Maybe you should all re-read my post. I was saying I think his time here is done. I think he's lost the dressing room, they don't believe anymore and I also don't think he's equipped at elite level.
I'm not however going to deny the fact that he did improve us like some of you like to do. Agenda-driven tinted-glasses maybe? Yes he improved us last season from his own results the season before. But why is it funny that he's improved his own results the following season? Surely you'd look for improvement year on year? Which is exactly why I think Ole's time is up now. He's not improved us on last season and if anything we've gone backwards.
However, feel free to pick out tiny snippets of a long post where I say his time is up, enjoy.
Because it's the yardstick you choose to compare what he has done. Results have been the same since he's here. He has ups and lows, where the lows are really bad and ups are generally what should be expected from a team that pours hundreds of millions and has the players we have.
Fast forward 3 years since Jose - we have a talented team that obviously can play a lot better but the next manager still has to invest a lot to look like his team.
AWB is not someone an attacking manager would relish at RB. Maguire I'd argue is bad fit for high line and with time can be even worse when he begins to lose pace. James is championship level player. Bruno looks good, but I'd question the fit alongside our midfield and generally would be an issue for the next manager to get the best of him when it comes to implementing his own formation and style.
Again - we have won zero under him, grown ever more inconsistent and have another batch of players that the next manager can't/won't use to the full potential.
He has no tactical value and it was evident since day one - we rely on individual brilliance, we can't cope with low block and our strength is packed at the back and counter teams that want to take something from the game or want to play attacking football.
Pack it at the back like Lampard did it and you have dull game with us devoid of ideas..
Our defence is in shambles since the start of the season - we concede chances for fun. Our attacking game - again devoid of ideas and relying on individual brilliance. So where did he take us exactly?
