In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Harsh but I’m inclined to agree with the first part. Just more blindly fumbling around trying to find a solution. Want Jose gone and don’t back him in the summer? Fire him and get a manager in and give him funds. It’s hard to be positive about united at the minute and anything less than a few wins and this place turns bad again calling for Woodward’s head and hating on an absolute club legend who’s out of his depth with a squad that has proven that it will stop playing for a manager if things don’t go right. Not the best.
First Trick is to get a real genuine United man at the helm of the ship, with a positive character to boot at that, good move.20legend ~
We always will have wums or supporters of other clubs trying to be wind up merchants here. Yes I want him to win every game. I wanted Jose it win every game but even if we lose, I am confident Ole is going to make the players give everything and play like a Manchester United team.
He will soon find out who is fit to wear the red shirt and who is not fit.

Wow the drama in this thread.
Yeah it's pretty weird. But it's visible. The guy can't run. The question is whether he can adjust his game to remain useful. Does he intend to even?
I'm willing to give him the same benefit of the doubt I give to others at present. It can't be a coincidence that almost the whole squad seem bereft of form or confidence at the same time. I'm not overly optimistic though when it comes to Alexis.
Nothing will ever be as bad as Mourninho. He literally turned this place into a war zone.
Ffs..
would ya cheer up and at least have a bit of hope! It won't hurt, I promise.It really is not drivel. You can all live in a fantasy that Solskjaer is going to reignite the fire of this club and start playing amazing free flowing attacking football. The man has zero experience at the top level and will struggle to give stability to the club until a full time manager arrives.
The club should have analysed the Mourinho situation better and tried to bring in a caretaker with more pedigree than being a legend player for the club.
I am happy Mourinho is gone, but I am right to be realistic and be sceptical of the club hiring Solskjaer to be caretaker. I love the guy as a player but this move by the club is very risky.
That sneer against Juventus turned me off from Jose completely. It is one thing to shout or have an argument or even swear but sneering with that face is not for a Manchester United Manager. Ole has changed this atmosphere completely with his first interview. He said it is not about him but about the club and we know it is coming from his heart and not a PR stunt.
Ffs..
Don’t get me wrong I am happy Mourinho is gone, but I am right to be sceptical of this appointment. It stinks of desperation and makes the board of this club appear clueless. Also see my previous post above.
We shouldn’t just have blind optimism without being realistic about this situation.
Oh dear.
If any of our players haven't been able to perform because A. the set-up was too defensive B. not designed to get the best out of them. C. the manager (who I highly rated) turned out to be extra-ordinarily negative and confidence-sapping, well now's there chance. Regardless of Ole's experience, or lack of it, they are going to get the chance to show what they can do. Play. Attack. The way United are supposed to.
Forget about Ole. Even without a manager all the players on their own could very well manage to be in the current position and hold on to this position. Bringing in Ole with Phelan is a brilliant idea. It gives them time to suss out the new manager for the summer and at the same time bring in a feel good factor. No big time manager is going to come for just 6 months. And we do not want the Big Sams, Arry Redknapps or the Moyeses to come to United.
Let's actually wait till after we actually play a game under the new management lads.
Will that ever happen? People will always have something to moan about, unfortunately.
Doesn’t hurt to be a little optimistic. Watched his interview and was superb. Said all the right things. I want him to do well. And for the first time in a while I’m looking forward to our next game.
@The holy trinity 68 killed this thread. Well done
Please don't crucify him.
The first reply killed it, mate. The very first reply.
They don't get it. They're trying to cause a divide because somebody doesn't rate their favorite player, or more precisely, his attitude. The irony in what they're saying is off the scales.
He was riding on a horse as of yesterday
Im going to record You're my solksjaer in my piano and put it on twitter which is what Alexis should be doing as well
feeling alright pocco?
@Di Maria's angel At least you tried.
Agreed.
But okay, respectfully, it sounds like you're more being pessimistic i.e. blind 'realistic' than open-minded realistic.
Yea I mean..
Realistically,
1. Yes, Solksjaer may or may not get the team play a free following attacking football, but the chances are he'll definitely try to do that, and that's what matters more.
2. Also yes, Ole may or may not be able to motivate fired up the players to play that way and perform getting results, but then try to also see that the players no longer have the excuse card of playing defensive football system holding them back.
3. Mourinho gone to end the toxic atmosphere he conducted and a positive United legend who have experience in managing even if his managerial results is already a good positive step forward.
4. He have experiences as manager, so he at least knows what he's doing.
5. Hiring a better level pedigree caretaker manager is similarly not a definite recipe that they will succeed. On top of that, are they any one available? What guarantees are there instead of Ole, these more pedigree caretaker will do the job better? Nope, zero guarantee. There is always be risks, and at least drawbacks.

One big guarantee is he'll attempt implementation of the United way.
Whether the football and results will be a success or failure is depends, who knows what will happen.
Better pedigree caretaker is similarly not guarantee they'll do a better job than Ole, realistically Ole may even do a better job than them.
Don't count the chickens before they hatch. You're so early making predictions Ole will fail. It hasn't happened yet, it may or may not happen.
Also, it sounds like you don't rate Ole's football and management, which is a fair doubts, but realistically only if we see and follow his managing career better which we now have with Ole in charge of United, only then we can evaluate better his quality as a football manager right?
Let's see how Ole manages first and the football he'll form with this team before deciding already he'll fail.
Oh what a night!
Late in May in 1999
Ole scored a goal in injury time
What a feeling what a night!

It's the absolutely lowest risk move the club could make.
Bertylitous is a rare but deadly virus that causes confusion, amnesia, verbal diarrhea, and sometimes crazy ramblings on internet forums. As the virus spreads through the body, it reveals the true identity of the host.
With posts like that it definitely wont last.
Not all of us apparently but if you could ignore the opinion of an expert who was 4 years old when Ole joined the club.
Over the moon, first time I've been happy about an appointment since SAF left.
One thing is guaranteed is that he will do his very best for this club.
Hopefully it will be good enough, and if it is, would love it to become permanent.

I was gob smacked when I heard OGS was being brought in as interim manager and my first thought was " sacrificial lamb" but then I started to see the sense in it. Would not be surprised to see him putting some of the youngsters in the match day squad, if only on the bench. However that would be way better then putting someone on the bench just to humiliate them. I have no idea how successful OGS will be but just hope he doesn't flop from the off which I don't think will happen. I'm definitely looking forward to the Christmas fixtures more than I was last Sunday night and hoping Ole makes a real fist of it. One thing I am sure about is that our style of play will be easier on the eye. Good luck son.

In this new era of non negotiable happiness, are other players to be afforded this untouchable status?
Former favourites like "Gashford" or perhaps "Donkey"?

There's no way to know for sure until we see some actual results, but thinking United is back to normal just because of an appointment is like the definition of moronic. Especially when that appointment already left a club in this country at a lower level for being shit. So maybe he'll do amazing, maybe he won't, but anyone with any intelligence should be reserving judgement rather than acting like RAWK did when Dalglish was appointed and we all saw how that ended. I don't know how many times we need to see Real Madrid, Chelsea, Newcastle and in the last decade United appoint new managers who don't work out before we realise that appointing a manager doesn't have any magical properties that actually do anything and we shouldn't be dancing in the streets because someone we like got the job. Let's see what he does, and my heart hopes that it's wonders but my head tells me it might not be the case. I will be over the moon to be proven wrong, though.
