This....he seems to have gotten a great reputation for giving youth a chance, when in reality he didn't actually have any other choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Find it bizarre any manager would go on holiday during an international break. Aye, senior players may not be around, but I assumed the coaching staff would be working on their tactical approach to the next few matches, as well as everything else a manager should be doing (working with the scouting department, considering improvements, taking a look at the youth products, working with the players still at the club). Wonder if Klopp and Guardiola are in Tenerife. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but in OGS case I imagine he is in every day for long hours unlike bacon face Bruce, so probably feels it’s a good time now to relax, I also imagine Man Utd will have a lot of players away at all levels. If this was Bruce taking another holiday I’d be livid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It “made sense” with Bruce - every international week as a player, he was the only one not away so Fergie gave him time off. Solskjaer was a Norway regular for much of his career, wasn’t he?

Kaizero Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Fairly common for there to be a few days off during an international break for those not on duty tbh, this is especially true in the November window due to how hectic the English league schedule is this time of year and players in England not getting Christmas off. That said, in cases like our own with a new manager or for teams in crisis this period would be a time to reset and restructure, and as such a holiday would be weird.

I don't think people are obsessed but just genuinely baffled at man u fans support of a manager who is clearly not good enough. A lot of them have even convinced themselves that they wouldn't have taken Conte and even that there is literally not one manager out there right now that can do a better job than Ole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
