Have we decided to sack Ole? That would be a start at least.
I think we're going down the Van Gaal route where we basically decided to sack him at Christmas and let him limp on to the end of the season and replace him.
Complex problem need time to tackle. People should be given enough time to show their worth. It’s as simple as that. It’s not difficult to see why universities adapt to five-year tenure evaluation system.
Not yet but I can see it already, we draw against Atalanta and then lose the City game and the board realise actually we should’ve sacked him after the Liverpool game. After sitting there twiddling their thumbs the board think Let’s go and get Conte now, ah feck he’s already away to Spurs. Fletcher till the end of the season it is then.
He is a wum.
Glazers don’t want Conte.
They fancy a little puppet that they can control by emotionally blackmailing the fanbase.
Our management isn't a complex problem though. We have assembled a top tier squad bar one position. Yet given the squad to a manager who isn't fit for the championship.
Chelsea have won the Europa League and the Champions League since Conte left them - if that is square one then I want to be there!
What? Now, I get that sometimes progressive and promising managers get labelled hipster choices, but Vieira has been in that job 5 minutes.
The reports are saying that the board’s favorite candidates are Poch and Rodgers.
Vieira
We're already at square 1.
But did any of them have to do a Cultural Reset like we did? Do any of them have United DNA?
Apparently, we simply don’t have the same view on the complexity of the job in our club. My opinion is merely based on my own understanding of this world and this sports, nothing more and nothing less. Let’s just agree to disagree.
It's like we are watching a different United. We have literally switched back to a more defensive/counter-attack based football and yet some fans think Conte could possibly be worse. A good walloping in Italy and Ole and his cockiness will wash away like cheap paint.
Although I agree Ole should be sacked, I don't get it.
City up next, who will be fuming with that loss against Palace. If they're up for it, we could get absolutely slammed and Pep won't take the foot off the pedal.
Ole is now playing 7 at the back in sheer desperation with £100ms of forwards on the bench and people are still happy we haven't turned to """""negative""""" Conte.
But progress...
I think there is definitely that clause, but is the money saved more compared to losing out on CL money and I am sure even sponsorships would have CL exposure related clauses.
Who's reporting that? Seems to me that whoever we go after, the club will want to ensure them for next summer and hope Ole won't crash out of the top 4 in the meantime. I've heard that about Poch, that he's liked by the board and that, not Rodgers though. And Poch still has a very nice job.
At least we have our new Fergie. Without trophies and attacking football of course, but Top4/Europa League stability is key.
Yeah I agree- I can see it happening too.
Says it all really.
Ed: Have you seen Disneyland?
He's like Adam Sanberg in that shitty movie which has come out. He just cannot die. He just restarts the day.
