My gut feeling with United now is the changing room has gone feral. They've dispatched Ole. Carrick will go too. There is no management there from top to manager level.
What struck me over the weekend was where does Fergie fit in to all this. It seems he's way back from the day to day. But Utd's problems must cause him pain. The urge to go kick some arses must be overwheming, but I get no sense that he's got anywhere near the 1st team.
The fact Utd brought back Pogba suggests to me that Fergie doesn't force his opinion on the current decision makers.
Fergie was reportedly was influential in briinging Ronaldo back, but frankly if the rest matched Ronaldo's effectiveness, they'd be fine.

They're going to get Steve Bruce next, aren't they? :)

Unless Poch gets smashed by City tomorrow and conveniently sacked by PSG.

But the whole thing is stupid, sacking Ole alone makes him look like the only guilty party. That's like sacking Ted Lasso and letting Coach Beard manage the team.

If you've been watching the Reading v Sheffield match, that was really worrying seeing another player collapse. You could probably hear a pin drop in the crowd.

John Fleck's been stretchered off, let's hope he's alright.

I completely missed that Championship games were on tonight.
What happened with Fleck?
BBC saying he collapsed off the ball. Was given oxygen and on his feet before being stetchered off.
Do you think the stretcher was just an abundance of caution?

He collapsed off the ball and out of sight of the camera but his feet were shaking as he laid down. He was given oxygen and I think after a while he may have been able to get up if it wasn't for the oxygen canister so he had to be stretchered off. But like the Euro match his teammates looked quite concerned, as well as the silence from the crowd, made it very worrying.

Indeed. As you say, let's hope all is OK.

In the dying minutes of a match, two players looked as if they were gonna get into a punch-up when the ref blew the final whistle and one of them ran away celebrating. :lol:

Yes, they need to bring in someone fresh, because getting a Molde manager didn't work out for them last time.

I'm clearly still gutted that my favorite band 'Ole and the Wheels' disbanded. Loved watching them play :evil:

The wheels maybe coming off Brendan Rodgers' wagon.
"we have talented players - not at that top end but we've had a collective mentality to be challenging"
Not sure that his players will appreciate that assessment and it was an unnecessary comment. Strange.

I've just heard some bad language from the crowd in the Fulham/Derby match and I'm most upset, no apology is good enough. :(
