Ole's biggest issue (as it was with our previous managers) is that he is not able to make and implement decision that need taking from a position of strength.
He is actually in a worse position to our previous managers in that he is still considered a "rookie" manager who has yet to prove himself at the highest level.
Being able to make decision, from a position of strength, for a manager in such a historic club, requires a few pre-requisites
1/ Have the full backing of the board and full control of which players are brough in or sold
2/ Have players who are able to step in and take the place of "under performing" players
3/ Have a number of players in the squad who are "strong characters" and are in full agreement with the manager and the direction the club is going
1, 2 & 3 than give the manager the "courage" to implement the changes that need implementing without the fear of "losing the dressing room" or "upsetting" certain key player
Its so easy as fans to cry and whine, saying "why didnt Ole do this" and "why hasnt Ole done that", easy looking in from the outside without an inkling on whats going on inside.
Now, of course, blame must be attributed to all, Ole cannot be faultless, but he needs the tools to do the job.
The people who are making the decisions at our club have proved they are clueless.
From day one, why bring in Moyes without certain restrictions that could be "relaxed" after he has proven himself, i.e. dont break up the coaching staff and a title winning team from the get go.
Why bring in Van Gaal, knowing full well the type of manager he is and then being "spineless" about it once the fans start complaining.
Almost everybody associated with football, who has half a brain, knows what type of manager Mourinhio is, the type of players he likes and the style of play he implements. So what was the point in bringing him in and than not backing him, irrespective of if the players he wanted were not deemed the "correct" ones by God knows who.....
And now we come to Ole, a knee jerk appointment by a non qualified board.
Its understandable that those of us who associate ourselves with this club, as fans, could have got carried away with Ole's appointment and the manner it was made, however, thats is not Ole's fault, we all know who/are were responsibilty for that.
So all in all, I am still Ole in as you need to back your manager and seeing our board took a decision to hire a manager who we would have to "grow" with (well you would assume that was a given, right ??), they should either back him or resign.
They are now on the 4th manager after Sir Alex and the pattern of how they are condcuting themselves is very clear.
Money first, everything else is a secondary factor, thats why we will never see any of the upper management resign (im talking about the board, not coaching staff etc).
And before some of you come and say the Glazers have spent money on players etc, well yeah, they have spent, but how have they spent?
They have spent with no plan, no direction, because they know nothing about football ...........
