So we ignore what happened before?Since he got made permanent we're in the relegation zone.

Yeah, exactly what happened. If he got us CL football I would understand but really we went in such a bad form that could be only rivalled by Brighton and Huddersfield.You wonder if that PSG game did us more harm than good in the end. Not having a go at Ole here. More that the board got carried away with the euphoria of it all, we all did really and that got him the job. If they had waited, then the players may, may being the word, carried on trying to get him the job. Unfortunately we picked up a lot of injuries, some actually before that game and the rest got complacent or were too busy worrying about their future rather than the clubs. At least we might have got CL football and recruitment might have become simpler.
It's not like other clubs haven't jumped the gun and appointed a caretaker manager who had a run of good games. He has the job now so we will have to get on with it, but his signings will be either the making or the end of him.So we ignore what happened before?
Don't we need to consider both before and after?So we ignore what happened before?
Solari and Lopetegui would’ve been fired on the spot if they let the club go into their worst form since 57 years.So they still hired a rookie? No one is saying he can replicate them, since he took over we're 3rd in the league not sure not sure how you came to that bold conclusion.
Solari was a caretaker and nothing more and got replaced once they found first choice manager.
Lopetegui was rightly fired just like our previous managers for being shit while spending hundreds of millions.
we finished 6th under Ole when he took over with 0 goals difference plus 8 points behind 4th, did well to make up the points with a squad of players who were playing walking football for the past 2 years. Under Jose we lost vs Derby in the cup, so loosing to wolves wasn't a shock and if you expected us to beat Barca then I'd suggest MRI scan, Winning nothing? yeah lets sack him.
Fortunately we're not the complete circus Real Madrid are otherwise we would of never had fergie, they're so stupid they sacked Del Bosque after he won them CL and league titles.
I’m willing to give it a try, after four painful appointments already it’s time to come to terms with the fact it’s our players who are the problem.Why? He got hired on the same 10 games basis as a knee jerk reaction. About her 10 games will be enough to consider to fix that mistake.
Ole got us in the worst form since 57 years mate. Do you really want to give the rebuilding job to him? Do you honestly believe he could be Zidane rather than Moyes?
If you are in clubs management will you really give hundreds of millions to a nobody with also very poor transfer record in the past (Cardiff), and who also finished the season in a disasterous way?
As separate set of results? if yes then why?Don't we need to consider both before and after?
Think the players are the problem to an extent, but unfortunately I think we will be keeping the problem players who have stolen a living at United for years. Yes if the likes of Lukaku and Sanchez go it will help, but if we start the season with the same back 4 it will be same old again.I’m willing to give it a try, after four painful appointments already it’s time to come to terms with the fact it’s our players who are the problem.
Why are looking at only one set of results, why not consider all since he's been here? I know it suits your agenda but its rather embarrassing to see someone post the same rubbish again and again without looking at everything. Well, tbh I am expecting a bit much from someone who said our winning run was only due to our players and bad run was on Ole (still the dumbest comment I've seen here).Solari and Lopetegui would’ve been fired on the spot if they let the club go into their worst form since 57 years.
Since he was appointed he got us as good as Brighton and Huddersfield - we scored same amount of goals as them.
If he is hired on the basis of 10 games why can’t he be sacked on the basis of the same amount of games?
Don’t see another manager making any difference in that scenario, at least I know Ole’s hearts in the right place unlike the last one who was only in it for himself.Think the players are the problem to an extent, but unfortunately I think we will be keeping the problem players who have stolen a living at United for years. Yes if the likes of Lukaku and Sanchez go it will help, but if we start the season with the same back 4 it will be same old again.
I know. It's absolutely ridiculous. There are only 4 places and 4 trophies up for grabs each season with 6 top teams and another 3 or 4 coming up on the outside to challenge for them. Two top teams are going to 'fail' every season. Imagine not winning the title for nearly 30 years?? But the Dippers are still there after years of mediocrity and now on the rise again. It seems to be Arsenal's turn now. These things happen.SAF wouldn't survive with this lot of fans these days. So entitled, so quick to judge and yet know nothing.
Indeed, If the likes of smalling,jones,young,mata,lingard etc are starting regularly then he'll be sacked for the same mistakes made by Jose. Hopefully he isn't as stupid as jose was in keeping them in the first team.It's not like other clubs haven't jumped the gun and appointed a caretaker manager who had a run of good games. He has the job now so we will have to get on with it, but his signings will be either the making or the end of him.
To achieve what? What if he isn't the right man and we persist with him for years? Has he proved that he has the ability to create a great team? Where?I know. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I just hope these idiots don't get on Solskjaer's case this season. It's going to take time.
That doesn’t really answer my question mate. do you think he is closer to another Zidane, Pep or Klopp or Di Matteo, Moyes and all?I’m willing to give it a try, after four painful appointments already it’s time to come to terms with the fact it’s our players who are the problem.
I’m not. I said if we are looking at appointing him after 10 games why shouldn’t we be looking to sack him after the same set of criteria - 10 games? Can you answer me this?Why are looking at only one set of results, why not consider all since he's been here?

