Well this certainly fooled me
What actually happened was we’d won three trophies in 3 seasons and finished in our highest position and got our highest points tally since Fergie left.
Yes things ARE rubbish right now. I'm just sick and tired of people pretending its been rubbish since he was handed the job full time
It really isn't. Solskjaer is going to leave United with a better squad than he found it. A happier squad than he found it. No toxicity in the entire club. A clear path way for youth in the first team again. Things that also DID matter under Fergie alongside trophies. Things that the right better manager will have the platform to build on and win things from after him.
It’s probably fooled you because you appear to be confused with things in general. As seen by the rest of your post.
I sincerely apologise if that comes across as rude but it’s the only conclusion i can come to reading your posts.
The fact I said it was rubbish under Lvg and Mourinho was probably the clue that I did not mean all was rosy just because we won some trophies.
It also doesn’t mean it was rubbish for all of Jose and Lvgs reign but the last parts certainly were and the latter part of Oles reign is now as worse if not worse. That doesn’t mean it was rubbish the whole time, again this is implied and shouldn’t need pointing out.
Ole has spent 400 million, the squad should be better. In reality it’s not actually as good as it should be considering that kind of spend. I don’t think the 130 spent on wan Bissaka and Maguire has been the most effective. I don’t think ignoring our central midfield area and spending 125 million on a number 10 and right winger who you then never play is also a good way to spend money. But that’s just me, maybe I’m insane or something.
The atmosphere at the club is toxic right now. The performances are toxic. Fans aren’t happy, Some players aren’t happy and are making subtle posts on social media pointing that out. All that horseshit people held onto about toxicity and Mourinho was only gonna go as far until the results packed up under Ole which they are now. If you keep getting fecking smashed every week the atmosphere will turn toxic very quickly regardless of who you are.
A clear pathway to the first team? There always has been at United, Ole didn’t invent it. Lvg played more academy players than anyone. In Oles three years a total of one academy player has become a regular in the team and that’s Greenwood.
The problem with all the Ole propaganda buzz phrases that people use to justify his three years here is that when it comes to actually quantifying it by results and evidence it quickly falls apart and just looks like bullshit.
Things like “toxic atmosphere” “pathway to the first team” “better future” “better squad”. I mean what is this bullshit? The goal is to play good football, win football matches and win trophies as a a manager when you’re at the fecking club now/in the present. When you find yourself digging your own grave to defend a manager with everything mentioned but style, results and trophies you know you’ve gone wrong somewhere.
