Ole has shown nothing in the EPL or anywhere of large scale merit. Clubs employ based on having a CV, not winging it about being a legend.
There's no irony in calling someone who has shown nothing shite, the idiocy is believing he'll miraculously come good. We're the only club who's appointed a manager with a cv that would get him thrown out of every other top club with raucous laughter .
I think that is a bit harsh to be honest.
When he first came the football was the best since SAF. The team were getting confidence and Ole pushed them to see what he could get out of them. He didnt have enough time to turn players around and improve fitness levels as well as identify the players that need to move asap + the in fighting over wages and contract negotiations of so many senior players contracts running out and players like Ander agreeing a deal with PSG etc.
We were all living the impossible dream anyway, the fact that we got our season turned around should have been enough after Mourino's slump and just missing out on CL was exciting as well as disappointing. The stadium came alive, the atmosphere when we played Barca at OT was like the days of SAF..Electric!
If he can reproduce that energetic fast passing and scoring with 'HIS' players then I think we will all be happy with the exception of a few who seem to think Pochitino would have us challenging for the league title in his first season.
I say give Ole and the players some time and proper support, who ever we sign. For even if we had a different "top shelf" manager, it might take 2 or three seasons to get the right players and playing in a style that not only makes us competitive again, but also a joy to watch, no easy task.
We are too far away from the pinnacle now, so we can afford a few initial losses if we can see a team of new and existing players in a system that is actually improving and trying new things.First passing and shooting, then, Perhaps set pieces and spreading out on the pitch?
There are so many areas we can improve upon, address these and we should be right behind Ole with belief as well as support.
Getting upset because we are not the best will not help our current situation.
The team and the manager needs us at home.
The united away fans are exceptional, there are no better fans on the planet, thats why we play better away than at home.
We the match going fans must shoulder some responsibility for the season too. I've personally been guilty of apathy too many times this season at Old Trafford. Im going to make a point of singing a bit louder next season, and try and amplify the atmosphere instead of allowing it to drizzle away with sighing at shocking passes whilst waiving my hand upwards in despair. No More.
C'mon you reds!
