Well he's still on the board so he's still involved with the club.
Ole's sacked, who next?

Would be nice for some honesty like that though!
Obviously not how it's done, but it would certainly be refreshing!Probably putting the final touches on Oles masterplan. We're so close
Yes I’m sure you’re right, they probably want to see if we can limp a bit closer to the international break too, before doing anything.
he is, but is non-executive so has no power. But yeah, assume he was advising.

Thing is if you bring in a new man tomorrow and he loses to Tottenham and City (and Atalanta) which is entirely possible, it could wreck the new manager before he's even got going.
If you let Ole take the L's a new manager could come in with a more winnable set of games and move forward.

Pros and cons to both. If Ole scrapes some points then there is a chance he doesn't go and the **** show rolls on a bit longer. If we keep him for the Atalanta game it could cost us the CL group. I don't think the Tottenham game is anything to be scared of and I would expect any half decent manager to not get absolutely battered by City. I would expect Ole not to get battered by City to be fair. Maybe he might have learned something from the Liverpool game.
We won't get battered though. He will play super defensive and try to hit Spurs on the counter. I wouldn't be surprised if we do OK vs Spurs and City with Ole still in charge. That doesn't change the fact he needs to go. Hes a **** manager.

He learnt nothing from the leciester game, or Atalanta game which was then replicated against Liverpool.
So yeah great chance he might have learnt since then Haha
The only hope he'll have is that be has took notice of the way the media have portrayed and analysed everything after the Liverpool defeat. The escape from Atalanta was papered over by the fact they actually won, and not much was made of the Leicester defeat in comparison to the Liverpool one.
He has to react and surely not with the same tactics he's been using?
As I was saying:

Ole's done. This is one of a number of articles doing the rounds with players briefing against Ole and as soon as that starts it's over. If he makes it beyond the International break I'd be amazed.

Well there's nothing wrong with asking players what they think, I'm sure every manager talks to their players in the dressing room about that. If things aren't going right he's 100% correct to have a discussion with the squad, they're humans not automatons. They might be able to spot something happening on the pitch that he can't see from the dugout for example.
It's the players having lost belief in him that is the issue, that means he's done. It's not as toxic as Jose, they clearly still like him but if they're not buying into him as a manager any more then it's over.

That seems a bit naive when we're talking about the manager of the biggest club on the planet. There's a time and a place to ask players what they think can be done better, putting it on them right after the game once it's done and dusted seems a bit suspect.
