TALK TRU

[@MrBerksboy]

Stephen made some very good points and there are a few things else, Firstly, i understand you can't have a team without coaches but according to Ole, Carrick and McKenna are the coaches so i'm very surprised they weren't sacked along with Ole and also Phelan as all four of them are an equal part management team and rumours coming out some players are surprised only Ole was sacked. Now if Ole had decent coaching staff and i know he called Carrick, McKenna and Phelan world class and personally he couldn't have been further from the truth would the team have performed better? for me getting rid of Ole hasn't changed anything and i guess we'll see over the coming weeks. Secondly, stop listening to ex United players turned pundits, they've left, there the past, there recommendations have got us to this, mainly Ferdinand talking garbage, have an interim yes but then get a full time manager (back then) now it's get a full time manager NOW don't let Carrick go on for weeks or months and thirdly what is it with hiring all these ex United players, coaches, technical this and technical that, get rid of them all, United are all mates at board level and there all mates at football level, this is why the club are failing and failing big, this isn't a mates only club this is one of the biggest football clubs in the world and should be treated accordingly.

Finally someone speaking logic. Ole never deserved the job. He was an interim for a reason. His Molde job wasnt important enough. So they brought him here.

As far as Moyes goes, he is also miles better than Ole right now, but when he signed for United he was absoultely clueless.

[@dsk3422]

I think when the board signs players they look at their marketability first rather than his attributes and potential chemistry with the existing team. Sooner or later with most mid table clubs becoming more ambitious Man Utd will fall behind in which they become less attractive for sponsors or any money potential signings. If the bankers at the board don’t see this now with what’s going on in the league then I say they’re pretty stupid.

Warnock brings up many good points. For me, this current situation has been made much more complex by one single result: the away Win vs PSG and the decision to stay with Ole as a result. People say United missed out on Conte but really, they missed out on many including Tuchel who was on a 2 year contract at PSG that ran out in 2020. United also need better decision makers above management, people who lead with their brains, not emotions. Re: the current squad. Think back to the way the team performed in the first match of the season. There were MANY pundits discussing United being real title challengers. That statement obviously looks daft now but the point is we saw how good the team could be if they put in an honest shift working together as a TEAM.

The "we've turned the corner" crap is more relief than reality. Worse is the ineptitude of so many players who get further off the mark of quality, and have been found out. This training staff who look pitifully out of touch as each game has been played. At the present time, the club are in disarray, a shambles, with players downing boots to place the blame on another person, while removing the responsibility they should own, attempting to pull the wool over the obvious, utter failure to produce quality on the field......A name exists....what used to Manchester United no longer rings powerful as the entire system has collapsed, with to many ex players shoring up the manager whose decisions have produced even worse outcomes. Ole was given way too long, the players he has, too much credit, the results and outlook abysmal. Talk now of red nose being director of football.....STOP IT, he had his day, as have this brand.

Overall they haven't even attempted to find a way to make it work with certain players just instead leave them out because they rely on a rigid formation.

[@millmoormichael6630]

Would Klopp have brought in Ronaldo? No, not really. Why? He’s not that mobile anymore plus and he can’t defend. The whole of Liverpool’s front line defends all the way to Mo Salah. It’s total football at maximum, everyone defends everyone attacks. 💪

[@Fortniteclipz2014]

No sympathy personally from me on Ole. I remember when he took the job at United and he constantly kept criticising mourinho and how he did at the club. I'm not a fan of mourinho either but I know who I'd rather have at my club in terms of success. It's like getting a nurse to perform a heart transplant ole was just way out of his depth. Nice guy tho and good luck to him

[@atmeshwarsingh]

Thanks for the thrashing Watford ⚫⚪🟡

[@Javameister]

It's actually the one thing since Ole took over that I have totally forgotten about and haven't herad too much about from media or other fans, and that is that we are living in the past. Under previous managers it's been the frontrunning talking point.

[@d-law868]

Ole Gunnar is easily bottom 3 among PL managers tactically

[@Bullabee]

The problem I think it’s will have is ego ever takes the manager’s role next will unfortunately have the same problem…at least 3 or more players need to leave the club!

[@ShambaniFarm]

You don't fire a manager for loosing a game against an arch rival. So getting rid of him after Liverpool game would in my opinion have been too early. The season was still there to finish in good position.

[@ajc1482]

All I can see from Oles "highlights" is zero trophies.

[@billyshears7631]

Ole looked defeated in thee last few premier matches, he lost the lads weeks ago. he should’ve been sacked then.

[@trojanman4715]

He's lost the players lots of times before but all the pundits like Gary would blame the players whenever things start going bad so the players just had to bare it and kick on. No more excuses for Ole after bringing players like Ronaldo and Varrane though.

[@Rocky0Road]

Players threw in the towel just like the spurs players

[@anurag1588]

Forget about Ole. Journalists need to start doing journalism.

[@NeilsView]

Fair play to Warnock. I'm a blue, third of four generations, grew up on the Kippax. My old man used to call them (utd) the "big heads" and they were and still are. If you've signed for the club just outside of Mamchester(!), youv'e got a big pay packet and a lot to live up to, and even though I am a"bitter blue / noisy neighbour" these guys don't deserve to wear that shirt but think they do. Exactly as it runs, OGS never going to make it. A lucky twist in some games got him some success but not in others. Chelsea are the same, bit of luck but all the history books say is who won, not how poor they really were. Who wants to go to OT next, poisoned chalice me thinks and happy for that to continue. Still only one team in Manchester, check with the council!

Meh I don’t agree with Stephen to a degree, I think he is being a bit harsh. The PSG win was incredible, especially after not having a great season.

Put this young lad in the United board , is embarrassing how Manchester United have fallen under current board .

Appreciate Steve calling out our mediocre board with no bias or fence sitting. the Glazers’ intentions for this football should be questioned - the media, pundits can’t overlook the pit these owners have dragged our club into anymore

[@drcharlierojas4730]

We cannot live on past glories. The Manchester United Board of Directors made the right decision. Changes are necessary, when something or someone does not work well. We hope that the new coach knows how to take advantage of the qualities of each player and that he exposes a more productive strategy.

[@John-wz7yu]

It was a great idea too bring in Ole as an interim manager but giving him the job on full time basis was a massive error of judgement, ,

[@dazediss6629]

I thought that was Lee Hendrie at first….. but it’s Sue.

There's a reason why Ole's a manager and Stephen is a presenter in Sky Sports.

[@thetrappedchatterbox7941]

Solskjaer being made permanent came off the back of a seriously impressive run. How could anyone not give him a chance when you've had proven winners in Mourinho and Van Gaal get sacked and destroy the club morale in the process? It's very easy to make definite remarks after the lad turned out to be below par, but at the time he was worth a chance. The difference he made was massive. As for money spent, why do people always harp on like it was money spent exactly where it should have been? If you need a spoon for a bowl of soup and someone buys you a knife instead it's hardly smart to argue that a knife is just as good because money was spent on it. He wasn't good enough, hadn't been for a long time and probably never should have had the job, but what he did as interim manager was good enough to believe that he could be something worthwhile.

[@paulconway8596]

They were under no pressure to give Ole a contract after Paris, why not wait until the end of the season? They got caught up in the hype and acted too soon.

[@amdistant5547]

What I don't understand is people are mentioning Pochettino as the new Man Utd manager, so what are his credentials ? What has he won ? And this sums up football, it's just a merry go round, one manager gets fired and gets a better job, and another one does crap and takes the place of the first manager, and on and on. I think Ranieri at Watford has better credentials than Pochettino.

[@myksstudios25]
