And if we finished the season very strongly and it appeared that Solskjaer was up to the job then Woodward has a big decision to make for the long term interests of the club.
Everyone needs to stop mentioning DiMatteo.
Yep. Theres a difference in getting a fluke CL win and actually improving the side and showing his tactical acumen and showing improvements the longer he is with us. Ole really turning us around and showing the right mentality and ability from now til the end of the season and taking over full time is the dream scenario, and I really hope that the board are open to the idea. He doesnt need to win the CL or even specifically get top 4 to do it. We'll see though.
Ole and carrick arent that far apart.
But the way they perceive and understand football probably isn't the same.
Still it's not a given that carrick is better than ole. Ole has actually managed a few teams in his own. Carrick is just a coach under a failed manager.
Who said anything about one being better than the other? I was pointing out how they are all complementing each other with different experiences from their playing days, being coached in different times during SAF's era, their view on football etc.
There's no clause for the full-time job, per the BBC.
But also a link to the current players. In terms of an interim management team to the end of the season it's pretty much as good as we could hope for.
TBF there's Di Matteo and there's Zidane. We don't know yet. We better talk about it after we play some big games and see how will it pan out.
Well, while I agree with this, its also naive to think our coaching team wouldn't think about this. So at this point its really irrelevant now until we actually face a team like that.
He's given 6 mths to awe us. A once in a bluemoon chances he should take with both arms. Not many are privileged to even had this chance.
I thought he has great record there? Molde never win the league in their history before, and Ole had already won them 2 league titles, and previous 2 seasons his team finished 2nd place too, with highest scoring record in the league?
He won back to back titles with Molde. Not that the Norwegian league is worth looking at though.
There are better managers out there who will get us to play an exciting brand of football,and yes,like Solskjær they have good man management skills.We appointed 3 managers that were instinctively defensive/reactive....Lets just appoint an attacking coach who will let the lads play with freedom and who knows how to handle big players and big egos.
He won them their first two titles, he's been everything but mediocre for them. More or less legendary.
According to Bellamy when he got there the situation was already toxic. He got there and tried to implement his ideas and realized really quickly that it wouldn't work. Then he tried to play negative football and it continued to go per shaped. The club was mess, not sure if any conclusions can be made from that stint.
But we didn't lose, we won rather convincingly, in fact, with arguably the best overall performance post-Fergie.
Zidane and Pep were both rookies when hired by huge clubs.
