Ole Sack Watch

[Robertd0803]

Any latest on his sacking. Normally get media/journo stuff around this time at night don't we?

Wishful thinking. Theres nothing happening. If he wasnt sacked after the Liverpool fiasco he wont be sacked after the City game.

The idiots in charge probably took a look at the weekends results and thought everybody else dropped points as well and thought we are still in contention.

BBC are now running this story under the website headline - ‘Why Man Utd Are Sticking With Solskjaer’.

The article emerged almost immediately after Liverpool’s loss to West Ham, make of that what you will…

BBC - Why Man Utd are sticking with Solskjaer

Doesn't really looked like anything has been briefed yet though.

I expect we'll see a flurry of briefed reports either tomorrow night or Tuesday, one way or the other.

Expecting our board to be competent enough to do things on a Sunday is like expecting Ole to coach a training session.

What a sweet story. I assume you made it out safely.

No, he's posting from the air duct.

The fact that his man management was his best attribute initially and for that to completely sour is what makes the situation irreversible in my eyes. Sancho looks to be on his way to that VDB trajectory under Ole.

His strength has become a weakness and we're struggling as a result on top of all his usual weaknesses on the tactical side of things.

It has a different headline on it now when I click on it, it says 'More calls for sacking'.

Bruno and Ronaldo, forget goals and assists, the best thing you can do for the club is to get rid of Ole.

Jesus, it's all coming out.

Lots of noise on twitter tonight coming from within the players camp.

This is not a good sign for Ole and his team, especially as all the comments are correct.

 

[sparx99]

And if we sack him and appoint the wrong person it could as things worse.
We scrabble round make a rushed appointment, fund them to the tune of hundreds of millions like we have the last 3 managers and end up with an even more bloated imbalanced squad

They aren’t going to spend hundreds of millions in January. Sack him now. Appoint a caretaker. Plan for the summer. If the caretaker does shit sack him too. That’s how you have to be. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. Only a failure to act when the mistake becomes painfully evident.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

It begins….

 

[TMDaines]

If our board watched the West Ham v Liverpool game tonight and saw how West Ham went toe-to-toe and with them, I don’t know how anyone could maintain faith with Ole after our last two home performances.

 

[hobbers]

Sack him, appoint a caretaker. Spend 7 months figuring out the next steps.

You know, what you should have done 3 years ago you clueless, feckless cretins.

Exactly. Makes no sense when people spout that shit. Don't make a change that is clearly needed because the next guy might not be perfect???? So..... stay with shit because next one might be shit too... yeah that makes sense haha

 

[choccy77]

International break..... players start talking on their travels and these stories all come out.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Now, I think he might be getting sacked after all.

 

[Revan]

And so it begins. The legend of the brilliant man manager dies by a thousand cuts.

 

[USREDEVIL]

It begins….

Some of the best posts are the shortest

 

[Gazautd18]

Players finally publicly coming out with this.
It's over for him

 

[Delano]

Drip, drip.

 

[CloneMC16]

I'm with you pal. I was staying in the Lowry the other night and found out Ole was in the room next to me. I broke through the air duct cover and crawled into it as much as I could and softly sung Ole's at the wheel like a lullaby. I heard weeping coming from the other end of the ventilation shaft and then Ole's voice thanking me. We have to support the manager however we can mate.

Sounds like a copypasta from Twitter

 

[Ole90+3]

Why? Isn’t it just this Chris Wheeler geezer who is reporting this unrest?

Yes king Theoden. It begins...

 

[choccy77]

If Rodgers has accepted job at end of season, Could United now decide to pay him out now and put him in ASAP?

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Tic Tac

The exact same type of stories also came out after the Liverpool match and nothing happened then.

Hopefully its different now

I hope not.

 

[bosnian_red]

Let's hope. It's beyond a joke if he isn't sacked.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Brendan is coming...

 

[Red Star One]

And so it begins. The legend of the brilliant man manager dies by a thousand cuts.

To be fair, we always made it up just to feel better about Ole and his tactical shortcomings. His biggest advantage was not being an arrogant feck like Jose (or perhaps his best trait was in fact not being Jose). Glad to see some noise coming from players camp, they know that their time at the peak is limited and wasting any other day with inept manager is just damaging to their careers.

 

[Cloud7]

Ah those last few tweets are more like what I want to see. More of that until he’s out please.

 

[choccy77]

They didn't though.

This time, these stories are more direct and sustained because as players travel for internationals they moan and talk to friends other players and media and it all gets leaked.

Everything coming out tonight and tomorrow will be straight from the players.

It's pretty damming.

 

[Paxi]

He’s not going to survive games at Chelsea etc anyway. Just a matter of when rather than if.

 

[Fortitude]

I have a question: If Ole was sacked tonight, and we had to have an interim manager from within the club for a while (a few games whilst appointing a suitable caretaker), who would be in line for that job?

 

[Irwin99]

It's kind of funny that the BBC article states that it's all gone wrong very quickly when even Ole himself has said there have been 2 or 3 crisis since he joined the club. This is the fourth occasion where he could have been sacked already but he has turned it around. This time feels different though.
