Whose fault it was that the deal didn't go through, we can only speculate, but it certainly looks like Ole wanted the kid and someone upstairs didn't sign off on the deal...
What gets me is why LVG and Mou are not slagging the @#%&!s to high heaven now. Hopefully Ole does.

Maybe the ridiculously large severance packages they got?

The confirmation of the figure — understood to be a £15 million payoff for Mourinho and the rest (£4million) for five members of his coaching staff — means that United have spent £33.2 million in five years in compensation for three managers who have been fired: Mourinho, Louis van Gaal and David Moyes.

That's insane when you think about it.

No one seriously denies Pochettino did a good job at Spurs, then it petered out. He’s probably a sound manager, though managerial performance isn’t universal to every situation, so he might do a good job here, then again he might not. Either way he would need the time we’d be denying Solskjaer.

Who was fired for poor performances months later. The man who replaced him was deemed not good enough for us!

Not true. See the related thread. Some have been saying that since Jose was still here

What is disingenuous is people giving Ole credit for McT. First, he's been just okay. Second, sorry but the previous manager gets that one,

Agreed. The question of course is whether that person is Ole. Do we take a chance with him based on what we've seen so far, or do we say he is a caretaker that got over promoted and put our trust in someone with a track record?

The one thing Ole does give us is stability. He is highly unlikely to kick up a fuss and engineer his way out when the board £#%&! him over. That's definitely a positive for the long term. But balancing that with my faith in him to develop onto a world class coach is where I struggle.

I think the fact that people are using The Scottish Player as an argument for us “progressing” says all we need to know.

Tired of arguing about whether Ole is a good enough manager but it’s mad that people are saying that Fred and Mctomminay have improved under him.

Fred needed time to adapt as well as more game time and Mctomminay was given a chance under Mourinho and was inevitably going to improve with more game time.

‘Ole has got rid of some dead wood’ but the players that he let go probably would have scored us goals and won us games. We still have Phil Jones and Jesse Lingard in the squad ...because their wages aren’t as high as Sanchez and Lukaku’s. Makes you think whether it’s not actually Ole but Woodward getting the wage bill down.

Bring in a new manager and we’ll have the same issue when his half-arsed transfer budget leaves the club with another group of average players on high wages. It’s a trend that’s happened since Ferguson left ..or since Woodward.
