Football planning is a foreign concept for Woodward and the Glazers. If they're all proactive and not reactive, at the very least, they wouldn't have renewed Ole and Phelan as the latest. That's before mentioning the trail of failure created by their reactive approach.

You rate Ole higher than Moyes? Wow.
How many times are you going to go into different threads and post tweets from many many hours ago?
Yes, what is this rubbish about Watford? We lose and that's it! But if we win everything is all good and well?
If he's lost the players there's literally no way that's true. It's hard to replace a while team of players compared to just one manager (and ole has shown he doesn't trust youth). If we are going to use our first team to try to not have a disastrous season the only choice is to replace the manager.
So in hours they sacked vg and bought Mourinho in, this is after he claimed he had been scouting players for us since the January. Someone's telling porkies
Im just quoting what he said.
Isn't that the job of John Murtaugh and Darren Fletcher, to show the risk/benefits of different paths forward?
Then of course, they wouldn’t be able to sack Solskjaer because the replacement won’t have time to get up to speed. So Solskjaer gets another few more games to “turn things around”. Rinse and repeat.
Fat man to the rescue

Grasping at straws but I’ll take it
'Easier' - but I don't expect feck all from them. I think he'll be gone by mid-to-late December.
You do know, we can appoint an interim before deciding on a long term manager. Ole literally came in with that role. We weren't the first to do this and won't be the last to appoint an interim, even if it's not ideal but clearly keeping Ole in charge is not optimal either.
In theory this is why we have the football people in place, to ensure that a change in manager doesn’t result in a complete change in direction or that a single manager cannot tear the whole house down. But of course the questions are whether the football people we have are competent, and whether they have actual decision-making authority.
So Richard Arnold our new manager in December? What type of nonsense is this.
Of course they can afford to do that because the job isn't difficult. Fletcher's role is to sell the club to prospective new recruits from the first team all the way down to the most promising youth players and their parents. We also have a structure in place with vast experience supporting him from Marcel Bout, Henny de Regt, Jim Lawlor, Mick Court etc who have vast experience either under our most successful manager Fergie or at Ajax and Bayern. And Fletcher thus far has done fine unless you can provide evidence of his inexperience affecting whilst doing his job which I've described above.
I don't understand why they want to be in charge of footballing matters so much. It'd clear they suck at it, why not just hire competent people to do it and take whatever money it costs to do so away from the transfer budget. Surely being run efficiently is worth it
Yeah agreed. It's the bolded part that worries me. I have yet to see many tangible illustrations of real decision making from the football people at the club.
Ronaldo when he left got us a world record fee (even though it was still bargain of the century), Pogba left us on a free, cost us a world record fee, and is about to leave on a free again.Ronaldo had maybe our best team of all time, Pogba for the majority of his time here has had our worst squad for the last 30 years. Ronaldo's been here for 2 months now and there's already reports of him wanting to go in the summer.
But for Ronaldo it's standards, for Pogba it's he's a snake.
Personally I think both are wrong, I'm just showing you the double standards.
So they literally have no plan - truly clueless or they just don't care. There are plenty of people on here who could come up with reasonable suggestions as to which direction to take. Why can't they?
It's the Glazers and Woodward's greatest move.
Yes he did, whoever is in charge of our transfers didn't sell Pogba, when it's been clear for some time he should be sold. That isn't the fault of Pogba but of the club. Even Jesse's probably leaving on a free and I'm sure he cares more about the club than both of them, he's only been here since he was 7.
Mate, if Ole had lost the players he would be gone by now. He isn’t. And there isn’t a single reliable quote out there he has. It’s all wishful thinking and selfishly agenda and opinions. They are not playing for him, that I will agree on. As to why, we don’t know. They are not preforming for the club or fan’s either.
Exactly, why not let professionals do the job, it'll make them more money than have amateurs dabble with it
Thought our last three games were his last chance? We are a joke and obviously have no idea what to do which is why the fans are put off with this nonsense game after game after game.
It would have been if Ole was at least a competent enough manager to keep the club in the top four.
I said it when he was permanently appointed - he's a yes man.
Yeah, we have a lot of favourable fixtures at home after that. The only problem is we haven't kept a clean sheet at home in the league since March.
