Not a single Man United believed Ole was a laughing stock. That all came from opposition fans. Which is quite funny really when he finished second and third with a goal difference of about +80 during his tenure. A safe pair of hands and a club legend to boot. Oles at the wheel. Just annoyed this opinion isn't valid because I don't know how to get to Old Trafford. Didn’t have a clue if you go to Old Trafford or not, no idea who you are. My comment was more about the nonsense on social media and Red Cafe but if the boot fits If he wasn’t a laughing stock among Man Utd fans, he should have been. He was useless.

Pulled the trigger too quickly after a poor run of 6/7 games. I think Ole was always up against it. He wasn't seen as a top tier manager so they were waiting for the first opportunity to get someone more high profile in. Glazernomics. People can call him shit all the like, but he finished second and third. Only Jose Mourinho has managed to match that since Fergie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Just getting a manager that sets the team up in a basic 4-2-3-1, picks the best players to play and lets them figure it out as they go is probably an improvement on what they had, and OGS will deliver that, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Friend is actually a massive Besiktas fan and reckons his biggest issue was bringing in players and tactically he was just not up to it. Will generally bring a good atmosphere and players will play for him. Seems a pretty decent caretaker appointment, should be alright for a few months and surely not someone they'll consider making permanent, which is the only real way this could be a disaster.

If he weren't a "club legend" he of course would never be in contention for the job. I'm not saying he's the worst manager ever and I'm sure he can create a good feeling at your place but the reason he wasn't seen as a top tier manager is that he isn't one.

The College Dropout Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Ole will get them CL football if they get him in. They will never win the league with Ole though. Which is the main thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Are Chelsea aware of how ridiculous this appointment looks? It makes a mockery of Strasbourg for one thing, especially if he gets sacked before the end of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal favourite was their worst start to a league campaign in 33 years. Took over from Mourinho, made them progressively worse and left them in a worse state now re-written in history as some form of managerial genius.

We just know what he will bring and we love him. Not going to lie and say there isn't some rewriting of history going on mind. Standards were higher when Ole was sacked and a lot of people felt it was the right decision. But standards are in the gutter now. Europa League wouldn't have been enough for Ole to keep his job back then, but now it would be brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, can’t argue with that. I didn't say he wasn't a good manager. he's just not elite and never will be. He will set us up very well in a 4-2-3-1 and have us play fast, attacking football. He'll likely get tactically found out against the likes of Pep or Howe, but he'll probably batter the lower half of the league and pick up more than enough points to get us into Europe again. Then Luis Enrique can come in and win the treble. Edited January 6 by Froggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) They’ll not have a successful manager as long as Fergie is sat in the stands at every game tutting and shaking his head and casting a massive shadow over the dugout like the Ghost of Success Past Like having your lasses best ever shag sat at the end of the bed watching and tutting and shaking his head every time you do the nasty Edited January 6 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 So just to be clear, OGS got sacked by Man Utd for not being good enough, doesn’t then do anything for over 4 years, apart from go to Beşiktaş, which lasted 8 months, and it would somehow be a good move to get him back?
