He had all the support anyone could ask for. The bosses, the players and staff all loved him. They actually paid for the transfers he requested and gave him more time than he deserves. But time and time again, he made the same choices. He keeps saying he had the best team and coaches. Then why did he fail? The problem is him.
He is too ignorant or stubborn to realise what everyone sees. Look at the PSG game last year, every single person on the planet (except him) knew that Fred is going to get a red card and should've been subbed. Same with playing GW and Ronaldo. He never makes a substitution even when it was obvious that it is needed due to injury or performance. Usually wait till the 85 min mark even if we are 2 goals down.
He typically plays players who are unfit rather than the players he fought to keep. Yes, he actually renewed and is in the process of renewing contracts for Jesse, Baily, Mata etc even though he plays them for 5 min every 4 months. Blocks transfers for players he doesn't play (Rojo, Romero, Donny) for no reason at all. We have 7 goal keepers at the club for ef sake. Other capable managers knows how to rotate their squad to keep everyone match fit instead of throwing players into the wolves by featuring them only when the fav gets injured. And then in his mind he thinks he is correct not to play that player if he fails (despite the player not having seen any game time in months).
It is quite easy to see how incompetent Ole is for 2 plus years but because it was Ole, the legend, the nice guy, people come to his defence. It's a shame. If we had a new manager start of the season, we'd be competing with the ez fixtures we had. Instead, we are looking at another rebuild with Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Cavani, Henderson definitely leaving and Ronaldo, Donny, Telles, Bailey, Martial and Bruno possibly leaving.
