So he said (quote) "slight hiccups"?We have progressed as a group and close to the level we aspire to be according to Ole. But slight hiccup is that results have been horrible

Bet against the utter blindness and disinterest of our board? No thanks. Anyway am crushed as it is.Want a bet that he will survive until NT,break? Even bookies changed him as absolute favourite (1/5 odds now)
Not exactly. But he did mention result as it is the only issue. Not an exact quote. Will edit original response if it is causing confusionSo he said (quote) "slight hiccups"?
Sack him now. Let Phelan etc coach the team for 3 games while you appoint the new guy?Do you put in a new manager now and have him potentially get off to a disastrous start with 3 extremely difficult away games in a row or wait for the international break and let him get some time with players and start against Watford?
When he's gone and this nightmare ends, I'm prepared to see it this way. The thing that prevents me is his complete incompetence and how sure of himself he is. He parades around laughing like he's untouchable and has done great things here. The sooner I see less of that I'll ease up and go back to loving Ole the player, putting all this behind me but thanking him for what he did get right.I feel sorry for Ole today. He has tried to do everything the right way, but it's plainly obvious that he isn't good enough.
At a personal level, watching him and Fergie today will remain one of my worst footballing memories for a long time.
Ole looked broken like someone came into his home and robbed him of everything he has. He put up a brave face for the media but he can't survive that in his own head.
The issues with Ole keep coming back and the problem is that he doesn't seem to learn from mistakes. He's got a lot right and has got the squad into a much better shape than when he took over, but it's brutal now for him.
He's held his hands up for poor performances from the team one too many times now. The players are so disjointed, it feels like we are a high quality pub team.
I'm not sure he survives tonight. If he does, then I don't see how he gets the dressing room back after those mistakes.
It's unfortunate, but it's done. I hoped for better, but the romance has gone now.
You will still remain a legend Ole. Please don't stick around longer and become the villain.
It sounded delusional which is honesty quite sad.Judging by his comments about him thinking he’s close, he isn’t going to resign. If, after that performance, he can come out and say he thinks he’s doing a good job and he thinks there’s real progression then he’ll never resign.
But the club need to act and sack him because he doesn’t have the players support that’s clear, and judging by many of the comments from supporters who were at the ground they’ve lost hope in him too.
Love the guy and thank him for his efforts but he isn’t the guy to take us forward.
Please post the comments verbatim, if possible.Not exactly. But he did mention result as it is the only issue. Not an exact quote. Will edit original response if it is causing confusion
DisagreeIt's run its course. Hate to say it, but it's no longer possible to believe otherwise.
It's eight games now of weak performances and similar shortcomings, and it seems apparent there's not going to be something other than doubling down on the same approach and style.
He's got nothing to be ashamed of though. He's improved the club in a lot of ways, and laves it in a much, much better state than when he took over. He should be applauded off the grounds.
Do I really need to give evidence? It's pretty much there for everyone to see.What evidence is there to suggest that we can find someone better based on the experience since Fergie left? It's a disgraceful and embarrassing result, but it's not like we are 10 points off qualifying for the champions league with 4 games left. Consider that this would be new manager under Woodward who has no responsibility after January (not that he seems to care.)
A clean start would be January and statistically we can well in contention for CL qualification, even if challenging for all competitions this season is unlikely. That would likely result in a better long term outcome than trying to bring whichever manager is available this week.
He says he takes responsibility but is quick to talk about how we weren't clinical and how much progress we've made.What did the manager say post game? Any admission of failure?
Relax bud. It's just football at the end of the day. With the amount we invest, it's bound to come together at some point.I am thankful for everything he has done so far but its time now. This cant keep on going. It was that bad that I let out a few tears after the 4:0. This is the worst game and worst feeling I have ever felt as a United Fan. I have never experienced anything more painfull.
He's tarnishing his own legacy at this point, but if he wants to take the selfish route that's his choice.Tweet

I see your point but we have squad of superstars now. We’ve not looked convincing this season even in games that we’ve won apart from maybe against Newcastle.Keep the faith. He's been the best squad builder and his team has played the best football since Fergie retired. People are fickle. It's totally shit to be humped by Liverpool at home and I'm getting it left, right and centre at the moment, but Ole's got some massive results against the big teams in recent seasons and broke the record for being unbeaten away from home. He's brought through young talent and will continue to do so imo. We have progressed and, while I'm not delighted with our current run, it won't last forever.
But but but...he loves the club and shit like that?He says he takes responsibility but is quick to talk about how we weren't clinical and how much progress we've made.
It's open season on Ole and rightfully so after that performance. I just feel it's sad that he won't walk away with his head held up high, instead he will cling to this job nails and teeth until he's kicked out, that much is certain after this press-conference.
why didn't he do that today? I'm baffled - it's literally the only tactical approach he's shown any understanding ofCurious to see if he can even make it to December without going back to defensive counterattack. The big summer really threw him into a corner. He has no excuse to use those tactics and is getting exposed without them.
