Games like Tuesday night don't shape my thinking based on the result, but more the manner of it re the mind boggling approach to substitutions. I acknowledge he has done a lot of good things during his tenure and deserves a lot of credit. I do feel he is our good luck Chuck though or the guy before the guy as someone else put it which would still be huge credit to him if that did turn out to be the case. |

We need a significant improvement in the performances issues and we need to win something though. Quote:

I've had wobbles, NQAT but Tuesday (when the virgins burst into life again) was not Ole's fault. Two world class £#%&! ups from two players that put us right in the shit, then ensured we lost caused that. Even with substitutes at different times or different positions - it's easy with hindsight isn't it? Anyway..... this United squad is THE most United type squad we've had since Fraggle. Ole's signings have been excellent (I'm not quite sure VDB was even 60% Ole tbh) Maguire - had his moments but he's superb. AWB - let's not bullshit ourselves, he's been a success. He has to improve in areas but he's been a lot more good than bad Bruno - gets in any team in the world. If we sold him tomorrow, he'd choose to which team he went and they'd probably give him anything he wanted. Cavani - wonderful. Varane - You KNOW how good he is. Amazing that Ole has got him tbh. Telles - he's literally turned Luke Shaw into the worlds best left back Ronaldo - wow. Amad - incredible talent Dan James - Wasn't our worst player, just not good enough for that next step. Sancho - will be a class signing. Ole has definitely made mistakes. The biggest one being the substitutes in the Europa final. This was in a £#%&!ed up season when our best players were all out on their feet 8 games BEFORE the final and Ole didn't have the depth to juggle. But he's finished 2nd and had the better over Pep (Genuinely not arsed about us in a one off game against City anymore. Always do well.), Klopp (over a season), numerous Chelsea managers etc. This is his first top job and I think if he'd have been backed properly and when he wanted. we wouldn't still be trophyless under him. It's frustrating tbh but I deffo see us being better under him (Moyes, LVG and Jose football) and we're looking more like United. Given time, if we can actually do what's right and spend on a top defensive midfielder, we'll win the league. But that's IF we get what we need. If we don't, no manager can win us the league. IN. |

Under the current ownership Ole is the best option now and going forward, imo.
He has shown he can “manage” the players,owners and the fans quite well., but his shortcomings are clear. He too loyal, as a principle. Showing faith in those who fail him or are not good enough. He’s not that good a coach and refuses to get the relevant expertise in. He has to realise this is his only chance to manage Utd, he has no duty to keep McKenna and co in a job if it’s going to cost him his. Bringing in Ronaldo means if we are seen to underachieve again this season the media frenzy and fan disappointment will be too great for the yanks to withstand. |

Not sure I get the comparison to Chelsea and Lampard. Lampard was sacked by Chelsea because they were 9th in January. The situations aren't really comparable.
If we were 9th in January last season, he'd have been gone. If we're 9th this season in January, he'll been gone. I'd also say we've been pretty ruthless with the last few managers. Moyes gone after 10 months, Van Gaal sacked as he paraded the FA Cup in a Press Conference, Jose a few months after our best league finish in 5 years. If we want to be more ruthless than that, we'd have to change managers every year. Chelsea have only sacked two managers mid-season in the period since Ferguson retired, and the other was when Mourinho was trying to get them relegated. I don't buy that the club will accept top 4 without a title challenge and no trophy again this season. Hopefully we don't have to find out. |

After the shit show in the CL last season, he’d be on very thin ice at a top club. In.. for now. |

AWB at 50M is not a hit. Telles and Van De Beek were complete wastes of money and you've also left Ighalo off. Maguire has been a good signing. Bruno - elite Cavani - smart Dan James - flop Ronaldo, Varane, Sancho - blind willy could have identified those 3 Anyway, I think in the transfer market we've improved a lot - ties in with the cultural reboot the club apparently wanted to embark on post Mourinho. The issue is more around his coaching abilities to get the maximum out of this squad, or perhaps even make it greater than the sum of its parts. (can you honestly even imagine that?) You get the feeling Ole would need a world class player in every position to win the league, or take it to the wire, |

Love this new stance of how he’ll be leaving us in such a good position too. Nobody likes the keeper and the back up options are useless. We definitely need an upgrade at right back, we’ve no midfield, even more so once Pogba leaves and we’ve got two forwards we’re relying on at the end of their careers. One who can’t seem to stay fit for more than a month I imagine protests against the owners aren’t too far round the corner. |
