It's an unusual rehab plan.He was riding on a horse as of yesterday

Very good points, but if it goes well he will get the credit and if it goes badly then Jose's legacy was the problem.There's no way to know for sure until we see some actual results, but thinking United is back to normal just because of an appointment is like the definition of moronic. Especially when that appointment already left a club in this country at a lower level for being shit. So maybe he'll do amazing, maybe he won't, but anyone with any intelligence should be reserving judgement rather than acting like RAWK did when Dalglish was appointed and we all saw how that ended. I don't know how many times we need to see Real Madrid, Chelsea, Newcastle and in the last decade United appoint new managers who don't work out before we realise that appointing a manager doesn't have any magical properties that actually do anything and we shouldn't be dancing in the streets because someone we like got the job. Let's see what he does, and my heart hopes that it's wonders but my head tells me it might not be the case. I will be over the moon to be proven wrong, though.
Seriously, I haven't heard anyone say that they expect even a top 4 finish.I wish you all the best OLe, but most of these feckers on here are already expecting miracles.

Especially when "the Disparager" agrees with "the Prophet of Doom."The thread was nice until "The disparager" Arrived.
The season is not over, far from it. We could still make the CL places. With Ole as manager that is most likely never going to happen.It's the absolutely lowest risk move the club could make.
This.
Give an honest opinion, maybe some what pessimistic, that is not popular or in with the hope that a United legend will sort the club out and you get lambasted for it.
At the end of the day Ole hasn’t really proved himself to be a top manager, otherwise he would have managed more than Cardiff and Molde. He only got the job because of his legend status and connection to SAF.
Yeah, perhaps a bit pessimistic.The appointment of Solskjaer is an extremely poor decisions. It is an embarrassment and we are an absolute laughing stock to the rest of the PL.
Sorry to put doom and gloom into the thread. But lets be realistic, yes Solskjaer is a club legend as a player. But he has never set the footballing world alight with his managerial career. So why should he just walk automatically into one of the biggest clubs in the world with no top level managerial accumen.The thread was nice until "The disparager" Arrived.
Maybe this was the response I was looking to arouse.@Di Maria's angel At least you tried.
If he achieves the below, i'll be satisfied.I wish you all the best OLe, but most of these feckers on here are already expecting miracles.
Cheer up, it will soon be Xmas .I can 100% guarantee we won’t be “United again” in March. When we are out of every competition and sitting exactly where we are now in the leage table.

Why don't you your head up Mourinho and his million pounds wherever he goesI can 100% guarantee we won’t be “United again” in March. When we are out of every competition and sitting exactly where we are now in the leage table.

That's all I wantIf he achieves the below, i'll be satisfied.
- Finish in the top 6
- Have a run in the FA Cup
- Give it a good go against PSG
- Bring back attacking football
- Give a few youngsters a go
I particularly liked the we'll think about how we're going to play and not worry too much about the opposition comment he made. That's the "we're United" type of attitude we've all been longing for, no more of this turning up to Brighton and playing two DMs shite.That sneer against Juventus turned me off from Jose completely. It is one thing to shout or have an argument or even swear but sneering with that face is not for a Manchester United Manager. Ole has changed this atmosphere completely with his first interview. He said it is not about him but about the club and we know it is coming from his heart and not a PR stunt.
Look, nobody is expecting Ole to come in and perform miracles. We won't win the league, top-four is highly unlikely and the CL is far beyond our capabilities at this point. The FA cup is a possibility I guess - albeit remote. So long as he sticks with attacking football for the remainder of the season, promotes youth as much as possible and injects an element of positivity into the club, we can't really ask for much more.Sorry to put doom and gloom into the thread. But lets be realistic, yes Solskjaer is a club legend as a player. But he has never set the footballing world alight with his managerial career.

It would be great for him to do great as it fits amazingly into our fantasy of a United legend being a success for the club. But the reality is that he is not that good of a manager and should not be managing a club as big as this for 6 months.
To be fair, we've heard exactly the same posts from 99% of this forum, every second of every day for the lat few months. It's a bit rich anybody criticising it now when it's aimed at a manager far, far less successful in management than Mourinho. If we're being realistic, Ole hasn't really built up any sort of reputation in management so his point is valid, even if i don't share his outlook.Cheer up, it will soon be Xmas .
We were saying that about mourinho because he's been managing us for 3 years and it was evident on the pitch we would be going nowhere. Ole has only arrived at the club today, let's give him a few game before we all start getting negative again.To be fair, we've heard exactly the same posts from 99% of this forum, every second of every day for the lat few months.

I'm sorry, English isn't my first languageYou can fit in your piano?!
We just have to see how your outlook starts to shift, haven't we?To be fair, we've heard exactly the same posts from 99% of this forum, every second of every day for the lat few months.

Oh don't mind me!I'm sorry, English isn't my first language
The feel-good factor in this thread is off the chain.
Let us drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
As a mark of thanks, I will send you the video clip to youOh don't mind me!
What are you talking about?Oh look the Sanchez haters
Am i doing it right?
Same here. Solskjaer gets a free hit here for me. If it goes badly no one will blame him, if we do okay we'll all be satisfied, if he does brilliantly he keeps the job. It's a no lose situation for me, I'll be at least satisfied regardless of what the eventual outcome of the season is.That's all I want
Couldn't agree more. Until the last of the Jose acolytes reform themselves there will be burning embers of dissent on here.Apart from the anti-Pogba brigade, does feel like this place is a bit more united again, won’t last obviously!
What did you want then? Continue with Jose, who clearly had no clue anymore and was damaging the club and the players even further every *** with his negative demeanor and football style?Sorry to put doom and gloom into the thread. But lets be realistic, yes Solskjaer is a club legend as a player. But he has never set the footballing world alight with his managerial career.

Have to agree. I never tipped over to being Jose out, but unless Ole gets us relegated this is the best outcome.What did you want then? Continue with Jose, who clearly had no clue anymore and was damaging the club and the players even further every *** with his negative demeanor and football style?
Which other and better option than assigning Solskjaer was there? Getting someone like Blanc or Jardim in right away, which no doubt would be called a panic attack decision. Also, why would any of these managers want to step in right now in the middle of the season?
Letting Carrick manage the squad for the rest of the season? He has even less experience and (for me) more importantly he just stepped out of the group as a player so he is very near to many of them.
Getting a fresh person in who has connections to the club was a good idea. I personally did not expect it, but I can enjoy this situation very much. Especially because he has been a coach in our youth system and knows what it is about. If you want to start building for the future again, getting our own young stars in and develop them is a must. Hopefully Chong and Greenwood will be in the match squad the coming games, as Sanchez and Lukaku are absent.
Agree 100%. I really don't think any more can be expected of the guy.If he achieves the below, i'll be satisfied.
- Finish in the top 6
- Have a run in the FA Cup
- Give it a good go against PSG
- Bring back attacking football

True. I'm sure it will be 2 days we'll look back on fondly.
