Admittedly it is getting harder to back up but in Ole I trust. Believe!
2 bad results on the spin, 1 a write off against the best team in the world at the min and one where we again underperformed and had no cutting edge. What I would day is that Burnley beat Leicester the week before, the sad thing is they wanted the points more than us, this has been a theme across all recent managers, not just Ole and is an inditement on the squad of players.
But we are so so short on quality in the right areas. I watched an old match recently vs Blackburn where the 3 players we brought off the bench were berbatov, giggs and Scholes. The other night we brought on greenwood, Shaw and lingard, that for me says it all.

Ross I admire your faith but the Club are in trouble in my opinion. Without wanting to sound overdramatic I think we are embarking on the most important 6 months probably since the Club were relegated in 74!

This squad needs major surgery because even when everyone is fit a top 4 finish is far from guaranteed.

The anti Glazer/ Woodward protests are quickly gathering momentum but this time we don't have a strong leader winning trophies and keeping the Club competitive to quell the dissent.

Attendances are dropping with match going supporters apparently staying away rather than the chorus of boos and open mutiny we have witnessed with other managers.

Anger at the moment is centred around the owners and Woodward but once that anger changes to apathy the alarm bells sound start ringing. Playing to an half empty stadium will critically endanger the very soul of the Club and provide the whole world with a visual representation of just how far and how quickly a world renowned sporting institution has fallen.

The Club simply must make the right decisions over the summer because apathy is lurking and its deadly!

I in no way disagree dlib.
I just wish they would back Ole, just back him, were one of the biggest clubs in the world, give him 200m right now to get the players he wants in this window.

I have to have faith in that Ole is not a yes man, that he is fighting to get this club back to where it belongs. I don't know where it is going all wrong exactly in the boardroom or it with others like Matt judge etc but I think it is unfair to land it all at Oles feet.

I find it beyond bizarre that we have not appointed a DOF as of yet particularly as I'm pretty sure they came out last summer and said they wanted one. Surely the glazers see that woodward is inept in football matters, why can't we just keep him making the money behind the scenes and get a professional in to take over footballing matters. How is this company run so badly. Is it really woodward ego in the way and does he hold that much power with the glazers.

I wouldn't give him 2 quid, let alone 200m.

Look how his recruitment went at Cardiff.

Ross our beleaguered manager needs some support and he needs it now.

The squad lacks creativity and goals from midfield yet somehow the Club finds no value in the two time Portuguese player of the year with a goal scoring record of a CF.

Persistent rumours have linked us with Dembele as a possible long term target.
Both players are available this window for the right price and sometimes the best laid plans need accelerating.

Buying in January is not panic buying if you can get your long terms targets into the Club.

Recruitment was always going to make or break Ole but if we don't make significant investment in the next few days even the most optimistic of Utd supporter must concede that a top 4 finish or even Europa League success is wishful thinking.

I have a feeling Ole might battle on until the summer then leave by mutual consent if results remain inconsistent and obvious targets aren't met.

I don't envy the next manager inheriting a squad full of kids and bang average pros more than likely without Pogba.

Who the targets become then and how much the Club spend is anyone's guess. Get it wrong again and god knows what we will become.

I know that once the fans become apathetic, disillusioned and stop going to the games getting back to the top might take decades!

Ross you could give ole 10 windows and he still wouldn’t win the league. Doesn’t matter how you dress it up, he would never have been even mentioned for this job if he wasn’t a united legend. He’s the worst manager we’ve ever had, and your faith is severely misplaced. Yes the board/ Woodward haven’t helped, but that doesn’t excuse the crap we are serving up every week. I’ve genuinely fallen out of love with football this year. I hate to say it but I can’t wait till Ole goes.

DLIB don't forget we have been consistently linked with Saul from atletico Madrid. Ed002 has said he is available for €100 million, I think. That's 3 players in saul, fernandes and dembele who would all improve this average squad dramatically and are all available now but for whatever reason we don't go out and get them and try and low ball sporting for a player we desperately need.

24 Jan 2020 22:33:03
Darv - yeah sorry I forgot about Saul mate. The truth is long term targets are available this January therefore we can only draw our own conclusions as to why none will arrive. Cost cutting, penny pinching or mere incompetence take your pick but a new manager beckons in the summer. The Club are definitely not behind Ole's long term vision despite their transparent claims to the contrary. Actions as they say always speak louder than words.

25 Jan 2020 10:53:45
Sorry Saul? Saul is going to leave Athletico Madrid to join our fight to requalify for the Europa League? Forget about these big targets. We can't and won't attract players from the top clubs anymore and who could blame them. Weren't we recently liked with Ighalo and Slimani? Summer targets likely include Sean longstaff, Stern John and Tony Hibbert.
