People said he'd not make top 4 in his first full season because he was a PE teacher and took Cardiff down. He came 3rd.
They then said he'd struggle last year to match it as it was a fluke. We came 2nd.
We have now added Sancho, Ronaldo and Varane to the team that came 2nd.
Keep doubting him. He keeps proving people wrong.
LVG didn't finish 2nd. Jose did once but he didn't come 3rd in his other season. So Ole had already surpassed two of the all time greats in league finishes.
We can't keep sacking managers and starting again. Ole deserves to see this out now and see if he can take us there.
You really are*.... I am so curious how and where you spend the last years following football when you consider the United edition of LVG and Mourinho as "alltime greats". It is weird, because it is often noted, that not having a big name should be hold against Ole, while LVG and Mourinho have been "alltime greats" ...................................... because of their big names. Am I the only one who thats a bit inconsequential? It feels like these two are a gift to you now, because it is so easy to be "at least better than them".
Such things are difficult to understand, same as that it seems a bit weird to me, that us being top of the table last January doesn't meant we should have mounted a more courageous title challenge while us being top of the table after 4 matches this year means that that people who criticize are mostly weird and impatient.
In case you want to come back with something, please do not come up with the "we came 3rd and 2nd"-line, I know you seemingly have it on copy-paste today based on how often I read it in the last hours. I am sure, you will find more arguments than that.
About the rest of the debate: I am personally against even thinking of sacking the manager if you have no idea how to replace him. The recent past has shown, that we can get a way worse manager. We do not want to redo old mistakes by being guided by emotional reactions.
However, somebody asked a pretty reasonable question - if we are still unsure if the current manager is able to bring us to the next level, why not try to find somebody who could? I know, this sentiment doesn't bode well and I don't like this pragmatic way of thinking as well but at such a level a certain extent of pragmatism and ruthlessness is essential. It is good to have faith, but it should turn to blind faith. Dragging things out can have just as many negative consequences.
I hope the few calls for imminent sacking die out, they are just creating a bad atmosphere that will not do anything that isn't bad. But I also hope, the calls to be more reasonable to each other are taken to the heart by some of the very enthusiastic supporters as well.
Edit: I am not a native speaker, I understood calling someone a weapon would be more on the light banter side of things. I had no intention of insulting the other poster, excuse me in case you initially thought differently.
