How long has Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got ?

I look at it like the last few weeks of us under Adkins when we played/defended like a disgrace most weeks. We were clearly better than we were, but something was wrong and they were just not playing for the manager. United look the same, plenty of good players but just not doing it.Croydon said:Those players are an absolute disgrace. OGS clearly has to go, but wtf can you do when Maguire is behaving like that and the other defenders refuse to make any sort of challenge
I think any new manager gets them playing better than Ole.4 -
Blimey, can you imagine a side like Man United going away to Watford and getting thrashed like that 10-20 years ago? There would have been hell to pay.
Man United was always one of those clubs where the intimidation factor was at its highest if you came up against them after they’d had a shock defeat. You knew you would get annihilated.They were never a club that ever seemed to be in ‘bad form’. If they had 1-2 iffy results, it was rectified immediately. There was no alternative.
Many of these players they have now are seemingly made up of the likes who feel like they’ve made it just by getting the move to United and then aren’t too bothered what else happens. Disgraceful.0 -

If He's tweeted it then it's a done deal2

Just why did it take five hours to decide.
Im one of the least in favour of sacking Managers on here, especially when its partly down to players downing tools. But like Adkins form, how can you survive when you have just lost 4-1 at Watford of all places... No disrespect to them of course, but thats a side who got thumped 5-0 by Liverpool just a few weeks ago.0 -
That’s what I was thinking when I read an report mentioning that they had a ‘three’ hour meeting. What the hell are they even talking about for that long!ForeverAddickted said:Just why did it take five hours to decide.

The meeting wouldn’t have simply been shall we sack him yes or no. Is his coaching staff being kept on, who will be caretaker, is there a shortlist of managers, compensation etc. I can see why it took between 3-5 hours8

I get it’s a much more complicated decision than just a simple yes/no - but 3 - 5 hours is a very long time.Be interesting to be a fly on the wall and see the topics covered and how a meeting like that is structured.0

How long was the meeting with Thomas, Roddy etc after the last game under Atkins that was several hours wasn't it. And Nigel didn't score "that goal".
It got as far as Joel after the city game but Fergie talked him out of it.0 -

Now confirmed as being sacked.0

Who will they go for? Saw rumours of them trying to get ZiZou in but will he want it?0

Just seen on SSN that are looking to get an interim manager until the end of the season.0

Will they give it to Fletcher or Carrick then?ricky_otto said:Just seen on SSN that are looking to get an interim manager until the end of the season.0 -
I thought results and winning were not important to Man U ? Why bother replacing a club legend.0

Because the fans turned on him yesterday. Really for the first time, a booing old Trafford isn't a marketable product.ShootersHillGuru said:I thought results and winning were not important to Man U ? Why bother replacing a club legend.0 -
Well they can't give it to giggsy can they....sam3110 said:

American owner appoints former player as caretaker manager and, months later gives him the role full-time, only to see a disastrous string of results culminating in the decision to sack him, months later.
Couldn't happen here could it?0 -
Carrick for now I think but the suggestion in the statement was that he's an interim interim!sam3110 said:

Liverpool at half-time was seemingly the first real time. Although at full-time it weirdly wasn't as bad. I thought he'd go after that and then certainly after City. Daft not to sack him over the International break.Cafc43v3r said:

The fans turned because of the results though didn’t they. Not because they’re realising that United are becoming less marketable. Of course results are important and winning to the owner matters.Cafc43v3r said:

Them mattering and being the primary driver of the business are two completely different things.ShootersHillGuru said:

No idea how true that is but it highlights one issue they have - there's usually a fair few managerial changes after World Cups/Euros as its the end of a 'cycle' of international football, but this year a) the Euros and World Cup are close together so managers are wanting to stay on for the latter, and b) the 2022 World Cup isn't in the summer, it's mid-season.SELR_addicks said:
Can't see them waiting a full year for a Luis Enrique or Mancini etc, and I can't see managers who've qualified for the World Cup wanting to leave.
Maybe Mancini if they lose on the playoffs I guess.0 -
Winning is apparently not the main driver. Why would they want to appoint the best out there ? Preposterous.0

Mentioning Man utd and Cafc in the same post is funny even in your high standard of witty rhetorical questions.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge for 36 months, which last time I checked was 3 years.

If winning was the main driver they would sign the players the team actually needs, as oppose to the ones that can sell the most shirts.ShootersHillGuru said:Winning is apparently not the main driver. Why would they want to appoint the best out there ? Preposterous.
Finish 3rd or 4th and go on a nice money spinning trip to Asia or the US and everyone ones a winner.0 -
Better get JJ tied down to a new deal pronto, TS.3

Interesting. But, of course, I didn't mention Man Utd!soapboxsam said:Chizz said:American owner appoints former player as caretaker manager and, months later gives him the role full-time, only to see a disastrous string of results culminating in the decision to sack him, months later.

Very true you didn't Chizz.
I made the mistake of thinking that as it was posted on the " How long has Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got ?" it was about him and the International brand of Manchester United.
