I've deliberately waited to post on yesterday's debacle as I didn't want it to be a knee-jerk reaction, but hard not to come to the conclusion that OGS has taken MUFC as far as he can. He's done well to change the toxic culture that existed under Mourinho, but that's more akin to the role of a Director of Football, something we lack and that he's probably better suited to because he does understand the ethos of the club. But when it comes to coaching, tactics, and in-game management he's clearly lacking compared to the top managers. A so-called elite club should have an elite manager, and OGS was never that, and it's obvious now, never will be.

I doubt the club will sack him now, and will instead wait until at least the tricky run of games is out of the way, no point putting additional pressure on a new manager, and then appoint a new manager before the January transfer window.


The problem is there isn't an obvious managerial candidate out there, lots of talk about Conte, but he's Mourinho 2.0 and a bad fit playing style wise. Rogers is probably the best of the PL managers that are attainable, but he's ex-Liverpool and still has a house there, would he want to come and/or would Utd fans accept him?

My leftfield choice would be Christophe Galtier at Nice who took Lille to the French championship last season, watched them yesterday come back from 2-0 down to beat Lyon and go third in the table with a game in hand, right style of football but ultimately a huge gamble...

A couple of recent snippets from the Manchester Evening News...



''Arnold 'holds talks' with Glazer over Solskjaer's future


Richard Arnold has held talks with Joel Glazer over Solskjaer's future today.


That's according to The Guardian who report that United's managing director, Arnold, is understood to have cancelled all appointments on Monday to hold crisis talks with Glazer.


Solskjaer is under serious pressure after Sunday's Liverpool debacle.''



''The latest on Solskjaer's future


It's all quiet on the western front. There has been no response from United to queries about the manager's position so far and there's no sign of black or white smoke, if familiar with how succession is signalled in the Vatican.


Given United have a free midweek, today would be the logical day off ahead of the Tottenham trip on Saturday. There are eerie parallels with the manner of Jose Mourinho's dismissal already: Sunday defeat to Liverpool and a suspiciously quiet Monday. Mourinho was sacked on Tuesday morning.''

MEN definitely running with OGS could go sooner rather than later...


''Manchester United are considering sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager.


The Manchester Evening News understands the club hierarchy is giving serious consideration to dismissing Solskjaer before United's next game at Tottenham on Saturday. United have failed to respond for comment on the manager's position.''



''Given the PR noises from players' camps and rumblings from United board today, this has moved faster than most expected. Solskjaer close to the edge and it all feels inevitable, albeit quite sad that it's come to this.''



''Latest on Solskjaer's future at United

If United follow through with the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it follows a pattern of the manager losing their job two days after their final match in charge.


Easter Monday delayed David Moyes's execution, Louis van Gaal's tenure ended with the FA Cup final and Jose Mourinho spent his Monday off in London before he was summoned to Carrington on the Tuesday and returned back to London later that day.


The noise around United is now quite ominous for Solskjaer. There are umpteen reasons for the 'delay' (if you can call it that) to the decision - provided United decide a change of manager is needed.


There is the manager's compensation to finalise, a potential interim coach has to be identified, and, most crucially of all, a permanent replacement. Decisions have to be made over which coaching staff members are retained and released from their contracts. There is a lot to plough through.''

I was reading his Wiki page. Ironically he left Lille because he thought he had taken them as far as he could.

No need for Moyes, Rice and Soucek will do though, IMO the best Defensive Midfield pairing, although that label does them a big disservice, as they offer much more than that.


A shame WH probably won't be at full-strength tonight, reckon on current form they would give MC a game and could even beat them...

Yep, perhaps a disguised dig at the Lille board and a lack of investment/selling their best players...

Doing so well in Europa League atm that Moyes may well be resting players but be nice to do the Manchester double.

Oh, Nuno is no more.

A bit harsh, same problem at Utd, a board that continuously makes errors in the appointment of managers yet never held to account.

Spurs had a good manager in Poch but wouldn't back him in the transfer market.

Appointed Mourinho, that was only going to end one way.

Appointing Nuno who they didn't really want.

The Kane transfer fiasco, that turned out well.

All on the board and Levy in particular, yet he'll remain...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
