If Fletcher is getting the interim, then that means the whole coaching team is surviving this as well :houllier:
What do you expect us to do? Sack everyone and have no coaching staff until we sign a new manager??

Either way, I don’t think Fletcher is even a “coach”

Why on earth would they sack the coaching staff along with Ole?
They wouldn't, nor would it make sense.

What would be utterly stupid (and yet unsurprising) is the board still decide to give Carrick and McKenna those new contracts, knowing full well the next manager may want nothing to do with them.

Sure, but that's for the new manager to decide.

Whoever that may be.

What had Ryan Mason done? Or that Newcastle coach who took over after Bruce? This happens at every club every time the manager gets sacked until a permanent replacement is found.
I don't have an issue if it's a game or 2, but anything more requires a coach with experience.

This shows they really didn't have a plan in place. I would have liked Rangnick in place during the international so he could have gotten a few days to train the players. This just shows how clueless this board is

They’d be great with the under 18s, keep them
And put them there for about 10 years before they’re ready to coach the best.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.

We have no idea yet. They can’t let it be known they’ve agreed a deal with someone else before they’ve sacked Ole. Someone may have been lined up - Fletcher taking charge for a few days doesn’t change that. If castles is right and they’ve been sounding out Zidane the last few weeks and they’ve convinced him then the board have acted competently for the first time in quite a while.

Blanc or Rangnick interim. Ten Hag in the summer.

Or Zidane now.

I don't care, any of the above is fine.


Anything but Brenton.

We're on the same wavelength, wouldn't mind Zidane with a mutual understanding he'll leave to manage France in 18 months and get a pre contract agreement with Ten Hag for afterwards.

Luckhurst fecked up with United and was thrown under the bus by the club. Seems clear he’s on some revenge mission or just tries bs because he lost contact with the club

Because we are Manchester United and should have the pull over a part time job.

The world Cup is over a year away.
Has a shot of winning the world cup. He isnt going to sign for United

Hope you are all happy now. Personally, I’ve absolutely loved his time as manager (except the last 2 months) I hope now he’s gone everyone can give him the credit he deserves, making us relevant again, reinstating the actual meaning of who we are. A lot of you don’t seem to get that. Sad day for us all even though most won’t see it.

They’ll never be happy, they live in football manager world where Potter, Tan Hag and Rodgers all are willing to leave their jobs this weekend to sign for United.

As most of us have said for months now, it makes way more sense to go interim until the end of the season and assess our options. Anything else is a panic appointment if the right manager isn’t available, look at Spurs.
It was months ago that you were still trying to contend Ole was the right man. Nice try though.

He was a keen drinker, but an alcoholic is quite a different thing.
Him, Whiteside and McGrath used to drink before games let alone after them.

That's a drinking problem however you wanna phrase it.

But anyhow, Robson was notorious for drinking culture's at his clubs, even when he was a manager.

Great player, bad advice however to our current squad.

:lol: what sort of nonsense is this... Does he think our board meetings go something like this

"You know I hear Ronaldo is unhappy, anything we could do to cheer him up a bit?""
"How about we leak a fake story to the Sunday Times that we're after Zidane, even though we're not. That will appease him for a good while, you know he always reads the Sunday Times. And then we'll appoint Brendan Rodgers."
"Sounds like a plan!"

How many fecking high horses do you have? You've fallen off so many of them, including the greedy Super League, and yet you still manage to come up with another one time and time again.

It's almost as impressive as Ole's ability to survive failure after failure.
