I don't see any evidence of Fergie meddling though.
He can surely give the benefit of his experience and knowledge when asked. He's the best manager of all time. Ole would be mad not to pick his brains from time to time.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær's Cardiff Press Conference | Updates from 9am
- Thread starter Damien
- 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?

We'll get more effort as an absolute minimum.
Nah, a Mancunian (or anyone from the UK really) would say he sounds foreign. But yeah he's definitely picked up the twang.
Even though no one knows how it goes for the team in the future, we can already be sure that the coach can conduct an entire press conference without being unpleasant. Had someone claimed that a few days ago he had been declared an idiot.
As a fan, I think it's wonderful to hear Ole describe what he wants to do with the game, the players and the team. Like a fresh wind that makes it easier to breathe.

I don't know. Pochettino and Zidane don't seem charismatic personalities to me. I think you can motivate and communication without being a huge personality and all that jazz.
What's pretty fecking simple that supporters like you fail to understand;SAF has retired,he's had a serious operation.He's earned the right to a rest.
Yes, he'll chat to Ole because they're friends these days but if he needs to go running to his ex boss all the time then he doesn't deserve the opportunity
There are many ways to the top, it is however a big advantage to be a popular and liked figure as a leader, much easier to fall in behind a personality like that.
The main thing is respect but I think it's plain to see the effect that real motivation can bring.
We play Chelsea at home, so it's really a 3 games swing.
Chelsea have to go to City as well. It's gonna be a little difficult for them as well.
Arsenal have to go to City if I remember correctly, they have to go to anfield as well as Wembley with spurs.
So there may be some chances. Let's see. The important thing is to believe in it until it's not possible.
There's no reason that the team that finished second last year can't overtake two teams that didn't strengthen more than us.
Say they lost all their top 6 games remaining, that would be 5 losses. We need 4 already without losing any games ourselves. I admire your optimism however, it just is too unrealistic for me to hope for.
I'll be happy with some good attacking football and enjoying matches again. Bonus if we get past PSG in the CL and I expect a decent FA cup run
I wish OJS the absolute very best. Hope he knocks the socks off it so much that they have to give him the permanent job.
Yes but to be liked and popular you don't necessarily need to have a big personality. By all accounts Mourinho was not loved at United and Pochettino was at Spurs. Of course Mourinho is the far better manager overall but I don't think there's a blanket rule that works.
I read an interview with him a long time ago when he described his son as a more genuine Mancunian whose Manc accent was more authentic than his.
And to think he grew up a Liverpool fan.
He's got absolutely nothing to lose by attacking PSG with everything we've got;like Liverpool did last season in the UCL
The Pope and the Noggie PM have forgiven him,so I canI read an interview with him a long time ago when he described his son as a more genuine Mancunian whose Manc accent was more authentic than his.
And to think he grew up a Liverpool fan.
Only for 6 months.
We should definitely not be employing Ole in summer, as we had no genuine intentions to originally. We all know Poch is the next man who should take over us.
This!
I was just thinking that as I watched it! Glad it's not just me.Ole looks a lot like Andy Serkis.
Feeling quite happy to see our manager smile and talk about attacking first and worry about results later. As opposed to Jose wearing an expression like the milk got spoilt.
Edit: about Andy Serkis I mean, although I agree with the rest an all

As a fan I'm so fecking pumped up for the game tomorrow now after seeing his positivity and enthusiasm. Can you imagine how the players must feel? Expect the players to put on a brilliant show tomorrow. I can't wait!
Agreed, but the post you replied to only mentioned getting people pulling together. This is where a positive personality will have the greater impact.
They were both strikers to. Spooky.
clearly Jose planted that female journo in this press conference to take the spotlight away from Ole!
Stuart Taylor is coughing loudly as to who has spent most time on the bench of him and Ole
Let's hope this can be the start of a new order.
who's the hottie at 8m48s? giggity
Indeed,I don't want a Blue Monday
You must have True Faith, because Dream Never End.Indeed,I don't want a Blue Monday
Oh man I feel unleashed. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow's match now. Let's fecking blast them .
I like what you did there
Yeah I agree 100% be a massive bonus if we make it through that
I shouldn’t laugh but
!The boom/bust cycle for the current United is like 2 games. I"d like to be more optimistic but I think this lot aren't up to much. As much as I hated Mou's cagey tactics, I still question the mentality of our current players.
Hoping for the best cause I want Ole to do well but the cynic in me can't see past the fact that these players were complicit in our current state just as much as Mou was. Excited for the game nonetheless, the anticipation of possibly having a mini upturn in fortunes and maybe less sleep inducing football is a great feeling.

That would be Ingrid Halstensen. She's a UK-based, full-time football correspondent for norwegian TV2.
Great presser and all but who's fit for tomorrow?
We'll win with the power of positivity!Great presser and all but who's fit for tomorrow?
Solskjaer also has a personality
Loving this. First time in months I've felt a buzz about the club. So good not to have to suffer Jose's moaning face.
Just watched the video of Ole and the coaching team getting ready for the training session. Ole's eyes are shining, they are literally sparkling. Hope this new coaching team are a true and long-term success. They are all red through and through. Forget about Peps, Klopps, Pochs, Jardims and Zidanes of this world. Just imagine seeing Ole, Carrick, Kieran and Phelan in the dugout leading us to trophies on the united way.
Thank you for the invaluable information, sir.
You're being daft. First you act like he's meddling when he prob just had a chat with Ole. Then you act like his input would be a hindrance because of Moyes. Then you suggest people are asking him to have an active role when all anyones has said is theres no problem with Ole picking his brain from time to time. You seem confused
Edit: I may be confusing you with another poster here. Johny something? So part of the above may not apply to you. Either way you're still badly misrepresenting what I've said in this thread.
