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.

This season is fecked
Almost as good a wum as your transfer tweets.
That's not progress, that's just doing the same thing as last year and getting slightly better results. It would also be a waste of the much better resources in the team now
Pure comedy.
I preferred it when you posted League 2 transfer tweets.
Ole will never win a trophy without having the best squad in the competition by far and even then it's doubtful as we've seen the last two years in the EL.
The only cup we're winning is maybe the FA Cup and it's another slugfest for top 4.
That is not progress.
We need to start competing for the Premier League.
'United are still thiking whether sacking or not'
Can't he use a spell checker?
Doesn't have to be. We know at this point Ole almost certainly won't be able to get us up another level, won't give us a playing identity, and can't take on + beat the best teams regularly. So the longer we take now to make the inevitable move, the more time we waste. But that's the Glazers MO so for now we cling to the hope they're afraid of losing more money or bad PR
Quite funny how quickly things went disastrous coming off of that summer window where most people were buzzing with optimism. We finally got Sancho who most of us had been wanting ever since his first Dortmund season. Then out of the blue we sign Varane. At this point it was like a dream and then out of nowhere we sign Ronaldo.
I still can't believe this is happening regardless of my thoughts on Ole.

There were plenty of people saying from the off that we were fecked without a defensive midfield better than McFred. As soon as McT went in for surgery we were superfecked. Then all the teams started targetting Fred as our weak spot and we were superduper fecked. Then Ole started playing Pogba as a DM and well....y'know.
I wouldn't mind waiting until the end of the season if it meant we could get Ten Hag.
Of course. Total football
Tbf, the hierarchy likely feed them that delusion.
This was my hope at the beginning of the season but I fear Olly’s goose is cooked.
Didn't he already win in 2017 against such overwhelming competition, Pep and Klopp ?
Yeah, not getting a CM during his entire 3 years here has been a disastrous call but even so with the players we brought in it's quite remarkable we now find ourselves in this position. Getting in players like Sancho, Varane, and CR7 should lift the team spirit and give us a boost but instead it had the opposite effect and we have become even worse. Even if we got a CM it would have made no impact. The coaching is atrocious.
I’d like to think that no one still seriously believes a DM will make everything great.
We're working hard by participating in this so the season isn't fecked
Excellent point, goes back to the whole thing about him having no real cohesive plan for anything and just "vibes".
One or two really good DMs would actually make us hard to beat. We still wouldn't be as good as the top three given they have that coaching/strategy thing going on as well. But at least we would have the basics in place.
Ye na, he's done, the games aren't getting easier, the pressure isn't getting any lower and I don't see where he can turn this around.
I'm actually pleasantly surprised though tbh. I was so sure we would just panic and get Zidane or Conte in. Quite refreshing that they are just waiting to see as their idea of the next manager isn't currently available. Could just be a PR spin, of course, but if true, I'm happy with that approach. It will be extremely hard to win any major silverware this season anyway, bed your time, wait until the guy you want is available. We are only in this position cause we've constantly just panicked and got managers out of jobs etc.
We could get a caretaker in.
I don't think Ole should survive arguably our most embarrassing result/performance ever. Heads need to roll.
As long as they don't hire that interim on a full time basis at the end of the season especially if it's an ex legend/player.
Also sounds well, but I worry the Glazers are fixated on Poch and waiting to see how he does at PSG.
It looks like it. But I’ve got a feeling, he survives a few weeks United dithering and once the hard fixtures are over any uplift by beating a few crappy teams in a row will be “‘Marketed” as Ole is steering the ship back in the right direction.
Yeah it’s positive signs for me at least at this point.
Chelsea fans said the same thing towards the end of Lampards tenure
Keano is correct answer
By who? Really it’s just Italian journos linking the one Italian out of a job to the biggest job in football that they think will be available
Your safe space thread in the GF misses you
I think its a worry Ole is still the manager and that that the first manager we've been linked to replace him is Conte
I watched from the window. @VP89 was about as useful as Maguire at the weekend.
Oh stop being silly
Surely that requires some AI to fix it, not a mere spell checker
Liverpool should have taken the same approach when it came to sacking Hodgson and then Dalglish.. btw Dalglish is a much bigger legend for Liverpool than Ole is for United.
