We find ourselves at an interesting cross road.
I don't dislike eth.
I disliked ole.
I don't think eth is incompetent ole was imo.
I think eth is a stand up honourable guy I don't think ole is.
I think eth is honest and has good integrity I don't think ole was.
I simply don't think eth has the right game plan to take us forward.
I don't think he has the charisma or the talent required to turn this around.
He seems to be inflexible difficult to get along with and a little aloof.

Ken,
Let it go man. Ole’s been gone a long time.

Ole was, is and always will be a United legend. All teams since that golden era are judged by the majority who have never known differently. He was, as all those after SAF, saddled with a poor club culture from the top down. Sure he was not the greatest manager but like ETH cannot be entirely judged on his results. We do not know the full story on how any manager has had to deal with the millstone of UTD round their necks.
Whilst he was certainly not the answer, he is being judged like all others, whilst not been given the tools to operate with.
Remember he took us on a record away game streak so cannot be all bad. And in my opinion is a decent standup honorable guy, if almost certainly out of his depth as a manager at this level.
Clearly you hate the guy but please give him some credit as a UTD legend.

Ken, try hypnotherapy to rid you of the Ole curse? !

Not a legend in my eyes keefy.
No more than a lot of other players some see as legends. It completely subjective and I've no issue being in the minority with any of my views.
He was a good squad player he made a really great contributing while he was playing. I'd put him in the same bracket as nick butt Phil neville and John o shea as a player. Much loved. But not a great.
I don't hate him I hate what he did in his time as manager.
