While I absolutely agree that United need to start winning some trophies to show for it. (The Europa defeat was a colossal failure IMO because we scored the equaliser and then didn't try to win the game. Very un-United)
But if you cannot see the difference between United under Solskjaer to how it was under Moyes, van Gaal and Mourinho then you aren't very observant or have a very short memory.
Yes, the club needs to start winning things. But its actually enjoyable to be a red again. I don't know if you're a match-going fan or not, but the atmosphere around the place on a matchday is a world away from what it was. Under van Gaal especially, it would be a treat to see a fecking shot on goal or a forward run. I would look around the stadium before KO totally removed from the kid who fell in love with football. Under Ole, the DNA of United and the love of the Club is returning. He obviously just needs to make this team one who gets to lots of Semi-Finals and Finals into one that wins them. But i'm happy personally to have the patience to see that play out. Luckily, so too are the board so far.
I really urge you to be careful what you wish for. Ole is sacked tonight.. Who is the new manager? What will the atmosphere be? It's all starting from Base again. Do you really trust Ed to appoint someone who isn't just another Moyes, Van Gaal or Mourinho? Who ignore the youth teams and create a toxic atmosphere again. I can't understand why some people think cutting out Ole is the best thing. Ole is the best thing that's happened to this club in years.
That's the thing, in 30 years time who gives a feck how the atmosphere was in the dressing room if we have won nothing.
I didn't say anything about how he inherited a mess and fixed things cause that's the manager's job. In any job noone is saying well done just because you did the job you were supposed to do. And coming back to my opening statement in 30 years you will say that we had 3 terrible managers that won x,y,z cups but they messed up badly and then Ole came and fixed everything but won nothing(hypothetically).
I became a Man United fan because of the football played but also because they were winning things. Unfortunately I'm from Greece and going to matches to Old Trafford isn't easy (money problems). I only managed to come to Manchester once and unlucky for me we were playing the FA semi final with Everton in Wembley (Van Gaal era).
Everyone has patience even the Ole-outers but at some point you have to start asking questions. Arsenal was playing great football in the Wenger later years and were winning cups (at least) but fans demanded more. Are we so much behind as a fan base that we just want to see great football and nevermind winning things?
I'm tired of the so-called United DNA and United way, like every other team doesn't have DNA or their "way" of doing things. These are just generalisations for politics and nice words for the fans.
From how I see it the DNA of Manchester United is winning things (Glory, Glory Man United...?) not cheap talk about progress, atmosphere in the dressing room, small margins and excuses like we don't have a RB,CB,DVD
