joeyt Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I was responding to Froggy, just realised it looks like I'm trying to correct you They were 17th in January, he brought in a load of players and they ended up getting botted nearly every week. Lost 4-0 to Sunderland and 3-0 to us. Don;t remember Zaha playing for them either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 You not see him at Cardiff? He's factually a worse manager than Mourinho Do you think Mourinho would have done a better job at Cardiff? Lets be realistic here. I don't think Solskjaer is a good manager, but at the same time we're all basing this on less than a full season at Cardiff City, who were absolutely dreadful to begin with. He has top players at his disposal now, and they'll want to do well for him. They hated Mourinho. Kaiz might be able to confirm but by all accounts Solskjaer has done a brilliant job at Molde as well. It'll be interesting. Absolutely yes. Unequivocably. Why would the players want to do well for him btw? Because he was once a player? He's won nothing mangerially, was mainly a sub for Man United, and he's managed nobody. I think you're overlooking how much we think of Solskjaer like. He's a huge club legend who still gets his name chanted at games. Wasn't mainly a sub either. Far more starts than sub appearances, but got the supersub tag because of how many he scored off the bench. Zidane had won nothing as a manager like. Neither had Pep. This is Solskjaer's first job with good players at his disposal. Signed 11 players at Cardiff He signed 7 players in January like. 3 of them turned out to be shite Norwegians who I think shared the same agent as him And got fuck all time to try and get them to gel together. Managers need a full season at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I was just going off this tbh https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ole-gunnar-solskjaer/spielertransfers/trainer/7286 they had Zaha, genuinely can not remember that at all 3 trophies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Fans like him, that's great. Does Anthony Martial give a shit about him? I don't know about Martial, but Pogba fucking loves him. I genuinely think that's one of the main reasons they've brought OGS in, as they were no doubt worried Pogba would consider fucking off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 He could potentially make it way worse, pretty easily imo Only way that happens is if they get relegated which quite obviously won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Man U really needed to bring in a forward-thinking, already-proven-at-the-top manager after Fergie. Letting Fergie have a say in picking his successor, who ended up picking his mate Moyes, has proven to be a massive mistake. They're not dealing with Mourinho's failures, but the harsh reality check of life after Fergie that Moyes' appointment provided. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 That's bizzare to me, got any reasons why? Pogba played under OGS between 2009 and 2011 when OGS was Reserve Team Manager. Reportedly they built a great bond during that time, and Pogba has said his time playing for OGS was instrumental for his development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Quite comical despite how badly we are ran, we have a far better manager than Man Utd currently (the biggest football club in the world). Seen this a couple of times now, surely Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world. What's your definition on biggest? Real Madrid are a better side. Man United are the most valuable club with the most fans, or "fans" before someone tries to be funny. Taking "everything" into consideration.

KaKa Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Jose Mourinho told Man United player to 'stay away' from Paul Pogba - sources MANCHESTER -- Jose Mourinho's relationship with Paul Pogba at Manchester United had deteriorated to such an extent during his final weeks as manager at Old Trafford that the Portuguese told at least one member of his squad to "stay away" from the midfielder, sources have told ESPN FC. Mourinho and Pogba had become increasingly detached and distrusting of each other since the player was substituted during a 2-0 defeat against Tottenham at Wembley in January, but by the time Mourinho was sacked on Tuesday, the disaffection had spread throughout the dressing room. While Mourinho refused to comment on reports earlier this month that he had described Pogba as a "virus" following the 2-2 draw against Southampton at St Mary's, his opinion was made clear when he urged one of his senior players, during a one-on-one meeting, to avoid being influenced by the France international. Unsurprisingly, the message from Mourinho was quickly relayed to the dressing room, where the depth of ill-feeling towards the manager was such that sources have told ESPN FC that "90 percent" of the players had lost all respect for the former Chelsea and Real Madrid coach due to his critical treatment of them, both in the dressing room and in public. Had Mourinho remained in charge, several players were prepared to seek a move away from Old Trafford next summer, but sources said that the mood has now changed significantly since Tuesday's sacking and the squad are now looking forward to "enjoying their football and their life again." Mourinho did not make a final visit to the dressing room on Tuesday after being told by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward that he had lost his job. A handful of players did visit Mourinho in his office at United's Carrington training ground to wish him well, but while sources said it was an "emotional" morning for some of the club's staff, the mood among the players was upbeat and celebratory rather than one of regret. Despite the air of negativity around Carrington, and the hostility towards Mourinho, sources said that Pogba, in particular, has worked hard to ensure that the players' discontent has not affected non-playing staff at the club. On one occasion recently, a high-profile player drove away from the training ground after refusing to do a contractually-obliged interview with a rights holder before a Premier League game. But having been told of his teammate's no-show, Pogba volunteered to take his place to ensure that members of the club's media department did not fall foul of the Premier League's rules.

Raconteur Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 From BBC's "Five reasons OGS is a Man Yoo legend": THAT tackle Another defining moment for Solskjaer, during a Premier League match against Newcastle United in 1998. The match was tied at 1-1, and United needed at least a draw to keep up with Arsenal in the race for the league title. The Magpies' Rob Lee was sprinting unchallenged towards United's goal, but Solskjaer, with all the fierce determination of a honey badger, chased him down and swiped Lee's legs from under him. In doing so, Solskjaer committed a professional foul and ended up back in the changing room before the end of the match. He was given a standing ovation by the United fans. His heroics were ultimately in vain - Arsenal completed a league and FA Cup double - but to this day, fans regard the move as a prime example of how Solskjaer would sacrifice himself for the good of the club.

The College Dropout Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Zidane wasn’t impressive would castilla. Zidane was the right man for the right club at the right time. Enrique wasn’t impressive with barca B or Roma. Rijkaard got relegated in Holland although he did a good job for the Netherlands. Hasn’t done much since Barcelona but he did a great job there. I won’t say it’s a bad appointment. It could work out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
