Ole has won the lottery. No way he resigns.
My mate has just put a bet on him not being in charge for the first game next season at 8/1. Lump on.
This would not surprise me bearing in mind the state of the club at the moment.
Last night I 'dreamt' that he Quit after the Cardiff game (which we draw 0-0), saying 'I love this club too much to see it slide into decline, I don't think I'm the right person to turn the club around, so out of honesty I have offered my resignation'.
Players like this:
This is why a DOF is needed! We were supposed to appoint one before we hired Ole and it hasn't happened yet.
And have more
Like I’ve stated; it’s too late to poach one from another club.
Too many fans have been thinking with their hearts not their heads for too long. We're part of the problem too.
I think that is unfair. Fans have no impact on the decisions of the club, and being emotional and romantic is just part of the essence of being a fan of a football club. You take that away and we have no reason to follow any of these big money clubs. If you do a cold analysis on a lot of clubs you'll mostly find a cold business, with suspect owners etc. Not something you'd normally stand behind. Romanticism is all we've got.
I'm a bit confused by this. Yeah, we're in a bit of a slump right now having seemingly ran out of gas a bit, but what has Pochettino shown that makes us think he's the man for the job?
Pochettino has secured CL football for Spurs for 4 seasons running, all whilst operating on a shoe-string budget (including signing no new players at all for the last 2 transfer windows) and in the face of 5 other teams who have vastly outspent Spurs in terms of both wages and net transfer spend. Plus he has taken Spurs to the CL SFs this season and might yet reach the final.
Agreed. Pochettino is a loser, I don't want him near United.
Right, but what has worked for Spurs may not necessarily work for United. We already have enough fans who still, somehow, think that we could challenge next season. The job is a poisoned chalice as it is, without someone like Poch stepping in, who as well as he has done with Spurs, has not shown the crucial winning-edge that people seem to want. Moyes was considered to have done a brilliant job at Everton by many, but the biggest argument against him was having won nothing.
Who said or rather wrote that Manchester United are 'entitled' to trophies? You. The poster you replied to simply pointed out that Manchester United are in the business of winning trophies and even in slump years won them under Louis VG and Mourinho. As well I should add, during the unsuccessful managerial periods of Tommy Docherty and Dave Sexton as well as Big Ron Atkinson.
If you want a manager that fits these players then you would have to search long and well. Ole will get this right. He is the right man for the job imo. Be patient. He has to start the exodus and be given enough of a budget and time to make this work. He is working on Mourinos players still and clearly the players are either not fit enough yet to play his way or they are plain lazy. So exodus and re-build it is. Hopefully management has balls enough to give him the time he has already said was needed to get to the the top again.
Hear Hear. I'd love to know how all the Ole naysayers know so much about his character behind closed managerial/dressing room doors.
I truly do hope that Ole is successful just as I did with the previous guys. But it is only hope backed up by little in the way of confidence. Their success or failure is our success or failure.
Ooh yes, just what we need - another sacking of a manager at Manchester United!
I'd argue its just as crazy to trust a guy who pretty much everyone agreed was under-qualified for the job on permeant bases a less then 6 months ago, who already seems to have lost the ability to motivate the current team (80% at least of which will be here next season), who has no real experience of top level transfers beyond cardiff (which was a complete disasster) and with no decent infrastructure at the club to support him in this process, to oversee what needs to be the biggest restructuring of the club since the 80's.
A good one wouldn't come to such a badly run club. A bad one would do better in a well run club.
We literally just hired the most wanted manager in world football outside of Pep with our last hire and by all accounts managers were interested in the job to an extent. Woodward gave into nepotism and we're going to struggle for at least two more years because of it.
