I don't because I think we may discover that TM can not only survive death spirals but can survive them when we lose by big margins

Not many of the england boys are hitting a good level thus season after the Euros

Fans can't boo him if there's no fans in the stadium. Maybe that's waggots plan so Tony can do his job uninterrupted.

Christ but I assume he talks to his staff. I bet he's proper awkward whenever he's asked anything "Tony, what's the time?" "as I say, I'm not a clock so I can't be sure" "Tony, can you boil me some water" "there's a certain journey you need to go on and unfortunately I don't have a PHD in chemistry so that's not something I'll be able to do at the moment so we've just got to put it behind us and move on"

I thought you were doing a parody quote before I clicked that you'd quoted his actual words

So who's favourite to take the CB slot? Buckley or Gallagher? Where's Bennet when you need him

I've seen the happy chappy Facebook brigade shrugging it off because Fulham are a Premier League side (clearly not as they got relegated). It's frustrating when you first hear it but gets worse when you think about it some more how many times have league 2 / conference teams drawn a PL team in a cup comp and kept it tight or even held for a draw. Ryan Nelsen and his New Zealand amateurs held Italy to a 1-1 draw at the world cup, they didn't role over and take it because iTaLy R rEaL gUd. Passion desire and grit cost nothing and that starts at the top. That man on the touchline displays non of it so why would the team

This could be it for Tony, just the 2 year contract extension after this!

Too bloody right!

He didn't wow me at Arsenal

I've no issue with that. Managers are rarely shown loyalty by clubs so there should be no expectation for managers to turn down other opportunities.

Under poch I wanted them to get a trophy so much and its being highlighted now what a great job he did. I don't think many fans wanted him gone. Sacking Jose the week before the league Cup final was criminal and I have no sympathy for the club.

Agreed. The way they treated Bruce was awful. Bruce did a good job with the tools available. Also when they got taken oven, every toon fan I know (and I'm unfortunate enough to know a lot) said the goal was just to survive this season then start building in the summer so many would be happy with a temp manager to keep them up. Two of the first names you think of in that situation? Big Sam and Bruce. If Martinez is the favourite there's no guarentee they'll stay up. Massively overated as a club manager I like Moyes, I think he's a great manager. It didn't worn out at Manchester United (but no one has) he's one of those managers who plays a style that suits the players he has. He may have played boring football at times but that's because he had players that suit that style. Give him a few flair players and see what he's doing.

Don't think anyone cared about sticking the boot into the previous managers and getting them sacked but because ole stuck a toe out 22 years ago he's untouchable to many

I don't get the hate for the glazers so much. They may make a profit from the club but they've not exactly cut the purse strings. Over £1bn spent on the squad since fergie left I believe. How it has been spent can possibly be criticised but is that the glazers or is that the manager / whatever Woodward role is? They've signed some duds but ultimately the squad assembled is actually pretty class. If the glazers aim is to get man utd past the group stages of CL that's pretty good. Once you're in the knockout phases you've got every chance of winning it.

Which is odd because as Carragher (I think?) pointed out to him. He will sit there and say "[player] is not good enough to play for Manchester United" or "we need a clear out and to get a new defender/midfielder/forward in." He would call for a player on a horrendous run of form to be dropped or possibly even replaced if he was unlikely to ever turn it around yet somehow the same doesn't apply to the manager?

Tell you who I think would do a good job at man utd if ole goes - Brendan Rogers

Not Gallagher?!?!?

I thought Lampard was hard done by at the time but think they did him a massive favour. Lampards reputation with Chelsea fans is intact. Oles is in the gutter whereas lampard was never given the chance to get to this point.

That United squad should be challenging for the title no doubt about it. But I wholeheartedly agree that they should stick with Ole for atleast the next 5 years...

All part of the journey

Oles face after the 4th goal was priceless, he knows what's coming

It'd be a poor half from Liverpool for it to be just 6

In any other situation I'd agree but I'd love someone to get Ronaldo sent off

Just said to my inlaws who are Liverpool fans that they don't want to put too many past them in case they sack ole and get a decent manager.
