In the last few years multiple top level managers have been available, yet the club's sentimental arrogance has ignored them. Three weeks ago Conte was available. Now, should they finally make a decision, they will not find many, if any, good choices available. Unless the club are prepared to pay out to take someone in a job I fear they will again miss a trick and appoint another ill matching fit.

How can the club not look at what it has been doing and ask questions of the decision makers? They have just set up an old boys club and it is going to take more than a manager to make a difference, although things can improve notably on the pitch.

Why is everyone assuming he’ll be sacked?! We’re a soap opera not a football Club!

It amazes me that fans can aim so much vitriol towards a former player that served the Club with distinction yet can’t seem to understand that the soap opera continues because those in charge choose to keep him in place.

This is no longer Ole’s fault. It’s the inability of decision makers that have no business being in charge of a football Club.

The distinction nobody wants to make is that Ole cares. He’s a fan of the Club just like us. He’s hurting but our absent owners and CEO don’t give a dam. Let’s not forget they wanted to join a European Super-league in order to make these games insignificant so they could continue printing money without reproach. Woodward even denied all knowledge!

Ole had sadly proven woefully short but let’s not make him the enemy.

OLE is a product of the ongoing failings at the club. The poor structure, appointing poor coaches to help him and most of all not realising he is woefully out of his depth.

Until the club change sits structure and has people who know how to run a football club, then the club will continue to go round in circles.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Phelan put in charge until the end of the season. It certainly fits the club ethos of promoting from within.

If Ole genuinely cared about the club, he’d quit. He has proven completely incapable of managing at this level and has spent hundreds of millions on players that he cannot get to perform. He could take the decision out of their hands, but he won’t because his only goal is save his own skin.

Absolutely agree Danny Pughnited, if he really cared about anything or anyone but himself then he’d walk away from the mess he has been a part of creating.

Cannot believe that anyone can actually want solskjaer as our manager for a second longer.

No excuses for what is happening. He’s been backed and excused and supported beyond any sensible reasoning.

You know we’re in trouble when we’re pleading with the manager to quit to prove he cares for the Club because the ones above him won’t sack him. We basically want Ole to quit because the incompetents above him gave him a three year contract and don’t want to pay him off. So despite taking millions out of the Club on the back of signing Ronaldo we now want Ole to step aside to save them money and from a decision they refuse to make. Welcome to Manchester United.

Couldn’t give a toss about the money!

I just want him to quit because he’s useless!

End of!

Make any excuse you want. If he genuinely gave a toss he’d be on his way. Obviously his main priority is to himself.

I don't agree Danny, he was a striker, and strikers have to believe in themselves, even when the evidence doesn't support it. I believe he cares, but he also believs he can turn it around, no matter the evidence against him.

I think you may have confused the word striker with the word delusional.

Ok Eric you win. He’s a mercenary, an utterly useless, incompetent, horrible individual who only cares about himself. If that’s the case then I have absolutely no idea why you’d expect him to quit anyway. I suppose he’ll just have to be sacked when somebody can finally make a decision. Guess it really is on Ed and Joel after all. Oh dear!

Lol I never used the word horrible at all or mercenary.

And I have no expectations of him quitting, as I stated.

That’s why I said his main priority, not only priority, but main priority is to himself.

We have different opinions, I’ll try read every post properly and respond accordingly. But I will always try to ensure to understand the post I’m replying to.

Of course he does Thorn and as if anyone on this site would just walk away from their dream job and millions in compensation.

Who knew there are so many righteous and honourable people posting on these pages. I’m tired of the nonsense rhetoric being regurgitated over and over. Did Dean Smith, Nuno, Steve Bruce or Daniel Farke just decide they weren’t good enough.

Of course not, football clubs are supposed to be able to make competent decisions without relying on the manager to tell them he’s not good enough. We’re all upset but If this is now the level of debate on these pages I want no further part of it.

Ok sorry Eric I think you called him useless, suggested he doesn’t give a toss and only cares about himself. Are these just not other descriptions of the words mercenary and horrible?! Anyway can’t believe I’m still engaging, like you said it’s all about opinions and I understand your post perfectly.

Maybe the reason he hasn’t quit is because he knows he the better option of the person in line to take over in such circumstances.

DLIB yes I did describe him as useless, and said he doesn’t give a toss. If he did he’d walk away from what to everyone is a bad job being done

I agree with you that the rot starts at the top, in fact I’ve said so in past posts.

To be part of the regime that is slowly destroying the club I’ve supported for over 40 years and to proclaim to love the club as the supporters do, in my opinion, means he doesn’t understand the real feeling of the many millions of supporters who love the club, for those whom it is more than an income or a means to an end.

The people like us, everyone on this site, and the many millions who don’t take from Manchester United, but give to them.
