Is there anywhere I can watch the press conference replay?
Solskjær press conference vs Chelsea (H)
- Thread starter Samid
- 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?
Sunday will be a test of stamina and intensity. More than the result I would like to see improvement in gameplay.
Its also complete bollocks. Up until the last minute, we were talking with Mandzukic who would have bee a Lukaku replacement.
So while this is a nice, positive thing to say and will boost Mason's confidence (good management, I admit), it is frankly a lie.
Mods should grow a pair and start cracking the whip on Ole-related smears.
Express disappointment at the window; discuss concerns about areas of the team and management; go for it. But to insult a bloke who was winning the biggest honours in European football for United before plenty of dickheads on here were born? Do one. Yet labelling Solskjaer a ‘yes man’ because he’s had the common sense not to act like a wanker and abuse his players days before the season starts seems to be fair game.
Grow a set, RedCafe.

That kind of advice would come from someone who never supported anything in his life.
imagine he had sold someone else for pique or pogba or whatever. imagine city didn't sign whoever took sanchos place. I think greenwood is sancho/ pogba level rather than nevland
And for a club of our size and stature, it is frightening that this could be the case.
Mason Greenwood is an untested 17yr old lad. The fact so much attention will be on him is complete madness. He should be a pleasant surprise, not the big story.
This works for me.
Reading the transcript, you can definitely tell he's not happy with this transfer window. He's starting to sound incoherent with these pr answers he has to give which is sad to see. I wish we could know his true opinions instead.
Just hope we start well on Sunday because Ole is a nice guy and I would like to see him succeed.

Seriously?!
Yep, let's start banning people for having different opinions on public forum.
Oles contribution to Uniteds history as a player and as a manager are two completely unrelated matters.
No matter what he does here or doesnt will ever change his legendary "and Solskjaer has won it" moment.
There's no debate to be had. It's just your opinion that Smalling, Jones and Young should be sold. Solskjaer never said they would be, after the Everton game or otherwise.
I referred to insults regarding his character and motivations, which was apparent in my post. Clue up.Yep, let's start banning people for having different opinions on public forum.

It’s rampant throughout the forum, too.
So was Giggs
Got to really back him even though he's lying for the sake of being positive (I know deep down he knows the window could have been much better).
Really if he can get this team in a top 4 that will be a serious achievement cause I have no faith it will happen. Still think this team is far from being anywhere near top.

I think that Ole is disappointed that we couldn't get a couple more players over the line. Preparation needs to be done now for January window.
Its actually the opinion of many more, i’d even say the majority of the posters here, to state that Rojo and Jones shouldnt be near a United shirt again. They are not world class, seeing them in a United kit wont make them miraculously world class either. Smalling is up for debate, he had good spells, but just lacks the football qualities a ‘modern’ defender ‘should’ have.
Cheers Sults...
You'll be pleased to know people are still using your curry recipe from years ago btw...
And Macheda.
What curry recipe?
And every other professional footballer at some point...
Brilliant
Youll have to ask Sultan...What curry recipe?
I think it was his brothers recipe from memory?? @Sultan
We didn't go into that season expecting Giggs to be a big story....he was an extremely pleasant surprise
The point is its just opinion. People somehow thought Solskjaer's words after Everton meant we'd be actively trying to sell the likes of Smalling, Jones and Young which was never going to be the case. Rojo and Darmian are a different story and clearly he knew Lukaku was likely to leave as well.
9 pages for a press conference and yet, I don't see the details. State of the caf
So, when is the presser ?

I second this. A small but significant chunk of the forum seems very petulant and naive in their judgments.

Tbf no one can know his real motivations or what's he like as a person unless you know him personally, so what everyone here are doing is plain guessing.
He appears as someone who loves the club, is student of a game, but at the same time he said many thing in the past which he contradiced himself later so no wonder people vent their frustration even if it appears too harsh at the times.
I've also been overly critical of some of his actions (not clearing deadwood from the squad, going with the new contracts to Mata, Young, Rojo, Pereira when it's clear those players aren't good enough for United or ever will be) but that doesn't mean I hate him or want him to fail, just that I expect more of him as a manager of the club I've been supporting for over 20 years now. Moyes was inept, LVG too stuborn, Jose too toxic and Ole was like a breath of fresh air when he first took United. Seeing him going into the season thinking Lingard will suddenly become regular goal scorer, or that Sanchez can still bang 20 goals is borderline delusion which I hope won't back fire on him or United.
Haha it probably would the way some are going on. We literally saw last summer how well it works out when the manager is a twat.
We need to strengthen, but too many people put too much stock into who "wins" the transfer windows.
Mason hasn't been playing upfront in pre season.
Would've made little difference.
Well... look at all the SAF and nostalgia comments that people are making to defend Ole. And to be honest, Ole clearly encourages it as he knows playing on the promise of a return to the Fergie years is something that will keep naive people on side.
Let’s see how incompetent Ole is as a manager (so people don’t mistake professional criticism as personal attack) . It been clear that Lukaku was going since Ole became permanent manager. So Ole has had several months to identify targets. Yet on the last day club was trying to sign Mandzukic failed and now Ole uses the trust in youth thing.
We need a manager who at least knows where he is heading and isn’t lead by circumstances around him. Tbh with exception of defensive signings, everything else appears to be Ole just reacting to what other clubs throw at us.
I wouldn't mind is some send me a copy of that recipe.
Conclusion of this thread -> you are either a puppet or you do a JM and swing green and gold dick around, there is nothing in between. Same bullshit all over again, so fecking dumb.
So you've decided that people's comments on here regarding nostalgia are somehow Ole's plan? Sounds like tinfoil hat stuff to me.
Yeah Lukaku was always leaving and he addressed that earlier that he wants to bring Greenwood into the fold. That doesn't mean he can't look for an experienced player to be here for a couple of seasons if the price and wages are right. Obviously they weren't. Plus we have no idea when the possibility of signing Mandzukic became aware to the club. It literally could have just been mentioned when we were in discussions about Dybala.
I know we should have bought someone for the midfield but he addresses two gaping holes in the squad this summer at CB and RB. How is that reacting to what other clubs throw at us?
No. He will still need this season and next, to implement our new playing style. He still has a lot of players that doesent fit our style, and it takes time to get the players as fit as the players at Liverpool and City.
Could you point us to one post that uses the word "nostalgia" as a defence of Ole?
There's an U23 game tonight so if there are any notable absences I think we can expect them to be with the first team.
also inappropriate comments. I'm pretty sure I saw a mouthful of sausage joke somewhere.
I don't want to get dragged into a topred debate or accuse people of not being so etc, but I think how you came to follow United has a strong bearing how you might react if things are, say, less than ideal. As the club has grown over the last 30 years especially the fanbase has also grown exponentially, which for better or worse, means that many only know a culture of winning and expect nothing less. If you were forced to support us in the womb (holds up hand), then you've likely had the good and bad if you're old enough so perhaps can take a more reflective stance. Dunno.
