I wanted us to wait till the end of the the season before we make the announcement.
The news that Carrick and McKenna made the team selection during the early stages of Ole's interim reign may be true because there's a clear departure from the way we played and the way we are playing now.We dominated teams, the CBs played a highline and the FBs overlapped.
People are talking that this is not Ole's team, he needs a transfer, it took Pep and Klopp time to get things right. That is true,but during their early reigns one could see they system they wanted to implement, but didn't have the right players,it was obvious that with the right players they would get things right .
By now we should have seen the type of system Ole is trying to play but doesn't have 'his' and/or quality players. That way we can say if he is given a transfer budget he can build his own team.I have not seen anything so far.
Why we are where we are now is because of the high 'moral' standards some of our fans, ex players and the media placed on Man United.United give coaches time, United give players time etc. That's why we hired Moyes, Mourinho, LVG and kept them longer than was necessary. That's why Young, Jones, Smalling,Lingard etc are still at United because they are great 'servants' and local lads.
Big clubs act big. Maldrid quickly sacked their coach when they realized it was a mistake .That's a big club.Barca are clearly planning to sale Coutinho if he doesn't improve despite his reputation and price tag. That's a big club. Not us, we give players and coaches time until things spiral out of control.
I won't be mad if Ole is let go at the end of the season , it won't reduce his standing as a club legend in my eyes.
If we don't reserve some of the mistakes we made as quickly as we can(Ole's appointment is one of them ,and not getting a DOF), we may slide into mediocrity that would be difficult to get out from.
