Now, finally, the dithering and the dissembling of the mediocrities who run what used to be a football club called Manchester United has to stop.
After managerial mistake after mistake, the jumped-up accountants who rule at Old Trafford have no choice but to accept their last throw of the dice did not work.
If they had an ounce of self-awareness, men like executive vice chairman Ed Woodward and managing director Richard Arnold would fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer today and then follow him straight out of the door.
Solskjaer has to go. It does not matter any more that he scored United's winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final.
