What's embarrassing is your feeble attempts at claiming to "support" the club.
Whilst you claim to support the club by blaming the ‘players’ for everything..
How many managers did Man City fire to get their record breaking team? It’s not a case of how many it’s a case of just getting the bloody right guy.
If you want to bring logic into it, its folks like yourself who will run to the player threads to continually slate the majority of our players as "not being good enough for an elite club like United"... But then ignore that to expect Ole to work miracles with said players that aren't good enough.
No it's not.
It's because Ole isn't a "big name" manager who's gone out and bought a load if Galacticos and put us top of the league straight away.
The right guy could still come at the wrong time, how many `could have, would have, should haves` are not known today because of that .. often in football it is coincidence if you may, a lottery winners game. As with rest of world history it is still being written by those who won, and to win you have to get a proper chance and then take it when you get it `cause that`s your legacy. To get a proper chance you have to win trust, best shown by winning games. To win trust you also have to manipulate the environment to make them believe in you (we all do it one way or another). But since football are (with all respect) a circus (as it is meant to entertain) managers and players today are like ancient gladiators of old sacrificed on the altar of nothingness or given eternal life at Mount Olympus with the Gods.
I believe Ole has a plan but, and it's a big but, I really do wonder whether Ed/the board will have the balls to back him fully.
Pep would never manage Cardiff the Same way RVP would never play for Cardiff. There’s levels. But for some reason we are handing out apprenticeships.
Yep, talking crap as usual. What scouting? Who we looking for Justin Kliuvert? It’s not rocket science at the top level all of the transfer forum could lend a helping hand. We just need a good coach.
Well, both Mancini and then Pellegrini won the league with them in 2011/12 and then 2013/14. No doubt Pep has done better, but there are also loads of talk now about players getting fatigued from his intense style, both as a manger and on the pitch Link, and it seems he only stays in one club 3-4 years before he finds a new challenge. So hes a bit like Jose in that sense
Does this mean you've finally changed your stance on the competence of Ed Woodward?
I don’t think that’s a question. He seems to be quite consistent. Unlike our team.
If we had Pep and City had Jose it would not have ended the sameway. Managers are different for a reason. KDB gets shipped out for Jose but turned into a CM by Pep for a reason. There was about £30m difference in financial muscle between the two you telling me Pep needs the extra 30£m at United to beat Jose? No he does not.
They had a much better starting point. Not going to claim Jose did to well in the market with is, but do you honestly think we would have walked the league if Pep was here instead of Jose?
Oh yeah cause Klopp was doing such a wonderful job at Liverpool pre Edwards appointment.
I'm still somewhere in the middle. It depends on the point raised surely?
On the contrary, I believe tonight will be a free hit. Lose and everyone expects it. Draw and it's "creditable", win and it's a stupendous show. Also, Ole has routinely excelled in the big games. Barring Arsenal and City at the back-end of last season during our horror run, he's not lost. Beaten Spurs and Chelsea multiple times, beaten Arsenal away and then drawn this season, beaten Leicester multiple times... In most of these games, Ole has been spot-on with his setup and tactics and the team has been pumped-up and delivered as per his demands. In contrast though, we have struggled against teams that sit deep and park the bus. Our lack of creative spark in possession hurts us badly in these games and we typically struggle in those.
Pep would never manage Cardiff (true, he probably wouldn`t dare either and at this point why should he), but still i doubt he would have done very good if he had to. He needs the right players to get his high pressing teams flowing (who doesn`t).All managers at some point gets found out. Fergie had trouble to find out the Mourinho of mid 2000`s and had to evolve. All managers are apprentices as football is not static, and the only active manager who are not an apprentice of anybody is probably Marcelo Bielsa
..Unless we get trounced 5-0 I don't think this game should go against Ole if we do lose. Playing away from home, against a better manager, against a better team isn't the benchmark (at this minute in time) for Ole to be judged on. Although I can still see people calling for his head if we lose by the odd goal which would be completely unfair.
Yes, Along with the clowns who called a team full of capped internationals a championship level team
I ain't gonna say it no mo, it's respeck.Put some respect on his name.
