I have a feeling he will be a disaster. I love him thoughI have a weird feeling he'll do surprisingly well, leading to a prolonged debate in the summer as to whether he should be appointed permanently or not.

agree with the notion that Mourinho maybe even could have won the CL this year, I mean if anyone could pull that off unexpectedly.
I have the same feeling. Can't see it being a successful stint. Think we should have gone with someone with more experience in the top flight. We are only 17 games in and are in two cup competitions, don't think the season is a complete write-off, yet. Though like you, one of my favorite players so he has my support.I have a feeling he will be a disaster. I love him though
May be Ole wants to start against Cardif to prove a point?Here is a thought. Assuming Ole is appointed caretaker on Thursday, I wonder if he will not take charge of the team in Cardiff, but be there observing in the stands while Carrick manages the game, then fully take control of the club on Monday and have his first game in charge be at Old Trafford on Boxing day, so he starts his time at home.
I actually think its the other way around, we might have a lot of high scoring games by being too open. The fans might actually want to turn up for it.Don't think we will play some great football and win many games but this is so much better than the toxic environment created by Jose.
He is a ManUtd legend and loved by every ManUtd fan, so players will obviously respect him.
Hopefully he will teach our players what off the ball movement and positioning is.
A lot can change in football. There was zero chance of Leicester winning the league too. Cup is only what 8 games to win it now? Not that it was likely with Mourinho, hence him being let go. My point was even if he had won it, getting rid of him now and lose a trophy wouldn't necessarily be bad for the club long term.
If you park the bus, you need to do that effectively, these lot can not. There was zero chance of that happening as well.
To be fair, virtually all our players are experienced internationals - many have won trophies elsewhere, including World Cups and Premier Leagues.Don't think we will play some great football and win many games but this is so much better than the toxic environment created by Jose.

Much improved football with upturn in results and let's say wins FA Cup then he deserves to be in the mix.What does he need to do to get the job full time? Top 4? Win a cup?
We just need to ensure the players are up to scratch with the basics of running and pressing prior to the next manager. Far too long have they been lethargic and clueless with relation to pressing and movement under both LvG and Jose.Don't think we will play some great football and win many games but this is so much better than the toxic environment created by Jose.

He shouldn't get it regardless. He's not good enough for long term. Alright as interim but that's about it.What does he need to do to get the job full time? Top 4? Win a cup?
His managerial career means nothing, it's like saying Barca players didn't have much to learn from Pep whose only managerial record was managing their B team or Milan with Sacchi when he was from some poor team. So many examples to give here.To be fair, virtually all our players are experienced internationals - many have won trophies elsewhere, including World Cups and Premier Leagues.
I doubt there's much they'll learn from a guy who's managed Cardiff and Molde, even if he is a loveable Utd legend.
Ole's biggest concern will be not being beaten by lower PL managers who have much more PL experience than him - literally every PL manager has a better PL record than him at this point, which is obviously a very odd stat for the manager of Man Utd to have.
Yeah agree with that. I don't know how his team plays but read from Molde fan that he plays 4-3-3 and attacking game, which should be good.We just need to ensure the players are up to scratch with the basics of running and pressing prior to the next manager. Far too long have they been lethargic and clueless with relation to pressing and movement under both LvG and Jose.
If they get used to a certain style, they will respond quicker to the next manager's tactics.
Yeah, I mean great tactical football. I'm also assuming that we play open football and with lots of freedom.I actually think its the other way around, we might have a lot of high scoring games by being too open. The fans might actually want to turn up for it.
Season was over 2 months ago. And McKenna has no experience.The season is officially over. I'd go with McKenna instead of Ole. Really really bad choice, we're hopeless
Fair enough, not disagreeing with you about either of them more just pointing out another high profile manager who did just that!Hiddink was mates with Roman and wasn’t interested in a full time gig. People here seem to be thinking Jardim or ZZ are going to accept a caretaker position, it’s nonsense.
Maybe not in terms of results. But I do hope he will advocate more attacking football.Meh enough of the sentimental bs can't see him doing any better than Mourinho would have tbh. An interim solution if ever there was one

It just shows how clueless you are.
Yes, it shows how bad Ole as a coach is
That was slightly different because Madrid had a genuinely excellent team that was underperforming.With an exception of benetez zidane case. Let's hope ole really gets these players.
Agreed. Very skeptical of small achievements being used to get him the permanent job. I'm excited to see what he can do but weary of us jumping the gun with respect to Ole.He shouldn't get it regardless. He not good enough for long term. Alright as interim but that's about it.
We have a pretty good squad as well, which should be performing way better than this.That was slightly different because Madrid had a genuinely excellent team that was underperforming.
It’s an entirely different debate if it’s permanent. I don’t see too many options who will be ready to pounce for an interim role who guarantees more than someone like OGS. Idea is to really look to get the DOF and new manager sorted while OGS lifts the mood and does his Cv no harm.Agreed. Very skeptical of small achievements being used to get him the permanent job. I'm excited to see what he can do but weary of us jumping the gun with respect to Ole.
The update we received that this is an interim appointment with the club taking its time to go through the process of hiring the next permanant manager, is perfect IMO.
