It's the morning. He's gone according to reports. I'd like to thank him for one of the best away days, Man U 0: Cardiff City 2. The morning has been long coming.

Disappointing if true, thought he was doing a good job.

Usually my plastic man u mate would be texting me about city's fortunes, usually sarcastically. Not heard much from him this season even with our struggles.

While winning at Utd was good, Stoke this season and maybe even Forest were more enjoyable for me cos it meant something.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been sacked as Manchester United manager after an "embarrassing" 4-1 defeat at Watford.

Solskjaer signed a new three-year deal in July but leaves after overseeing five defeats in their last seven Premier League matches - a run which sees them 12 points behind leaders Chelsea.

They should've got rid of him a few weeks ago and gone after Conte before Spurs did.

Haha it's sometimes tempting.

I wonder who they get now, hopefully Gary Neville fancies another crack at management.

It’s the exact same thing he did at Molde, as he needed time to do at Cardiff, and is now doing at Man Utd.

Best manager ever at the club going by ability, but is still misunderstood by the lack of leadership at the top of the club. I’m so sad he won’t speak out about it. But some players have.

This thread I do symptomatic why Cardiff is”only” Cardiff..

Clueless manager, awful game management

Just months into a new 3 year deal. Phil Jones has 18 months left on his deal. Woodward makes Tan, Choo and Dalman look competent.

Re: Ole the Wally on his way - Solskjaer sacked. Confirmed

So,Ole’s gone. But where do all the players stand in all this? They are not bad players, a lot of them are internationals, but haven’t played that well. So why blame the manager. ? Shouldn’t the team also take some of the rap aswell ?

Interestingly, OGS had a higher win percentage than both Moyes and Van Gaal. Only Mourinho has had a better win percentage as United manager since Ferguson retired.

Re: Ole the Wally on his way - Solskjaer sacked. Confirmed

I’m amazed he lasted this long to be honest. Anyone who spunks £80 million on Harry Maguire needs a good sorting out to be honest. He’ll never manage in the Prem again and the only reason he’s been there so long is for nostalgia reasons. Seemed a nice guy but totally out of his depth like when he was with us. They will probably go for Zidane now which would be the most sensible appointment.

I remember the City home game in Division 2 in 1974 with United well. Their fans were given the whole of the bob bank and pretty much filled it as well (10000 ish ?). Some of them spent most of the game demolishing the walls at the back and around the floodlights and trying to lob the resulting ‘spare’ breeze blocks and bricks into to Grange End. Only to be returned with interest of course. United won by the way.

Spent more money and had better players at his disposal too. Even when winning their XG was often shit and so often they looked utterly clueless.

Europa league final was one of the more baffling performances I’ve seen. Especially in terms of not using subs.

Exactly, he spent a staggering half a billion quid on players! None of us know what he's like on a day to day basis but every single interview he gave left me with the opinion he was he was way way out of his depth.

He's like the bloke at work that get's promoted to do a job he's totally ill equipped to do.

Did he sign any of those players or did the club sign them? I somehow doubt he had much to do with signing any of them.

That’s not a defence of OGS, by the way. He was clearly way out of his depth. Nevertheless, I don’t think he was personally responsible for any of United’s major signings.

That’s why the board didn’t want to sack him, he was a yes man and they didn’t want another Mourinho or Van Gaal going public with the problems at the club.

That’s why they would never have gone for Conte.

Probably not as none of them were Norwegian!

But even if he had minimal input into the signings - he's had a wealth of talent come into the club that that he's failed to make the most of.

A manager that's learning English. The most sensible option.
