When he finishes the process which means 2030.
Ole Sack Watch

Add man-management to that. I am re watching the first half now, and how Maguire was deemed fit to start is shocking
I get wanting change and being frustrated, but Joachim Löw? Have a word!
Not good enough to even at least play better football vs Young Boy, Wolves, Southampton, Villareal, Everton, Villa, Leicester?
See how easy we are to play through? That shouldn’t be happening no matter our midfield options.
I just keep thinking about how when Chelsea sacked Lampard to bring in Tuchel they then went on a terrific run and won the Champions League.
Yet you just know we will sit and wait until the entire season is written off and then make a move

Thurded.
Why not?
Have a look at his club career. Unmitigated disaster.
Zidane is the obvious choice how. He’s an absolute star. He’s got the CV and he commands respect. Then Conte.
City play with Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne in midfield. Bruno and Pogba can easily be that.
Any other good modern German manager like Klopp, Tuchel, Nagelsmann, Flick, Rose who is available now?

We’ve just given mick phelan a new contract haven’t we
It was me, I really thought he had more support here. So it turns out it was just a couple of vocal posters.
If you want that type of style then I can think only of Erik ten Hag. But I think it will be Zidane.
Also have to consider the timing. Straight after being crushed by Leicester, you'd expect such a poll to be a bit more drastic than in a couple of days.
Yes but it's only a short-term deal.
So what. Get rid. They are useless
Yeah, I guess quite a few have been on the fence for a long while now but this season has just pushed them over with a cluster of dreadful performances. There really is nothing to hold onto when it comes to Ole, there are no positive signs. And when he says maybe they (read: he) need to change something, it sounds quite alarming
I did.
I guess for a touch of positivity: this isn't a bad squad:
De Gea: Seems a bit refreshed this year. Will never be the 'modern' keeper or control his box, but you can win with him.
Shaw: Started poorly this season, but incredible last season.
Maguire: Like Shaw, not been great this year, but he has shown for decent spells that he can be a top level CB.
Varane: Is a top level CB, in his prime.
AWB: I have my doubts, but he's been part of our defense when it's conceding very few.
Pogba: For all his negatives, outrageously talented and can be influential.
Fernandes: Our best player since he signed.
Rashford: Once fit, one of the best young attacking players in the world.
Sancho: At BVB, one of the best young attacking players in the world.
Greenwood: One of the best young attacking players in the world.
Yes, there's a notable gap in the middle, but a good coach could work out something to minimise the issue.
I think an ambitious manager would relish the chance to have this squad - certainly moreso than picking up after what LVG or Moyes left us.

Please @Raoul make it public
Id love this to be given to Ole and to hear his reply, it’s ridiculous how we’ve found ourselves in this situation after all the investment made.
Care to explain your reason?
Btw, don't wanna sound like I'm interrogating you! Just genuinely curious as to why you still have faith.
Not possible after the poll is started. Also questionable morally to start a poll incognito and change that after people voted.
Between these 2, I will go for Zidane for experience at the highest level.
Ten Hag is a doubt from Dutch League to one of the biggest club in the world.
Dont know what Ole is like in private but I cant for a second imagine those players on the flight back being afraid of the managers reaction. yeah he's a great guy..........but a manager? I'm sure you wouldn't cross Klopp as a player. Pep? literally any of the managers you see week in week out with teams busting a gut to play in their system. We are deluded if we let this continue
it’s a great squad and I can’t believe people would suggest otherwise. As you say, notable gap in the middle but a decent team of coaches would get it working right.
Can't be done. He has clarified already.
You know what’s sad? Is that I pretty much said the same thing a few years ago with Jose and it’s now rinse and repeat with Ole.
I couldn’t imagine pep and Klopp sleeping after watching their team play like this. Ole probably went home stuck the kettle on and put his feet up.
Their latest cover photo on their Facebook page is very apt
Like the dark clouds which briefly lifted are coming back over the club
Ooh exciting I managed to embed a photo. Small things!

Writing on the wall
I’m still Ole in by sliver but agree if we don’t perform against Atalanta we need to make a change.
If we hire and keep a manager from Molde in Norwegian league for 3 yrs, then Ten Hag must be a shoe in!
It's so sad, I really wanted Ole to be successful, but unfortunately just won't be. Needs to go but can't see it happening before the end of the season. He's done a great job building an excellent squad but he himself doesn't have the talent to lead it to trophies
You me
I love Ole.
Was blessed to grow up watching him be one of the most impactful substitutes ever and around fantastic players in a once in a generation team of players under a legendary manager.
I've supported his appointment 100% throughout previous rocky patches, believing he can turn us around.
We looked to have been going in the right direction, finished 2nd last year, cup final, strong summer signings, have the OT crowd back etc.
But there's just a sense now that the job is too big for him. I'm not confident that the players belive in him. I think it's time for a change, and it wrenches to feel this way.

What about losing to Atalanta and Liverpool? Which is quite a possibility at this point.
That's part of the problem. Our coaches are shit.
