I could see United eke out a result against Spurs or Atalanta, and they'll pat themselves on the back for sticking with Ole. Then City will take them behind the woodshed and we're back to square one.
The most damning thing is that those idiots really got caught with their pants down. It's painstakingly obvious that they didn't spend a single second thinking about a possible change in the weeks leading up to the Liverpool game, therefore all the scrambling and meetings yesterday/today. That's really the thing that irks me the most because it was obvious to anybody that the tough schedule coupled with the poor performances could lead to something like this. How can this catch you so off-guard? How is that level of incompetence allowed at a massive club like United? It's mind-boggling.
And I love SAF as much as any other United fan, but there's no place for sentimental feelings here. It's not even fair to Solskjaer himself ... the end result of him getting the sack will be the same in a week or two, but he'll unnecessarily be the subject of additional fan outrage now.
