This is the reason, woody final present

So like I already predicted. The plan was to use Woody’s exist as a nice excuse for Arnold to come in and be all.. anti Ole and accuse Woodward of loosing his marbles.

Woody went home and had a hard think and was like hold on a minute Arney that still makes me look like an incompetent prike. I’ll just do it myself and pretend I didn’t want to leave you with my bad baggage so I sorted you out with a proper coach.

Get Neil Ashton and Gary Neville on the phone.

United minus the Glazers
I’ve had time to process our last defeat. I really wanted Ole to succeed with us and win trophies. Part of me wants him to turn this around but it isn’t going to happen. Hopefully we hear of the sacking in the next couple of days. Sad times

Our club has become an utter joke by this point. We have only broken the 80 point barrier once since 2013. Zero title challenges.

We must hold the record for the worst use of cash and talent in football history.

Keeping this guy in the job was just the cherry on the cake. Our owners are the problem though we are the B show to their American football franchise who funnily enough are a smaller club than us.

I don't really understand because I'm not sure what and who is coming -

In your eyes what is going to happen and when is it going to happen exactly?

Him looking after himself doesn't mean he's not a legend. Fergie took the owners of the club to court. Does that mean he's not a legend?
Only a fool doesn't make himself the priority. People should respect that. Ole is a legend nothing will change that.
Technically Sir Alex took shareholders of the club to court

The squad is completely unbalanced now. We have more attackers than we need and no depth in CM.
We lack a good no 6. And could do with a new GK (or give henderson a proper crack, probably the former though) and another RB wouldn't go amiss. But other than that we have a fine squad.

Cavani and Ronaldo are both mid 30's and in Rashord Greenwood and Sancho we have a very exciting young front three that will be the cornerstone of our attack in the coming seasons.

He's just making stuff up now.

It's been reported recently that Woodward is staying in till March/April now so this about to leave stuff is crap.
Neville doesn't have a clue, but as far as I know Ogden is the only person who reported about Woodward staying beyond this year, so I'd take that with a pinch of salt. Even if there's truth in it he says Woodward may remain until April so it's still unclear what's going on.

Ole in his press conference before the City game claimed we came into the City game on the back of two huge results against Spurs and Atalanta.

The key to his statement was how he wanted us to believe those results were huge when in reality they weren't great at all. We beat a club who were in a bigger mess than we currently are and had to be saved last minute against an injury depleted team in Italy.

To me it felt like he was already anticipating the defeat and hoping he'd done enough. Sad thing is he is more than likely right.

The clubs a mess from top to bottom, all this United DNA rubbish, we're never going have the Sir Alex days back, we need a new direction now and not an obsession for the past.

The fact that your asking me that silly question means you’re Ole in as far as I’m concerned.

That last night they still were backing Ole... I just don't see where the belief in him can stem from.
There isn't any belief, because no one with a fully functional brain could genuinely believe Solskjaer is either good enough nor capable of turning around the mess he's created. The backing from the board is financially motivated with a hint of blind faith and face saving. They have only recently given the manager and his inept coaching staff new contracts. Sacking them so soon after that not only costs them money, but makes them look like even bigger imbeciles than they already did.

Due to their incompetence we will all endure a miserable season until they finally pull the plug. Solskjaer will probably go the same way as Moyes and age about 10 years by the end of it, and we'll all end up hating him as his interviews become more and more inane. Our best players will become progressively more pissed off and want out. All because our board are not only incompetent, but even worse incapable of learning from the mistakes they've made during the last 8 years. It takes a special kind of stupid to make the same mistakes over and over. But hey that's the Manchester United Glazer era for you.

No I just didn't get your post because I don't know who Arnold is etc.

Is Ed Woodward now going to sack Ole by himself or going to leave it to his replacement?

These 14% who wants to keep ole are not Man Utd fans. We are the best team in the world and shouldn’t accept mediocrity as good enough even if he’s a club legend

Richard Arnold. He currently works for the club doing some financial or marketing job. Him and Ed Woodward are mates from Bristol University (They all basically run our club) and he will be replacing Ed when he finally leaves.

