We are playing dogshite. Teams that win trophies generally petform well more often than not. Under performing in the majority of our games tells you where we are heading. There is feck all overreaction.
Of course, and there's absolutely no problem with that. It's the wummy 'in' posters that are the issue. Most Ole-in posters have started to admit that they have doubts, so fair play for that, as it leads to sensible debates.
Oh we were in a terrible place after Jose downed tools; no doubt but after one decent run then finishing the season terribly - OgS has just rinsed & repeated for 3 seasons.
But, progress.
Wholeheartedly agree. You’d think he’d take FC United to the Top 4 the way some talk. It’s been proven countless times of late that ‘the best’ managers can lead a turnaround in less time than this. I’m really loving how the ‘but we’ve improved our league position year on year’ lot are already getting their excuses in because last season was an anomaly - under OgS we will regress in the one thing that we’re throwing in peoples faces last season.
Winning the game in 90 minutes against a team you vastly outstrip in terms of every resource would though. If you think that loss was simply down to DdG not making a save you’re lost. He’s been continually out coached in games that matter, so the answer is ‘Yes’, it’s not just Villareal - all managers lose games in finals, the best ones actually win one or two though. Winning something would make him far more accomplished, we aren’t some underdog.
Yup. Ronaldo is far more important than Manchester United.
It isn't the last 7 games. We finished poorly last season and this run of poor form is continuing into this season.
Another puzzle he has is that he needs to sort this out, but a lot of his players are away on international duty. If he comes up with some plan he does not have much time to work on it.
He keeps beating the 7 game drum with zero context given.
Supporting an underperforming manager - who looks like he won't ever be good enough - because you have no faith in the Board, isn't really very rational.
The poor thing will just have to console himself with his astronomical wages.
I don't think he will be sacked in time to save this season, do you? I think we will have a new manager next season. I am not going to pull my hair out every week over an inept board. The ownership does not care about trophies unfortunately, it is wasted emotions.
Yeah think many of us don't want to see that happen either but under him it's looking inevitable Ronny's career could end up going out under this regime which would be very sad for one of the greatest of all time
First thing he will do : bring Phil Neville back.
I personally wouldn't sack him just yet. But yes, if we pull the trigger, say at the end of November, it's plenty of time to salvage our season, if it's gone to shit. It doesn't mean I'll be defending him if things go tits up, as it'll be gone way beyond that point. I was all for giving him the season, even if we looked a-bit rocky, but now I'm not so sure. If we continue with these performances, we're going to have a very poor run of results and his position will become untenable. But hey, will we act in time? Probably not.
Ironic. I’m fairly sure there was some context to those last 5 games…can’t remember what it was though.
The whole set-up is a joke. Ole and Carrick are in the jobs because they played for us, not because they were the best candidates available. Pointless sentimentality.
Yeah, I'm with you on this. I think there will be plenty more ups and downs this season but we are likely to see our rivals lift silverware in May and not us so I'll try take the good days as they come and try not let the absolute state of the club from top to bottom depress me too much.
What's your point? There's context to everything. You can't simply pick and choose the sample size that fits the narrative. If people want to take a holistic look at his tenure and feel it's not good enough, that's totally fair. Throwing '7 games' at them, is eh, odd...
Weird take. No one, not Ronaldo, not Ole, not Sir Matt and not even Fergie, is bigger than the club. I want Ole gone for this simple maxim and not for any other reasons.
I want everything to be ruined if that means the club will actually win stuffs in an entertaining way again. Ronaldo will retire in 5 year max, Ole will get the sack eventually but I'd still be watching United when I'm 70.
I totally agree. I've never been fully sold on Ole, but one of the reasons I was all for keeping him, was that we were making some form of progress. It really wasn't enough imo, but given I had zero faith the Board would appoint the right man, I was happy enough to keep him, for the time being. If that progress goes out the window, he has to go.
Yeah they aren't going to fear a manager who has a cheery personality after dropping points at home
Yeah and things like that need to get bigger scrutiny in the press but won't due to his mates in the media
Do you even think we work on any of our weaknesses? Slow start every game, starting to play only after conceding, McFred.
That would be the case if he took over last December or the summer just gone.
