Of course it’s true, Ole & Phelan was obviously his idea so he’s desperately hoping they pull through so that he doesn’t have another Moyes failure appointment on his hands.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Make the right decision for once Joel and overrule these 2 clowns.
It may well be that Conte has already agreed to the job but that he’s not taking the helm until after he’s completed wrapping up his personal affairs over the next few weeks. I would have hoped Conte, who’s not my first pick but the best option that’s available, would parachute into Carrington on Wednesday but that’s not very realistic, is it?
Looks like Glazers are indeed in charge of some key football matters.
Their next decisions could be key for the next 3 to 5 years... while it should be for next 10 to 15.

it’s not the first time since Ferguson left I’ve seen a daft remark like that.
Anyone see Romano apparently post a video saying Ole has been sacked and then quickly delete, apparently recorded it in case it happens and wanted to be first to declare it.
Should tell you everything you need to know about that chancer.

I really don't want Conte 
We are in a real pickle aren't we. This is what happens when you are a reactive club than a proactive one.
Poch and Tuchel were available last year, the decision should have been made then.
Now we are here where there is only one option which in 3 years time might look like a bad decision again.
Same old United, never learning from mistakes.

I love Fergie to bits but we need to move on as a club. All this nostalgia is doing nothing but damage the club at this point.
When Fergie was up against it, and youngsters, you better believe he was, I don’t think he’d have allowed his mentor and confident (he was) Sir Matt, to speak to the players on his behalf. It’s like an episode of SUCCESSION now…
It doesn't feel right does it. I was even second guessing myself whilst I was posting it heh.
Hopefully it would be something like that, or maybe the alleged 3 games so that the replacement has an easier programme
There seems to be a lot of Gary Neville syndrome where nobody wants to put the ice pick into the lovable little nordic smurf and club legend. Let the evil Glazer dude deliver the killer blow from Florida. But the absentee landlord is likely to leave it a while since he doesn't feel the results except as numbers on a screen.
Zidane doesnt want to be here.
Again, I'm struggling to find alternatives here. Saying you want to stick with Ole till end of season, and sacrificing a whole year is CRAZY to me. Everybody will be a year older, many big players might even want to leave. We have a squad that can win titles, we should not waste that, chances like this dont come often. There is zero reason to sabotage a season, just to wait for this mythical attacking manager who will get us instant success and wants to come here. Unless someone can suggest a name who is a great fit for us next season I say we give Conte a go for this season and next.
For all the talk of Conte's style of play, Tuchel is not much different, and he is talked about like a God here.
The day people realise that these old guys don’t want United being as successful as they left it. Is hopefully the day we try to exclude them from input.
Joe Kinnear is still around I thinkHarry Redknapp as interim.
Who is Ole’s line manager? Like, who does his performance reviews?
I want to speak to the manager.
This past 48 hours has been a bit of a blur let me try to get my head round it
Sunday
Man Utd lose 5-0 at home to their big rivals. Fans boo and a good chunk walk out during the match
Defeat means Utd have taken 1 point from 12 and havent kept a clean sheet now for 20+ matches
Utd currently sit 7th in the league 8 points off the top
Monday
Rumors that Ole will be fired begin to surface
Leaks from the dressing room that a lot of players are not happy with his team selections, tactics
Sky Italy report Utd have approached Conte
Tuesday
Ed Woodward and Richard Arnold leak to the British Press that they are behind Ole
SAF turns up at Carrington to declare to the Utd squad that their job right now is to 'stand by your manager'
News that Pogba wants to stay at Utd, but wont if Ole remains
Wow

There's a big elephant in the room here and his name is Sir Alex Ferguson.
You make it sound like he took only our scraps and deadwood to win the league, yet they spent £70m on taking Lukaku from us and spent an extra £200m on top of that.
It’s not a good look for the owners or Utd is it, at all…
It’s as if normal football club behaviour is somehow not permitted at Utd.
You also have to factor in which players may potentially leave if Ole remains. For certain Pogba and DVB will go, likely Lingard and Henderson also.
Probably feels guilty for forcing a 37 year old through the door, hes had his part to play imo
I’d get John Carver on the phone.
My point is he won the league with three of our scraps being first teamers and actively involved in winning the league. Shows he's able to get something out of players that no one thinks are good enough. It's a quality that should be appreciated in a manager.
Yeah because Ole was against signing Ronaldo.
Poch would be ideal - he actually improves players.
OK Karen
Just sign Ten Hag for next season and take Eddie Howe as interim until then. Simples
Only three big clubs would accept this shit for as long as we have.
United, Barcelona and Arsenal.
Look at the state of all three of those clubs.

In his line speed is key. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
Come on. The owners don't give a feck what he thinks. And we do not know what he thinks either. I think this is the result of putting all your eggs in one basket, no contingency plan, all the talk of a long-term vision was based on the hope that Ole would turn into SAF which is utterly devoid of rational thought, buying some time in the process in getting the fans complacent.
Seems the structure is just a facade if the decision makers on footballing matters are Woodward, Arnold, and Joel Glazer.
Hopefully the protests will begin again, we cannot have these twats undermining every aspect of the club longer.
Conte is available. I would take him for this and next season at least.
Ole playing Maguire against Leicester when he should not even have been on the bench was the final straw for me.
And the joke is he is captain. He is bang average. I would take Axel over him any day.
Letting VdB rot. Ole is clueless.
The more I think about this the angrier I get.
Time to log off.

Eddie Howe isn't a bad shout, perhaps with an older mentor assisting ? Or theres that Kevin Keegan guy!
Not even Arteta has had Arsenal suffer humiliation like we had on Sunday.
People need to relax. Anyone that has read my posts on this forum knows I want Ole gone as much as the next guy. But unless you want Fletcher or Carrick managing us for the next couple of weeks, there's not point making that decision now.
Get a replacement lined up then fire him.
Get a replacement lined up then fire him.
You talk as if Conte is the difference between this squad winning titles or not. My point is categorically that Conte will not win titles with this squad, and we'll have wasted another 2-3 years due to yet another misinformed managerial appointment.
This is simply a case of wanting anyone but Ole, and anyone is currently Conte.
Not against, but not for, as if Oles strong enough to say no to "the boss"... just be your own man and admit you'd rather have kept JamesYeah because Ole was against signing Ronaldo.
You know it's bad when opposition fans start chanting "Oles at the wheel!!!" all over the internet in mockery of the decision to keep him on.
They're loving it.
