I actually felt bad for Ole this morning. It was tough to watch a man speak words you know he doesn't believe in at all. His disappointment was written all over his face.

Like the rest of us you could see he's been sold a lie but unlike the rest of us he has to now peddle another lie to the world about how he's happy with his lot.

We're not asking for Woodward and Co to do anything outside their job description here, we're just asking for highly paid executives to engage in some coherent forward planning. Scout players before they're worth £50m+, look for bargains (eg Liverpool and Thiago), get a director of football in to handle recruitment etc. None of this is an unreasonable expectation of people running a multibillion pound business.

Spot on Keano. - What a complete embarrassment from start to finish. They haven't got a clue what they are doing. The whole football world are pi**ing themselves laughing at us. Form top to bottom the club is a shambles, a disgrace, and a complete laughing stock. Why can't they just do what they are paid to do?

Why would anyone feel sorry for him.

He is getting paid millions to be a manager of United and if he was that concerned about running of the club or if he feels being let down then he should leave the club and tell the world how the club is being run! .

He isn't any saint and is loving life life right now just being the manager of the club.

Feel sorry for Ole.
FR confirmed that Sancho wants to join us, but the offer is no where near what Dortmund wants.

Some panic buys will be on the cards. Most likely Josh King.

TRD,

Ed002 and ED001 have both said that Utd isn't Sancho's preferred destination. i'm sure he is a Chelsea fan. I think if Sancho really wanted to leave Dortmund and join Utd he would have tried harder to get the the move to go through.

Hes agreed terms with utd that's enough for me he shouldn't have to force his way out its up to utd to agree a deal and he would be here this one is on utd for not putting the money up.

Singh i hope you meant that as a joke. I agree that Ole should be counting his lucky stars everyday but to suggest that he should throw his toys out and bad mouth the club is ridiculous. And how is that going to solve anything? we will be left with another hamstrung manager, but one who possibly does not care for the club as much as Ole does.

I don't feel bad for ole at all. I didn't feel sorry for the previous managers either.
Just get the best from what you have.
Since he came
Ole has been given
1. A England squad keeper and we have given ddg the best contract of any keeper in the world. Ole wanted him to stay.
A new rb
A new cb
Kept pogba at oles request
2 other new cm
1 new lw
1 new cf on loan
If we get a new lb and rw that's 9 new players plus 2 huge contracts.
Id would give him a new team at the cost of over half a billion.
Nah i don't feel sorry for him.
Ideally the 2 new guys rw and lb could have been here earlier but if they come its huge investment in 18 months. More than any other previous manager ever.
If they both don't come he will still be our highest spending manager.
Do the board Neff to buy 10 new players every 18 months to keep everyone happy?

If OGS quits or is sacked in this season he won't be getting another premier league job ever. I didn't feel sorry for him he was brought in as a yes man for a laughing stock of a board. We should all feel bad when you see Jose on Amazon prime tv changing tactics mid game and getting wins not like this lemon 😁😁.

Ken, The club overpriced Pogba as Ed said multiple times. Ole wants players who are totally committed to the club.

Signing average players is not what any managers want.
Everyone wanted top 4 and we achieved it. He has earnt the right to improve the squad.

But the reality is we cannot expect anything from the decision makers.
Jose wanted to close the gap at the top. But what did he get?
An average midfielder in Fred, an unproven Right back in Dalot and a third Choice Goalkeeper.
I mean seriously, which club does that?
Does this show any sort of ambition?

02 Oct 2020 15:53:31
Trd. Ole has said he wants pogba to stay. Is he a liar?
World record cb. oles man
World record rb oles man
Fenandes oles man
Vdb oles man
James oles man
Ighalo oles man
Henderson oles man
Lots of support there.

Ken, you're absolutely right. And with that backing, Ole finished 3rd last season.

Therefore, could it be said that he is making the best of it, given we were never expected to finish ahead of Liverpool and City?

Should of backed Jose . Oh i forgot he is not a yes man he is a world class coach and we didn't back him we would rather give the former Cardiff City Manager the funds . its messed up. No wonder Jose didn't buy a home in the area he didn't trust the board at all 😷😷.

Ken he's not going to come out and say he doesn't want pogba at the club is he.

Everyone knows he wants out but no one will pay what we want.

Walker actually cost more than wan bissaka, and looking back at it the price is peanuts as he is the best right back at defending in the prem,

If he can improve his forward play which having an actual right winger in front of him will only enhance his forward play.

Feranades should have been bought in the summer instead we done what we are doing with sancho now, dithering over a few million.

He waited a further 6 months to get fernandes.

Ole actually wanted halland and josh king but instead was left with ighalo or no one so was he really his man?

Vdb and henderson are fantastic players, young ans will be here when ole eventually gets sacked by the amatures who are leaving him out to dry.

And james was low risk he cost a low fee but has been thrown into the deep as he was never signed to be an instant starter but our lack of a squad forced him to play every game,

After coming from the championship the difference in class is clear, and i feel sorry for the poor lad, has had to go threw the pain of losing his dad aswell. And as usual the fickle united fans that we are give players that should be given more time a hard time.

But no dount most will get their wish in a few months when ole is sacked and then whay then.

Back to square 1. with the same issues.

A vicious circle.

Ken - i agree with you that Ole isn't the manager Man Utd should be having. if he can improve and prove me wrong, i will be delighted.
On the players being brought in, all of those bar ighalo improved the squad as a whole and gave it more balance. Apart from the players we got it, we also shifted quite a few and most of the new players are in the match day squad. So yes, he has imporved the team, and the style of play has imporved as a result. not always, but defenitely.

We are stil a long way short of being a team that can worry city or liverpool. that's what is wanted and you can't always go from a poor sqad to a world class one without buying in-between or stop-gap players.

Well ken you will prob get your wish come december. and then come 12 to 18 months later that manager will be gone.

Ken you will just have to keep your fingers crossed that we don't do well as a team, lose a load of games and you get your wish that things are that bad the manager gets sacked .

I don't want the team to lose jred. No more than you did when you wanted jose sacked. You felt the play was boring and that he was not suitable. Where you hoping the team would lose?
I always want the team to win. I don't believe ole will do that well enough in the long term so i think the sooner he leaves the better.
As i said above i don't expect that to happen as soon as i would like. The upside to that is that the team could well be doing very well and competing to win the league. If that happens ole will have done enough to change my opinion. So as far as that goes its a win win.
But if we don't do well and close the gap and improve significantly and he continues to keep his job then i will continue to want him to leave. At the moment i don't see any signs of significant improvement and i don't have any hope that we will. I don't belive ole is getting the best from what he has i don't see a cohesive unit in attack or defence. We have struggled recently scoring from open play i find it very boring and predictable.
If we improve start to compete and win things and i enjoy watching again my opinion will change and ill be able to say in hindsight that i was wrong. It wouldn't have been the 1st time i was wrong. i'm wrong on lots of stuff every day in every aspect of my life i'm sure.
But to suggest that i'd want the team to lose says a lot more about you and your mindset and thought process than it does mine. It very narrow minded and i can assure you wrong.
You are entitled to share your opinions which you do on the odd occasion.
You thought ole only took the post initially to boost his c. v. you changed that opinion and think he is doing well enough now to continue i hope he changes my opinion.
We differ on opinion on many things but wanting united to win is not one of them.
Id much rather be wrong on an opinion than see the team lose, in fact it would never even enter my thought process. I can't say for sure but i wouldn't like to think it entered yours when you wanted jose and lvg out.
