Looks like Ole may be out at United.

No link yet but appears it's the end after losing 4-1 to Watford the Glazers have had enough.

I think they're discussing a lifetime contract. Ole at the wheel, forever.

are in an "emergency meeting" as we speak. It started at 2:00 pm Eastern time.

I don't imagine they're discussing concession stand prices.

I don't think the Glazers care about league position or trophies or anything so it's all about financial returns to them. That's probably what kept Ole safe up until now.

I imagine they wouldn't sack him without a replacement on hand. Who would that be? Can they pry Poch away from PSG? Koeman? I don't know who'd be on-hand now.

I imagine there'd be riots at Old Trafford if he were announced.

Manchester United have confirmed the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and said they are looking to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season.

Solskjær’s fate was sealed at an emergency board meeting on Saturday night after the team’s 4-1 defeat at Watford.

United said: “Ole will always be a legend at Manchester United and it is with regret that we have reached this difficult decision. While the past few weeks have been disappointing, they should not obscure all the work he has done over the past three years to rebuild the foundations for long-term success.

Interim manager for now. Poch targeted for the summer.
