My daft error, but the point remains, if Mourinho was sacked “because 4th was gone”, how did we end up 4th with 12 games to go?
The month is Dec 2053. Damien asks Damien Jnr to create a thread on redcafe to point out Solius prediction was wrong.
Ole is not only trying to do what's best for the club at this point, he is also trying to keep his job. This is skewing his tactics. As for him thinking that he is still up for the job, I don't doubt it. As I have said before, classic Dunning-Kruger effect. Some of his United mates need to have a word.
Of course it's the board's fault. They shouldn't have appointed him in the first place on a permanent basis.
I hate this club so much right now.
It has nothing to do with liking them or not, the point is about the personal relationship that Hoeness and Abramovich have with Hiddink and Heynckes, you can't make that out of nothing, it's not something that you replicate. And no I don't think that any of what you wrote is true, it's not for other clubs and it won't be for United, clubs all around the world misjudge managers and find themselves scrambling for replacements what often happen is that they give it to a youth coach or someone linked to the club but that doesn't have the quality or experience.
Despair.
SAF as a manager made this club what it is. After he retired he has done a lot of damage too by getting Moyes to replace him and now backing Ole.
Inept stuff
This is one of the biggest problems!
Yes, it’s only 8m or so. I would really love to see all these people on Caf saying that it’s nothing in a situation where they are asked to forego 1/10 of this amount because this is what you should do “if you love the club”. Notwithstanding the above, I really think that OGS truly believes that he is capable o turning the whole situation around and be successful with Man United. It’s completely crazy and will not happen but this is the mindset of most pro athletes.
Ahem. Ever heard of a gentleman called Matt Busby? Jimmy Murphy?
I want to believe this is just an attempt at positive PR like we saw literally 24 hours before Jose went
Then can quite easily walk away until he's gone from this club
Yeah he seems a lot harder to sack than Mourinho due to this. We are in big trouble.
Most unemployed managers are shoddy and definitely worse than Ole which isn't to say that Ole is remotely good. Some of them are probably better but are they interested in a caretaking job and are they interesting enough for a mid term contract? And there is no guarantee to get a CL qualification, so the cost vs benefit will be skewed toward what you know which is the cost of sacking the manager while having no guarantee to mitigate it with better results.
We have as much chance of turning around as Harry Maguire does when his back's facing the goal.
Unfortunately this is spot on

This is a bit of an awkward thing to come to terms with but I completely agree. Woodward has rightly been singled out for his awful management of the club, but even SAF shouldn't escape criticism for his involvement in hiring and protecting his friends at the club. We need a clean slate at the board/executive level, and frankly we can't move on and improve unless we shed this "United DNA/Way" nonsense that's acted as a barrier for progress.

Devastating news, what a horrible start for the week
They are cream crackered after their futile jaunt to buy a cricket-ball team
It shouldn't have been achievable, 11 pts is a hell of a lot to make up but we went on a miraculous run after changing the manager. The benchmark should never have been to only get top 4 this season anyway, after we did that the last 2 years and have added Ronaldo, Sancho and Varane, with the other players in the squad having another year under their belt.My daft error, but the point remains, if Mourinho was sacked “because 4th was gone”, how did we end up 4th with 12 games to go?
Fourth was very much still clearly achievable, but Mourinho was sacked because the board had strong reservations about whether he could turn it around. If they have the same reservations about Ole, and they fecking well should, as he is doing worse than Mourinho, then fourth place will not be in the most important factor in waiting to sack him.
Feck this club!!
We got hammered at home by our greatest rivals, we got beat by City while they were in second gear and we couldn't lay a glove on them, embarrassed by Leicester, played the weakest opposition in our first run of fixtures compared to our rivals and still couldn't get a result against most of those teams, we lost 2 goals in the first half at OT against Atalanta the first time we have ever conceded 2 goals at home in the first half of a CL game and not scored. Doesnt know his style of play, doesnt know the right tactics to play, hopes for individual brilliance to save him over and over again, couldnt tell his best 11.
We're going to see this sort of tweet a lot until the end of the season aren't we. These media outlets might as well prepare a template - "#MUFC have no plans to replace Solskjaer after loss against {insert_team_here}, Solskjaer fully expected to be in charge of game against {insert_team_here}".
The board can feck right off.
It wouldn't surprise me if the coaches were nothing to do with Ole. Its just an experiment of how many ex and present Utd coaches/players they can squeeze in because...its the Utd way! If true Ole wouldn't want to kick up a fuss 3 years ago because he wanted the world to think hes the man.
