even better if he stated that he would be interested but is put off by the feedback in the caf.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

That's a pretty understandable way of doing things isn't it? Don't think it's anything horrendous. It is the best thing for the club. Much better than sacking him without a replacement in place and having a very public/chaotic manager search like Spurs and Newcastle did.
'The first real blip'. Feck me

Ranieri always comes aa a decent man and a manager.
How would you feel if your employer sacked you and you discovered the decision had been made six months previously and everyone but you knew.
Like I was crap at my job.
Lovely guy, and his record speaks for itself.
Took over Napoli post-Maradona and gave Gianfranco Zola and Daniel Fonseca their debuts.
Took over that Fiorentina with Batistuta and Rui Costa whilst in Serie B, got them promoted and won trophies for the next two years after that.
Took over Valencia and was very successful.
The list goes on
First blip in three years?!! Even Ole has said himself there's been a crisis every season he's been here but he's bounced back from all of them.
Even Ole has said himself there's been a crisis every season he's been here but he's bounced back from all of them.Not great. But hearing "we are going to sack you as soon as we find someone better" wouldn't make me feel any better. I'd probably feel worse if I was told they were planning on sacking me and until then I was expected to give my all in a very high pressure and public job.
Ranieri would have been a great interim coach haha
You know that's actually a great shout.
Thanks for the summary. The reason to why they don't want to sack Ole are comical, guys scared of making a decision and most importantly, no plan in place.
This has all be obvious but it still amazes me how amatuerish our set up is.
Don't buy the propaganda from UTD that they can't find a replacement even an interim one. How many coaches have Chelsea sacked over the years and they were able to get an interim manager. The idea that there isn't a manager out there whose coached or coaching in any of the top European leagues who can take over for the rest of the season is ridiculous. There are other managers out there not named Zidane or Rodgers or Pochettino.
I mean Ragnick was interested.
The fact is they don't want to sack him this season and are biding time hoping a few good results will placate the fans. The brief after Liverpool game was they waiting till international break so they would have time to find a replacement. Now its no one is available. Really there's isn't a coach out there available who is better than Solskjaer who can do a job for 6 months.

Ronaldo likes this idea.
Why wouldn't they want to sack him if he's underperforming?
TalkSPORT were talking earlier like Zidane would be the one if Ole were to go. It’ll certainly be interesting to see what happens, were we to lose to Watford
Big 56 hours today.
I highly doubt we’d lose or draw vs Watford, we’ll win, and it’ll buy him another month.
If we get hammered at home to Arsenal and Ole is still in charge after that it will be very very hard for me to get enthusiastic about this team in its current incarnation.
Maybe the club are working on replacing Ole in the background. But by not sacking him following the dreadful start to the season it sends out the message that they think the performances and results are acceptable or else it shows the club are incompetent and indecisive. It's similar to the criticism of Ole himself and his refusal to drop certain players.
No obvious alternative? There actually were and still are if the club could be bothered to do their research, we just aren't getting them in for reasons I can't understand.
I think Ole is going nowhere anytime soon.

Yeah, Conte was so obvious and he wanted the job. The moment Spurs signed him up it was pretty obvious we weren't sacking Ole unless things get even worse (which is nearly impossible). The board wants to bet everything on Ole for stupid reasons. These leaks to other managers like Rodgers and Poch (and southgate) are intentional to make some fans rethink wanting Ole gone because these replacements aren't the ones they wanted. And it's worked I'd say.
At least you would have got another 6 months of work out of it. And in Ole’s case a massive pay off too. I think that would soften the blow a bit.
Surely they can't be that stupid to think he is going to win the PL or CL.
Wage limit restraint was busted by Keane circa 2000 and from there the PLC began doling out big contracts to key players and new signings.Wouldn't that be the first, if you consider it a bad thing and it would negate the point about Woodward because he came with the Buyout?
Anyway with a bit of perspective post 2005 has been followed by one of the best period of the club history partially because we got rid of the previous PLC's stringent wage limits and built a juggernaut. I would personally argue that losing SAF was the worst thing to happen and anyone following him whether we are talking about executives or coaches were going to struggle because SAF used to work in a very peculiar way.
Will a draw get him the sack straight away? I’ve been seeing reports that he’s gonna be sacked no matter what now after the last few results but it all comes down to wether it’s at the end of the season or before. Also at the end of the season we can weigh up options of who’s available.
If ??? He's underperforming. Plain and simple. Anyone with eyes can see that. Why they won't sack him. I don't know. My guess save money on the compensation and they like having a manager who won't turn on them publicly
Honestly HOW has he worked his arse off? Players barely look coached after three years.
Nothing to do with the ironic cheers he got when he came on against City then
yeah that was a horrendous take. We switch formations and look like we dont actually train at all on how to effectively play whatever random formation of the day ole thinks about.
Chances on Donny saving Ole's job???
What's the chances of DVB starting against Watford?
Nil unless McFred are both injured.
And took ten days off after City match
Ole has the luck of the devil, I swear. It wouldn't surprise me if Donny gets to start and starts putting in Iniesta-tier performances to save his job. Then suddenly - another 3 years contract for Ole and we repeat this whole process again.
Donny must have impressed them by shooting every time he got the ball like his life depended on it.
Wouldn’t be the most unlikely thing — Martial and Pogba kept Mourinho going for quite a while before he was finally sacked.
Zero. He's not very good.
Really ? He could have quit. He would still be rich. I don’t feel sorry at all since he is here for the paycheck. He made a good chunk of money from the club since he is here. If he doesn’t quit it means he is here for the money.
I’ll feel sorry for people treated as garbage every day at work while not in position to quit as the need to feed their families not for some rich guy pretending loving the club while waiting the sack for the money. He just showed he is not really better then José.
