True. I don't see the idiots in charge doing anything.I see people are getting their hopes up.
He's staying folks. Don't set yourselves up for disappointment.

Exactly. Should not be tomorrow with rest of the squad and stuff on training? What a hell?We are going to work hard to get back blah blah, goes on a holiday the very next day. Hope he never comes back.
I admire your optimism and pray you're right.I'm sorry, he has to be done. There's no way our club and Ole will go on holiday when there's a full blown crisis going on .
He's gone, expect the announcement soon lads.
Have you watched our clubs conduct in the last few years?I'm sorry, he has to be done. There's no way our club and Ole will go on holiday when there's a full blown crisis going on .

They wouldn't brief the media that they were backing him if they were on the verge of sacking him. He will be gone within the next month or so though.I'm sorry, he has to be done. There's no way our club and Ole will go on holiday when there's a full blown crisis going on .

You fully underestimate how entrenched his position is to the board. They've bet their careers on him. They won't remove him unless the owners straight up force them to because their futures rely on Ole at least making it to the end of the season. Fletchy probably went up to him this mornings and was like "Listen Ollie, take your family home for a few days and let it blow over".I'm sorry, he has to be done. There's no way our club and Ole will go on holiday when there's a full blown crisis going on .

He is just trying to gain sympathy for Ole. If Ole himself walks now without the payout, then yes, he will walk with his head held high. Even then it’s 2 week late.Tweet

Erm, to be fair there are internationals going on and a large number of the first team aren't available for training with the club so this is a good time for mini-breaks.I'm sorry, he has to be done. There's no way our club and Ole will go on holiday when there's a full blown crisis going on .

I've been pessimistic the whole time, I've thought we're stuck with him the whole season but the whole holiday thing makes no sense. You don't go on holiday when your house is on fire and your employees certainly don't let you go on holiday when your house is on fire.I admire your optimism and pray you're right.

I mean tbf when your house is on fire it’s probably the ideal time to go on holiday really if you want a roof over your head.I've been pessimistic the whole time, I've thought we're stuck with him the whole season but the whole holiday thing makes no sense. You don't go on holiday when your house is on fire and your employees certainly don't let you go on holiday when your house is on fire.
He literally said it's time to replace him.He is just trying to gain sympathy for Ole. If Ole himself walks now without the payout, then yes, he will walk with his head held high. Even then it’s 2 week late.
Maybe an exaggeration but their position on the board would have to be in question by the Glazers if they've constantly backed this manager despite poor results with massive investment. Surely the Glazers have to get annoyed with how shitty the decision making process is going year after year even with how nepotistic they are. There's also some relatively new people around the decision making process that don't have as strong of a connection to the Glazers who would probably be shifted out immediately if this fails. Fletcher was brought in by Ole, immediately promoted to the board (or at least in a position with supposed influence) so I could see him being removed when this fails. Ed's already resigned (technically) so if Ole is gone, his last act looks horrendous. Basically there's a lot riding on Ole magically becoming competent.What?
Why does it take Ferdy to show the club how to spin the story of moving Ole on in a positive way. This is a narrative that could have been told at the start of the season or in the aftermath of the Liverpool defeat.I agree with everything he says. The only risk now, is what is said about getting the fans back enjoying the games and looking forward to watching their team is rapidly being undone.
He's absolutely right, Ole did well settling everything down again but as I've said for a while, it's time for the next stage, a manager who can take us trophies, which with this squad can happen with the right manager.
Earlier in the season Ole lambasted Rio for talking shit about Jones being in the club. It wasnt until later that Rio learned the extent of Jones' injuries. Wth that in mind its questionable how much Rio actually knows about anything that goes on in the club, although I'm certain he talks to the players.That Rio video...
Ole is actually going isn't he. Given how Rio has defended him after every game and now this...he knows something. He's setting the narrative for the sentiment when the news hits. The club have sent Ole away to avoid the fallout.
Tell me I'm talking rubbish!
In the board's eyes there's no crisis. We defeated Spurs and top of CL group. Getting embarrassed by City was expected I guess, and he dodged a big defeat. All is forgiven.I'm sorry, he has to be done. There's no way our club and Ole will go on holiday when there's a full blown crisis going on .
He's gone, expect the announcement soon lads.
Me too. He needs to go but it’s really shite the way it’s playing out.Oh my god...I'm starting to feel sad at the thought of him going ffs. Even though I want him to go. I think it might be happening.
It's incredibly unlikely he's been sacked this morning, been publicly pictured leaving the country because he's been sacked, and they've not announced it and no one in the media has got wind that he's gone.I'm sorry, he has to be done.

