Ole Gunnar Solskjær | Managerial Watch | Reports: Being considered for Canada job

[Robbie Boy]

Every manager we've appointed since Fergie has failed, because they lacked either the conviction, the personality, or the ability, to lead us to the tip, hopefully until now as it looks like Erik has it all.

Spot on.

The only debate is 'who was the least worst' and it's a totally redundant debate. Everyone has their personal favourite, and they'll spin a narrative to paint them as the 'best'.

I enjoyed Ole's spell the most, but Jose and LvG were more successful here. Rangnick was a total fecking waste of time, and Moyes was a disaster. I wouldn't defend any of them though, as ultimately, they are all total failures and the club stagnated because of them.

Yeah that's pretty much how I see things, all of them had their qualities but none of them had enough for Man Utd. The only thing I disagree with is Rangnick being a waste of time - him obviously being held hostage by our more toxic squad members gave EtH an easier ride in pulling rank with Ronaldo, and eventually moving him on. Not a compliment to him, but still useful.

Aye, this would be my sentiments too.

I would only add that the club itself also must take blame. I'm not sure if any of our previous managers would have been able to do a good job even if the club was ran by competent people, but things would surely have been a little better.

I don't even blame Rangnick per se, but his whole spell ended up being pretty disastrous. There are certainly mitigating factors to take into account.

Aye, the whole club from top to bottom has been a shit-show post-Fergie.

Thankfully, it looks like we are finally getting our act together.

Ole is about to make his first public appearance since the sacking at a "Evening with" event at the Mercure Hotel in Manchester. Friday, May 12th. The promo text seems a little over the top, but this is how they choose to present him. I think I might actually attend this event and get a "platinum package".

Yeah that platinum package does seem like a good deal. Especially with the signed shirt thrown in. Prices seem to be going through the roof for this type of memorabilla lately. Do you know how many are attending?

 

[Samid]

50 today

 

[The Mitcher]

50 today

Happy birthday Ole!

 

[Scandi Red]

Apparently he's linked to the Club Brugge job.

I don't follow Belgian football so I have no idea if he's a good fit.

Ole zit aan het stuur

 

[shamans]

Speaks volumes he hasn’t been remotely linked to a premier league job since.

I won’t argue our managers before him were anything but failures either but the gulf in quality from actual football managers in Moyes Mourinho and Van Gaal to Ole is just staggering

It speaks volumes to the hit pieces and piling on he suffered from.

Yes. He’ll fit in and out the door quickly

 

[Andycoleno9]

He was, he turned them all down

clubs don’t care about petty gossip. If he was anywhere decent he would have got the job.

 

[crossy1686]

Poor Brugge.

From Parker to Ole, they must hate their fans, but good luck to Ole if he gets the job.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Damn this place loves shitting on the guy.

 

[gajender]

I don't think he is good enough but you seem to giving to much credit to the clubs .

 

[cyberman]

clubs don’t care about petty gossip. If he was anywhere decent he would have got the job.

Meanwhile Lampard is on his third job and Jesse March is the favourite to take over Leicester.
The man who at least has a great record in progressing through cup competitions and is one of the few managers to achieve consecutive top 4 finishes has been memed into the wilderness as a PE teacher.

 

[Bilbo]

clubs don’t care about petty gossip. If he was anywhere decent he would have got the job.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about Ole, and everybody's made that perfectly clear, it seems a little ridiculous to suggest that any manager who has a 2nd place PL finish with any club couldn't get another job in the PL. Its more likely that he simply hasn't wanted one.

I doubt he willingly will go for a club Brugge job over a premier league one.

And yes actual staff and experts don’t fixate on stats like “finished 2nd”. They look at the context and I think it’s pretty obvious no premier league club sees him as a viable option

 

[el3mel]

People are mocking themselves when they're saying Ole can get a PL job. Brugge is the best he could get.

No PL club will be interested in him, because his experience with United proved he's not good enough for top clubs and his strategy of over reliance on individual abilities doesn't suit relegation threatened clubs, which will be looking at his past experience with Cardiff. He's at a position where he failed to achieve the targets of both a top club and relegation fodders. He's also not English, which does help for Lampard case.

He should take that Brugge job, that's if he wants to continue managing football.

because both Marsch and Lampard are better managers than Ole.

FYI Lampard has been memed as well his recent appointment is a very ole like scenario

That’s a lie and a half right there.

 

[el3mel]

That's a nice way to say "got us into a 2nd tier European competition final after crushing out from the group stage of the top European competition".

Relegation fodders and midtable clubs won't care about such thing.

Or he could bring out the individual qualities in players?
Why wouldn’t he stand out with a squad like Chelsea if that’s the case? Would West Ham be where they are with Ole in charge with their individual quality?
Im not saying he’s a great manager but feck me it’s not as if the league is full of these managers playing progressive, team football. 12 managers haven’t been sacked because they’re too good for the job

You would know, with your Insights and everything

Dont mind the Norwegian news, with reliable sources saying the contrary. You know best

When did that happen ? His entire team was built around Bruno whom he bought and directly installed into the team. He didn't improve and of the existing players, and most of his other players he bought failed.

There's no reason a big club will think of him because considering the amount of spending and investment he did at United, he didn't win anything and didn't challenge for any major trophy. He's not English, not an ex legend at any top club to give him some slack like at United and he's 50 years old who has been managing for 10 years so he's not exactly a young and incoming manager to give him a chance.

Most relegation fodders or mid clubs don't really care about "reaching 2nd tier European competition final and finishing distant 2nd" spending 300m through to get these "achievements". They want someone to carry the squad, improve players and at the very least, grind out result if his football is poor so that they stay in the league. Ole doesn't serve any of these purposes.

It's not about playing progressive football. There're other managers who serve the needs of PL clubs better than Ole, both for the top and for the bottom clubs. He failed to achieve required targets for both of these on the two instances he managed in.

Martial and Greenwood had their best seasons under him. Not even Ten Hag has gotten what Ole got from Bruno. Unlocked a consistent Rashford as well. Imagine that, signing a player that was so successful that he could successfully build a team around him! The cheat!
We had a front 4 that all scored 20 goals in a season with a sub in Cavani that came close behind them.
The quality of this season was worse than those two season yet here we are, touching 5th place.
it’s not as easy as Ole made out.
And you have no idea if lower clubs care about cup competitions or not. Does only the CL count if you want to manage fecking Crystal Palace?

Well if the others are actual football managers then they did an even worse job than it’s clear they already did. They should bury their head in sand that a non-manager could achieve a consecutive 3rd and 2nd place league finish with United whereas they didn’t even come close to that.
