Him and Neville might want to wind their necks in a little.

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.
Can a mod create a ‘cnut’ badge for any member happy about this?
Our fans are the worst but not because of this. He undermined the last two managers on TV. When do you see the dippers do that to Klopp, they didnt even do it much with Rodgers. I wouldnt have a problem with Scholesy if it wasnt for his constant criticism of LVG and Jose, there is no way he helped matters at all. As a player he is unrivaled but as a pundit he leaves a lot to be desired.
That's too simplistic. He was sniping at the players and acting if they are garbage or didn't care. Meanwhile as we now know, it was Mourinho's terrible tactics that were holding many of them back. He's a big boy. If he can dish it out he can take it himself. Nobody is "happy" he failed, we're just commenting on the irony of it all and having a bit of a laugh.
Must be a culture shock to him. Imagine travelling down to somewhere like Yeovil on a standard coach, kipping in a 3 star hotel and then getting drubbed 4-0 - and travelling back home.
This
Honestly where is this crap theory coming from.
I respect Scholes way more than someone like Neville who blindly defended our previous managers wasting the clubs money as well as match going fans. I can't believe our "fans" are actually happy this is happening to a club legend.
What's his crime? Saying Mourinho was shit?
There are retired football players than can do punditry , there are some retired football players that can manage and there are retired football players that should do neither. Hopefully Scholes will realize he is someone that should do neither
and LVG
They don't do it Klopp because Klopp has got them playing the best way since years. His constant criticism was justified. He cares for United like and didn't like seeing too cnuts managers messing the team.
If someone is anti Scholes because of this then just go support Madrid. You'll fit in well there. Read Marca everyday and support your team.
And both of those two fans were eventually sacked by the board after months of our fans criticising them which makes Scholes right to criticise them.
I don't know, but I laughed when reading the news. Jose must be like me too.. 
Well, he is still one of my Man United's favourite players. A legend..

You really think someone brave enough to try managing a team in League 2, or a failing team in a country where you don't speak the language should wind their neck in because it didn't work out?
You might want to have a critical look at yourself.
I took a look, and it's fecking ugly.
Indeed. Hate a legend because he criticized a manager who disrespected our entire history and "heritage" because he didn't have the guts to try and attack European heavyweight and serial champion league winner Sevilla.
Or closet Madrid/Pool supporters. So much sensitivity over someone criticizing the team rightfully so.
Yeah that's bullshit. Try reading the thread again and his comments again. Out of all our ex players, he was Jose's biggest and most ferocious critic.
Scholes is one of our own and a big legend of Man Utd. Laughing and ridiculing him for this is shambolic. No one knows the context of his resignation.
Him criticising Mourinho was spot on, his own experience at Oldham does not change that.

Seeing a United legend constantly question the clubs manager didnt help them did it?
Yeah, it's a joke. 'Deserve it for all the shit he's been talking'. Posters on here can't wait to post shit about our ex players. All they've done is said what they think, which is all they're paid for.
And just because they've not been successful as manager doesn't mean they don't know anything. Management takes much more than knowledge, even in the real world, nevermind in sport.
On top of that, just because you aren't doing it yourself doesn't mean you can't judge and praise or criticise accordingly, especially when it comes to sport. We wouldn't have much of a football forum otherwise.
Surely he'd be a better coach than a manager? If he doesn't like speaking in public or making tough decisions coaching could be a great way forward.
He could even do what Bobby Charlton did and open schools for local kids.

He criticized the team under Mourinho. Fans like you got butt hurt and insecure. That's all there is.
Bring him in the united coaching set up.
Mature!
Bit of an unexpected turn of events, something's happened which he clearly didn't sign up for. He's put his reputation on the line taking the job and he's resigned already, he's not even had a transfer window to create his own team. It's a shame really, I'd have kept an eye out on who he signed and how they played next season.
It's nuts
I wouldn't mind a temporary ban. Cheering on the failure of an ex United Legend. How can you possibly be a part of this club with that.
State of some people in this thread.
Neville, Henry and Scholes. These pundits don't realize talking shite in media doesn't mean you're going to be a great manager. Time for the others to shut up in punditry.
Are you seriously suggesting that big personalities like Mourinho and LvG couldn't do their job properly because ex legends criticised them? Are you kidding here?
By that logic should we all shut up as well?
Blimey, don't cry fella.
The guy simply pointed out those who dish the abuse as pundits and have found it's not quite as easy as they thought should perhaps remember that.
That's a stupid logic.
Both told it how it was, I suppose you would rather we end up like Liverpool, getting increasingly worse but having a glut of former players swanning about as pundits talking about "our year"
Let me get this straight. Our class of 92 criticized people that were driving us away from our values and traditions as a club. Then someone takes control of our club and re instills exactly what this class of 92 were crying for and proves them absolutely right.
Yet the forum still finds a way to dislike scholes and Neville? Weird lot

Hopefully he would give a much better pundits/interview, being more understanding to managers, while still being honest giving say it as it is comments.
Just after 7 games managing is just embarrassing, resigning at that. Should've take better responsibility, management is hard, and try longer and harder. Maybe something happening behind the scene? idk, or maybe he just don't want to be sacked.
Still one of my top fav players.

oh boo hoo, the big bad scholes criticized dour faced Mourinho during his time here as well as some underperforming stars. Grow up people, that was his job ffs. Not to be a United sycophant.Nope I am saying it didnt help their cause, can you read?
Exactly my thoughts . Anyway Scholes was right about Mourinho in the end, which makes it bizarre to hang him on that opinion. And people forget just how dire and boring we were under LVG. Paul Scholes isn't perfect and maybe he's not a great pundit but he's a United legend, one of the greatest midfielders of all time, and was right about several things even if his delivery wasn't ideal.
