I only want a caretaker manager if there is no chance they will be given the job full time if they do well this time.
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?

We are built! We need someone who can actually get a team full of talent playing.
please stop this way thinking about hiring ex players as managers.
it’s this nostalgic crap that has got us into this current situation.
No he put in the foundations of a high press which let Tuchel come in and star. That's exactly what we need. Better than Carrick.
We just aren't.
Literally, the only manager who could be made fun of more than Ole.
Haven't we had enough doing this to our former players?
We have a massive giant gaping hole in the centre of the team
The Sun reporting he's gone.
Any other reports?
Any other reports?
Interviewer: 'So, you've been linked with the United job Micah - any truth in this?'
Micah: HahHhahahHhahahahHhaha *claps hands*
That's just the start of our problems.
Only until end of the season.
My hope still is ten Hag.
Hope the board does not panic and go for Rodgers now.
Or temporary caretaker manager.
In 2018, the plan was to replace Ole at season's end with Pochettino. The same way we replaced Giggs as caretaker with LvG 4 seasons earlier. Solksjaer was never supposed to be the permanent manager. But fair play to him, he steadied the ship for a couple of seasons, rebuilt the squad with serial winners, bought plenty of youth to carry us forward, got us consecutive top 4 finishes for the first time since Fergie, and raised the standards to the point where the fans are expecting this team to be challenging for the title. Ole's failing is that he's simply not been good enough to take that final step.
This season, he's underperforming on last year despite having better players. So the problem isn't that he's totally clueless - because he's already proven he can get worse players into the top 2. It's that he lacks the charisma to motivate Champions League level players in the way he previously motivated Top Four level players.
Unlike Moyes, LvG and Mourinho, Ole is going to leave Manchester United in a better state than he found it. Not bad for a "legend".

Is the meeting over yet? At any other club it would be a very short meeting and a very swift decision.
Red Nightmares.
He's gone I reckon.
They are probably wording the media brief now.
Sad day in a way but very much needed

Even if it has we won’t find out for a while I wouldn’t think
If we are too get a intern for the season make sure we have someone in the summer and no matter how the intern does don’t keep him on
Fat Sam until season's end, then get Poch.
Bloody awkward that isn't it with it being an away game if that's how it's gone down.
Ole's phone rings and everybody starts whispering. Then if he has said goodbyes he has to sit on the coach/bus with them on the way back and nobody knowing what to say to him. Would be easier for him to announce it nearer home or as the train is pulling in I'd have thought. "Right lads, I'm off for good, see ya".
Unless his phone didn't actually go. For all we know he could have been told that if he loses today he was out before the match.
meh a proper manager could get it figured out. Takes balls to rotate properly. Some games couldve had a trio of matic/pogba/vdb in a 4-3-3 and probably done well. Instead it has always been 4-2-4 and then we get swamped in the middle. Key is you limit the time of having a midfield that cant pass worth shit. So stop playing mctominay every damn game. Could easily have rotated bruno a bit thru this horrible spell and gone with the trio i listed and gotten some pretty good results.
Ed still trying to work the audio
He spent half a fecking billion dollars. A monkey could have improved the squad with that money. Mentality wise of course we are worse than under any other manager.
It's done
Says who
Nonsense. On both counts.
Just wonder whether they'll break the news tonight or not.
Did LVG really leave the team in a worse state than Moyes left it?
It's not. But I've seen your posts and you seem one of the most delusional ones on here when it comes to Ole
Probably tomorrow. Depending on who comes in
Yeah he's full of it. He has some limited connections with agents, but mostly he's just a really good aggregator that's very knowledgeable and knows the football world well enough to predict the flow of it. He must work like a dog.
Basically whenever he says something I take it as the most likely thing to happen based on all the public info out there.
The Sun are reporting it; but it is The Sun.....
I dont think they will announce it today, they will allow Ole grace period to say his goodbyes before confirming it
News he gets a severence of £7.5m
I would take Rodgers, cringey knob but an excellent coach.
Carrick in interim. Expected to help transition to new manager, however, goes on a run of games in which he goes lossless and picks up win after win, only for the board to offer Carrick the job on a permanent basis.
In reality Carrick or Fletch will take over for Villareal & then new manager for Chelsea
We’d probably steam roll Villareal too

Didn't they say he'd done that post game?
this looks the most likely
Zzzzzz
