None,stopped caring.
I don't know how fans can be so demanding of a minimum position in the table. There are at least 6 teams competing for 4 places. Some years you will most likely miss out. Especially while rebuilding.Seriously you cant sack him if he fails to get top 4, most people want a massive cull of players out.
It is totally nonsensical. If you have Ole on a 3 year contract he should be given at least 2 of them to try and make a go of it. There is a clear pattern of hiring and firing going on since Fergie. Ole will need 2 windows just to get all the players out he wants out.I don't know how fans can be so demanding of a minimum position in the table. There are at least 6 teams competing for 4 places.

Same for me if we have a relatively quiet summer.Top 4 with an established style of play is the minimum expectation.
Agreed. Getting rid of deadwood is far more important than signings, as the youth can fill the gap. Results like top 4 or cups would be nice, but I'd rather see proof that the club is moving in the right direction. And hey, team rebuilds can be exciting if done right.Same for me if we have a relatively quiet summer.
If Ole gets rid of a host of players in the summer and puts more faith in youth, top 4 won't be that important IMV. We need a culture change. That's a long-term project.
How many more chances and how convinced are you he is world class material?A top 4 finish should be the target. Dont put pressure to win it, we wont!! We need time, ole needs time, stick by our manager for a change.
What do i expect? More of greenwood, tanzebe, mctominay. Why not? What ever happened to promoting players from our academy. Give rashford his chance to establish himself as a world class player. Get rid of poor performers. Get rid of players who want to leave, pit faith in players who would relish the opportunity of playing for united, players who’d give it their best week in week out. That’ls what id expect.
Mou was here for 2 years where he spent 400m on tripe. The expectations were of course higher.Interesting how much our standards have fallen that people are expecting us to finish outside top 4 and are fine with that. So did Jose do a miracle last season by finishing 2nd with this team then? Even if Liverpool are stronger now, the other teams below them are not. And even with our dreadful run, we're still 3rd on table since Ole took over. In terms of results, top 4 should pretty much be a minimum expectation for any manager here. So much talk about the 'united way' and then settling for 6th does not make sense to me.
Honours meaning PL and CL.A good Job means:-
If Ole can rid the club of Deadwood,
Generate a long term plan for the football needs, ( including transfer dealings)
Sort out the wages mess, and the trouble it is causing,
Get us up challenging for honours again.
Then he will have done his Job well.
What is rashford? Is he a right winger? Left winger? Striker? Fair chance is a good run in his preferred position as a striker. He has performed well when played there when Ole took over. Don’t just write rashford off mate, he’s 21 and will only improveHow many more chances and how convinced are you he is world class material?
Wow, feel your pain bro but it's not going to be that bad, the Europa League is becoming increasingly easier for English EPL teams to win since the CL spot was given. Our wage bill is €270M per year even with the 25% reduction, this alone would probably dwarf the other 3 teams in our Europa Group league combined. I think EPL will start well then Fall away and we might be 4th with great investmentsthis summer, can see us wining LC, early knock out in FA CUP and trying to win Europa League again.It's going to be about the same as this season, or worse.? Players we got are at best top 6 or lower, all depends on the recruitment and development in summer.
A decent cup run may be on cards, because Utd have always respected it. I have more question than answers at present so do the club and Staff.
6th again , FA cup Quarters ? League cup out straight away, Europa league Group stages. Hope its better
It's the same squad though? Unless we're saying a manager cannot perform unless he buys his own players which is not how any other top clubs work and in which case we're in massive trouble. It's important to be realistic but settling for top 6 is a defeatist attitude and isn't the way forward either.Mou was here for 2 years where he spent 400m on tripe.

Give Ole 400m and 2 years to sort this crap and we'll expect him to be top 4 as well.
Its really a shit squad who don't deserve to be anywhere near to top 4. Now if someone spent 400m to assemble that tripe then he must bring in results. However you can't just expect a new manager to just waltz in and turn these squad of donkeys into world beaters.It's the same squad though?

Fully agree. Anyone who thinks otherwise just has an agendaI don't know how fans can be so demanding of a minimum position in the table. There are at least 6 teams competing for 4 places. Some years you will most likely miss out. Especially while rebuilding.
