That’s why I want OGS out. If you can’t see the player that have been stinking the place up for a while should leave.
That's the question.
Calm down no need for Brendan Rodgers
What specifically positives have you seen?
The point is they didn’t. Other factors simply ended the new manager bounce.
The reason United is able to make so much profits is because our football results at just the right time (the premier league era beginning) made us one of the most marketable sporting entities around. But another 15 years of the results we are seeing now and sponsors will want to associate with other clubs. Especially the successful ones.
Exactly.
Unruly players with poor attitude/downing tools. What's the difference?
With a username like that, maybe you aren’t the best judge of character
I've already addressed your last point. The players lost confidence after a couple of defeats and Ole has failed to organise and he has failed to motivate the players out of the slump which is his job as the manager. They are not 'downing tools' as such, its a loss of confidence that has been compounded by Ole's management of that crisis. Now Pogba has had a look about and realised we are going nowhere fast and he is going to waste his prime here.
Who's he meant to play? Other than turning to players who have barely played a minute of first team football in their lives he's given everyone a chance and there inevitably comes a time where you have no one else left to try and have to go back to the same old shit
And what would that achieve? Thats actually setting him up for failure. The young players you mention, may have talent but are definitely not ready to spearhead a transformation. Even the class of 92 had leaders like Eric and Roy Keane to guide them.
Totally agree.
Like all the managers since SAF left he won’t be prepared to do what needs to be done.
It would make sense for the Glazers to sell though. This is a high revenue generating asset playing in a very marketable league.
We're going round in circles here.
He probably knew he was getting the job (talks had started) so he then realised there was more risk to playing the youth.
Not really, the mistake was signing him permanently too early. As soon as we made it official everything dropped that 10%.
I will not give him any slack because his from Norway. Its to early to judge him and he and the club got a hell of a job in the coming years. I will not stand by if he does a poor job in the future.
Or common sense, since we had seen the same thing at other clubs like Shakespear at Leicester and DiMatteo at Chelsea being examples.
I don't think he will be here longer than 12 months personally, that's a maximum.
It saves us from buying players that our next potential manager won’t believe would be good enough to fit his philosophy. It will be like a loop again. £100m plus the sale of our players is more than enough to succeed. Pogba might go for £160m which might be unfortunate for the next manager who might think he could have gotten the best out of him. With that fund we can make reasonable acquisitions and not wholesale changes that will set us back further if we get in the wrong players.
. It was more than 3-4 games, it was 15. That’s a fair chunk and nobody expected it to fall off a cliff the way it has.
Again the evaluation of a manager should really be looking at how they handle the tough situations like a couple of losses.
Maybe we'll buy a striker but primarily we need a RB, CM, RW and maybe a CB.
For what reason though? I am all for playing youth (if they are good enough), but why should we hamstring ourselves like that when we all know way to many of these players are not close to good enough. We have loads of money, net spend trophies are not something most fans value
Seems odd to stop doing the things that got you the job, and were clearly working, maybe not sustainable, but working all the same.
In reality is quite normal, explains also why some players find it difficult when they step up to a better club, they don't feel confident to do what they usually do due to fear of failure, so they play safe.
True, so the conclusion is we should have kept Ole on a rolling week by week contract, he'd probably have accepted it as well.
Post based on absolutely nothing, zero.
