Ole is 46. He's been managing for 10 years now.
Zidane is 47, Ten Haag 49, Klopp 52, Nagelsmann 32.
I really don't get this "we're in rebuilding. whatever result is ok" excuse. We are top 3 richest club in the world (recently the richest until our results finally seem to be affecting the club's popularity). There's no reason that we can't rebuild and achieve good results at the same time. The standard among the fanbase for the club has plummeted so much now that people are happy with sitting 5th in a season where all of our rivals bar 2 are in chaos and sacked their managers and Liverpool have almost double the points we do.
Said it several times mate. Ole Woodward and Glazers have brainwashed fans into thinking one of most decorated and richest clubs in the world should carry out a rebuild in such a slow pace. Can you imagine the reaction on this forum if Mourinho, with the squad he had was given time and two more transfer windows yet we end up being 5th?
We are in a rebuild though. Its true now and it will be for another two years at least, regardless of who is managing us. The reason it goes slowly is because we shat our pants when Fergie left and have been doing for the last six years. Summed up the problems have been
1. Former managers, but especially LvG and Jose pissed away a lot of money on bad transfers. Almost 600 million£ between them and we have very little to show for it today
2. We have a massive, massive wage bill despite not having the quality to match, in fact we had the highest wage bill in the league last year. This is because we have out ridiculous contracts to the likes of Sanchez who reportedly are earning about half a million each week with all addons.
3. The frankly idiotic way the club handles contracts is a big reason for no2. Waiting for them to almost expire before starting to negotiate. This is the reason we lost Herrera and its the reason dross like Lindgard have gotten new contracts because we could either resign them on lucrative deals or let them go for free
4. We post record turnovers each year, but our profits are not really that big. In fact when wages have been paid and the leeches have had their share not a lot is left
5. Our net spend the last couple of years has been a very modest 47 million in 2018 and 80 million this year
Some deadwood are gone, but there is still loads more than needs to go. Compare our squad to the one City got and compare the wage bills and its pretty clear we have fecked up pretty badly.
