How do people rate this man? He's the common occurrence throughout our unfortunate days. He seems to talk and do things more than Ole. Is Ole just a character in McKennas show at this point?

Been saying for long time, Backroom team isn't good enough to cover ole's deficiency as a coach.

I do feel like the board should be ruthless with managers. But the issue is always the same: Who better is available ? All the top managers have a job...

We can bring in many good coaches to cover for where Ole falls short. Its just that it seems that Man Utd is the ideal employer. Once you're in youre in.

What a random thread. Just total and utter nonsense. You should be embarrassed with yourself for even coming up with this emotional tripe.

How mentally incapacitated and deficient do you have to be to understand that there is a problem at this club?

Yeah let's blame the coach not the manager.

Nobody knows what the backroom staff does or how good they are at their jobs. Ridiculous thread.

I pointed this out the other week. Whenever something happens he whips the tactics book out and him and Ole seem deep in convo, then we make a change and it all goes to shit.

Who’s making the decisions?

Ole has been given much more time than Van Gaal and Jose which is mind blowing to me. While I appreciate Ole's effort, he hasnt proven himself as a top manager.

I don't need to randomly attribute it to a member of coaching to realise we have some problems.

It is just complete rubbish you're spouting that you'll probably reflect on later once your emotional state has passed.

Sack them all.

Ole, McKenna, Carrick.

They've had enough time to make a team that has some kind of tactics and doesn't rely on McTominay and Fred starting at Old Trafford.

The players can't outplay his bad tactics.

Yeah so why as a good man manager but an inexperienced coach would you have Carrick and McKenna as your coaching team? Absolute madness. He needs better coaches or he’s gone. Simple. Stubbornness will be the death of Ole.

Yeah, I always find threads like this a bit odd. Like you said no one knows how they work. Solskjaer is the manager, he has the final say.

Who the feck cares about McKenna?

Saying that, considering how shit we are, I hope the next manager does not keep anyone in the coaching staff.

The only club on earth where assistant coaches are discussed when performances are poor.

Not sure how big is his influence but it's crystal clear for me that for Ole to survive he needs to get better people in, because the current set up isn't good enough.

:lol: Seriously. I can barely even name a coach from any other club.
It's a ridiculous situation. Like everyone has said "yeah, we know the coach isn't a tactical genius, let's look at the people beside him...they should be filling this gap".

Solskjaer can't survive because he's not good enough. There's a limit to how much even a great squad and a great coaching staff can do when the man in charge of everyone is limited.

If Ole goes, I'd like them all to go. Or at least stay away from the first team.

We would never know what the backroom staff does

But surely we can see how good they are at their jobs by the way the team plays in the game? And right now, it's pretty shite.

It really isn't. One was dour and the other toxic, not surprised he gets more leeway.

I've no idea about how much is manager decisions and how much backroom/coaches being shite.

That said, we have the greatest manager of all time available to offer help and guidance. Pretty sure SAF would be able to tell? Either Ole isn't asking, acting on it, or that isn't the problem.

Bucket stops with him whichever way you look at it. I would still wait until after Christmas, a lot of kneejerking right now.

There was a report somewhere last season that said the players thought McKenna's coaching was very school boy-esque. Can see why now.

We can't defend set pieces, we can't penentrate the low block, our attacking momentum is so random.

I don't know what the backroom staff are doing, sure, but I do know what they are NOT doing.

Or, more likely, they're carrying out their boss's gameplan? How many instances can you think of where a manager replaced his assistant and the style of play / results radically changed one way or another?

I disagree, I think having the right people around him could make a huge difference. He's clearly a good man manager, and did a good job building this team. If he builds a strong team around him he might have a shot.
