Not really no. Much more for even going for shit like King.
I'm on Ed's side but also critical of him for leaving it until the final 48hrs of the window to look for someone. Wanna know why he does this? It's because he'd rather not spend money, so he 'sees how it goes' and once it's apparent that spending is actually needed, he reacts. Reactionary football club with zero planning.

If we blow a large portion of our budget on the defence, again, I’ll be speechless.
Ole is a defensive, cautious risk-adverse manager who thinks 0-0 draws are fine. I'd give it a 60-40% chance he actually does blow our budget on defenders.

Makes sense. It was a good idea to have the transfer window shut before the start of the season but only if all leagues are aligned with starting the new season.

Such an unnecessary and pointless change. What makes it worse is that we are the only league which practices it.
That in itself was the football equivalent of Brexit. For me anyway.

Totally pointless and voted in by teams who thought they were hard done by the bigger teams only to leave the whole league exposed to vultures swooping in from mainland Europe

Not a surprise. Given the history of trying to sign players when there is an international summer tournament on, this will give some wiggle room

Yup, seems to be. Some are pretending Dan James is the answer but I have no idea what that's all about.

Lowering of standards. A decent squad player is now seen as a firm first choice player in a position where we've previously had such beasts as Ronaldo, Kanchelskis and Beckham.

No it was a stupid idea. Imagine thinking that the rest of the European leagues were gonna say "sure you go first and we will follow you" wink wink. What do you expect from the land of brexit though?

King is going to be our number 1 striker priority in the summer. Just you watch.

If you actually think Ole is a good manager then good luck to you.
Its mind-boggling that the poll is not 100% for Ole Out. Do people not watch the matches? I have to wonder if they are trolling. There can be no other explanation.

If you have decided that he isn't good enough after a season which is all about rebuilding - with a bunch of our best players injured - then good luck to you

What about Cardiff ? His two seasons both in the league and championship. We didn't start losing games all of a sudden bonce injuries started, Solskjaer's man management has also aggrevated injury, the guy is a dreadful manager.

There's no point arguing with these type of people.