To sack a manager after a bad run. Luckily we're not Real Madrid or a club run by complete idiots who hold this view, fortunately our owners are just idiots rather than complete idiots.
If the rumours about the RB position are correct it is a start, but I worry that if we do not get the CB player we are in for we might just do with what we have and be in the same sinking boat again.Indeed, If the likes of smalling,jones,young,mata,lingard etc are starting regularly then he'll be sacked for the same mistakes made by Jose. Hopefully he isn't as stupid as jose was in keeping them in the first team.
Everybody was drooling over Poch but he's achieved nothing. So what were his credentials for taking over United?? Mourinho won 2 trophies in his first year and got us to 2nd....but he's gone.To achieve what? What if he isn't the right man and we persist with him for years? Has he proved that he has the ability to create a great team? Where?
People don’t seem to grasp that managers like Klopp, Pep and Fergie came to Liverpool, City and United they came as one of the best managers in the world and on the basis of that they got the extended time. Ole on other hand came as the guy that relegated Cardiff and hasn’t won anything even in Norway since 8 years or something.I know. It's absolutely ridiculous. There are only 4 places and 4 trophies up for grabs each season with 6 top teams and another 3 or 4 coming up on the outside to challenge for them. Two top teams are going to 'fail' every season.

I’ve also said that he should be given credit for the winning run but also held accountant for the losing run.
Also I’ve not said it black and white but responding to other posters who conveniently skated the players for the losing run but also didn’t give them credit for the winning one. Of course that suits your agenda
Where are Real now and where we are and who are really the ones that have taken moronic decisions in the last 6 years?
So we give Real and Barca credit for appointing rookies but completely ignore them being ruthless to the same rookies if they don’t see anything even in short notice (couple of months)? Isn’t that a bit of facetious thing to do?
Would Liverpool give Klopp time if it wasn’t for his work at Dortmund (the credentials that got him the job in the first place)?
That is such a poor argument. Winning is winning, regardless of past achievements. Otherwise van Gaal or Mourinho would still be here....they never got extended time because they were shite and just wrong for United despite their impressive and creditable CVs. Klopp and Poch have been at their respective clubs for longer and only up to now have only one of them won something.People don’t seem to grasp that managers like Klopp, Pep and Fergie came to Liverpool, City and United they came as one of the best managers in the world and on the basis of that they got the extended time.

And today's top red prize goes to...I know. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Sorry mate but it just seems you're trying to prove your worth as a fan by ranting at people you don't even know, on a fecking Internet forum. Get a grip of yourselfEverybody was drooling over Poch but he's achieved nothing. So what were his credentials for taking over United?? Mourinho won 2 trophies in his first year and got us to 2nd....but he's gone.
So I don't get your point? What do you mean by persisting? Would you be happy with Poch playing decent football but winning nothing or happy with Mourinho winning bits but playing dire football?
Unless you've got a crystal ball or know something I don't, no one knows whether any manager is going to be right for any club. Liverpool stuck with Klopp and finally after 3/4 years he's won them something. Like I said OGS came in after half a season. We ALL know where the problems are yet he's been judged before the season has even started and transfer season closed. It's just so dumb. I really, really hope he does a great job to shut these shortsighted idiots up.
So if Ole is 6th or 7th come December - which is not so wild considering the state we’re in you still would back him?Because to use that approach is Real madrid like (replied before, I suggest you read first) and fortunately we're not as stupid as madrid.
No you didn't at first which was why I replied to your stupid comment otherwise you made good points in the same post, don't embarrass yourself further. I have my opinion which is, it was the manager and players, others have theirs. You said it was all on the players for the good part but bad run was on Ole, which was why I commented on your post. Once again ridiculous post.
To each their own, I would never want to see United be as pathetic as Real Madrid who sack their managers after winning them CL and leagues. They even wanted to sack Zidane after winning them back to back CLs, never want to see United be as soulless as those clowns.
So appointing a manager mid way and not even giving him a transfer window is fair because we went on a bad run but just ignore the good run or call it luck, some luck of 14 games or so, Well according to you it was all on the players.
Jose had credentials but we saw no improvement in our approach, we were playing like cowards vs the likes of derby/bristol city and his plan was to buy Old players for 60 odd million while getting rid of young ones and he gave up which was just pathetic............So much for credentials.
If we don't see improvements under Ole he'll face the same fate as jose but if we do see improvements in style and results (not talking about winning the league) then he'll be given more time, just as any other manager would be.
Worst form since over a decade isn’t progress mate.That is such a poor argument. Winning is winning, regardless of past achievements. Otherwise van Gaal or Mourinho would still be here....they never got extended time because they were shite and just wrong for United despite their impressive and creditable CVs. Klopp and Poch have been at their respective clubs for longer and only up to now have only one of them won something.
So as long as OGS is making progress, he should afforded the same amount of time.
Klopp proved himself as a top manager before taking over Liverpool. Ole hasn't. The difference is pretty obvious.Everybody was drooling over Poch but he's achieved nothing. So what were his credentials for taking over United?? Mourinho won 2 trophies in his first year and got us to 2nd....but he's gone.
So I don't get your point? What do you mean by persisting? Would you be happy with Poch playing decent football but winning nothing or happy with Mourinho winning bits but playing dire football?

