Only five? Watford's had three times as many managers in the same approximate eight seasons. You can see where that got them only yesterday!

 

 

 

 

Yes, Watford 4.....ManU 1????????????????

Donny scored the last goal of Ole era. How ironic.

What Manchester United can expect from Michael Carrick as interim manager, Dont answer that

Wayne Rooney focused on Derby after being linked to the Manchester United interim manager position

Bye Ole, enjoy the 7,9 Million.

I think he would have taken the PL over 7.9 million

I don't think Solskjaer did himself any favours when he stated on Ronaldo leaving Juventus "Ronaldo isn't picked by a club, he picks the club where he wants to go". What sort of signal does that send to the United squad? That they should feel blessed that they are sharing the same dressing room as him?

I have never been able to understand why DVB hasn't played more games, because from the few highlights I've seen, he is a very intelligent player and has the ability to be able to slot through-balls to the forwards when they are running off the shoulder of the defenders, which is a rare talent, and which Fernandes also has when he is "on song".

 

Not only that, other players and European managers raved about him before the transfer to United, so what happened??

Maybe Norwegians and Danes don't get on well (joking) but there's something amiss there and we may never know what it was, and it will be interesting to see if DVB gets more game time with a new manager.

 

Also time to clear out the dead wood, which is something I've stated many times here and at least get some money for them whilst they are still able to play, even in a lower division.

 

As for Brendan Rodgers, well I really don't see him as the answer and IMO if United appoint him, they are jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

If United appoint a new manager dont they have to inform the New York stock exchange 9 days in advance

I dont think so, Nobody back in Manchester is putting any blame on Ronaldo, the people I talk too

Quite an interesting perspective here from Paul Merson. He reckons Ronaldo's arrival threw Ole's plans out of the window

I reckon it did and I also think thats the reason Sancho has not been getting much game time, Ronaldo was never in the equation until last minute

That and the lack of penalties, seriously, only one this season, and 17 the season before, 22 the season before that. Banker every year until now

That's probably because Ronnie has pushed Penandez out of prime conning diving position

And they missed that one as well????

Apparently Ole said United will win the PL next year as he says the 2 times he left Molde they won the league the next year, so he thinks he's a good luck omen. Beyond laughable, Does he still believe in Oden or something

I got a shock this morning when I looked on the United website to hear comments from Michael Carrick.......... 

 

He was saying that he and Ole agreed on just about everything with regards to the team and selection, that they thought alike and were very similar in their ways!!!!!

 

I thought Jeez, not more of the same.........United need a complete change and should take their time looking for the right manager, and as I said before, Brendan Rodgers is not it.

In another quote Carrick says he has his own ideas, Top and bottom of it is United didnt have a plan B I 100% agree with you the lot should be gone but who would run the team? It would be down to the academy coaches might have done a better job.

Im also not impressed by Brenda Rogers 

Right now Im to pi$$ed off to even think about who could be the manager 

It's a dangerous game the Glazers and Woodward are playing letting Carrick take over and wanting to bring a interim manager until the end of the season then maybe the manager they wanted is not available same as Conti saga.

Then look at the players situations, Cavani is gone Lingard can walk, Pogba can go you can add a few more names to that list I dont know how true this is but if United dont make the CL this season Ronaldo has it in his contract to leave,

Ive just heard BR is bollicks United are not interested

Rumour has that it, that  the owners, Woodward and the board have approached Mike Bassett.

 

P.S. I have been a United supporter since 1956 and never in my memory have I been so disillusioned by the board and direction of the football team I have followed all these years.

Shame on you Glazers, Woodward and board.

Was far from perfect.

 

Two things stuck out - the fitness of the boys, Villareal looked out on their feet by about 70 minutes. And the determination to stick together. 

 

Tough times make you stronger.

who's this Merson guy, did he win anything worth mentioning..... without Ronaldo where would MU be, would they have qualified in the CL for next round, I doubt but.......

You just need to find a way how to play Ronaldo in this team, he is so fit for his age but he will not run a lot. .  
Not sure Carrick is the right man , but he did made some changes last night that worked.

Can't see him being in charge for a few games. Apparently there is a five man shortlist for the interim role and I expect them to appoint someone soon. All people that know what they are doing (in theory)
