Yes, but so have a whole host of managers across the world we would never consider plausible candidates for the United job, nor likely shouts for managers who might be better than Poch.If Ole can lead a group of Norwegian League players to the Norwegian title, he's proven he has the leadership and inspirational skills to take a group of men over the line in a competitive scenario.
There's only one reason Ole finds himself at the - ahem - wheel at United. And it has nothing to do with him winning the Norwegian league. Well, perhaps not nothing - but very little.
Poch's lack of trophies isn't unrelated to where he's been working thus far. The one black mark against him in that regard is Spurs' failure to capitalize on the anomaly that was the '16 season. And even that is somewhat tenuous.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not a Poch fan. But this "he hasn't won anything" argument only goes so far. If he gets the Bayern gig and wins the Bundesliga (with a squad that is relatively speaking miles better compared to the contenders in that league than Spurs ever were under him), has he all of a sudden turned into a "winner", a "non-bottler"?
