I do. I’d love to manage Manchester United.I don't envy him. The size of the task facing him and this club is huge.

It's huge but he has nothing to lose.I don't envy him. The size of the task facing him and this club is huge.
We need to see this side from him more often. Too often he's seen as this super nice, optimistic guy.Tweet

No you’re wrong! He should be winning every single match with Fergie’s, Van Gaal’s and Jose’s players! Zidane would have us top of the league now and into the final of the World Cup!It's huge but he has nothing to lose.
Ole has the luxury of coming in mid-season to fully assess the squad without much pressure of getting any tangible results.

Wait has the journo phrased the above quotes as that in the tweet? Really?On players proving themselves
A lot of rumours between now and the end of the season is that an opportunity for players to prove they're in your thoughts going forward?
Every day in training, every game when you’re playing there’s no hiding place and everyone can see what your level’s at we’re working with fantastic staff to create this culture, players to take ownership of what’s happening here as well but the performances on the pitch will determine where they’re at in their careers if it’s short term or long term every single day and that’s what we spoke about at Barca, when you’re at big stadiums, you’ve got to step up, make good decisions and I’m looking forward to this period.
Needed to be said. Ole is very good at these pressers. I can see players enjoying playing for him, night and day from the depressing days of Jose.Fair play, positive vibes and words. Like the “reality check” line.
some of the players? The most positive things us fans have been able to say about this squad for weeks now is that "fred and mctominay are playing ok" and "wow sanchez had an ok 10 minutes against barca". About 6 players should be dropped for academy players just to send a message. Bluster at a press conference isn't enough.Tweet

so his "1 or 2 players" quote after barca looks more like reality now.Tweet

He hasn't singled out Martial at all. The interviewee asked about Martial so he replied like that but said in the next paragraph the same applies to rashford, Lukaku and Sanchez too.Martial fanboys won’t be happy! Well said Ole.
Like this part. Poeple who have no idea what is going on are being critical. That Ole is this defensive of the club to my mind, suggests he's well part of the process.On goals
Are there enough goals in this squad?
I think that’s not bad we wanna score more goals, always wanna see a 4-0 win but if you can get it less than one every we play I think it’ll end up quite high.
Technically that would be a good quick-fix. Buy 7 new players, sell 7 duds we have currently. But ok, atleast there is an intent to spend well this summer. This has been one of the most exciting seasons for neutrals and fans of other teams, but probably the worst season for us since Moyes despite making CL QF -- the initial misery of Mourinho, Pogba controversies, Out of the top 4, watching Liverpool and City compete for all the big trophies with a real danger of a Liverpool double, and every one of the Top 6 except ourselves being involved in some cup competition even now (Arsenal and Chelsea in Europa, Spurs in CL, Liverpool in CL and PL, City in PL and FA Cup).On the summer transfer window
Last summer was frustrating transfer wise, going to be a big summer for you, are you confident you won’t suffer the same frustrations?
Yeah because I’ve been speaking to the club, we know that we have to be realistic and have a job to be done, there’s no quick fix, it’s not like buy seven players and we’re in the right shape, we have to take step by step and there’ll be signings made but also has to be thoughts about players, sit down, have a pre-season. I can’t wait for it to come, there’ll be some additions, the players have got to come back and know what is expected of them, take ownership of that while on holiday and it will be great to see who’s coming back and as I said first of all this focus has to be on Everton.
Exactly, and I don't think he's impressed with any of his forwards either.He hasn't singled out Martial at all. The interviewee asked about Martial so he replied like that but said in the next paragraph the same applies to rashford, Lukaku and Sanchez too.
Honestly. I think most will be. We need to get the best out of him. He needs to be challenged to deliver.Martial fanboys won’t be happy! Well said Ole.
No it means no Gareth Bale.so his "1 or 2 players" quote after barca looks more like reality now.
Think he means buying a raft of players alone isn't a solution.Technically that would be a good quick-fix. Buy 7 new players, sell 7 duds we have currently. But ok, atleast there is an intent to spend well this summer. This has been one of the most exciting seasons for neutrals and fans of other teams, but probably the worst season for us since Moyes despite making CL QF -- the initial misery of Mourinho, Pogba controversies, Out of the top 4, watching Liverpool and City compete for all the big trophies with a real danger of a Liverpool double, and every one of the Top 6 except ourselves being involved in some cup competition even now (Arsenal and Chelsea in Europa, Spurs in CL, Liverpool in CL and PL, City in PL and FA Cup).
So we need a really good and efficient summer to compensate for this shitshow.
