Well it's official. Levy has gone insane. Maureen has been given a contract until 2023. :o ;D

Bollocks, 1-0 down after a cock up by Jones. And they deserve the lead too.

I think Ollie might change to a back four soon.

Well he didn't change anything before the end of the first half. We've been bloody terrible during that first 45 minutes.

1-0 down at halftime. :'(

Shite, that's 2-0 now. United were playing much better this half too since Lingard came on for Jones during the break.

3-3 final score, we probably would have won that if he had made those changes after 30 minutes instead of during the break.

A fair result though I think.

Arsenal 8 points off top 4, sacked their manager.  Spurs 9 points off top 4, sacked their manager.

United, 9 points off top 4... and you get so many deluded united fans that still have faith in ole ;D ;D One of the biggest frauds going ;D

If they do sack Ollie, who's going to want to take over with a transfer budget of 60-70 million quid every Summer?

We're only in December (well at least tomorrow!) the only reason for a club to sack a manager at this time of the season is if the manager has lost the dressing room. Both Emery and Pochettino both lost the dressing room, Ollie hasn't.

United need to stick with Ollie not just this season but also next season too. He has a long term plan for the club but this plan has been hampered by the board not giving him the support he needs with transfers.

We've lost Fellaini and Herrera and Ollie wasn't given the cash to strengthen what was already a weak midfield because he's had to sell players to buy players.

United should have had a net spend of around 300 million quid this Summer just gone but he only had 60m or so.

I still think we'll get a top four place depending on whether we make any signings in January.

We needed a right back, a central defender, two midfielders, a number 10 and a right winger. Plus a left winger and forward to replace Lukaku and Sanchez.

Now we signed a right back (Wan-Bissak), a central defender (Maguire) and a left winger (James) and promoted Greenwood to replace Lukaku, but we were still short of a couple of midfielders, a number 10 and a right winger so we have been 4 players short.

Ollie has been seriously let down by the board unfortunately. And like I've said, if he does get sacked who's going to take the job if he's only given 60m quid to spend every Summer?

And things will get worse when we get rid of Static and Pogba goes too.

The board need to spend money.

Our kids coming through will make things a bit easier - Laird will replace Young when he goes, Bernard and Tuanzebe will replace Jones and Smalling. We have both Garner and Levitt to bolster our midfield too, but we still need to buy some experienced players to help our kids develop.

We're not out of reach of getting a top four place and if we don't win a Cup of some description we'll make it to at least one Final I think.

Ollie needs time and I think he'll be given it by the board as long as he doesn't lose the dressing room. He's only made 3 signings so far but they've all been good signings so I'm trusting his judgement.
