charge for the Spurs match.

He should be pulled in front of the board room and sacked tomorrow, his decisions have been shocking for a while and it’s not helping anyone to let it fester any longer.
I wouldn't blame anyone for sacking Ole tomorrow, but it is pointless without a replacement lined up. I don't want Phelan, McKenna or Carrick managing us for a number of games. Sacking the manager is the easy part.
Not at all, Mourinho was fecked right off mid season when it was clear the season and performances were going down the drain.
LVG always looked capable of 4th and finished joint 4th with shitty, winning the FA Cup.
People think we sack when 4th is gone due to Moyes but that had as much to do with that daft 6 year contract and the “support your manager” stuff.
Ole aint surviving this unless he goes on a run, starting with City, a game I think they may give him.
I don’t think it matters at this stage you couldn’t do any worse we only need a caretaker for a few games Felcher or Carrick. Then bring in Zidane even if it’s short term his just can’t go on.
This is a great example of why sacking the manager does not solve the problem. You have no plan and are likely to leave us worse off both short term and long term. You can sack the manager, but don't shit the bed in doing so.