" [ and TheCafe knows all of the "top-class" candidates that are available ] "If there's a top-class candidate available now, someone who ticks all the boxes and is happy to come to us, we should get rid of Solskjaer. If not, we should stick with him and give him a chance. Simple, isn't it?
No one has a crystal ball but in the aggregate, past-performance is an indication of future performance.Everybody was drooling over Poch but he's achieved nothing. So what were his credentials for taking over United?? Mourinho won 2 trophies in his first year and got us to 2nd....but he's gone.

It all depends on how we're playing, if we're trash and in that position then he has to go but if we're playing well but missing plenty of chances then I would like him to have more time as there is improvement in our play etc...So if Ole is 6th or 7th come December - which is not so wild considering the state we’re in you still would back him?
If next year we still finish outside top 4 you would still back him? Would sacking him in December would do us better than sacking him now, simple question?
You are pinning your chops on someone who has been around in management for 10 years. Pep and Zidane won titles in their first years in management. If Ole was so good why wasn’t he tracked and given higher profile job before? Should we completely disregard his failure at Cardiff?
If he doesn’t make it will you pull the hindsight argument on my “ridiculous post” next time we discuss it?
I’m not going to discuss anything with person who goes on to make his point insulting other members and related to me in this case. Post reported.It all depends on how we're playing, if we're trash and in that position then he has to go but if we're playing well but missing plenty of chances then I would like him to have more time as there is improvement in our play etc...
Once again it depends on how much improvement there is. Sack a manager now when he was given the job weeks ago, yeah thats the way to go. Who knows whether we will sack him in december or not but to say we should sack him now because we went on a bad is rather stupid.
Are you disregarding klopps failure at Mainz? he got them relegated. Funny how he's doing well know considering he was so shit that he got them relegated. A manager can improve? , what a strange concept. We had Jose a manager with great credentials playing fellaini and begging him () to stay, I'd rather back a manager who wants to play the right way than someone who wants united to be stoke city regardless of how much success they've had. I believe in improvement and am not a close minded person.
So your argument is why weren't everybody in for him? There are so many good managers about but they're unemployed, care to explain why they haven't been given a job? Maybe owners are stupid enough to think bad run is on the manager and good run on players..........maybe?
Your post crediting only the players for good run and Ole for bad run, will always be at the highest level of stupidity regardless of whether he's a success here or not. That won't ever change.
Hindsight? no need for that, it will always be ridiculous and the fact that you think validity of your post depends on Ole's success here, shows your moronic logic behind it.
Are you saying that Ole should have exclided those 3 players from the first team squad during the season? And replaced them with who exactly?Anyone who keeps players like Young, Lingard or Smalling not only in the first team, but also in the first squad shouldn't be a manager in any club, not to mention Manchester United. I don't trust Ole, at all. He proved he's the wrong guy, now he is sticking to the players, who have been dragging us down for years now.
IMO its moronic logic to say bad run is only on the manager and good run only on players, not sure how else i could have put it (if it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck then guess what, its a duck), not insulting anyone but it is what it is. I am sure you only apply this logic to Ole but not to Jose or any other manager at any other club.I’m not going to discuss anything with person who goes on to make his point insulting other members and related to me in this case. Post reported.
You might as well grow up and learn how to lead a proper discussion if you are looking for one.
The irony...well done fella. Not ranting at anyone mate. You do know how forums work?Sorry mate but it just seems you're trying to prove your worth as a fan by ranting at people you don't even know, on a fecking Internet forum. Get a grip of yourself
As I’ve said I haven’t insulted other posters trying to get my point across. You have done so in two posts in a row. And the end of the day if I call you names it wouldn’t make my point stronger. You can disagree all you want but that doesn’t give you the right to insult others.IMO its moronic logic to say bad run is only on the manager and good run only on players, not sure how else i could have put it (if it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck then guess what, its a duck), not insulting anyone but it is what it is.

No person would consider that to be sound logic but if you're upset then you either don't get it or just upset because someone called it, what it actually is.
Embarrassing tbh. Repeating the same thing over and over while ignoring opposing points isn't discussion. But yeah.....
As I said before wasn't insulting anyone but calling it what it was.As I’ve said I haven’t insulted other posters trying to get my point across. You have done so in two posts in a row.

Once again, how much had Ole spent? Which players had he bought?
You really are delusional if you think Ole has singed anyone.
I’ll let the mods decide that.As I said before wasn't insulting anyone.
Think he is highlighting the insult part.
