I'm sure he was liked by the players and man management is Ole's biggest strength but if he got someone else to be part of his coaching staff after loss in Gdansk perhaps this season would've looked better.

I don't understand why United didn't fire Solskjaer 3weeks ago and hire Conte
Now you missed out big

I wasn’t that keen on Conte, but I’d have him over getting an interim interim (Carrick) then an interim (god knows) and a permanent manager (Poch maybe?) only United can come up with a three phase plan for replacing a manager. We’re a circus.

Single biggest error Ole made was his coaching staff and the inexperience

If we sack Ole and all the coaches today who takes training and who picks the team? Woodward? Joel?
Why? We've got a game in 2 days. What do you think should have happened? Richard Arnold moonlighting as the physio?
Well it goes back to the board being completely clueless doesn’t it. If only there was a world class manager on the market a few weeks ago who could have come in and used the international break to bed in some ideas bringing in his own coaches in the process

These guys are here for the season by the way they aren’t getting fired and a interim getting a whole new coaching setup for 6 months before the lot are replaced again

I'm not anti Scottish, I just wanted Moyes out.

Well that didn't happen and we're here now with no manager. So again, who takes training tomorrow if we sack all the coaches today alongside Ole?

According to reports Ole was offered the chance to bring in more coaching staff and he didn't because he felt the coaches were 'world class' already. Why don't we just wait until a new manager is appointed and who he brings in with him before we get all up in arms about the coaching staff not being gutted 2 days before an important CL game.

Club didn't want him.
my question is why?
He is a pretty sucessful manager
So far he managed to pull out the shit any team he managed and winning trophies
Why they're against him? and you mean the management or the players?
If it's the players how do they know he wouldn't make them better like he did everywherelse?

simple really. Our owners are reactive and slow. They never get in front of a problem. They react when things fall apart. I also seriously doubt they want a fiery one like Conte calling them out for being so laid back/terrible. Falling out would be inevitable. We will never win anything again with those arseholes running us.

My point is aimed at the board I’m not skimming over the colossal feck up they’ve yet again managed to find themselves in. The current staff are the only choice I know that, my point is they should have been out weeks ago, I’ve never known a manager to be fired and his entire coaching team stay on, then again I’ve never known a club to look for an interim manager a quarter of the way through a new season so it’s not a big surprise.

He definitely could have saved his job by demanding that the club give him some better coaches to work with, but he isn't the type of guy to stab his mates in the back. He ultimately just wasn't ruthless or decisive enough, plus I'm sure in the back of his mind he probably figured that better coaches coming in would have exposed him even more for the novice he is.

Reports are he was offered and turned the opportunity down

If that's the case then I would hope that after some reflection he'll realise it was a costly mistake and not make similar errors in his future career. If he sees himself as strictly a manager and not a coach then he needs to surround himself with the best people possible like Fergie did.

its the truth. Since becoming a permanent manager Ole has been a specialist in failure. Our game is unbearable, we barely gave kids a regular first team shot and we spent 415m and won nothing. He'll leave behind a defense that leaks goals left right and centre, around 120m worth of talent set to leave for free and an inexperienced coaching staff that borders to Championship level.

Ole as a player is a legend but as a manager he's a train wreck.

So sad for ole. I am gutted that these players are going scot free while a club legend’s good name has been dragged through the mud. Shame on them. All the best ole. Hope the match going fans guve him the send off he deserves and let the players know of their part in it.

The idea is that he doesn’t fit the ideology of long term planning that the club want to perpetuate. Because they’ve really shown it here.

Hopefully everyone (including Ole) will now be able to recover their mental health a bit.

Ole failed but big clubs do need proven, high class managers?
The 2 most successful appointments in the last 15 years have been Zidane for Real and Guardiola for Barcelona, both legends that were not proven. And only 2 seasons ago Hansi Flick, also not proven, won a triple with Bayern.
Ole was not unproven. He had proved that he was a failure before joining us. No comparison with the then young managers Pep and Zidane.

We don't have anybody lined up.
The board have had their head in the sand while all the bad results have been coming in and the fans were demanding changes.
Now the board made the change, they need 7 months to come up with a plan to change the manager.
Spurs needed just a few days to fire the existing manager and replace him with Conte, a serial winner.
We need 7 months!
Yeah probably true. I forgot there we have a pretty effective PR machine to put a spin on things.

That being said you would hope we did our groundwork the last few weeks and lets say we did line someone up for the summer and hoped to continue with Ole until then but things got past that point. But probably too logical to be true.