I don't think he's been sacked yet, I think they've let him go on holiday so they can decide on who to take over then sack him while he's in Norway. iirc they did the same to LVG.It's incredibly unlikely he's been sacked this morning, been publicly pictured leaving the country because he's been sacked, and they've not announced it and no one in the media has got wind that he's gone.
Having said that, a manager being allowed to go on holiday mid-season seems very odd, even if there is an international break.
No they didn't. Woodward told LVG face to face that he's sacked 48 hours after the Fa Cup final.I don't think he's been sacked yet, I think they've let him go on holiday so they can decide on who to take over then sack him while he's in Norway. iirc they did the same to LVG.
So better to sack him after they beat us and we're off 12+ points from the top before December than now when they've got 2 weeks to plan a transition and there's still room to salvage the season, makes perfect sense.Chelsea
That would be a disgrace void of any human decency.I don't think he's been sacked yet, I think they've let him go on holiday so they can decide on who to take over then sack him while he's in Norway. iirc they did the same to LVG.
I hope you're right, but I think the useless board just told him to take a few days off to gather his thoughts.I've been pessimistic the whole time, I've thought we're stuck with him the whole season but the whole holiday thing makes no sense. You don't go on holiday when your house is on fire and your employees certainly don't let you go on holiday when your house is on fire.
I'd be skeptical of that. We're not the classiest club but I'd think they'd have the decency to let him know in person that he's gone, rather than pretending he's safe and letting him go away with his family to sack him over a phone call.I don't think he's been sacked yet, I think they've let him go on holiday so they can decide on who to take over then sack him while he's in Norway. iirc they did the same to LVG.
Have you seen our board ?That would be a disgrace void of any human decency.
I hope they do it via whatsappI don't think he's been sacked yet, I think they've let him go on holiday so they can decide on who to take over then sack him while he's in Norway. iirc they did the same to LVG.
Edit:
Also I don't believe for one second those reports of 'backing the manager' they did it with every one of our previous managers, only to sack them within a week of the 'backing'.
It wouldn't surprise me if they release these briefs to increase social media activity or some rubbish. Everyone and everything on twitter over the last 2 days has been about #Ole and #MUFC.
Read up on how LVG found out he was getting sacked for Jose immediately after winning a trophyThat would be a disgrace void of any human decency.
Na he will definitely be in charge of Watford, maybe if he looses that he would go, but I suspect it would take bad results against Watford and Villarreal for something to happenI'm sorry, he has to be done. There's no way our club and Ole will go on holiday when there's a full blown crisis going on .
He's gone, expect the announcement soon lads.
The players and staff have a few days off to recouperate. God knows they need it after the shitstorm the past 3 weeksIt's incredibly unlikely he's been sacked this morning, been publicly pictured leaving the country because he's been sacked, and they've not announced it and no one in the media has got wind that he's gone.

Rio knows things he knew the Ronaldo thing, he has a good relationship with Woodward. His connections are at boardroom level rather than in the squad these days. I don’t think him saying something means anything is about to happen, BUT he’s the first high profile ex-teammate of Ole to call for him to leave.And Rio knows nothing, otherwise the Phil Jones affair wouldn't have happened.
