So, we all Ole in if we get top four and/or win the EL? I assume we are.
I definitely am. Thats the moment I will change my vote. Clear, tangible progress and a target achieved, even if there are question marks, he will deserve another season.So, we all Ole in if we get top four and/or win the EL? I assume we are.

If not?So, we all Ole in if we get top four and/or win the EL? I assume we are.
I think he might stay regardless, the board might have seen enough encouraging signs. I still shake my head over the summer transfer business (not getting a number 10 or a first choice winger/back up striker) and our season changed with the Bruno signing. If it all goes wrong you have to point to that and Ed's stupidity.So, we all Ole in if we get top four and/or win the EL? I assume we are.
He's getting next season no matter what. After that remains to be seen.If not?
I'm "Ole in" even if we fail at both.So, we all Ole in if we get top four and/or win the EL? I assume we are.
We were saying that about Van Gaal and Jose too initially.He's getting next season no matter what. After that remains to be seen.
To be fair his tenure won't be a waste either way. He has done several transfer and squad changes that I think will help the next manager, no matter whom he's, a lot.
What happened to you??He's getting next season no matter what. After that remains to be seen.

I think he'll stay regardless. I more meant will the fans on here back him/the ones that don't want him change their tune and be happy with CL football.If not?

Hey, I'm trying to be optimistic lads, For once I'm trying to sound positive, beside he has been doing very well recently to be fair so can't criticize him much, and really can see many managers liking to have the likes of Bruno as their main creator, and Rashford and Greenwood too, beside Martial recent great form. I think many managers will like this set of players so at least his tenure wasn't a big loss for us.What happened to you??
We really weren't.We were saying that about Van Gaal and Jose too initially.
As long as the manager isn't the complete opposite of of Solskjaer we can build on some of these players. But knowing Woodie, he will do another 180 and get a known name that will ask for 5 transfer windows to assemble his defensive team. We will then fire him and hire a washed away Pep Guardiola in 2027. The same will happen. Woodie will then hire Rupert Murdoch to do his press.We were saying that about Van Gaal and Jose too initially.
You can go back and view the threads.We really weren't.
I think the problem is that if we don't get top four, it'll seriously hamper our rebuild and transfer targets. It's absolutely vital that we have CL football next season. I think he'll stay regardless as there's no noises to the contrary.I'm "Ole in" even if we fail at both.
We spent half the season with a shite bench, Lingard/Pereira as our creator(s) and a lengthy injury spell on Rashford on top of this. Truth be told, we've been overachieving
I did . I have so big hopes for both of them.We really weren't.
If you listen to the muppets then yes. People spanked themselves silly in August then realise that the players brought in were shit come November. With Jose it was the same, lots of initial excitement followed by a dose of reality afterwards when watching the players first hand. Don't buy the argument, there was plenty of talk about Van Gaal having a history of building teams up, there was plenty of talk of Jose wrecking teams because he'd build with short term in mind.You can go back and view the threads.
The entire talk was that the next manager will have a much better squad to work with as a result of the signings.
I'm not even the only one who's mentioned this recently.
Ole’s first big test is next season?Ole's real judgment time is next season IMO. If we aren't challenging for the league than he has to go. Top 4 should be an absolute bare minimum.
No, but by then he will of had enough time and enough transfer windows to of fully enforced his philosophy. If that isn't good enough to challenge for the title then he isn't the answer.Ole’s first big test is next season?
What if we sign no players this summer and we get a lengthy injury spell on 1 or 2 important players(Bruno, Pogba, Martial etc)? Even without injuries this team is not on the same level as City, Pool and even Chelsea with their amazing transfer window so far.No, but by then he will of had enough time and enough transfer windows to of fully enforced his philosophy. If that isn't good enough to challenge for the title then he isn't the answer.
This joke isn't even funny anymore. I don't get why some are still saying it.Ole’s first big test is next season?
Yes, but he will still deserve credit for getting us back into the top four, somewhere we haven’t been many times recently.No, but by then he will of had enough time and enough transfer windows to of fully enforced his philosophy. If that isn't good enough to challenge for the title then he isn't the answer.
I really wouldn't be expecting a title challenge next season. I think the aim would be a very comfortable third place finish. Liverpool are still far better than us and I can see City making big strides in the transfer market this summer. Our aim should be a third place finish. I would love a title push of course but it's not a reality for next season.No, but by then he will of had enough time and enough transfer windows to of fully enforced his philosophy.

If we sign no players this summer then he needs to stand up to the Glazers or he would be creating a rod for his own back by being a yes man.What if we sign no players this summer and we get a lengthy injury spell on 1 or 2 important players(Bruno, Pogba, Martial etc)?

Surviving this joke will be your biggest test.This joke isn't even funny anymore. I don't get why some are still saying it.
Totally. If we qualify this season then he deserves a hell of a lot of credit. He then needs to build on it though. No point just being an also ran for the Champions League and trying to scrape top 4 every year. We roasted Arsenal for years for doing that.Yes, but he will still deserve credit for getting us back into the top four, somewhere we haven’t been many times recently.
Finishing 3rd and being relatively close in points to Liverpool and City is acceptable and should be the realistic goal to be honest. Scrapping for top 4 after potentially spending another £100m plus this window shouldn't be enough. We will basically be also rans for the Champions League at that point. No different to a Sevilla etc.I really wouldn't be expecting a title challenge next season. I think the aim would be a very comfortable third place finish.

I have a feeling the league will be a much tougher place next season and I fully expect Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea to be in much better shape. Getting CL football is so vital, it really is. If we miss out on CL then we likely miss out on the calibre of players that we need. I feel if this happens then Ole is a dead man walking going into next season. I realistically can't see us winning the EL so Sunday's game is so unbelievablely vital.
Agreed. It’s painfully obvious that we need some depth to the squad, so we certainly need some good transfer activity to build on what we have. We haven’t really got many options on the bench and that will always hurt us over the course of a season. You’d expect to narrow the gap next season.Totally.

He's been given almost 200m . Would you give Mourinho credit for top4 after spending that amount if he was still here. That said, I think what I would give him credit for is the signings, the players being behind him and the progress we've made overall from last seasonYes, but he will still deserve credit for getting us back into the top four, somewhere we haven’t been many times recently.
The signings are better than anything Mourinho managed, and it’s a young squad that has lots of room to grow. That’s pretty much the opposite of Mourinho’s general approach.He's been given almost 200m . Would you give Mourinho credit for top4 after spending that amount if he was still here.

Should just be all lingard jokes, all the timeThis joke isn't even funny anymore. I don't get why some are still saying it.
For me, we should spend the money , and try to improve next season, and get 10 or 15 more points , keep playing exciting football. If city get 102 PTS I'm not sacking ole if we made clear progress , it would be cutting off the nose to spite the faceFinishing 3rd and being relatively close in points to Liverpool and City is acceptable and should be the realistic goal to be honest.
