Seriously having no manager for the next 3 games would be better than keeping Ole on.

I thought I would never say this but Fergie is now hurting the club directly.
Maybe Fergie will take over for the next 3 games

So we're going to be playing kick the can for the next few weeks.

This club is an absolute fecking joke. Almost a carbon copy of the Mourinho situation a few years back.

Leak to the press that the manager is getting sacked, change your mind and then do it anyway two months later, once the season is pretty much a complete write-off.

I wonder how it's gonna end this time? Just fecking clueless, the lot of them.

Test Leicester's resolve with Rodgers!

Let Ole go peacefully. Next two weeks are going to be unbearably toxic. Just going to destroy whatever goodwill is left. Also we are asking to be hammered by everyone who we will play.

Honestly, if our options are limited to just Conte or to keep on Ole until a good replacement (Ten Haag) is identified and agreed with, I see the latter as the lesser of two evils.

Of course that depends on whether or not Ole still have the trust of the squad. If he doesn't then litteraly anyone else with a coaching badge would be a better option.
Completely agree. Conte is another sticking plaster on a now necrotic wound that has been left to fester. Conte would definatly be an upgrade on Ole but does he really play the type of football we want? I'd rather wait and get a proper fit than give someone who isn't only in 2-3 years time to end up in exactly the same situation.

Dude I am sick of this. Constant idiotic moves by the club. They will stick with him until we can’t win a single trophy this year, then eventually sack him. This is a joke. I work in finance, if I made decisions like this I would never get a job on wall street again in my life. Its not just an Ole problem, the club is run by absolute morons. I give up.

Will be holding a “F*ck the Glazers” sign when I travel to England for the Brighton game in December. Useless c*nts.

Sack him now. Get someone in, and lets bring some positivity back around the club. But no, we’re giving him more time. When has a manager ever worked if he’s lost the dressing room? Shambolic.

:lol: so we win the next 3 games and he stays? Unbelievable especially after yesterday
How the feck can you run a club like that, man. Having a sword hanging over a manager and assessing him on a game-by-game basis over the course of three games... :lol:

Feck off. You can't seriously do that. It's not fair on the players, the fans, and it's certainly not fair on Ole. When you've got to the point where you're saying "win this game, and you get some credit back" it's already gone. You can't recover from that FFS.

true. This'll only lead to Ole playing it even more safe than he has done before. Which will lead to the same horrible football and more McFred starts and ultimately the same bad results

Do these imbeciles not realize that one loss in that champions league game mid week alone would turn the season morbid? Ronaldo might choke someone out of frustration at this point.

He's a dead man walking. It's kind of sad at this point.

For his sake the club should just pull the trigger. Feels like LVGs last few months when everyone knew Mourinho was on his way in, apart from LVG himself.

He's not recovering from this full stop, so it's just absolute lunacy.

I just wonder how tf the game vs Spurs is going to be prepared. Actually I imagine a scenario where the players themselves do the tactical preparation of it :lol:

I honestly think he'll be here for quite a-bit longer, unfortunately. We're going to revert to the most dour, defensive football imaginable, as he's in survival mode, and will only be looking out for his own interests i.e. keeping his job.

Spurs are an absolutely ideal opponent to implement this style of football against. They too will be playing defensive shite, so Ole will hope to catch them on the counter.

This situation is utterly fecking ridiculous. The rest of the footballing world must be in disbelief that we are actually this much of a shambles. I thought I would be able to endure the rest of his tenure, but the last two league games have been an absolute disgrace. I'm still in disbelief of what's gone on the last few days. My Liverpool supporting mates in the WhatsApp chat haven't even been gloating or taking the piss - I think they feel sorry for our sad state of a club. That in itself is fecking sad.

Weirdly enough, it seems they've gone for a high press approach from HT at Leicester to the Liverpool game. Apart from the counter attack style. Don't know why the change as made from 4231 to 424 the last 2 games but the change that they made, didn't work and didn't work to a catastrophic level too.


(Side note, it seems the Luckhurst/Ducker threads have been merged into here)

I wonder if the issue is more to do with the coaches not being able to implement Ole's ideas? As far as I understand, Phelan and Ole watch training from the sidelines (like Ferguson did), and leave the training to Carrick and McKenna, who are both learning on the job. Do they have the know-how to put into effect Ole's plans? I don't know anything about what our training looks like, but I've seen snippets of Guardiola conducting training sessions based on the model of football he wants played and I wonder if Carrick and McKenna are able to do the same. Ferguson outsourced this to others e.g. Queiroz. Perhaps we need a specialist coach and let Ole focus on man management, which I would guess is more in line with his skill set.
So are you saying this is Carrick and McKenna vs Klopp? What chance have we got?

So he's gone then, right?
It reads like "we need more time to decide on what to do next" to me rather than Ole having a chance to save his job. The board will know how the players are feeling and they've been through it before with past managers. Once the manager loses the majority of the dressing room it's game over.

Jesus Christ. Martin Edwards is there too.

We know how this is gonna end. It worked for Fergie, so it will work for Ole, just give him another three years.

We are a pathetic joke of a club. The worst run club in modern football.
Why is Martin Edwards there? I don't understand.

What can we possibly see in the next 3 matches that would be worth changing our minds? Even if we manage to luckbox our way to 3 wins it will be nothing else than another false dawn. It’s a pattern at this point. Just end this clownfest already.

Bang on mate. Conte is low on my list, I’m not a fan of his style but he’s a winner and sometimes all you can do in life is pick the best possible and hope for the best. My thoughts are for once we should get a modern, attacking manager like Ten Hag in.
That said, I’ll be right behind Conte regardless if that’s what we get and I hope the likes of @Wumminator will be also, the last thing we need is fans crying they didn’t get their favourite manager in or that “he doesn’t know the United way” blah blah blah.

If he can’t get us looking like a drilled unit by the Summer, I’ll be asking questions. Same would be said if it was Ten Hag.
Of course I will get behind any United manager who comes in!

Yeah, I'll choose to believe that the reason they're giving him these three games is that they obviously haven't got anyone lined up yet, so instead of putting an interim coach in, they're going to take a bit more time looking for a permanent one. In this scenario he's basically a dead man walking, which is not great, to be honest, and probably isn't fair on Ole but that's the situation we got ourselves in.

Because the alternative of him actually having three games to save his job is just absurd.

Whatever Ole tried against Liverpool, it failed miserably. I would be absolutely shocked if he didn't revert to an extremely conservative style from hereonin.

Er, surely the problem lately is the exact opposite of "playing it safe". We're playing with an insane level of defensive risk, far too attacking.

Feck off - We will never learn. 3 more losses and you will be giving huge pressure for a new manager to immediately get a result from day 1 else risk a CL knock out and top 4.

Sack him now and let the new manager start building a team for next one month. You will start getting the results after City. Why is it so hard to understand?
