Been reading a lot of so-called experts of the game and they have come to the conclusion that the signing of CR7 is the reason why Ole is now unemployed, what are your thoughts on this.
Yeah it’s all his fault that Ole needed to improve our style of play and actually be successful. Ole needed to up his game and fell short of expectations as he wasn’t tactically very good.Been reading a lot of so-called experts of the game and they have come to the conclusion that the signing of CR7 is the reason why Ole is now unemployed, what are your thoughts on this.
Even if this is true, it's not what Ole did. Ole did not change his playstyle to fit Ronaldo in the slightest. We saw almost every time Ronaldo playing alongside 2 iverted wingers that only look to shoot & so Ronaldo kept dropping back and playing the playmaker. I'd struggle to say a false 9 role is suited to Ronaldo. Then look at what happened when he put on Donny to link with Sancho & Ronaldo in the 2nd half vs Watford, we finally started to create & DVB kept feeding Sancho who would go down the outside of the wing & look to pick out Ronaldo, rather than just head down shooting like Greenwood or Rashford. Ronaldo really could & should have scored a couple against Watford.Just to play the devil's advocate, in the past 5 seasons, each of Ronaldo's clubs have had a change in manager (Zidane, Allegri, Sarri, Pirlo, Ole). Are the teams trying too hard to fit him in a playing style which just doesn't work any more?
Its Merson. He can do one.Been reading a lot of so-called experts of the game and they have come to the conclusion that the signing of CR7 is the reason why Ole is now unemployed, what are your thoughts on this.
I could say the signing of Champions League Varane added to that expectation.People were expecting United to challenge this year
BS in my opinion, we have seen the same crap football several times before Ronaldo joined. Ole was "unlucky" we hit one of his trade-mark low form periods at a bad time. We've had shit periods like this 3-4 times already since Ole joined.
Good points that are getting airbrushed.This is like the 4th time we've put together a run like this in Ole's 3 years. He did his best to sack himself at every opportunity he got. The only difference Ronaldo has made this season is we're not bottom of our CL group.
CR7 has kept ole in a job until last Sunday and had he not been signed we’d be out the CL and sitting lower in the league.Been reading a lot of so-called experts of the game and they have come to the conclusion that the signing of CR7 is the reason why Ole is now unemployed, what are your thoughts on this.
We've not had a period like this during any previous point in OGS tenure. That's why he is now sacked.BS in my opinion, we have seen the same crap football several times before Ronaldo joined.

As if a negative thread on the caf proves that something is actually real. Ole needing sacking prior to this season was just the view of a loud and angry minority. It was only when the results and performances turned to something that actually supported thst conclusion that it turned into a majority view.Every season there’s period where we played horrible football and wanted Ole to get sacked. I think we can easily find many negative threads on Cafe over past 2-3 years about that.
Agree. All Ronaldo's presence did was raise expectations to win now mode and maybe replace him as the golden child in the dressing room. People could no longer easily pass on blame or throw the squad under the bus while it contained a more accomplished United figure.When we did not have Ronaldo last season we were still shit in terms of performances. It was just that certain individuals (Bruno) kept bailing us out. We kept having to come from behind. The only thing that changed since Ronaldo signed was that Bruno has stopped bailing us out.
