Some good points made throughout this thread, I can kind of agree with both sides of the argument.
Personally I really wanted to back Ole due to the fact he's recognised character flaws within the squad and attempted to rectify it.
Is he being hamstrung by an inept CEO , due to the fact replacements haven't been brought in efficiently? Surely it was known which players were surplus to requirements, why weren't agreements made for replacements before releasing them?
If the above would of happened and quality replacements were secured, we wouldn't be now playing Mata, Matic, Lingaard, Young, Peirera , which brings me onto my next questions which kind of implicate Ole
Did Ole deem the ones I've just mentioned as having the quality to be competent?
Did he have a say in their contract extensions?
If yes to the above two then Oles as much to blame as Woodward in my eyes, it's clear Woodwards inept and can't secure multiple deals at the same time, he has to step aside from transfer dealings.
Ole has a huge question mark hanging over his judgement if he thinks Mata, Young, Matic, Lingaard and Peirera are United quality still or even would be good enough for this season.
