I don't disagree with you here, but nothing in this post backs up your earlier point that it's a huge gamble. Or at least more of a gamble than getting any other manager in.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær | 2021/22 Discussion
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Great news, Ole will grow into the job - rememebr it took SAF 6 seasons to get a firm grip.
Not sure whats crap about it... you can make a reasonable argument for who the football was worse under out of Moyes, LVG and Jose... it'll differ from person to person.
I think you also need to reread my comment...
"I saw Louis van Gaal say that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's football is the same as Jose Mourinho's. Louis van Gaal's football at @ManUtd was the worst I've ever seen."
Not sure if you read it but he's referring to LVG's recent interview (which was pretty interesting). My point is structurally our system is pretty similar with Ole as it was with Mou (which is what LVG is saying) but there are some differences like wing backs, Pogba being freed up and, most importantly, player's attitudes improving.
Would have preferred Paul Ince, but good luck Ole, you're gonna need it
Top appointment, I look forward to the atmosphere at OT on Saturday for a rare 3:00 KO.
Happy with this.
Fantastic news, at this moment in time Ole seems the only candidate. Poch would have been a risk regardless of what people say, zero guarantees of trophies. Ole gets us and has really brought the club together again. I think these next months will be a head start going in to next season. I'm happy he's going to be the man to lead us next year.
I'm not happy of how the club have announced this. I think they should have waited to the end of the season like they said. They need to show a little more strength and stop looking so reactionary and keep there word. I don't think there is any positive in doing this now with only a few games to go. He could have been told privately and it shouldn't have effected transfers.
Think this move feels right for United, don't really give a feck what opposition fans think. Anyone that has supported United for a while will know this feels right, right for how we want to play, treat our players and bringing through younger ones. Need to go back to the core traditions of the club. No more outsiders telling us we should play to there way and philosophy. We have our own just like Bayern, Ajax and Barca. They embrace our way, not the other way around. That's what the others since Fergie left never got. Ole's at the fecking wheel!

Feck, you wanted us to keep Moyes and are not sure about this?!
I don't see Bale coming with Ole at the helm.
Knowing United's identity we would expect the wonderkid signings more than established stars.
I think the days of us signing ready made world class players are gone and this is an exciting start for United again.
But at this climate, wonderkids are more expensive than ever before. Interesting summer.

What about Phelan?!? We need him.
Beautiful. We should win the league with Ole if we have a decent couple of transfer windows.
Because it's irrelevant to his original point.
LVG compared Ole & Jose's styles. G Nev brings that up, doesn't actually address it, and moves onto his opinion that LVG's football was rubbish.
The board needs to back him this summer. I think he will building a title challenge team.
Best man for the job!!
Best man for the job!!
I think every single person in Norway supports us now, even the Liverpool fans. 
I have no idea whether this will work out or not but, given how well he's done thus far, it would have been perverse to appoint someone else instead.
That said, we're judging Solskjaer off a very small sample size of games and even if waiting a few more months barely changes anything I'd still have opted to do that, just in case. However there are obvious benefits to appointing him now too so..... *shrugs*

Wow, how much more transparent can you be eh? Well done.
Guess I was wrong!
Oh yes soz.
Good Post.
What a load of bull. How has he come to conclusion Fergie is in the dressing room every week..
Yeah this is my feeling too.
Yay! Any word on the back room staff?
Who cares, Ole is the right fit and we only want players that want to play for Ole. If that means we have to recruit hungry youth keen to prove themselves rather than established megastars who want to move just because of the money or big name manager thinking that trophies and medals are inevitable than so be it.
I think and hope that Ole is successful but if over time he isn't then I will never say that it was the wrong decision to appoint him.
I guess he must have direct access to Fergie.
Delighted. Perfect for us.
Haters or doubters can feck off. Or support whatever club shitcoat ends up at this summer - whichever suits.

I think they had to.
The uncertainty may have affected the run in.
Good stuff. Hopefully we can start putting things in place for the summer now.
Neville's not tackling lvg's comments. He's just taking a cheap dig at him.
Happy with Ole's appointment, hopefully Ed will give him a decent transfer budget to work with.
Deserved and i'm so happy it's him! Still fear nothing will change in terms of how the club is run. We need football people making decisions as how to move forward, how to improve the team and properly challenge for the PL title. No confidence in the banker.
I thought we'd wait until the summer to see how things panned out, but ok. I just hope a DOF football is announced soon and that Ole gets properly backed in the transfer market this summer.
Great news this. I don't really care about the length, I'm just happy he will be having a role in forming the team for the forseeable future.
Ole!
To be honest, many pundits have poured scorn on his comments.
They're both entitled to their opinion but putting stock in what LVG says has long gone. The man said it himself after another poor performance, he thought he was good manager...once. A few good wins here and there don't mask how boring the football was.
Well that's to be expected considering he came mid season and has only been here for 3 months. LVG probably doesn't watch our games except the big ones, so thinks we have only played counter attacking football. He also downplays the massive amount of injuries we've had. United fans didn't turn on LVG until his second season, because we gave him time to buy the players he wanted and implement his system. He's bitter.
Congrats to Ole and well deserved
Now the board and Ole can start preparing for next season.
Great to have one of our own in charge,hope he gets backed 100% in the transfermarket.

Hoping for a nice transfer summer too

I read Van Gaal's interview and the interview with Neville linked to in that tweet you quoted. Nothing he said was in any way incorrect. So I don't see any basis for you calling him a terrible pundit based on that tweet.
Excited to see who he brings in, wish him all the best the legend.
