The trolls on here just call what you've described as "weak management" and "Ed Puppet" because he's not going full meltdown mode and attacking players/board! 4 points from 2 very difficult games to start the season. Whilst disappointed we didn't beat Wolves still an excellent start!
@Ban post is intended to be ironic, said in mockery of the trolls. Presumably the other guy is following a similar train of thought. Don't take it so seriously mate.

That’s possibly the dumbest thing he’s ever said. Sacrificing a players development just to help a club out? That’s not how it’s done. Give them money sure.
He's talking about loaning then Young, Jones, Rojo, Matic and Mata. :D

Think you can loan several players to the same club, when they aren't in the same league as you. We could loan them say 3/4 players to have a core to play around.

Giving them money is even more idiotic as the owner would just pocket it and the club wouldn't see any of it.

loaning youth players to the lower leagues is something we do anyway, to aid their development

i mean it doesn't seem that dumb really

Whoosh.

The point I was making wasn’t that we shouldn’t loan players out to clubs but that they should be carefully selected to aid the players development. Just handing them out to any club that is struggling is putting them at huge risk.

So you think that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer genuinely believes that handing young players out to any random club is the way to go. Like, this man who has spent decades in the game actually thinks that’s how to develop players.

Or, rather, he was asked an unexpected question about Bury’s plight and said a few comments to the tune of helping them out, even though in reality they are of no real interest or concern to him.

There are two ways you can look at that comment. You can apply a small degree of critical thinking like I did, or you can go out of your way to try and bend a comment to make the bloke look like a twat who doesn’t know anything about football. It seems clear what you’d rather do...

OGS has proven to be a real pro. No bait for the press. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

Breathing room and growing space for positivity. Keep it up! :)

We've done it before, i believe.

Also Fergie would send players to wherever his son managed, even recalling them all midway through the season when he was sacked at Preston.

I am calm. I called you out for talking out of your arse. The latter doesn’t dictate the former.
I’m right. Ole shouldn’t have said it if he didn’t mean it. I’m sure he didn’t mean it but if he did it’s an idiotic thing to say.

Was one of Martial's for Monaco? Cant remember him missing two for us?
I do slightly remember he missed 2. One he was still able to score from rebounds while the other one he missed when we are already winning the game in Old Trafford. Can’t exactly remember the team we were facing.

Until they finish playing and maybe become a mouthy pundit ie: Gary Neville.

I like how Ole hardly gives anything to the media, while giving proper, altough from media point of view very boring answers. I like it, but they must hate him for it, no juicy press answers for the cnuts.

We have plenty of youngsters on loan throughout the lower leagues. There's absolutely nothing to suggest we don't have several youngsters who would benefit from a season in league one.

There's nothing dumb about it at all.

Latest on Sanchez?
There are still talks with some clubs but he played in that Sheffield game and played well, he’s working hard and let’s see in September what’s going to happen.
Solskjær really is beginning to look like a sacrificial lamb.

I’m all for the sales of Sanchez & Lukaku but if they’re both gone this season to leave him with Martial & Rashford is criminal.

If we’re throwing our full weight behind youth the. perhaps it’s acceptable but with Mata still taking up a place in squads it just feels like he’s been left ludicrously light.

We all dream of Sancho but even then we’d still be light up front.

I think they are starting to. A good few went with the whole "weak manager" angle when one of our players missed a penalty the other day. What other manager gets that kind of BS?

Yeah, it's expected. They aren't getting what they want.

On one hand you're saying that we're light and then you're criticizing Mata still being part of your squad. As much as I don't wanna see Mata playing for us, I wanna see Sanhez even less. You can't lose a player that never plays.

Greta is only a young teenager, has Asperger syndrome and is a political puppet, all arranged by her idiotic mum and political activists. You must search to find a more obvious fake agenda. This has nothing to do with real concerns about the climate. Only sheep’s and blind chickens thinks otherwise.

I don’t hate Greta, she’s a child. I hate her mum and all agenda driven idiots behind this crazy bandwagon. If they truly care about climate then sell their ultra high expensive condos in inner city and move to the country side and start a collective vegan farm for idiots. Then I believe them.
I hate to give oxygen to a moron but this post should really win a prize for obnoxiousness and pride in one's own ignorance.

It has it all: contempt for disabled children, sexism, stupidity, climate denialism, dimwitted politics, idiot accusations of elitism against people you don't like (and know nothing about), and even throws in gratuitous contempt for other people's diet choices.

It takes a lot of skill to compress so much nastiness and ignorance into four lines. It definitely deserves recognition.

What are the Glazers and Woodward sacrificing him to? :confused:

Who the hell is Greta Thunberg and what does she have to do with OGS or his press conference thread?

The reason why such a weird phenomenon can succeed lies in your answer. Black or white answers.

The problematic part, in order to make a serious attempt to discuss a important and delicate subject, is that you don’t seems to understand why there is criticisms in the first place. Greta isn’t the target but her selfish mum and other political activists has put a young girl as a front figure for a movement who relativized a problematic issue. Nobody has anything against Greta but her name is synonymous with the worst part of activism. Black or white answers to extremely difficult questions.

Regarding Greta. She should be in school, not standing alone protesting in a corner, attempting political meetings around Europe or traveling across the Atlantic Ocean in about with adults to gain more media cover. That’s in some way child abuse and also a way to steal a part of her life for something outside of her capacity. Parents has a responsibility, especially against a disabled child, to protect and care for her wellbeing and to let her grow up in a normal environment without being a political front figure in one of the most important questions the world have to deal with.

Regardless of what Ole chooses to say publicly, I really hope Rashford is our undisputed penalty taker now. Maximizing the likelihood of scoring the penalties awarded to Manchester United is more important than seeing Pogba score a penalty for Manchester United again :rolleyes:

You betray your prejudices, my friend. You have no information except your own assumptions about how capable Greta is of making decisions for herself (she seems very self-possessed to me) or whether her mother or "other political activist" put pressure on her.

All of that is pure projection based on your own narrow-mindedness. It is probably a surprise to you but disabled people have autonomy too. They don't need you to tell them what's good for them! And Greta's mum is certainly better placed to judge if her child can cope than a dim-wit Caftard. And you have the gall to accuse the mother of a disabled child who is doing something amazing (whether you agree with her or not, the act itself is remarkable) of indulging in "child abuse". Who do you think you are?

Seriously, get over yourself. You obviously don't know much about anything, so maybe stick to football where we are all dumb as doorknobs and your idiot opinions won't make you stand out in the crowd?
