I think if it continues like this and 2 wins in 7 becomes something like 4 wins in 14 that he will be gone before Christmas.

Want a bet?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nah, it’s pretty obvious that if we are in a situation where we have 4 wins in 14 and are hovering around the relegation places that he will be gone. I wouldn’t want to take your money.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You wouldn't be taking my money - it'd be for charity.

The results figure is too specific, I'm really talking about whether he'll still be there or not.

Winston might be better for you to explain what you see in Ole that makes you believe he is the man for the job he has in his hands. You've called out the job will take years but what makes you think Ole has what it takes to do that job?

Winston do you really expect me to make a 500 pound bet with you on if Ole will be sacked by Xmas
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeh, why not? For charity.

Christmas time, so I usually make a donation to a local homeless charity. That would be my choice if I win and you can pick one for you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not that I've seen things in him that I think means he has what it takes.

I don't feel qualified to make that judgement and so I can only really form an opinion based on what I see on the pitch and overall results.

But when you consider all the things I've mentioned - current squad, player comings and goings, the use of youth etc. - then I just think it's too early to make a judgement.

I'm not saying I think he will brilliant. I'm saying it's too early to tell either way.

He has the job, so we either back him or we don't.

No mate you're fine I'm 100% not betting 500 with someone I don't know on a bet that has too many variables at play.

Well you seemed very confident earlier. Funny how that has changed.

What has not knowing me got to do with it?

Fair points but already a section of the Fan base has lost faith and without an upturn in results the number of fans losing faith will grow.

It will boil down to patience from fans and crucially the board at United.

Playing youth should not be a determining factor in a manager keeping his job if results are poor though especially at United.

Match going fans haven't though, and that's far more important than this forum!

But yes, I agree - if the fans are restless then that is a problem and so we need to see signs of encouragement, which I think we will.

Take Tuanzebe last night. I thought he did really well for 40 minutes, then started to tire a little and that's probably what contributed to his mistake for their goal.

Ups and downs.

As long as it's not all downs, I can cope with that as can most match going fans I know.

Okay, sportsman's bet then... £20?

I don't think he'll be gone by Christmas but then I don't expect the run of 5 wins in 20 games will continue. Probably 13 more games until Christmas? That's 3 more wins at that rate so 8 in 33. If that continues I expect he would be sacked.

Well yes, there are some extreme examples where it could happen.

But I think it's very unlikely. Even if we're struggling, I just think they knew what they were taking on and did it intentionally, knowing that the club needed a big clear out.

Frank and Chelsea are doing well, but it's not like he's had to scrape the barrel from the youth teams. Chelsea have been buying up the best talents in the world and loaning them out since Roman took-over. They aren't poor players with no experience that he's having to piece together.

Not taking anything away from him though as you still have to make it work and he seems to be starting to do that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What’s this? Abraham, Mount, Tomori, CHO, RLC and James have been at Chelsea from they were no age

No Winston I'm not doing a bet, if I'm wrong you can lord it over me telling me I was wrong.

Fair enough. No need for lording it though.

Just interesting that your confidence on the subject seems to have waned since we discussed putting money on it

I predicted United for seventh when I did a prediction league at the start of the season, which is the lowest I’ve ever put them. That was based just on a gut feel
though and 3-7 were all a bit interchangeable.

I won't bet unless I have the chance of making money back on it.

Solksjaer is 6/1 second favourite to be the next sacked. So I'll give you 5/1. I'll then stick your stake on the 6/1 to cover myself. It's a fair deal.
