Nothing can erase what he did in 99, you're just being dramatic. Plus the managerial career should be separate from the playing career.

Nothing will tarnish Oles legacy as a club legend, but his tenure as manager has been a shambles. One way or another it needs to end.

If he did resign this week, that would leave the club even further distracted from transfers (they're already useless) and they'd have to focus on hiring a new manager. So you'd get a new man coming in with a bare bones useless squad, it actually wouldn't make any difference. The focus for the sake of the club should be 100% on getting in Bruno Fernandes + forward before the end of the week, then decide on other issues. A caretaker won't help before the February break

He could enhance his legacy and destroy them in an exit interview when he resigns. Imagine the exposure that would get.

Agree with this. Not doing well, is one thing. Selling your soul and your defending inept owners to cling to your job is another.

Defending this regime while doing as badly as he is doing, will harm his legacy.

It will be impossible to talk about the player without recalling his role in this mess.

He should resign if he truly loves the club.
No it will not.

Come on lads, Ole the player and manager have absolutely nothing in common. Did Maradona managerial stints harmed his legacy?

He's just an inept manager, but that doesn't change his status as a player and the servant he has been for the club(as a player).

Which I dont think will ever happen. Those players will run through walls for him. The problem is further up.
Didn't look like they were running through walls today. I think many had given up at 2-0. Those subs also reflected a surrender from Ole.

Agree with the thread title. Do the decent thing and resign. It's not his fault he was appointed by a clown. But he can do something about it.

It seems it's too hard for some to separate him as a player and as a manager. Not to mention repeating CL final goal as if he's done that and nothing else.

Which is why we're in the position we are.

I want him out, but seen him called Gollum in the match thread and on Twitter tonight. Which is not cool.

If he cared about the club he would've done so long before now. It's his delusional positivity despite everything pointing towards the opposite and belief in himself, a third rate manager turning it around that grates me. He needs to leave for everyone's sake, but I can't see it happening.

He's a nice guy and I wish him the best but he's not even a Championship level manager. You can only hope he does the right thing.

You have lost a game guys, over reaction?
Yes it’s just one game you’re right. We’ve been amazing all season.

Oh wait it’s our worst points total at this stage of a season since 1990.

So yeh fck off telling us how to react[/QUOTE]

The board has to come up with the good and give him a decent squad to work with but will that happen?

He should do a Totti and resign so he won't have to sign an NDA and then can tell the fans the truth about the owners. That's what an honourable man would do at this stage.

It's not a pie in the sky idea considering Totti did it.

Ole has an opportunity to help deliver what he promised he can expose the Glazers and build this Ed/Glazers out movement. It may not work but it's the best chance for change.

It will. It might not for you, and it might not for me, but these things stick.

If he presides over a massive slump and he is in control as the ship lurches into mid table, and stays there, people will remember that and fans will have it in their minds when they talk about him.

It’s human nature. His legacy will forever be etched in the history of the club, but he is creating his own asterix if he sides with the Glazers and continues to take the club to new lows.

Serously mate? He's not the first player turned manager to have a hard time being at the helm (examples: Souness, Evans, Robson and Keane just on the top of my head) Should he still be manager? No. Will his possible qutting put Man United in a better position? No. Does all that touch his legacy as a Man United player. Feck no.

Same as Sir Alex should have come out against the Glazers but never did. Why? Because even though Fergie n Ole love United they aren't going to walk away from millions are they? Nobody would. That's the issue.

I think deep down they have a very different opinion on Woodward and the owners but they went with their bank balances and we'd have probably done the same in their situation.

Glazer scum out. Woodward for Strangeways

The problem at United is that the owners have no interest in success on the pitch. They just want the cash, my question is how much cash do these people need? they have already drained the club of millions, yet they are continuing to do so. Talk about greed. I can only say that the greed they have will come back and bite them on their asses.

Torrie did at Roma so you are wrong.

Yeah, cherry pick the stats why don't you :lol:
What do they tell us since the day he took over from Jose, not the day he signed a contract?
The hate and post-match bile on here really makes intelligent discourse impossible sometimes.:wenger:
That doesn't matter. Permanent roles are different to caretaker ones. Why do you think Avram Grant, Hiddink, fecking Di Matteo were so golden as caretakers?

It's human nature as you said. He's at a top job that will never ever get and will do anything to keep it.

He would never resign. Only way is Woodward to sack him, but match going fans have to turn the pressure on both.

But that distinction actually matters.

Before he signed that contract the players didn't know who they were going to have to impress to stay in the team, what system they were going to end up adopting, were not really being coached at all by Ole, had very little pressure on them and were on a high after the end of the Mourinho "sack me ffs" first half of the season.

The pressure and the expectation and the relevance of the coaching methods only began when Ole signed that permanent deal. And that is the exact moment everything fell apart.

Ole needs sacking, but so does Woodward, and as for the people at the top? they are the main problem. But they are happy people making lots of money from sitting on their asses doing feck all.. They also never give interviews . They just sit in the background and milk up all the cash. And leave the club threadbare when it comes to signing players as the cash is already taken out.

You're defending the indefensible. The fact that that stat exists to be cherrypicked is damning enough all by itself. Burnley ffs. It's not like they're flying high and exceeding all expectations either. Sean Dyche was one of the favourites to be next sacked a few weeks ago.

A mutual pay off would be nice. He was out of his depth when he had last season's squad, bar the happy manager bump.
Now he is drowning every week and doesn't have a clue what to do.

He won't resign. It's a bit like a gambler who wants one last throw of the dice and then another and another. He wants the glory and thinks he can turn it around with a bit of luck and financial support. In his head it's probably not his fault we are where we are. He's no different to all of the other failed managers before him.
