Maybe he's legged it to Norway, hoping the board forget to sack him while he's away. Then he can come back and pretend its all good.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Ole was a better fit for Utd, but I think it's ridiculous to claim Ole is a better manager than Moyes. Moyes has achieved far more in his managerial career than Ole.
For us or in general because thinking Ole is in Moyes’ league when it comes to management is insane
Ole should ask himself why there's always a rot he needs to stop but he's too deluded.
I see no point in keeping him as a lame duck if that’s the case. Just replace him with an interim. Heck, even Carrick or McKenna would be better, but we should be able to find an interim like Chelsea have with Hiddink, Rafa, Grant etc. who can try to salvage a cup win until we get our target in the summer or whenever.
Getting rid alone should give us a boost, and it can hardly get any worse.
The same line is being trotted out constantly - 'But has been given no indication he's set for the sack'
I mean, zero is still the same as zero.
Nah might as well stick with Ole if you take that option. Those two, plus Phelan have to be gone with him.
Aye I watched earlier myself, knew it was only a matter of time before the mainstream media would pick up on it. They seem to get a story from Rio every week on Vibe with Five.
Or maybe like Van Gaal, he's requested the board to allow him to leave the country before announcing his sacking?
He’ll be gone soon enough, and deservedly so. But remember he is a club legend and always will be. He has done all he could, and many fans would say he is leaving us with a better team than after either LVG or Mourinho left us.
Yeah neither was Jose on that Monday either and we all know what happened next morning
That’s obviously the best case scenario. But getting rid of him alone is still the lesser of two evils IMO. And the sack alone might give us a (short lived) boost. Of course given that they are gone once a permanent replacement comes.
I told people. Once Howson is Ole out it’s over.
I agree. It need to be a new setup. We will know soon enough.
RIo actively saying he should go is pretty big IMO. We all know he has sources inside the club too.
Rio going against the cabal of former players.
The Emperor’s new clothes illusion of ‘progress’ is now used by the man himself. Look how far we’ve come, etc.
Holding up - and succeeded in convincing many people who currently consider themselves his detractors in this - finishing second as a sign of progress Vs the achievements of his predecessor who..*checks notes *….. finished second, is objectively an impressive achievement that eclipses anything he’s done in terms of results or performance on the pitch

Didn’t you have some inside info on the Pogba deal? Or was that just BS? Can’t you get some info on Ole form your source, given you’re a Noggie?
maybe insane. But I remember Moyes’ time at United. It was one blunder after another, non-stop. I knew he was NGMI before his first pre-season was over. Maybe he has had more achievements than Ole in his long career, but he is destined to be a mid-table managet at best, struggling for a European spot.
But they didn't give any indication they were going to sack LVG or Jose either. Honestly, I don't anyone in the media - literally no one - has the faintest idea of what's going on at United right now, and they're just throwing bullshit tweet after bullshit tweet because they know United fans will lap it up.
Maybe him and his family going to Norway is the club allowing him to escape relatively outside of the media glare, vs what it would be like if he was dismissed and then headed to the airport.
With 7 less points than Mourinho.
I don't think he's deluded. He knows that this isn't good enough and knows that he's under enormous pressure. He will also know that he's losing the support of the fans, the players and that his time is running out. The problem is he has no idea how to turn this around and the club is hanging him out to dry by not acting.
Imo no matter how frustrating it is we need to avoid the insults, the people saying they hate the sight of him etc. That's not right on a human level. Most of us think he should be replaced but I hope that when it happens some will reflect on the way the way they've voiced their frustration in recent weeks.
I wish I could. Just have to wait and see. That said, we can’t go on like this. Everyone, including the board/owners know. His gone imo.Didn’t you have some inside info on the Pogba deal? Or was that just BS? Can’t you get some info on Ole form your source, given you’re a Noggie?
And two fewer trophies
He knows full well the people above him are idiots and a convincing win against Watford will give him a longer stay of execution. So the saga of Ole selfishly clinging to his job and ruining players' careers in the process will continue unless Watford cause an upset.
Does it actually though?
Unfortunately not
But I am pretty disgusted by a lot of the rethoric being thrown around here. That doesn't extend to just Ole however, Jones, Lingard, etc. Pretty much anyone in the club that's the subject of non stop torrential abuse that goes beyond the scope of performance.
Essentially: If you wouldnt say it to someones face, why even say it.
Tweet deleted. What was it?
This
Two days later.
I completely agree mate. It seems like the club aren't saying anything and reputable journos like Ornstein have put forth the below tweet pointing to there being a 'sense in the industry'

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if like LVG, we allow him to leave the country before announcing the news tomorrow.
I agree with this post.
Ole is showing a lack of respect to us fans by greedily hanging on to his job when it’s clearly not in the best interests of the club
Exactly. He don’t need the £7.5m. Why don’t he think of us fans. We cheered him even when he couldn’t play.
Please tell me this is sarcasm
What is your counter argument my friend?
Wouldn't put it past them in the slightest.
The shameful way they handled the LVG and Jose sackings supports that theory.
