What manager should we get if we didn’t extend Ole contract? He’s got us going the right direction.

I see the same shit all the time on here, we’re Man Utd, we should win the league, we should get better. And never is there an answer to who that better is to be able challenge the oil club and pep. I’d love to hear it.
Well I see this same shit also, that there's absolutely nobody else. Even managers that have already won a title in England such as Mancini. Not that I'd want him but I'd still be more confident he can deliver a title than Solskjaer.

Atleti hadn't won a game in 15 when they played Chelsea, they were in dire form. Madrid have an aged side that was at civil war with the board. They're big names but they weren't exactly current Bayern. Anything can happen in a final, we saw that ourselves.
So Ole fans, will twist every fact in football to make it fit their agenda.
Chelski beat Real Madrid, Atletico and Manchetser city (England-esque route and easy).
But Ole bottles a final in front of a mediocre small team (we were a decent GK away from winning a European trophy)
The logic you guys have never stops mazing me.

Never really in doubt was it. How long did his old contract have left, end of this season?

Why do you feel the need to lie to justify your crazy opinions?

What has happened to redcafe?

Posters downright dismissing ole without any other manager in mind to replace him.

Posters being so negative (fwiw I am so sceptical about ole but I will get behind the cnut). People are so quick to jump the gun and bring negativity to the club without any reasoning or solution or patience.

The only saving grace is that the ot crowd will support united, ole, the team next season like it always has done. The players and management will always acknowledge the match day fans (which is the case with every club) whilst the owners appreciate those who generate massive revenues via advertisements.

It's a win win.

Great news and well deserved!
The club and squad going in the right direction.
Add a couple more signings and clear some deadwood and things are looking very good.

Really looking forward to the new season :devil:

Great news now back him in the transfer market. Bring in a centreback and a CDM and a replacement for Pogba if he goes.

You are supposed to take away that it is just that, progress. Hence why he has been given an extension. Are you suggesting that we sack our manager when they don't win trophies in this progress? Our club was in a dire situation when he took over, nowhere near ready to challenge for the league or win any cup competition! He has made excellent progress with what he had inherited and has now put us into positions to win trophies, hence the SF's and the final I mentioned. That is progress, whether he won trophies or not. What he has done with the squad and first team and scouting and pathways to the first team is progress.

I am not saying that I would be happy if we didn't win trophies over the next few seasons. I wouldn't, because that would suggest that progress has stagnated and therefore, he would have taken them as far as he can. But I don't know how, after watching them the past few seasons compared to Mourinho's tenure that any fan can say progress has been marginal!
You keep repeating progress, progress. I'm saying progress has been marginal, which it has. You keep bringing Mourinho's tenure, but we did the same under him, we finished in CL places in 2 successive season, and finished 2nd. The added bonus was, that we won 2 silverwares along the way, and also reached our highest PL points tally post-Fergie.

But, anyone who had watched us under Mourinho, knew our style of football took a nosedive in his 2nd season (despite better results). And, we as a team were not improving overall, the 2nd placed finish was not the true metric of where we were at, and it's exactly how it played out.

I see a lot of parallels with the 2nd place finish during his reign and Oles'. We aren't the 2nd best team in the country, 74 points will not be enough to secure 2nd place this season. Our goal scoring has taken a very marginal improvement if you compare last season with the one prior, while defence has gotten worse. We still struggle to break teams down despite repeatedly buying players. We fumble at crucial junctures, be it pushing for a trophy, or a sustained push in the PL/CL.

You are only highlight the pros without the cons. I am looking at the overall picture. Progress has been there, but last year, it was marginal. I am saying we move on from the manager once they have done their job, he's stabilized us, brought through some young players, and added quality to the squad. It's time to hire a better manager, who's tactically sound, will surround the team with actual competent coaches and allow us to take the next step.

Only reason I agree with it is because it helps for continuity. Though I still think he'll be fired by seasons' end.

Sorry, I meant they dropped around 15 points the time when they were playing Chelsea and were missing Trippier who is a big part of the way they play. Not to mention they had a man sent off in one of the games.

They may have won the league but they wobbled around this time. I'm not sure why beating Atleti is the pinnacle or world football now.

So Mancini, I wouldn’t be opposed to that. I didn’t say there’s nobody else, I asked who. That part is usually left out. Like the other poster I just replied to who’d want to try a different manager every year as if it’s some kind of money no object computer game.

im happy Ole contract has been extended, it doesn’t mean he’ll be here forever but it shows trust in the direction, stability for players and new signings.

How do you decide what progress is in football? It depends on the angle you look at it from. Some fans look at the silverware, and concludes there’s no progress since Jose’s EL victory. Fine. Some fans look at the league table, position and points. Fine. Some fans look at the stability of the club, general mood, playing style, economy, transfers etc. Or all of the above. Fine. It’s difficult to discuss progression when different fans have different parameters as to what defines progression. One thing I think that is undeniably true is that to progress you need stability, confidence, the right tools, backing and a clear plan. From my point of view Ole has a good prerequisite for further progression. And I think his extension increases those chances.

No one said the route was easy, don't project your own feelings onto someone else's post. I said it was doable for a team like United also. Doable as in a team that clearly isn't the best in Europe could have also managed it, not that they would have, that they could have. Stop using absolutes.
If Dave's not in net United win the penalty shoot out.

They're not controversial opinions and they're not a stonewall defence of the manager either. But if you want to be decisive and make this about in's versus out's then go to town, whatever makes you feel better.

:lol: From "hadn't won a game in 15" to that. Shameless lying to justify a mad opinion.

Not entirely, but we didn't win it because of him.
That's a weird way of looking at it. We didn't win because of 10 other players who played atrociously. Or Ole who got the plan wrong. DDG is probably the last guy in that team we should be blaming for that loss.

Dont know why, if he doesn't win something this season he should be moved on. Previous contract would have made that straightforward

:lol: Oh so I was right and now I'm lying? You purposely cut most of the games from your screenshot. I don't have to lie, everything I said is for all to see in their results last season.

Yeah I get you there certainly. But look it is what it is and we're all United fans here anyway. I'll be fully behind Ole because he's here to stay for a little while longer and if he pulls up trees next season I'll be delighted to be proven wrong.

Our big players weren't great, Rashford and Bruno were very poor. We missed Maguire, Ole was late with the subs, and those things cost us the game. But Dave could have won us the final in penalties, all he had to do was save one.

Good decision. You don't go into the season with your manager's future up in the air. The extension shows the players that the manager has got the board's backing. Now is the time to deliver on that trust and I'm sure the players, coaches and Ole are looking forward to the challenge.
