Whilst I know that as an NUFC supporter I'm supposed to hate the guy with intense passion due to that tackle, I'm also a Norwegian, which means I can't help defending the fact that OGS isn't a bad manager. He's perhaps not an elite manager capable of managing a massive club in a massive league, but the job he did completely restructuring Molde from the bottom up to take them to their first league title in their history and to perform well in Europe is just something that can't be denied was well done. Especially if you look at how Molde, whilst still one of the "big" teams in Norway, have started to fall apart, season by season, after he left them. 

 

Now, if Molde's decline comes as a result of OGS leaving them or Kjetil Knudsen re-inventing the way a football club is meant to be run up in Bodø is another discussion entirely

 

It always was very silly to suggest Solskjaer was a bad manager, but like you say, he was just limited. We played some blistering football under him and when he set us up to counter we were extremely effective. He just didn't have the tactical nous to control games against better managers, and he didn't have the authority to keep players on his side when things started going pear shaped. He was thrown under the bus almost immediately.

 

Since 2013 though the most enjoyable period for us was easily under Solskjaer, and he's the only manager who didn't win anything.

He's shit and an utter cunt.

 

Made a rapist captain at Molde. Him and his agent mate Jim Solbakken can both get in the fucking sea.

They'll just add it to the exceptions list.

Good job it was renegotiated though or we would be heading for a £30m deduction next year.

This is the same as them having £10 mllion per year less in the base sponsorship figure and the contract saying they get £10 million extra for getting champions leage, no? Suppose a team the size of Man U should be expecting Champions League so you do it that way round.

[Izakaya]

Hes going nowhere 😂

 

Imagine how bad the PR from sacking all those workers just to have enough cash to sack your underperforming manager would be.

Clumsily worded tweet - apparently the redundancies saved £10m, so sacking Ten Slag would be lot more than that.

The summer was a shambles for Man Utd. Was clear to everyone they wanted rid of ETH. They couldn’t find anyone and extended his contract and now 6 games in it’s to expensive to sack him

£35,000,000 between 250 employees is £140,000 per employee. 

Who did they sack?

Quality research by the tweeter. Was actually £10m and £40k average per employee. Which is a lower number for salary once you factor in NI, pension and other employer costs.

Never mind the £17 million to sack Ten Hag, they need to factor in the package Southgate would need when he joins.

[Ben]

Looks like Ten Hag is a gonna

An all you can eat buffet at Pizza Hut for him and his mates Chris and Stuart...know Man U are looking to cut back but reckon they could swing that

Loving Erik jetting off on his hollibobs after breaking his own record for worst start to the season. Big Bruce energy from the Dutch PFM.

[Pixelphish]

Eras come to an end.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Even Pep takes the international break off TBF.

[Ikon]

Can’t really blame ETH. Could have been planned ages ago. And knowing ETH he “Sticks to the plan”.

Can I block a whole thread on here ignoring it is tedious

I would say he probably needs the rest, while we can be very flippant, and aye he gets paid handsomely to do his job.  He's entitled to a rest same as any other employee, and while we won't really be able to grasp it, he's under intense pressure.

 

Still hope they get humped next game, but I have some sympathy for the human being, despite the monstrously hideous detestable club he chose to manage.

[Doctor Zaius]

Could do with him picking up a few decent results tbh. Ideally want him to stumble on as long as possible because I have 0 faith in him making them a force again.

Nothing to do with me either. We're just rent free in some of your heads.

Not our fault either mate, it's back page headlines every day. Pretty hard to avoid it.

I opened skysports website the other day after one of their losses and the first eight articles on the home page, not even the football section, were about them. Makes me sick.
