I think it would be interesting for the Ole iners to actually list some concrete reasons what he offers the team that no other manager wouldn't.
Style of football: I mean, any old Paul Ince off the block could get a team with so much offensive quality to perform somewhat when the pressure is off with some in vogue pressing football. You'd expect a team of United's stature to be more dominant in possession though and not rely solely on counter attacking and spot kicks like some midtable club.
Tactics: Two years in and there's never been a 'Olle masterclass'. Poor in game tactics, sets up the team wrong and doesn't react well to what's going on at the pitch, bad subs. A solution to the defense/midfield woes is nowhere to be seen on the horizon.
Motivation: Players would go through a brick wall for Klopp, Ancelotti and others. It doesn't look like these players play for Solkjaer at all, maybe during the caretaking stint but not since then, so many games with the players just ponderously waltzing around looking clueless and he just sits there on the bench looking like a glum, uncharismatic Mourinho.
Player improvements: Has any player really improved with his coaching since he took over? Maybe Martial but that's mostly down to actually playing him as a striker.
I've tried to find some postivies but it just isn't there, he's a mediocre talent and I'm not sure what difference it would make giving him more time. What could he improve with some more time? More signings doesn't make a difference if they all get thrown into this systemless nothing side.
