What then? Sack them and move onto someone else again? |

The truth is there are no guarantees in football, ever. Every single managerial appointment is a gamble. Ferguson came with a bagful of trophies and still struggled for years. So did LVG & Mourinho, and they didn't work out. So maybe Pochettino or Allegri would be a success, maybe not, but the only thing we can be sure of is that it would mean starting all over again, and that it would take time. Nobody is going to come in and be an instant success, it's just not going to happen. And since everyone agrees the biggest problem is Woodward and the Glazers, that means we all agree it would likely take a while to see success again. During that waiting period, the same ones would be demanding the head of the manager again. And suddenly United are Everton, thinking maybe this year... At some point you have to stick with someone and give them a fair crack. I actually agree with much of the criticism of Ole, but would like to see him given longer, because there are positive signs, and because I'm just not convinced by the potential replacements. I just don't see anyone jumping out as an obvious candidate. |

I’ve no idea. No-one does, including Woodward and owners. It’s hit and hope. |

I believe fixing United’s problems is a very difficult job, and that whoever undertook to do it would be facing similar problems - not guaranteed, but likely. I like aspects of what he’s doing and think it’s well worth giving him the time to see if it works. I also think that as few as 2 or 3 players could leapfrog us forward massively in quality so we’re not talking years before we see meaningful progress. I may be wrong but I think it’s worth being patient and seeing what he can do. Fell free to respond how it’s evident he’s the worst manager in the history of the world and the stupidest human since neanderthal times now. |

If we didn’t have a manager at all, I think not a single United supporter would have an issue with admitting that fixing our problems would require a massive shift out of players we know aren’t up to it, and the recruitment of 7 or 8 quality additions at the least, which would probably take 2-3 years minimum.
The problem Ole has is that actually having a manager trying to do just that allows the focus of all the angst, frustration and impatience with that process to fall on one head. Then it becomes the same old cycle. |

There is no evidence that Ole is the man to do this. To say otherwise is nonsensical. If we had've lost to City and Spurs, he would have been sacked which a lot of people are forgetting including yourself and pat-a-cake-b. Quote:

“Check mate”? So you lot want Ranieri now huh? How long before you’re calling him Fraudio - the standard 6 months, or does he get longer because he was Sparky/Koppas approved? |

You asked a question about when has a manager taken a team from nothing to winning things within six months - and sparky gave you a knockout blow. Take it on the chin and move on. You're windmilling aots. |

But we also can't ignore the fact that he didn't win anything and is basically a Spurs reject. And again, it would be starting all over again and after 18 months of up and down results you'd all be calling for his head, too. Quote:
