#SOO Save Our Olé Season III.....Ole, The Trilogy.....We've Failed.....Thank You Ole.

Agree - he might survive this battle but the war is lost.

The consolation is that as it stands there is no good options for them. I see Rodgers as the best manager who would take the job. The fact he was a dipper will always niggle them especially given they will go from club legend to Liverpool cast off. But he is a decent coach who runs a tight ship.

If they go for Zidane then all he knows is Real Madrid - he would be a terrible appointment.

Lets see.

Am I making this up, or is my memory correct in that CR37 and Zidane are no longer best of mates ? As Zidane made the decision that CR37 would no longer be first name on the team sheet ?

Zidane comes across a bitter and miserable sod. He has only ever managed Real Madrid a job he got based on club legend status. What could go wrong.
 
The craven defeatism of many on this thread is disgraceful. Don't forget, OLE IS STILL AT THE WHEEL and the powers that be at OT have the sense to see that he is the best man for the job. That job is to put Manchester United well and truly where they belong and we share that vision. It is as well to remind ourselves and everyone else that SAF - blessed be his name - had seven years of abject failure before success. Ole has only had three! He is entitled to at least four more before questions are asked. Ant two more points in favour of Ole: in his first seven years SAF never presided over a meeting with the champions in which his United team's performance eclipsed that of the European champions, and yet Ole is pillories for doing exactly that. The second point is that SAF - blessed be his name - spent heavily to create at least two teams which City walloped before the heavier than heavy spending of 1992-3 finally chanced on a team of all stars which finally won the title. Ole has, as yet, only been allowed to waste a relatively modest half a billion, so, therefore not only has four years left, but must also be allowed another billion at least before it's fair to say he isn't going to get the good times rolling again. Let's shout it loud and clear - we believe Ole is the right man to take Manchester United into a different league.

Give Ole time, remember GPC. Don't forget the rags are not a sacking club.
 
I think the paperboy and the club need a run of less competitive fixtures to build morale. Obviously the FA will try and give them half a dozen easy games in the cup but progress isn't guaranteed.
The clear solution is for them to lose very game and get the potentially less competitive matches in the Championship next season. This stops us wanting them to win games while still supporting the gnome.
And the club should allow him to start building for next season immediately so they have no excuse to sack him.
I know they pissed the old second division in 74-75 but relegation will solve many of their current issues.

My unpopular opinion is that Zidane is actually not a great manager at all and was carried through his time at Real by his ridiculous world class players doing incredible individual feats to snatch a lot of later winners, not a million miles away from Solsskjaers tactics just with a much better squad who were pretty self-governable because of the turnover at Madrid.

I dont think they were the best side in Europe in any of the years they won it, but they did win it, so who cares I guess.

I suspect he will never manage a club again and if he does, it will go poorly.

I’m hoping he goes to United. It would be the best appointment from our point of view. I just think Zidane is intelligent enough to realise that he’d fail badly at United. Nothing will change at that club until they completely gut everything related to Fergie and ban their ex players from putting their noses in all the time.

Zidane will never come to the rags or English football for that matter.

He is only interested in two jobs, PSG or National manager.

Rodgers for the rags, big decision for him if rumours are to be believed, does he wait for Pep and us or try is luck at that cess pit and destroy his career?

Similar could be said for Ferguson in many ways, as a football 'tactician' at least. He won loads because he knew how to man manage and get wins out of a team of top players he was blessed with, along with a little help from his friends. A highly successful manager all the same, and zidane will be seen as that too. A 'winner', and teams that he takes on will probably buy into that and het that bit of extra belief out if it.

I think he would do a better job at Utd than many others if im honest.
