It’s not romanticism, it’s taken Ole only his first transfer window to identify not only the right players to bring in but also ones to get one. I have no doubt he will continue to remove our long overdue average players if given the chance and bring the right ones in. You might say he’s only done what we can all see but none off our previous managers managed to this so quickly.
The issue I have is his lack of coaching ability.
This is a rare but fair critique of Ole in my opinion. I think he has the right mix of personality and philosophies to succeed as Man Utd manager. However, I think he lacks the coaching credentials to succeed as Man Utd manager.
I think some people are keen to see him stay on from a "saving face" perspective, but a lot seem to genuinely love Ole from his time here as a player, and also for instilling the feel good factor back at the club temporarily last season. I feel like the options are keep him on and hope that he becomes more tactically apt (it's not looking good though as he is approaching the 1 year mark in the manager's chair) throughout his tenure... Or sack him and hopefully find a better manager who also has similar philosophies and ideas about the club.
Personally, I think he should be given the Jan window to bring in at least a forward (hopefully a midfielder too), since as you said - where he has genuinely excelled so far is in our recruitment. After that, I hate to say it, but I see no reason to allow him to continue driving us towards a relegation battle. A "re-build" with the resources available should not really take more than 1 year to at least appreciate the early fruits of labour.
He should not be made DoF in my opinion either. Van der Sar is the only "oldhand" that should be even getting consideration for that role, and even still I feel like this over reliance on titans from the past is a big part of what's currently going wrong in this generation of Old Trafford.
