We all love a bit of Solksjaer, especially after Mourinho had milked the whole experience of supporting United of any joy whatsoever. The sour one's management was like a slow and torturous death. feck me, it was the lowest we could get.
In fact José's appointment was a shit managerial decision but there can be no doubt about it, the club's shockingly amateurish board has made an even greater feck-up in giving the post to OGS on a permanent basis. There was absolutely no need to back ourselves into a corner with prematurely signing Olé. A rookie mistake that could cost us another couple of years in the wilderness. We really could not be run more shittily if we tried.
To manage a hungry top club that needs to challenge for trophies it's simply not enough to personify the mythical 'United way',even if dressed up in a mr nice guy package. After 6 years of mismatched and clueless managers our squad is in a pretty bad state. How does United plan to implement the pressing changes needed? It feels again that United are stuck in the past trying to retreat to 92 instead of forging a new 21st century identity and ferocious ambition.
In contrast lets look for a moment at Liverpool fc's and UAEcity's managerial appointments. Behind both Klopp's clownish heavy metal persona and Guardiola's,trendy baldy guy in tight jeans, media persona, there is an insatiable and ruthless will to win combined with natural leadership qualities and a forceful and galvanising organisational capacity that only adds to their steely killer instinct.
Not forgetting that our form has been absolutely diabolical since Olé was made permanent and despite the goodwill many of us hold for Olé, it remains to be seen whether he has either the tactical nous and even more challengingly, the ruthlessness of personality to succeed at a club like United.
To stamp his authority then, getting rid of the deadwood is neccessary. The likes of Young, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Lindgard, Matic and Mata all need clearing out. Pogba, Rashford and Martial should be moved on too if they don't buck up their ideas.
Even if we get a few new signings in, which will not be easy due to our competitors being more attractive atm what with having a clear identity, a recognisable style of football, champions league, charismatic world class managers and put simply much better footbal played , we don't know if Olé has the balls to stamp his authority on the dressing room and get the most out of this squad.
