Rashford has wished ole happy birthday on instagram. They love him.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | W15 D2 L4
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
Something else to consider is that Poch will cost £50m and Ole is free (well maybe a couple of million to Molde). That £50m can be used to buy half a Sancho.
I like the way he got Fellaini out pretty quietly and even with a way bigger budget than he's ever been used to previously I think he'll target the right kind of players in the summer, should he get the job. Judging by the way we've tried to play thus far, there is a certain type of player that fits that mold.
I think we've already decided to give him the job and will just delay that announcement until the end of the season. This way, he can plan any summer targets now, so we can hit the ground running transfer wise as soon as the window opens.
If we end up missing out on top4 by a few points, I don't think that will count against him given the position we were in when he arrived.

Didn’t he say that the only club he would leave Molde for is Manchester United, since his kids do not want to move from their home
So basically, he loves Manchester United a lot
I think we should sign him regardless of how the season pans out. He has proven that he is the right man - all things considered.
I don't think we should do it yet though. I see no real upside in changing the current set-up with him as an interim manager at this stage. Give him the job immediately after the last game against Cardiff or when top 4 is secured (whichever is earlier).

I think every thing he has done footballwise post playing career has to do with the prospect of one day getting the opportunity to manage United!
Now here he is, and he’s doing a good job!

If we're gonna sign him, wouldn't Molde want to start looking for a replacement soon? Their season starts in a little while, and I can imagine they would want a replacement in as fast a possible....
Erling Moe is the current interim, he has been around their coaching setup for a long time. I think they'll just stick with him and see how it goes.
Cheers! Looks like they'll just promote him if Ole goes then. So we won't have any clues from them regarding Ole either.
I wish my boss happy birthday too - doesn't mean I love him though.
I heard Paul Ince is looking?
Do you wish him happy birthday with a picture on instagram?
Nope, I write my name on his card that goes round the office.
' Solskjaer has called on Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to step up and fill the void left by Rashford, Martial and Lingard '.
The sentence above is funny, 1 year ago it would not have be imaginable. Hopefully Solskjaer will get us off this roller-coaster and steady the ship

That's not the same thing
Yeah thats the same.
That's not the same thing
Totally is.Poch doesn't get the same intense scrutiny as Ole either; Poch had a shocker at the weekend - got his tactics and subs wrong and then acted like a prize cnut at the final whistle. If that were Ole people would be using that as proof he's not up to the Utd job.
I don't think he has? His latest post is about his debut for us.
The bloke is probably too old to know the difference between instagram and twitter.

You don't love him very much do you...?He's ridiculously negative about everything related to United. Joined as a Nottingham Forest fan and has now changed his support section.
Not that it matters, but none of the players did that with Mourinho as far as I know. I don't even think any of them liked his birthday picture on Instagram that the club put out a few months back.
Oh, I see. Must be tough.
Has anyone mentioned yet that Ole has won as many points in 10 matches this season, as Mourinho did in 17?
That probably deserves its own thread.

I get a lot of satisfaction from this table.
Christ best defence in the league as well, did not expect that
His eyes look in two different directions though, so Molde may not have noticed.
IIRC we used 4 different combinations of CBs too.
Lindelof - Jones
Lindelof - Smalling
Lindelof - Bailly
Smalling - Jones.
Ole? Yep - hope he gets the position full time. Would be madness not to imo.
Spurs haven't been good vs top teams (not talking about results) that's despite them playing good attacking football and having really good attacking players but cannot seem to create anything (based on your proof) which is strange when you consider the crazy praise spurs and Poch get.
This being your reply to the other poster, he did say " i dont think ive seen Spurs have a game where they barely have a shot on target" and your reply is to post 7 games over 4+ years (
) which is really good by spurs , i am not sure this post had the intended effect you hoped for but proved (based on your examples) how spurs barely have games where they have small amount of shots on target.I'm not negative at all - I'm just realistic mate. As for joining as a Forest fan. That was years ago mate. I'm not a hardcore fan on here of course not (never been to a match) but United is my team. United are the ones I stream, and follow the news, and take part on the forum here. Am I a hardcore fan? Hell no. But I support United. I'm into my football properly now. When I joined in 2006 I was not. It's hard to explain, but I realised I was a Utd fan over time. 1999 was when I fell in love with the team, and when I fell in love with football in general. It took a while to realise I didn't really care about my then local team. I was a proper armchair fan for Forest, just because all my friends supported them and then gradually as I fell in love more and more with football after 99 I knew I was a proper United fan. Hope that helps explain it a bit.
Sorry if I come across negative, I don't mean to. I just don't wax lyrical as some do.
There are so many games where Spurs had just 3 shots on target even vs lesser teams. I just listed games where they had 2 or less shots on target and I didn't even check all the games. I checked games randomly.Spurs haven't been good vs top teams (not talking about results) that's despite them playing good attacking football and having really good attacking players but cannot seem to create anything (based on your proof) which is strange when you consider the crazy praise spurs and Poch get.

Edit: it also had intended effect as he never saw any game where Spurs barely had shot on target and I gave him few games.

Restored dignity to the club.
It was an instagram story, grandad. Its still there.
What I secretly feared about Ole was that he might be an idealist. I think he is - a bit. But not to the detriment of performances (see Sarri). I thought we’d look better going forward but was a little worried that we ship a lot of goals in the process.
After the early rush of goals, it’s actually been the his pragmatism that has shone through. Whether it be the diamond and split strikers or the hard-nosed midfield trio of Herrera, Matic and Pogba. He’s really tightened up the team and reminded people that we do have some good defenders at the club. We’ve conceded six goals in ten league games, two (or three) of which were penalties/set pieces. That’s seriously good.
You look at a team of Ole, Phelan, Carrick and McKenna and see so much promise. Give them the gig and back them with some serious money in the summer. We can do anything.

I stand corrected.
Instead of sending sumbliminals quote me directly.
The Poch fanboys need to feck off already, he is not coming here, and I doubt he is leaving Spurs at all. He is comfortable at Spurs where he has great job security, and no expectations apart from top 4, from both fans and owners. As long as that is achieved, he is safe ansd secure in his job.
And i am far from a Poch fan boy
I approve of a ‘Mourinho was shite and is a wanker’ thread.
As I said, based on examples that you provided.
