I definitely agree that he was a gamble worth taking, but giving him the job before the season even finished was really stupid.
If he becomes a success, brilliant, a legend bringing us back to the top, what more could you ask for. If he doesn't, then we have the frustrating discussion of whether to sack him or not because "he gets the club". For a job as high profile as this, emotion shouldn't be taken into account. Take away the love for Ole and all we have is a manager who has good ideas but ultimately isn't tactically sound enough to bring United back to the top. He serves as a decent stopgap in terms of refreshing the squad and bringing some United values into it but long term he simply isn't good enough.
Still think he'll last the season though, despite the availability of Pochettino. Just because this season is basically a write off anyway so we'll see how he does with a full season and two transfer windows under his belt.
