I don't think he will be. Maybe he will be remembered as the one start started it and got the club to look at itself a bit better.
Think Klopp wanted to bring Liverpool back to the top, a project. Ed built us up as some footballing megapower, when actually we were on the wane. If he sold us in the right way he might have come here, but Ed can't help bragging.
There's undoing it and there's actively making us worse. We are a much worse side now than we were at any point under Mourinho or LvG. Hell, even Moyes wasn't this bad.
Bingo. Ole is probably out of his depth, but the anger should not be directed toward him. If he is sacked and Woodward and the board worms their way out of yet another calamitous reign without having their jobs under threat we wont go anywhere. Did you see Ole during the press conference yesterday, just like Moyes, LvG and Jose he looks like he has aged about 10 years
We need to be able to bring on some bloody fire power from the bench. The bench last night was insipid for a team aspiring for CL football.
Going with the wrecking ball analogy, i honestly think thats the right way to go about it. We have the second highest wage bill in the league and a shite, thin squad to show for it. If the club was the house then there is not only mold in every room, there is mold in the load bearing construction as well.
True. But this means that he will not be sacked today. And it is disgrace. After 4 defeats in 20 days. 4!!
Cavani available this month and possibly Jovic. If we aren't even looking into those possibilities it's a disgrace.
Not many rich enough to give those American leeches upto £5Bn. We're actually fecked! Worst MU squad I've seen in the PL era. PS bring back Smalldini! Never seen us so pathetic from set pieces in my life
Yeah but in my analogy, Ole is the wrecking ball.
Its hard not to feel upset and emotional after that performance - I get it. Its a bad time to be a Manchester United fan. As I've said before time and again though, one result doesn't change my belief that they are doing what needs to be done to bring this club back to its level. I'm frustrated at the board for the years of poor decision making that have caused us to reach the stage where we need to do such a drastic squad overhaul, but it is what it is. Suck it up and move on. Its only football. You are all desperate for change, and I understand that, but you are all directing your anger at the wrong person.
It's why we need a DOF at the same time. An expert at squad management. It might just be that we need to sign a few cheaper players on short term deals to bulk out the squad for a bit (your Matips, Milners, Shaqiri's) while the club uses the bulk of the budget to target high priority positions.
Surely we've accepted at this point that that just isn;t going to happen under these owners though? Fromw hat we've heard even when we were looking for one, it was more as a figurehead rather than a proper DOF.
Well first off I've been saying for most of the season that he should be sacked and I said when we hired him permanently that it was a mistake to not wait til the end of this season - so this isn't based off one bad result or emotion. My position on this has been consistent throughout.
If you think we'd even be asking if we hadn't been told he's interested I don't know what to tell you.
The window's only open for another week, I can't see anyone coming in. So why would someone like Poch come in and have a terrible season because of the squad, he and other managers only will come to the club in the summer and with the guarantee that there will be serious spending. beter yet, that deals have already been made so he can work with the squad from day one.
We still had Gomes and Dalot sitting there who can do a lot more offensively than Lingard and Shaw!
The fans have been incredible patient up to now , Mourinho has even commented on that aspect while he was boss. Hard to think of any other club the stature or near the stature of Utd that would not have fans doing mass protests etc after years of failure and massive under achievement on the scale we have seen at Old Trafford. But I think the tipping point is coming very soon.
and that'll buy Woodward enough breathing space until he inevitably fecks up recruitment again in the summer. And so it goes.
Not that bold. The fans love Ole. This is one manager where most fans will criticise whats above him. And what's ole done wrong? Would you have turned it down in his position? No chance. It should never have come to him getting the job in the first place. That's where the real issue is. We had to turn to Ole in desperation through years of stupid decisions.
We didn't 'have' to turn to Ole. None of us would have had him in our top 20 choices to succeed Mourinho. Take a bow, Ed.
He was given the caretaker joke, fine, no one had an issue with that. But we didn't have to make the foolish decision of giving him the job full-time. Everyone outside (and many inside) the Utd bubble laughed at the choice, said it was a disaster waiting to happen.
Am I only who took this as a positive? Usually these supporting claims appear before the manager ends up getting the sack. Arsenal board posted an announcement supporting Emery and saying he was the right man before sacking him few weeks later. It's the beginning of the end. Cheers guys! He will be gone in summer I'm sure about that.
Who gave him that job? Himself?
Really? Who?
We are only in a different situation because the owners have gotten us here, we are one of the biggest clubs in the world and should be run like it. If the owners change their perspective on things there is absolutely no need that we shouldn’t be run like a Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Basically answered my point for me. We didn't need to but we did because morale was so low and expectations. The man who has messed up the last 6 years and messed this up too is Ed Woodward.
