He knows very well that good things take time. So imo his farewell speech did make sense.
I agree with all this. A lot is made about the pointlessness of ‘vibes’ as a manager. But it’s clearly pretty valuable as this seems to be what propelled us with Ole on a great run, Did also coincide with a Bruno in the form of his life. Trouble with that though, is these won’t last forever and that’s where organisation and tactical astuteness are imperative. It’s plain horrific how we look now that the ‘vibes’ are gone. I still think board should have seen enough during the bad periods to go for Poch when he was available and like many others said we could regret that massively at some point. Was the board level version of missing an open goal.
Our only hope is that Ronaldo forces him out, could well be the most important thing Ronaldo ever does for the club.
Well many of us argued all along that the lack of any apparent tactical plan was going to kill us in the long run, and were continually told “it took Klopp 3 years, it took Fergie 6… blah blah blah”.
The Manchester United Benevolent Fund generosity.
Maybe Glazers have mates in the Leicester board too !
Exactly you'd be working your backside off trying to fix the mess you'd created. Like I say, if we were actually competent he'd be on a permanent holiday instead.... Its almost an admission he doesn't know how to fix it so there's no point staying to "try" to do so
There is no plan, they are clueless. Desparately sitting on their hands and praying. Just like when Mou sent out McTominay at centre back to show two fingers to the board for not backign him. Yet Woodward was too clueless to see what he is doing. The depth of the surrender against City is something that Woodward and the Glazers do not grasp. Ole is gone, he is an ex-manager. Only question when they choose to realise it. His mismanagement of VDB, Sancho etc is the
The comments from Michael Owen the other day were spot on. Klopp had a clear vision of how he wanted the team to play. That was evident early on and also there were weak links. These were addressed and he is now where he is. Ole has no vision at all, no idea of how to play other than a pale imitiation of Fergie where you chuck some good players on the pitch and tell them to get stuck in. It is so abysmal, yet fans continue to clap him. Why? You dont need to boo him but you should boo the rubbish on teh pitch and direct your anger at the Glazers and Woodward. Woodward is 100% the problem here, a muppett with no concept of running a football club. We need a complete reset, but the board are coverign their asses so dont want to be called out
Lose by more than a goal margin to Villareal and Ronaldo would know we can yet again be playing Thursday nights. Imagine seeing Ronaldo in the Europa League. You have to laugh to avoid crying.
He could have a career with Colgate or Listerine after his stint here. Seriously though, I dont think he is going to be sacked anytime soon unless Watford beat us (which is unlikey even though we are so bad). We are stuck with him like someone who is stuck with an abusive partner.
The number of players who take wild shots at goal I'd say he is coaching in the same way here.
That’s pretty much his only attacking idea against low blocks. Shoot from outside the box.
Haven't heard anything but I hope so.
It's definitely happening today. I heard ...
Nothing is happening today it's bussines asusual, Ole has 3 games to prove himself yet again.
I’m in the 0.01% that’s really not bothered who brings us success as long as they succeed. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have been delighted if that had been Ole.
Let’s put this in context; the people that have direct input into tactics, picking players - ole, McKenna, carrick, phelan
It was a great bit of comic relief amongst all the angst.This thread peaked when someone commented on the picture of Ole leaving the country.
Well he's smiling, so something terrible must have happened
Great post. Agree with all of that. I honestly think Woodward, even after 8 years of running a football club, could watch the City games and not be able to tell how bad it was. There are some people like that, who just never understand the game, but how has he stayed running United? Has he not also noticed how unanimous it is, across the whole media, that OGS is way out of his depth?
We all need help.
They won't sack Ole until a) it becomes clear beyond any doubt that he won't reach top four - and or b) a new manager becomes available who has a significantly higher chance of reaching top four. Nothing will change until either of those scenarios come into effect. It was the same for Moyes, LVG and Jose.
While maybe true it's madness because all our best players will want to leave if we do that
Think that is exactly the idea. I just find it an awful attitude. Other managers have not been given this chance, but they are so desperate for Ole to succeed they will sacrifice the season in the hope he turns it round. He has to have every player performing to their best to do that. Is it a false economy on the clubs part? Save on a full payout to Ole, but then risk losing CL money for next season and as has been said lose our best players without the attraction of CL to get replacements.
I'm with you lads. The lack of ambition from our board is frankly shocking for a club of our size and stature. It really is.
In an ideal world yes, but i honestly think Ten Haag amongst others have too much integrity to leave their respective clubs in the middle of the season, just like that.

I wouldn't call you a plastic fan for not enjoying positive results, because ultimately they are tainted by the fact we now know we need a better manager to take us forward.
Exactly this.
