Either way, nothing gets solved. I'd say it's the opposite though. We sack Ole and you're all appeased for a while, so there's less pressure and Woodward hate until the shiny new manager starts failing. Then the cycle begins again.

If the new competent CEO wants to sack Ole then great, go for it. In all likelihood he's not good enough, but what's the point in the current state of the club?
The owners aren't going anywhere and in all liklihood neither is Woody. Given we're constrained by that we need the best manager possible rather than just moaning about the constraints. It's like teams of midtable clubs moaning that there's no point switching manager until they're bought out.

No it's like a man who's had his feet go gangrenous complaining his shoes don't fit. The reason he can't walk is not what he thinks, even if it might be true.

Ole has got it right against the better teams usually...yesterday was awful. Anybody have a shot of the pitch and our team spread out from our own box to Spurs box...terrible tactics and no way we should be leaving that kind of space.
They figured out how to play him by the end of last season and we haven't done well against any decent team after that.

If today isn't proving that there's bigger problems at the club than Ole then you may as well give up on football. Ole could easily be replaced with a better more experienced coach but we've been down that road and it always ends up in the same place.

Get rid of Woodward (and the Glazers if we're lucky) and then we look at a manager. Until at least Woodward has gone......Ole in all the way for me. Even if we're 12th in the table.

We had the best manager possible in Mourinho and it got us nowhere. A couple minor trophies sure, but Ole wasn't far away from that either. No manager in the world will take us back to the top until something big changes.
