Its a bit of a myth he didn't spend any money. He signed 27 players while he was there and some quite big fees. Not to mention a lot of the players he bought are still there and it was all going down the pan very quickly under him.
How can something that is backed by science be a myth?
Really...like who? How much?
Monday night football.
Aah.. Ta.
Monday night football that was on Sky tonite.
We keep waiting around and trust me on this one then he will end up going elsewhere and Ole will take us even further away from the top sides in the league so worth bearing that in mind. We will then be left to look on with envy as he goes to a club and proves himself a top coach all over again.I understand he's got his fair share of doubters on here but I've always been intrigued by the idea of having him at the helm at some point.
He's never been a 'chequebook manager' as his strength was really always making the most out of what he had and overachieving consistently with limited resources, compared to his rivals. Basically the polar opposite of what we've done post fergie
His player development over his time at Soton and Spurs was as good as any manager in the league within the same timespan.
He gets stick for never having won anything, at a club with a single piece of silver ware this century mind you, but I feel like that would change having some of the vast resources that a big club affords. He deserves a lot of credit for building that side into a player near the top of the league and even making the concept of a 'big 6' a reality when the Tottenham of my younger days were never anywhere close to qualifying for European football annually as they do now, let alone actually reaching a UCL final.
If it doesn't work out with Ole long term for whatever reason, I'm still Ole in at the moment personally, I'd have little reservations giving it to a proven manager in the league like Poch. He'll be coming back hungrier than ever at his next job that I'm certain
Yep someone told me, cheers.
I definitely shared this same sentiment when Pep was being quite cryptic about his long term future with City as he'd be a natural successor there.
Monday Night Football. Thank me later.
Backed by science? He has no record of spending big and it paying off. He also happend to have one of the best strikers in the league come through the academyHow can something that is backed by science be a myth?
Anyway, he exceeded expectations with a team without resources of a big club. It is a no brained that he will do well here and take us back where we should be.
As above, Sanchez, ndombele, Lo Celso. Heck even sissoko for 30m, lucas 25m. He's bought a lot of trash as well - Wimmer, Janssen, Stambouli. He's lucky levy has been able to get money back for them.
J think a coach can be a good coach without winning anything but to be a top coach there has to be silverware.
Kind of hard not to win silverware at United unless your a crap manager to be honest.
I am pretty confident we will also get found out in the CL once we play a team who can press effectively which Leipzig and PSG failed to do against us at all
Proven to not actually win trophies and proven to be a top 6 manager. We already have that now, so where's the upgrade?
My only real concern with him is not the lack of winning a trophy it would be how well can he manage the big personalities in the Utd dressing room because there is a feeling there is definite cliques within it
So do we not mention he bought Dele Alli for £5 million?
How much Son cost?
Monday Night Football. You're welcome buddy.
What’s wrong with Sissoko and Lucas? He also bought Son, Dier, Alderweireld and Alli.
Son is certainly much more worth than what we paid for all Maguire and even Bruno.
...fecking broken...ffs...I wish our fans didn’t buy into this fecking narrative. We’re not “broken” even if we could be run better.
Yeah mate club is fine and we'll get in a manager who bottles it to make it even better. Great!
Who bottles it? Certainly Poch has got Spurs to a much better position than Ole has ever taken a club.
I'd suggest you go look at his record with Molde before you make comments like that.
The Glazers and Ed Woodward don’t pick the team mate, Ole does. Not to go in feet first on Ole but 3 semi finals last season...don’t talk to me about bottlers...