1. The board still believe he's the right man; or
2. The board have finally come to the realisation that this isn't going anywhere however because they gave him a 3 year contract a few months ago, they feel like sacking him would be embarrassing
None of that makes sense though. They would have to be completely delusional to think he is the right man. They have eyes and ears dont they. Even if there are some within the board that are for some bat sht crazy reason still backing Ole then what are the others doing? No player is saying anything? Sir Alex is not saying anything? Nobody within the club is saying hey wait a minute this is just not right? Im sorry but thats **** level thinking. There is no other way I can put it. When all facts and evidence point conclusively one way but the group choose to not believe it. Either that or the board are getting knocks on their door every hour and Sir Alex and players and all the football people are saying get rid of Ole but a few hard liner board members wont budge. That is also a conspiracy. Its a different kind but just as mad.

The embarrassed by giving him a 3 month contract makes no sense as well. They look more stupid not sacking him. Plus that has never stopped them in the past. Business people dont make decisions based on not being embarrassed and if they do that again is completely mad.

We are nowhere near the best or biggest team in the world. Maybe 15 years ago we were.

How is he still not sacked? :mad:

Surely having Ronaldo run the team or bringing Rooney in as caretaker is better than doing nothing

The board dont really care what happens on the pitch. The board is irrelevant, all that matters is the Glazers. From their perspsective its all fine. Ronaldo drove shirt sales, Twitter mentions and the share price. They pocket another $150m. Meanwhile the delusional yes man of a manager continues to believe he is somehow the answer, the top reds at OT continue to applaud Ole (for what at this point I have no idea) and the Glazer protests have strangely gone. Until and unless there is a proper football structure in place, and football achievement is the club's main goal, then nothing changes.

As for those still applauding Ole yesterday, if you applaud him you are applauding the scandalous capitulation to City that he engineered. I would ask all of you, are you Utd fans or Ole fans. They are very different and its time to decide

It’s mind boggling that he’s still here. 7-0 aggregate loss to our two biggest rivals in a week

If he's not gone by the end of Tuesday I get the rage, but it's not even 9am on Sunday morning. If people expected him to be binned off that quickly its your own fault, that wasn't ever happening.

How on earth is he still our manager
Man United board = monkeys, clowns, idiots etc.

The club badge and ethos is being erroded away year after year. Sooner rather than later everyone will view Man United the same was as say Tottenham or Everton.

It's not so much the final score that's the problem.

The fact that Liverpool and City did this while in 2nd gear that's the problem. Yesterday City looked like they were strolling around their training pitch stringing passes together.

Does Gary still have inside knowledge of Man Utd and its dealings? Looks like he is preemptively giving reasons to sack Ole like it could happen.
Reads to me more like he’s trying to paint Woodward as the villain again if Ole does go any time soon under Woodward’s time. Which of course gives his mate Ole even more time

Arnold would have to go too.

Ideal situation would be to give Ragnick the interim job until we get Ten Haag and the whole coaching team of Ajax as well as VdS for the DoF role. Replace everyone that's been remotely in touch with this shit show.

If anything that statement from Gary, assuming he's ITK, just throws Arnold under the bus since he's been appointed by the same stooges who allow Woody to pull this type of shit.
It isn't ITK.

It's just blatantly obvious that a CEO due to leave in a few weeks makes strategic decisions like sacking a manager more complicated. The only possible alleviation to this is his replacement is an internal appointment whom he may have a close working relationship with. But none of us know what the situation is behind the scenes.

This, I've just listened to Gary's podcast on the game. He finished by saying that this is unacceptable... Despite spending the previous 18 minutes explaining why fans should accept it until the end of the season.

This narrative that the club aren't prepared to part with Ole. How many clubs are ever truly prepared to change manager? More often than not managers are sacked because a club is in crisis. The board have to do what they are paid big.money to do and make the best football decision.

There is not a dimension where keeping Ole as manager is the best football decision.

Why is everyone interpreting this differently. He’s basically saying he doesn’t want the new CEO to blame him for not sacking Ole so now he will do it himself.

It's just despair of the highest order when I realize I'd still see him managing the team for next match. Another humiliation where we'll see him smiling at the bench doing nothing

What a sickening situation

You and I know that is not happening. That’s too much change for the Glazers. Arnold will stay but they might get a football man in finally.
