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.

How has he made United relevant? Apart from rivals fans chanting “Ole in”
Whats the meaning of who were are, where did it go, and how did he reinstate it?
Bruno and ddg shedding tears.
Ole walking up to the away end and waiving good bye.
They all knew.
And offering her money to accept you… if she accepts you’re in even more trouble.
Ok, now I got it
It's completely irrelevant though. Reaching SF's with that Ajax side is a success itself, United are supposed to win cups with a squad that is worth 500m+. There is no double standards, there are low standards that some United fans have put..
I have no idea, obviously.
Just pointing out the connection between Castles and Mendes. It's hardly implausible that Mendes/Ronaldo would know something about what goes on.
What do you think? That Castles has a mole on United's board?
Oh I absolutely agree with on both sides of that btw, glad reached the same page.Ok, now I got it

How would they know? It's very unlikely Ole had been told he's getting sacked before the game was played, and then he's gone and told the players that he's getting sacked before sending them out there.
I think the emotion of today was probably an accumulation of poor results leaving everyone feeling helpless.
Phelen gone too.
I'm sure they knew losing 4-1 at Watford was the end of the line for Ole.
I, 4-1, agree with you.
aye, that SF joke completely evaded my mind tbh.Oh I absolutely agree with on both sides of that btw, glad reached the same page.
Either way I doubt we will get Ten Hag at the end either so it becomes a moot point. The guy will end up at Barca, whilst we are courting Rodgers, who is I guess someone that is seen as a lesser risk..
Dont think any of them should survive, hopefully the new manager brings all his own people instead of being saddled with the likes of Carrick and Mckenna.
Based on form the entire squad needs replacing but, if you look past the recent shambles, most of them have shown they are good enough. All teams expect to have to bring in a few new players every year anyway; there was quite a turnover under SAF.
A new manager will strengthen in CM - that is certain - the rest will be knocked into shape, I reckon, we’ll see how far away we are.
Fans being to blame for results, or for anything, is a feeble and generally insupportable notion. But, if it helps, “I hereby demand we return to our former glory”.
That stuff doesn’t help, by the way. The board are sacking him exactly when I thought they would - when performances became an embarrassment to the board personally; when their reputations as business people were threatened. As long as Ole kept winning most of the time, no amount of fan whimpering would trouble the board in the slightest.
Of course, but this is clearly a bit more than that. It seems it is going to be substantiated. There's a little more weight behind this than idle speculation I would suggest whereas musings about his sacking have been going on for weeks, possibly months.
It's anybody's guess as to how that information gets out but whatever it is most of them don't reflect well on the competence of these men to handle business in a decent manner. It's perfectly possible to have these things concluded in private, as many clubs demonstrate.
Not necessarily on United's board, but it must be a source at a high level to get the sort of detailed information he got today.
Realistically the journos who have reported on United for 10+ years like Ducker, Luckhurt, Ogden all have sources high up at United also - however these guys seem to rely a lot on briefs from the club which is why they tend to release the same stories within minutes of each other constantly.
We're getting battered every fecking week, not just losing but getting hammered, and he's trying to make Utd fans feel guilty for wanting change.Top Red Bingo nominee for the Weekend League.
‘Hope you are all happy now’
Amazing.
People really wanted OgS to succeed so the could laud their blind faith over people. It’s actually hilarious how emotional people have become for a manager that has presided over our relegation form.
He was a nice guy. So I guess players have a lot of respect for him.

Very unlikely. But imagine if he hasn’t been sacked and Castles and Romano were wrong.
Yep - and Castles certainly hasn't been in that category: very much anti-United ever since Mourinho left, etc. Not the sort who'd get briefed by Woody.
Unbelievable the extent to which some will go to feel superior to fellow fansTop Red Bingo nominee for the Weekend League.

So Fletcher will take charge against Villareal apparently.
Couldn’t agree more.
You and that guy can’t answer this
What’s the meaning of who United are, how did they lose it and how did Ole reinstate it?
I’d quite like the answer to this aswell. . .
I'd like to hear how we became relevant again.
Don’t get how Watford was the game changer. Yet again club missed the boat, would have had 2 weeks to sort out replacements. Now we have a short window to Villarreal.
Club is a joke. Reactive rather than proactive.
Wish Ole the best. Gave 150% to the role. Was just too tough a task and he hit his ceiling. Not many can take on this job. It’s not a celebration to see him go, his time has come, with sadness we see him go - but his legacy will never change on the pitch and also the decent cleanup job he done post Jose. But the worry was always there after the EL final - club fecked him over letting him sink.

Asked that also no answer… unless if he meant rival fans chanting olein
I agree.
The emotion is fully understandable. They’ve played so bad for so long; they don’t know why; they didn’t want to let the club or specifically the manager down. It’s frustration, guilt, sorrow. They knew, as most of us did, that Ole could not survive today’s defeat after the current poor run; I mean it was obvious, I thought, while it was happening.
I thought I would be relieved, but now that the deed is done, I feel profoundly sad. No matter how many new fans don't rate him or have never seen him play, he is still a United man.

Never seen so many fans united at keeping our manager at helm. It has become a running chant at various fields for a months now.
Most logical post.
He means the god son fletcher.
Ole truly 'United' football. All that aside, it is sad that a club legend has seen such an end. The board should take its time and select the right successor.
He knows all - and I can’t stress this enough: ALL - the iPad’s features and shortcuts.
Might keep him just in case to fill some holes in our midfield. He's not that less mobile than Matic currently.
