Also, this is a fucking manager loan after all He's not been released from his Molde contract, Man Utd are paying a loan fee, and barring any changes he'll return to Molde on June 10th.

Pogba loves OGS, for one.

I mean, just coming off the gig as a Man Utd manager, failure or not, will surely land you better gigs around Europe than being the manager of Molde FK.

Man Utd's website posted three articles on Solskjær, clearly in preparation for the announcement, then deleted them when people discovered them. Solskjærs been congratulated by the Norwegian PM on Twitter. It's done.

Not when the permanent gig is Molde FK Best case scenario for him, he does spectacularly well and gets to stay on. Worst case scenario, he's spent six months at Man Utd and raised his profile immensely as a manager, and can blame the failures on his predecessor and not having had time to turn things around.

His agent is in Manchester.

Solskjær's literally got a clause in his contract at Molde saying he can leave them for free and immediately if he was offered the Man Utd managerial gig.

Why? For once they played well.

Giovinco is only one who'd cut it in PL for me Almiron >>>>>>>>>>>>> Giovinco Giovinco is a prime example of a player fleeing to the MLS after falling through innEurope. Gio is / was the best player in the MLS by a country mile, but as I don't watch that terrible league, if you say Almiron is better, I'm going to have to snap your hands off. I still have reservations about an attacking player from the MLS making it in the PL, mind. Was the best player in the Argentine league before going to Atlanta. The striker on Atlanta is great as well, I think. Those two are IMO the best players in the MLS.

As I said though, I happily admit that when it comes to Rodgers, my thinking he is shit is heavily influenced by my loathing him Objectively, I know Rodgers has done very well most places. He's a cunt though and therefore forever shit.

Taking bait hook, line and sinker fwiw. And will continue to do so because fuck my life.

For the record, only Norwegian managers I genuinely like are Egil Olsen, Nils Arne Eggen and Kåre Ingebritsen. Olsen because he made Norway be not shit for the first time since the 30s. Eggen because he was in charge of Rosenborg during their glory days. Ingebritsen because he made Rosenborg play like Rosenborg again and is a likeable guy in general. Everyone else are cunts. Especially Ronny Deila, Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Kjetil Rekdal.

It's pointless discussing with certain posters. You can make well thought out points with stats to back them up, won't matter. Again, Deila is a shit manager. I don't like Deila. He's a cunt and despicable human being. The point I was making back then is that I think Rodgers is vastly overrated and shit, and that he's not doing as well as he could given the praise he's getting. It's a one team league, yet with Rodgers as manager it kinda isn't. Celtic looked shit against the shittest version of Rosenborg in years, for instance. It should've been a rape. Cost me a shitton of money not winning -2. Two managers can be shit at the same time. And I've even admitted to have extra dislike of Rodgers just for hating him, so my opinion on him vs Deila in a shit off is biased.

Never cash out. Ride or die.

Again, Bradley was horribly shit and an absolute failure at Swansea. His time spent there being perhaps one of the worst managerial performances in PL history. One thing does not however negate the other, meaning Bradley's shitness does not mean Clement is not shit. I'm just saying I can understand how Bradley got hired (good performances in smaller leagues + American owners), whereas I do not understand it with them hiring Clement.

He played horrible, depressive, football and when he got sacked he was on an eight match winless run, looking like sliding out of the promotion fight in a season where Derby were one of the favourites ro go up. Players fell out with him as well. According to the owners he was sacked not due to poor points haul, but due to taking Derby in the wrong direction for a variety of reasons. Win percentage of 42.4 in a favourite for promotion isn't all that great either.

I've maintained that he's been absolute shit since day one. Fuck other people. But Per Ciljan Skjelbred and Bob Bradley are definitely still brilliant. Skjelbred's captain at a Bundesliga side and has played for them regularily for years, he's had a comfortable career. Bradley was shit in the PL but has done well elsewhere, my argument wasn't that he was amazing, it was that he had done enough in his prior gigs when taking the situation of the clubs into consideration to warrant a go at a big job (though the PL might've been too big a jump) - I've not disputed that he did shit once he got that chance, albeit he got sacked quickly and replaced by someone shitter. He's done well again with LAFC in their inaugeral season, outclassed the Galaxy with far less star power and money. That said, with the benefit of hindsight, that seems to be his forte. Building very successful teams with little resources in smaller leagues. He's had a go at clubs with a lot of money twice and failed at both chances, so not sure he's one to trust in money rich leagues after all. If we're judging it on careers rather than who is just shit or isn't then Clement's been at Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern like. Canny good career. I'm not disputing Clement might be an amazing assistant manager, and that's been at big clubs as one. Comparison here is as managers though, not assistants. Clement is a shit manager and was overhyped due to his career as assistant. That said, I don't disagree that Derby hiring him was a valid choice at the time due to that hype. The fact Swansea, and especially Reading, did so after however was laughable. As he'd shown his hand, had issues with players and bad tactical implementation. Okay then, Clement's been a manager at Swansea and Reading, he's had a decent career. He's also probably shit as a manager, as is Bob Bradley, as is Skjelbred as a player. There's no reason to your argument though. Bradley's got a win percentage of 49.24 outside his time at Swansea. He's proven he can improve teams on essentially zero $ budgets. He failed at his attempt at the big time, so he shouldn't get one again unless he proves himself one more time with clubs in lesser leagues. Clement failed at his first gig at Derby due to falling out with players and got derided for his tactics. This is the guy Swansea then hires to replace someone who they just sacked from the job for the same reasons. The circumstances of their individual hiring at Swansea were different in that Bradley could be argued for having done well enough in his career to earn a shot, even thoigh he only got hired due to being American. Clement got hired after being shit, and then turned out shit. Bradley failing was not unexpected as he'd never been at a gig that size before, and arguably he should've at least had one more stable and succesful gig in a bigger league than Ligue 2, Tippeligaen and MLS before getting a shot at the PL (but then he skipped the que due to his American citizenship), but at least it was an interesting choice. Clement failing was always going to happen. Skjelbred's got over 180 apps in the Bundesliga, he never made it to the massive clubs in the world, but he's had a very decent career. It's weird to suggest otherwise. Could he have made it at NUFC? At the time, I was uncertain, but always liked Skjelbred, and he was an NUFC fan, so of course I wanted to see him at NUFC. It's a bit like my love for Mitro in that regard. I can see the issues, but I still would want to have them in black and white. Based on his career I'd say he'd probably have done alright for a lower tier PL team, he never became good enough (imo) for mid-table/top sides.

It's a joke, but he'd honestly be dead to me if i wasn't Just use your phone if you're going that small.

That is the opposite of a transfer rumour

Agreed, any match-goer stumbling on this thread wouldn't want to have anything to do with TMG. But just as long as a minority can consider themselves special. Sorry to hear Southwest Airlines made fun of you.
