Pochettino only has seven players left from the squad he inherited at Spurs. He has rebuilt the squad through his own wise judgment. Trophies or not that is encouraging. Whether a manager knows a club is rose tinted poppycock. Short term yes Ole has and I expect will be good for United. Long term is anyone's guess.
While this is true and seems to be a bit of a prevailing point made in the media it doesn’t escape the fact that we’ve scored 12 goals in 3 games, that’s nearly half of what we got in 17 games under Mourinho.
Agreed. But it also I think it works both ways, I mean we tried the other subject with hiring an experienced well know coaches and they still almost did not good enough though.
Why does it matter where he’s come from??
Moyes came into a dressing room with not one medal in his pocket as a manager. That was farcical considering the dressing room he walked into. The current dressing room is different.
Exactly, I know the euphoria will die down but irrespective of this, I don't think any of the other candidates are a better fit. I think whats important here is the coaching team. Phelan, Carrick and McKenna play very important supporting roles so I hope we hire the lot.
And we are high-pressing the shite out of teams and winning balls in the opposing half, instead of giving opponents the ball and sitting back
The past five years have mostly made for dreadful viewing, but the last three games have genuinely been brilliant fun. Yes it's likely to unravel and get a bit ugly again around mid-February, but there's no sense in worrying about that now. Obviously the fixtures have been a bit kind to us here, but just enjoy it!
That will be DoF's job not Ole's. If we get a proper DoF, he should be in charge of transfers and building the team while Ole and his stuff are just coaching.
Yeah, if we get a good DoF Ole is my first choice for manager, but at the moment we don't have one and unless that changes there is still a fair bit of uncertainty.
Excuse me
I think he ticks many of the same boxes as Moyes and fails to tick similar ones. I rate Kane so highly and think that it is indefensible how they’ve not won anything or competed at the business end with real regularity with him leading the line and a good team around him. Poch would have already been sacked at United if he had just qualified for the CL each season and spun his wheels. You can’t just waste the prime years of top talents and not prioritise winning things, whilst never been good enough to win the big prizes you supposedly aspire for.
I'm not worry about it at all. I'm just saying the timing we decided to hire Ole is perfect. He needs to start easy first before get the hard one, the schedule is like step by step and that's why I call it perfect schedule for him.
At one point in 2nd half before the sent off, both of our CBs were well into Bournemouth's half helping the press and putting the pressure. I thought it was great. I don't mean doing it all the time against all teams. It just shows that we are not afraid to commit players up front.
So, we shouldn’t consider Solskjær for the permanent gig?
Beautiful post.
The assistant manager. The ass man.Excuse me
IF, Ole continues this sort of turnaround for the rest of the season how about Ole as manager with Fergie as interim DOF (basically an advisor to Ed until we get a real DoF).
I'm getting giddy! But its hard not to having seen 3 successive managers, with no connection to the club, balls things up.
No, sorry, I cant get passed the visual image of Ole being Pochs ass man.
Then Mourinho shat the bed with a stupidly defensive and boring setup against Liverpool. The momentum was never regained till he was sacked. Should have known it then, that he's not the man for this club.
He’d be a great ass man for Poch
Hold your horses Scottie. We've had bad luck with early extensions before. We still don't know if he has the balls to get rid of Fellaini, Rojo, Darmian, Jones, Mata and Valencia, or if he's wise enough buying players. Let's hope we can get Mitchell in who'd already know the club, what we want and what we need.
Yep, the only thing to worry about him is if he has some ruthlessness in him like SAF did. You have to be able to get rid of players and tell them as well. I think he can learn from SAF in that aspect.
Aye.
Although Phelan is officially the Assistant Coach, I've heard a journalist on the radio claim that he does a lot more than his job title suggests.
