They just announced an exclusive Ole interview conducted by pooshited's in-house channel, MUTV or somesuch, and I'll be damned if that doesn't just perfectly encapsulate all that's wrong in what the club gives a drat about.

Appointing a temporary coach while you look for an interim manager before hiring a permanent manager over the summer is amazing. Wasn't ole an interim manager originally?

Yes and was appointed permanently after a new manager bounce akin to someone hurling a dense rubber ball at the surface of the moon and that in turn meaning Ed "Edward" Woodwardwardward didn't have to think too hard about a long term strategy or real appointment.

Everything about United is just fluff and "remember the SAF years? Busby Babes? phwoar" now.

To the point I'd be half tempted to bet they bring Sheringham in as the next guy. Since he got the equalizer.

honestly think bringing sheringham in first was their mistake. can't have the winner without the equalizer. let's sort out the order of operations here and ole will do better in his second stint

The rules should be changed. If a team has a manager like Ole then they should be forced to play with him for all 38 matches. Otherwise it distorts the competition.

What I'm saying is, Ole's sacking is terrible news....for Chelsea

Yes.

That said, Ole helped make the rope that hung him. You can't try and switch to controlled possession based football when your heart of midfield is still McFred. He tried to make an evolution without the transfers needed for it. It was a weird blind spot especially when it seemed to persist to the City match. He had a template for beating Pep and he tossed it out the window.

Oh noted deep lying playmaker/defensive midfielder Donny Van de Beek?

Were United ever tied to a deep-lying playmaker or defensive midfielder during the Ole years? It has seemed like such a massive obvious gap but I can't recall any big saga over one. The handwringing over Fernandes, Sancho and Maguire shows that the club will go through a hell of a lot of crap if they really value a player. Has there just been a dearth of good CMs on the market the past couple of seasons?

This is the club that paid 80m for Harry Maguire, Declan Rice would be a bargain at 250m on that scale.

Chiunque può essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett

gafferumours:

- Zinedine Zidane does not want to be manager and is waiting for the France job to open up

- Mauricio Pochettino does want to be manager to the extent that he may immediately resign from a job where he's managing Messi and Neymar in order to manage Harry Maguire

- Steve Bruce, who definitely retired last month because the Newcastle job was too demanding, would apparently take the United job if it was offered, and thinks he'd do well at it

this is where I need someone to stop me and explain, Father Dougal-style, the difference between things that I want to happen because they are objectively good ideas and things that I want to happen because they are quite funny
