After yesterday's shift performance OGS has ro go there is no other way. Go appoint allegri. Fletcher is worse than OGS and will get man u relegated.
If I am OGS I will retire w 7.5m in my bank. Who cares about management anymore.
Breaking ...
That is precisely how we ended up with nothing but trouble with former players. A run of games, win the bulk of them and thought we've found our manager. If it doesn't work, change it for good and stop revisiting the subject of former players managing the club. It's just not about a lack of tactical nuance but OG's style of management that does not suit club and players.
If I were the owner, the first person I'll sack is the one who bought Fred. Farking cunt!
Cull the whole lot. Flush out OGS and the so called old boys. Start afresh. No more run of games. And give the new manager some funds in the Jan window to get players in and out.
New York Stocks Exchange will be updated on the sacking.
Expect Man U shares to Tank on monday when mkt reopen.

OGS going, no surprise
Solskjaer has been in charge at Manchester United since December 2018
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to leave the club after Saturday's 4-1 defeat by Watford.
There has been no official confirmation but it is understood all the club's senior figures, including owners the Glazers, have discussed his future.
It was decided the Watford loss would be Solskjaer's last game in charge and the terms for his exit would be agreed.
Technical director Darren Fletcher is set to take over for Tuesday's Champions League trip to Villarreal.
It is possible first-team coach Michael Carrick could remain at Old Trafford despite being part of a management team responsible for a terrible run of results during which United have won just four of their last 13 games and two of their last eight.
Some felt the 48-year-old was fortunate to survive during the recent international break, before which United suffered a 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool and were beaten in a far more comprehensive way by Manchester City than the 2-0 scoreline suggested.
The club's hierarchy stuck with Solskjaer, believing the Norwegian could turn the situation around.
However, both the defeat at Watford and the manner of the performance, which included a red card for captain Harry Maguire, have changed the landscape.
And, with qualification for the Champions League knockout stage at stake if they fail to get at least a draw against Villarreal, United's senior figures were not prepared to risk a defeat by Unai Emery's team.
They were by far the better side when they played at Old Trafford in September, only for United to beat them thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's last-minute winner.
United goalkeeper David de Gea described the loss against Watford as "embarrassing" and "another nightmare".
It left the side seventh in the Premier League, following a run of one league win in seven games.
Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho on an interim basis in December 2018.
He was then given the job full-time in March 2019 on a three-year deal and in July signed a new deal until 2024.

Seven managers who could replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as Man United manager
November 20, 2021by Rudi Kinsella
Who would you pick as Solskjaer’s replacement?
The pressure is really starting to mount on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, especially after Liverpool and Manchester City’s recent demolition of them at Old Trafford. After the battering they took at Watford on Saturday, Manchester United are going to need a new manager.We’ve taken a look at seven potential Solskjaer replacements, and given them a rating out of 10 for how well they’d fit at the club, and how likely United’s board would be to hire them
Potential Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replacements.
Zinedine Zidane
How good a fit? When you look at what United need right now, Zidane seems like the perfect fit. He has experience managing superstars, playing attacking football and winning trophies. 9/10.Likelihood? He is one of the few candidates on this list that is not currently in a job, and with players like Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo, there are a few familiar faces at the club that could tempt him.
He is also one of the few on this list who is currently not in a job, so we’ll go with 7.5/10.
Graham Potter
How good a fit? Potter is undeniably one of the best coaches in the league. The way he makes his teams play football is genuinely outstanding. The concern would be how he’d deal with managing the egos and personalities that come with the United job. But at this point, it would be worth the risk. 7/10.Likelihood? After what happened under David Moyes and Solskjaer to an extent, it is unlikely that we’ll see United take a chance on another coach who wasn’t won a big trophy. 4/10.
Brendan Rodgers
How good a fit? Rodgers has done an impressive job with every team he has ever managed, while also ensuring his team play really entertaining football. He would be a wise appointment, despite his divisive reputation. 8/10.Likelihood? Bookmakers now have Rodgers as the favourite to take over at United, and he is said to be admired by those in charge in Manchester… We’ll go with 8.5/10.
Erik ten Hag
How good a fit? The current Ajax manager is an outstanding coach, and almost led his side to a dream Champions League final. He would slot in really well at United, and it would be music to the ears of one Donny van de Beek too… 7/10.Likelihood? Unfortunately for United, he recently came out and said that he won’t be leaving Ajax any time soon. But if Solskjaer lasts until the end of the season, you never know… 6/10.
Mauricio Pochettino
How good a fit? Pochettino has always been the man for United. He is absolutely perfect for the job, and he should have gotten the gig 12 months ago. He is the perfect fit, and would have been an incredible appointment. 9.5/10.Likelihood? Like we said, United failed to pull the trigger on Solskjaer last season, and allowed Poch to go to the richest club in the world, who have now amassed what is arguably the greatest squad of all time. He won’t leave that in a hurry. 5.5/10.
Gareth Southgate
How good a fit? With quite a few English players in the United squad, Southgate wouldn’t have to spend long getting used to his team. And while he seems to be a very impressive man-manager, he is also extremely similar to Solskjaer. He likes to play two holding midfielders in front of a back four or five, which is a bit too defensive for the Old Trafford faithful. 6/10.Likelihood? Southgate has gotten his England team to a World Cup semi-final and the final of Euro 2020. With the Qatar World Cup on the horizon, he may want to give it one last go before moving back to club football. 5/10, despite United’s supposed interest.
Luis Enrique
How good a fit? Enrique’s sides play very enjoyable football, and he has won the Champions League and two La Ligas with Barcelona. Lionel Messi described him as the second best manager he has ever played under. When all of United’s rivals have top class coaches, they should too. 8.5/10.Likelihood? Like Southgate, it would make sense for Enrique to hang around for the next World Cup. But if he fancies another challenge in the world of club football, Old Trafford could be an interesting location for him. 6/10.
If I am foster I will also plunge the knife. How long has he played bridesmaid to van de Saar ? Expect the same from Henderson after he leave.Even Ben Foster sees Man United no up.
