Feck this is hard to watch. He deserved better. Shame it didn't work out. But I hope he knows every United fan still loves him for the absolute legend that he is.
Ole’s farewell interview
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
Good post and agree with you.
Doing it through the club he can say what he wants to say rather than being grilled by some hack.
He'll be back at OT sitting next to SAF in no time and Ole will get a brilliant reception from the crowd.
Don't think I've ever seen a post sacking interview like this before, I hope Ole actually wanted to do it and this isn't another case of being the good soldier for our parasitic owners.
Good post.
Apparently Van Der Beek was promised the last 15 seconds of the video.
It could have been better scripted but fair play to him for doing it - sincere and class act. Sadly just wasn’t up to taking us forward
As he should be.
A farewell interview would be weird if it was Mourinho or Van Gaal. But this is Solskjaer. He isn’t just some bloke, he has devoted a large portion of his life to United.
A farewell interview in this case is fitting. There’s no hard feelings, just two parties deciding to part ways because it didn’t work out, but he will always be a Red Devil and he will always be a Unites legend.

Yeah it’ll be fantastic. I can imagine some ‘supporters’ on here actually getting annoyed when people chant his name the next time we play at OT.
I feel so sad. Love Ole and hope some of our fans temper their comments. Disappointed to see some dismissive stuff being posted.
I hope he'll be all right. Always a legend, and most importantly, a decent man.

He has been sacked when he literally didn't have anything else to offer.
The Honeymoon was so great that he received a permanent position, even if that 6th position pretty much confirmed that he wasn't the man for the job (more like a decent interim). That Top3 in 2020 gave him another year, and that 2nd place in 2021 gave him another year. But after a solid transfer window, he has lost the plot this autumn. Completely. Powerless. Embarrassing. End of the line. It was the right time to pull the trigger.
What infuriates me is that he lost the plot after a decent 2nd place position (+ CR, Varane, and Sancho). You don't sack a manager that ends up 2nd. Nobody thought he would collapse after a Top2 campaign. Thanks, Ole, for ruining already the 21-22 season.

Absolutely. Well said.
Explain then rather than just stating your opinion as fact. I've just given you multiple examples that show his squad building hasn't been all that great in the grand scheme of things that show it isn't "very clear it's a much improved squad."
If you have nothing nice to say about Ole, just feck off from an appreciation thread. There’s a dozen other woe be me threads on the front page to jerk off to collective misery.
It's touching to see him getting so emotional and I think we should celebrate the fact we have our legends that truly love the club and that affection to United can bring a grown up man to tears, not all clubs are lucky like us in this regard and that's why United is still the greatest club in the world, even after almost a decade of playing like absolute shit.
Nonetheless, it's a bit of a weird move from the club and while I understand it's a part of dignified exit, Ole was a manager way below our level that seriously underachieved here, it really looks out of order. In fact if they didn't want Ole to lose his face, they should've sacked him much earlier, latest being after the LFC game.

My sentiments exactly.
The last 30 seconds of the interview is a painful watch. He's holding back tears, his voice cracked up.
What an odd PR move.
Title should be renamed:
Ole Gunnar Solskjær | Post Sack Press Conference

There's too many massive bitter cnuts on this site.
That was pretty emotional. Gutted it didn't work out.
Yes I'm sure of this. I would do the same because no way I would want to speak to the media - especially the ones in this country.
This thread is abysmal.
Pretty much admits he is not a good coach.
Top man. Best of the post SAF years. Legend
Would you swap Fernandes, Ronaldo, Cavani, Greenwood, Varane for Pereira, Jones, Lukaku, Alexis etc? If no then he has improved the squad.
He's such a great guy
Love that top he's wearing, can anyone ID it?
I'd expect United fans to watch that interview and feel sympathy for a legend who is clearly broken up by failing to achieve enough.
The fact that some of you, having got what you wanted for so long, are still so mean-spirited makes you look like a seriously toxic bunch.

A lot of very immature people on this forum.
Seconded.
feck off
Dammit that is sad.
Legend who didn't deserve the vitriol he received throughout his 3 years let alone these last 3 months
Well said. It will never not be weird the way so many grown adults have decided an intense personal dislike is the correct response to a decent man who ended up out of his depth.
And when you look back on the playing career of that same decent man for the club we all support it’s even more of a shame on the haters. Absolute twats, every one of them.
