Didn't say he didn't but we've still got UCL and FA Cup to play for and interim appointment or not it's a very underwhelming appointmentMourinho was choking the life out of the team, players were unhappy, the football was abysmal, he had to go.
Thanks. xPerfect
So lads. When do we start a What does Mike Phelan actually do thread?
There is a video in the ‘Ferguson taught me everything thread’Seeing as this is the managerial equivalent of being a 'super-sub' - I am sure he'll smash it. Seriously though what is his footballing philosophy in general... not that I have any expectations for rest of this season, but I have no idea of Molde played?
Can't wait for the heated debates around Mickey Phelans shorts.So lads. When do we start a What does Mike Phelan actually do thread?
Obviously, because once appointed, I can actually see the appointment, be it from East London or anywhere else. What I can’t see from here is ‘who else is available and would have accepted an interim role?’. How the feck should I know? If you asked me that 24 hours ago, I wouldn’t have said Ole Solskjaer. I’m discussing his merits now that he’s been seemingly appointed.But you can tell us from East London that essentially he is a bad appointment? Step out of the light son, Mourinho has gone. Its time to be positive!
Obama.. my English is terrible.Well with his England stint, you could say he’s Trumped it?
I’ll get my coat.

We just don't know - which is kind of exciting. Obviously, there is an element of wanting one of your favourite players to do well. I mean, if it was some random manager, I'm sure this thread would be in meltdown but you're in the wrong sport if you can't help but romanticise and fantascise about the unlikely event a United legend actually makes it here.Yeah, totally agree with you.
Really hope it doesn't go to shit though, Oles legacy deserves more. Shame he's coming in in such shitty circumstances.
There's no chance the fans get on his back - he's bullet proof in that respect and the players and board will get it well before he does.Same for me. This is why I'm not against Phelan and Rene coming in to help him. Really nervous for him and hope fans don't start having a go when he struggles a bit.
Alex Ferguson was sacked by St. Mirren - didn't stop him from becoming a half decent manager ...............Frank Rijkaard got Sparta Rotterdam relegated the year before he went to Barcelona, Luis Enrique failed miserably at Roma, Pochettino was essentially sacked by Espanyol when the team was in last place in the league. The list goes on and on, most managers have a bad run, very often early on.
The usual for this type of situation is to give it to your assistant manager who has no experience we are just lucky enough to have a legend happy to take it on who happens to have already won two league titles with an unfancied side after successfully coaching our youth team.
I just personally don't see how we could have made a better choice given the circumstances we find ourselves in. Blanc maybe but I was very, very doubtful he would take it.

We are currently 6th, and want to finish 4th. With more than half of the season to go. All this ‘season doesn’t matter’ talk is bollocks.Your point is fair but you have to remember that of all the times Chelsea's best season actually came under De Matteo rather than Hiddink & Rafa . United have pretty much given up on the season and can clearly see that the club can most importantly do with some good vibes
It has potential.Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Jose’s sacked, now we’ve got Ole
Hahaha haha ha ha

Most people still think Lukaku is shit tbf.Obviously, because once appointed, I can actually see the appointment, be it from East London or anywhere else. What I can’t see from here is ‘who else is available and would have accepted an interim role?’. How the feck should I know? If you asked me that 24 hours ago, I wouldn’t have said Ole Solskjaer. I’m discussing his merits now that he’s been seemingly appointed.
And anyone from anywhere can see that his CV does not say ‘next United manager’ anyway. The caf just does this. Once something is happening, it’s always the greatest idea. A week before we were linked to Lukaku, he’s shit, until he signs, then you are called names if you think he’s shit.
I obviously want Ole to do well, but if you step back a week and then consider his credentials from there, you are likely to get a clearer view on what you think his merits are.
Yeah, Grant was a terrible appointment. Give me Ole anyway.How could I possibly tell you that, from my bedroom in East London?
I am confident that if Solskjaer has spent his career elsewhere, and was judged on his merits as a manager, Manchester United would not struggle to get a more qualified manager than him, interim or not. Chelsea have managed to get Hiddink, Benitez and Grant in similar circumstances. If I had said yesterday we should sack Jose and get Ole in I can only imagine the reaction.
Brilliant!Deck the halls with boughs of holly

100%Lets just enjoy it, season is a write off anyway , I think its randomly brilliant. We haven't really got a lot to lose with this one.
Yes I'm trying to be positive as well! I just adore him though and want him to do a good job. He knows it's his one great opportunity to lead United (even for only 6 months), so I hope he has no regrets at the end and does himself proud.There's no chance the fans get on his back - he's bullet proof in that respect and the players and board will get it well before he does.
Best case scenario, he gets the players enjoying their football again, we see an immediate bounce and have an enjoyable few months of attacking football.
Trying my best to stick with this mindset!
