This is in no way a thread to criticise Ole, who has been brilliant.
However, the skill-set we've needed for the last few weeks which Ole has basically performed perfectly, is only a small part of what we need over the coming years. After six years of abject shite, we're supposedly about to restructure with a DOF and also need a bit of a rebuild, so whoever comes in has a massive task on their hands to turn this ship around.
If the Glazers wanted Poch, for example, they'd need to deal with Levy (lets say £50m), give Poch a massive contract as well as promise Poch a big budget this summer (lets say £250m) and commit to a long term rebuild.
Ole would be much cheaper and have very little leverage to demand a transfer kitty from the owners, as he is so desperate to land the job.
Given the Glazers reluctance to back Mourinho in the summer, it looks like the purse stings might be tightening. Ole gives them the perfect chance to save a lot of money here so is anyone else, like me, concerned that money will be the deciding factor and not who is the best choice to lead this club forward?
