Here are a few things to consider surrounding Ole's appointment and potential dismissal that I hope will give us a fresh perspective.
1. When Ole came in we had been playing the worst football I've seen at united under the previous manager.
2. Ole went on an unbeaten run playing positive, attacking football
3. During that spell an in-form Paul Pogba playing further forward was instrumental in most of those goals and wins.
4. Nobody could have predicted a 10-game unbeaten run. It looked as though ole would get the best out of our existing under-achieving squad.
5. Poch (our preffered option to take over) was not available at the time.
6. Top international coaches coming in would be unproven in the premier league.
7. Most fans who wanted ole to get the job probably accepted that he would only be here for 2-3 years or until a far superior coach becomes available.
8. Ole has actually been a success at united as he has fulfilled his job to raise moral and steady the ship for the next manager.
9. We did well to achieve top 4 last year but it wasn't a convincing top 4 run and the teams around us helped us A LOT.
10. Most people will admit that ole does not yet posses the experience or pedigree of a manager that could become one of the top managers of all time.
11. Manchester United should be recruiting managers that have the potential to become one of the top managers of all time
Can we all agree on these points?

i thought that reimagining a medieval battle as Arab's scr()tum was quite witty, but tough crowd.

Point nine is bollox.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. Pretty sure our run in was only bettered by the title winners. I remember four games on the bounce we win by three goals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But the point is we were so far behind that we had to rely on other teams slipping up.

On the subject of sacks, here is a classic Arab post about his former gym teacher...

I can't remember 4za, I remember the teachers putting our legs up against the wall and stretching them apart. I then remember the burning feeling as my muscles were tearing apart

just a bit of fun but you were making some big statements earlier, throwing out some big what ifs.
I think we should continue the conversation now we have new information.
