Lets wait for every team in the league to sing it before we sack him.
Ole Sack Watch

But what if we can’t land our top target? Conte surely should be in discussion considering he is far better option than Ole and he is available.
I'm so tired of thinking three years into the future. The squad is built to win now. Our players are old and out of contracts soon. The time to win is now. There's some good young players that will still be good young players in a few years anyways.
At this point I'd take a reddit match thread managing our squad over ole
It’s going to be beautiful as the United and Spurs fans sing “Ole’s at the wheel” in unison
Banter club at the minute. This is why Ole should’ve been sacked straight after the Liverpool game.
You were defending Ole till about 13 minutes ago. Now you care about doing well in the UCL? Or have any standards or expectations for that matter?
Next time please make a song when manager has actually won something.
I'm hoping we'll know fairly quickly? We're asking him to come in next season, so if he gives commitment, the rest of the stuff (Ajax payout, His contract with Utd) can be worked out slowly.
I'm sure they'll consider Conte too.
At any rate, we'll probably know in a week or two. Either Ole till the end of season followed by Ten Hag or Conte immediately.
Yes but if they're not happy with Conte (and plenty of reasons to not be happy, even the Caf is divided 50-50 on him) we shouldn't be stuck with him for another 3 years..
How can the board watch all the rival fans mock us and being beyond happy cause we're keeping him, Liverpool fans singing Ole at the wheel at Old Trafford and still keep him.
I think Liverpool's bootroom is a good comparison, that said it worked well in the 80s with Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish continuing their success before things going tits up in the 90s.
People want Ole gone now, rather than in 3 games time, because the mere prospect of being out of the Champions League at the group stage again is too much to bear. Seems utterly bizarre to hold this view and want a guy who finished third and bottom in his last two CL campaigns, despite the advantage of being a genius tactician who'd have us purring in a matter of weeks, to come in at the same time.
Same goes for the whole losing a European final thing when Conte a) got knocked out of the CL at the group stage and b) lost the Europa League final at the end of that season himself.
You think the Glazers in Miami know that? And that is the root of the problem.
Even the Leeds scum are getting in on the fun 
, we're a true laughing stock right now
, we're a true laughing stock right nowI'm not sure. How did Conte do in the CL?
If he's allowed to stay on and lose the Atalanta game and knock us out of the CL, and then get spanked by City, there is literally no hope for this club. Seriously, if the club is this indecisive in doing what needs to be done, there's nothing left to hope. In 3 years time, Newcastle will take the top 4 place from us or Leicester. While we'll still be romantacising our success in the early 2000s. God help this club.
As long as the Glazers stay, we are not winning anything.

Do you mean go?
Why would we be stuck with him for three years? Seriously this whole debacle with ole hasn't taught you that a year or two isn't enough to know if a manager has it?
Yes, my bad. Edited it now.
I hope these cnuts and Professor Bielsa get relegated.
You had me worried there.
Overall record is 12 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses. He's won 3 out of his last 15 games and the furthest he's got is the quarter finals with Juventus in 2012/2013 where he was beaten 4-0 on aggregate by Bayern.
Sir Alex himself said that it won't happen. We have learnt from the past, and we won't allow it to happen again.
The only remaining thing needs doing to complete the circus is if Sir Alex returns for a brief spell, as Sir Matt did back then.
Trying to be "different" from the rest of the big clubs is gonna achieve exactly being different from the rest of the big clubs. Essentially, not being a big club.
Thanks.
That's the 1st time it has been mentioned here today.
It's expensive to get rid and causes chaos with transfers, squad balance etc. Especially so with Conte.
I assume he'll demand a midfielder (TBH any sane manager would) like he did with Drinkwater / Bakayoko at Chelsea and throw a fit until he gets his signing and we'll be stuck with deadwood after he leaves.
On top of that I think Chelsea ended up paying him ~25M to terminate with one year left on the contract.
Hopefully come the away game there we'll come with another manager and properly batter them.
We're out of the title race, and could easily be out of UCL when this episode ends. So yeah, that would be tanking the season. The season when we were supposed to compete, will be over before Christmas.
He didn't demand drinkwater or bakayoko he wanted someone else but Chelsea board signed them.
So they paid him the price of one dvb to get rid of him? Not that bad if it doesn't work out in the next 7 months then
It doesn't matter though does it? I can't see them leaving us until they've leeched every single potential penny off of us. By which time we will be a fallen giant.You had me worried there.
Particularly negative today, but you might understand why
Let me guess, he was the one who demanded Kante and Rudiger though?
How will we be out of the CL? Surely the next manager can get at least a draw against Villarreal? After all Ole losing to them on pens was embarrassing, we’re Man United and we’ve added Sancho, Ronaldo and Sancho since.
Right, so inventing a meeting just to get their first doesn’t give you any red flags?
No clue, just saw a Chelsea fan say that the board wanted those two and he wanted other players
Definitely.It doesn't matter though does it? I can't see them leaving us until they've leeched every single potential penny off of us. By which time we will be a fallen giant.

My problem with this is that the club's reservations worry me. Partly because I don't trust the incompetent set-up that runs this club, but partly because of the media leaks. It seems Conte wants to introduce his own backstaff and the club is once again protecting the mates. It's highly likely that Conte would want to get rid off Carrick and McKenna, and rightly so, but Mates FC sticks for its mates. Of course, he'd want control of the transfers, how much control is anyone's guess. But that IMO is also a good thing because Fletcher literally has zero experience at the job and Conte's transfers throughout his years has mostly been hits.
Conte agreed to part ways with Inter for 7 million, so there's that. Also, that's not true. Conte is not a crazy spender like Jose. He'll work with what he has, but he would expect ambition, yes, like any top manager in the world. You think Guardiola works on a shoestring budget or something? His transfer spending at Juve, Inter and Chelsea has been entirely reasonable and this club if nothing else, loves to throw absurd amount of money at things.
Down to 88.2% now. That’s a .5% decrease today alone. This means in 160 days all of us will be behind Ole!
All our rivals singing Oles at the Wheel.
What an embarrassment we have become.
What an embarrassment we have become.
So we have 1 point from last 4 league games with him clearly losing the dressing room and maybe scraping by 1 game will suddenly change things around?
How does that work?
Could be tough considering that there is a high chance that the new manager would take a totally broken squad (maybe 1 win in the last 8 matches, with two humiliations from our biggest rivals), and needs to prepare Arsenal, Villareal and Chelsea matches immediately after the international break, so with only 2-3 days with the players.
It is better to give to him 2 chances (against Atalanta and Villareal) than one chance. Dunno how the board doesn't see it, but then, dunno how the board did not see the Ole fiasco.
