Should have Keano as interim, at least he has experience.
If Fletcher gets to the end of the season, I will be amazed.
I think it's quite possible we'll get a proper interim, as opposed to picking a permanent manager now. There were rumours about Blanc in that capacity earlier.
Fletcher (and Carrick) aren't qualified for this. They've been coaching us this season and failing at their jobs. If they're in charge, it should be for no longer than a week. The club need someone with experience in.
He’s going to do alright and we’re going to offer him a 6 year deal aren’t we?
Indeed, being serious I'd rather Keane or Bruce in rather than Fletcher. I mean, at least they actually have some experience.
Yes and he's going to win six league titles.
Agreed. Even if McKenna is a tactical genius, if the players don't believe in his methods it's not going to work. Have to get a big name to restore confidence which is exactly what Conte would've been and yet another terrible decision to pass on him by the club.
^ See above. I don't think giving McKenna the freedom to set up the tactics fully isn't going to help at all. He won't have buy-in from the players.
That is surprising.Yeah wait till he wins 2 games and they give him a contract. Like it hasn't happened before, mate.
Yes, you would know what coaches are good and what are terrible....
Basically the last 3 years have been. Woeful incompetence from coaches all the way to board. Every single one should be fired
It better be 1-2 games only because we need a proper manager who'll take zero shit from the players.
That's the thing, Mckenna's methods are playing in a expansive manner via a high line from what we've seen. If Solskjaer decides to persist with a low/mid block then it would hamper a coach like Mckenna IMO, along with who is selected to execute said strategy.Agreed.

Carrick and McKenna have been a constant under multiple failed regimes now.
Keeping them on is as bizarre as it is needless.
They should be off to further their coaching careers elsewhere at this point.
If they were that good, we wouldn't play as badly as we do every game. They coach the team. Ole doesn't. Ole should not be the only person that takes the fall for this.
Fergie's first born son, fecking hell. People getting jobs left right and centre at United just because they're all pals.

Well if all of a sudden we play to a different standard you will know Ole was overuling them. If same shitshow then at least we will know the next manager will feck them off
Feckin joke this club is, I called the Fletcher appointment months ago.
Supporting this club at the moment is like a feckin bad dream that you can’t wake up from.

If Fletcher serves as coach, then can we bring in Roman Abramovitch as technical director?
Agree 100%. Even if they weren't here under failed regimes, how does a club like Manchester United hire a group of nobodies with zero experience as coaches? It's only because they are pals of Ole etc. They should all walk, but maybe not until we find a real coach who can bring his own team in.
Old mates FC
Get SAF, Fletcher and Carrick the hell away from this club, NOW. Take Mike and Kieran as we'll
I'm sick to death of this club being run by ex players.
Our rivals get the best in class to steer the ship while we feck about with these lot.

Okay I'll admit that was bad of me to mention Fletcher illness but in this time where the clubs in such a state emotion can get the better of you. I already got a warning for what I said but if you can't freely speak then what is the point of this forum?
I'm not here to appease anyone. I'm a fan of our club which had been a sinking ship for how many years now and most of our fans don't give a flying feck about it. It's ridiculous at this stage especially watching other prem teams do things properly.
There is no difference between us and Chelsea squad wise. I hate hearing this rubbish about letting utd legends manage the club.
I can't see emile heskey managing Liverpool if they all of a sudden have a crisis. Nor could I see Chelsea bringing in bloody Drogba as a manager right now and Drogba is different leagues over Sols.
Imagine getting warnings in here for not supporting OGS when he has been garbage for so long. He got the job from a nice chill period. We had a very good away record under him too whilst playing crap. Bruno saved us the whole time!
Yes my words were wrong but if it's true that we are happy to let Fletcher take the manager role with carrick then we might as well contact bebe and ask him to coach Ronaldo too.
I thought Real and their fans were savages but compared to them were more like Stonehenge FC when it comes to standards from director level and even down to fans.
We deserve more than this and if you think otherwise then you're also part of the problem which is why the Glazers take so long to make decisions.
I'm absolutely livid with today and the fact OGS even had the chance to manage the team after this international break so I'm sorry for being harsh but it's reality.
If nobody likes what I say then just ask the mods to ban me permanently but I'm just fed up of this now and the such low standards of our fanbase at this point.
I wouldn't be surprised if sols got the job because of ferdinands blooper after the psg win.
Come on man, it's simple. Stop accepting mediocrity, move on from fergie and accept that our traditions are no longer. Mourinho is considered a dinosaur after 10 years yet we still think we can reincarnate Fergie with every manager we assign to the job. Absolute cuckoo land it's embarrassing now.
We once joked about Liverpool and now we're heading that way and top it off we'll now appoint Brenda who is also on sack watch with Leicester which the majority of fans will accept until Feb when we're in the crap again.
Never ending cycle and call me what you want. I ain't even asking for instant wins or results... I just want us to function.
VDB and Sancho are just somehow rubbish yeah? Imagine haaland actually came and was worse? It's him yeah?
Of course not and we need to sort this out.
We will beat Villarreal and Chelsea and they will make him permanent and the cycle goes on. Fletcher? Why? He has never ever coached or managed in his life.
Even Mata would have been better.
Even Mata would have been better.
Exactly, has fletcher ever coached anyone?
What's Hughes up to?
Watch Fletcher win the next 3 games and get a 5 year contract and we're on the roller coaster again 
We had Sanchez on the piano, Ronaldo came home. What next? Fergie coming out of retirement to keep babying us because we aren't competent enough to move on.
We are literally like a baby that can't be weaned onto solids.

Godness me. Carrick, McKenna, Phelan, Fletcher. Running in the 00's.
We might as well give to Albert if he is still alive.
CBA making a new thread but give it to Rooney till end of the season
Another Fergie's fledgling in charge.
At this point old man is that toddler who destroys his own hard built lego house block by block..

Yeah this is exactly why we need to get a deal for the next permanent manager put in place ASAP so the temptation isn't there again
So you're basing it on pure speculation.
Get Neville and Scholes in mate
Mike phelan keeps his United way job
If they just give it to Fletcher, it would mean they didn't make any plan even during last couple of weeks?! They don't even foresee a scenario that we lost to Watford at all. Not even a proper interim manager ready to take over...
Fletcher is even less experienced in coaching than Carrick. Fletcher would make Ole when firstly arrived as interim manager look like a veteran...
Unlike with Mourinho sacking, I don't see a new manager boost with someone like Fletcher. Mourinho before self imploding period, actually coaching the team. Removing him, the team back then had some tactical foundation to utilize. The mental boost helped our form.
Ole ball is clueless tactically. We're not decent at nothing right now. Can't defend. Can't press. No cohesive attack unit. Fletcher also has been here for a while now. Players know him being another SAF's influenced troops just like Ole, Giving the job to him, a novice interim manager trying to benefit from good vibe, doesn't look like it would work this time.

After losing to Liverpool, we should have get Conte but instead, we delay and delay.
After the hiring of Solskjaer, I am genuinly afraid of the decision making of this board. They might hire him permanently if he wins the next 5 games.
The scariest thing of all: Carrick, Phelan, McKenna all staying to steady the ship. Carrick might survive 2 managers….
My biggest worry about Ole leaving is what the club will do next. The only thing for sure is that they have absolutely no idea what to do now.
