Emergency Board Meeting called to discuss the future of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
- Thread starter Amadaeus
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

If we were brutally ruthless he should have gone after the cup final last season.
Losing at home to Villa was when plenty of other big clubs would have got rid.
How he managed to cling on for another 4 or 5 weeks after the Liverpool defeat is something that will baffle me forever, I think 9/10 of clubs in any country in any division would have sacked their manager after losing 5-0 at home to their biggest rivals.

What the feck? Do you actually know why OGS got the United job?
It clearly says he is another option then they full stop and then say alternatively an interim option could be made.
Blanc's name has been thrown in before, he's a default option for lazy journos by now. So I wouldn't treat him as a realistic option until there's some actual meat on the bone.
But, theoretically, he'd be an interesting interim candidate.
The key has to be that interim means interim this time, though.

That's my point. It's not like Ten Hag should be considered a "risk", when we appoint an interim who went through a purple patch after being appointed as interim.
Ten Hag is a quality manager and has proven it in the past.
I just think of his horrendous spell at Real Madrid.
Barcelona are currently closer to the top of their league than we are 
Get Poch. If the rumours are truem he's not that thrilled with life at
Joel approved it then. Last I read, it wasn't finalized but recommended.
He really isn't a risk. His Champions League record is fantastic and outshines a number of Managers. Zero risk as far as i'm concerned, he's a quality Manager.
Tbf it was always going to be a problem replacing Zidane and Ronaldo, also, the way he left the Spain national team in disgrace, was a rough year for him.
Which is why he was really emotional when he knocked us out of the Europa and when he beat Conte in the final. I would prefer Ten Hag or Zidane, but I'd rather Lopetegui than Brendan.
Rather have a failed Madrid manager than a failed Scouse one.
Perhaps it’s not Ole at fault. It’s others around him.
The thing is if we’d sacked him when we should’ve after the Liverpool game then we could’ve potentially still been in the title race but instead this board fecking dither about for far too long as usual.Barcelona are currently closer to the top of their league than we are
Ole got the job after a decent run as caretaker, his CV wasn't far different from Ten Hag who has also managed and had joy in a mickey mouse league.
Lopetegui would be ace. Don't see it happening unfortunately.
Frustrating. Inevitable was stupidly delayed. We could’ve had Conte. Now we’re talking about terrible options as an interim.
IMO we should be going for Enrique.I reckon it’s easier getting a national team manager than a club manager in the middle of a season (assuming Zidane isn’t interested).

Huge risk, he's managed a team in Holland ffs.
Didn't know the Champions League was a mickey mouse league, considering that was the season when he made his name?
Ten Hag was 5 mins from a UCL final with an Ajax squad that cost a fraction of what Ole spent.
Ole spent 450 million and still hasn't successfully navigated through a group stage.
Conte would have been terrible, little Mourinho.
He fecking choked!

Is he first to report this? If so and he's correct I promise not to call him a bullshitter for a week.
Ten Hag's team was fantastic, he didn't get t the final.
Aye, he can take back up his role at Central Coast fecking Mariners.
He as usual covered all bases, technically he said 'Mike Phelan is ready to leave with Ole'.
Romano just rehashes every other journalist and then does a live podcast taking bits from every one of them. He talks so much shit.
Seriously? His Ajax team eliminated Real and Juve on the way.. His Ajax is also currently top of the table in CL.. He's on a fringe of the budget all those rival teams he's facing in CL are..
What else would you call giving up a 3-1 aggregate lead to Spurs with 40 minutes to go?
Meanwhile Ole has won CL with us with 450m spend am i right ? That poster has the nerve to compare Ten Hag CV to Ole’s. Ole as a manager does not deserve to tie Ten Hag shoelace.
His 4 attacking players consisted of:
Tadic ex Southampton
Ziyech can hardly get a game for Chelsea
DVB can hardly get a game for the manager you are comparing him to
Dolberg Currently benched for Nice in favour of a 20 year old.
Guess it was fantastic.
Blanc would be my choice out of those.
His defensive sensibilities would be perfect for solving our current problems (something Rodgers wouldn't be capable of).
And his stature in the game would be the good fit for our dressing room full of massive egos (something Moyes couldn't handle despite being a decent manager in his own right).
Rangnick and Lopetegui are probably superior managers overall. But the former's high pressing wouldn't work with our veteran striking options, and the latter's failure at Real would make him a big risk with his reputation potentially coming before him with Ronaldo and Varane already in the squad.
No point arguing with that guy. He thinks winning trophies with MSN means Enrique is some kind of wizard but Ten Haag doing wonders with his Ajax team when they get 10-20m from TV rights from their league a year means nothing.
Another one, making a failed EPL striker to become the current CL top scorer.
Just signed an extension at the start of October. Our board are jokers.
No international manager is leaving with a World Cup in 12 months
Seriously yes, he choked. Can you not remember the game?
Tbf to him Enrique is a brilliant shout, however, there's no way he's leaving Spain before the world cup.
I mean a bit harsh to say the manager choked, not like he ran onto the pitch and made a massive mistake.
What about the rest of the team?
