More than Solskjaer would be? He looked out of his depth at Cardiff. But we're talking about interim managers here. Got to be realistic with the profiles of the managers we're looking for and what our expectations are from it.
Solskjaer taking that job was more an error of judgment than him being out of his depth. Cardiff were a sinking ship.
I would imagine the plan is to hire a DoF and determine over the 5 months who to keep and who to get rid. Then a summer clear out. I don't expect any activity in the winter window except for academy signings.
Fellaini is not getting sold after giving him a new contract just few months back.
Well we’re hiring a technical director or something along those lines so those decisions will be made by them and the newly appointed manager I presume.
Top bloke and united legend. He's never managed a side let alone coached any players before though.
He's not very good. he was close to being fired a couple of months ago.
We thank him for the services and fire him
So beach soccer doesn't count?
Queiroz? You do realise we had a little known manager called Sir Alex Ferguson, don't you? If you look hard enough you can actually see him on the right of the bottom picture...The last United side that Queiroz picked. Defensive?
Why would you have interviewed Solskjaer? Why are you placing him in the same category as Eddie Howe?
I don't imagine the January transfer window will see much activity for us. The caretaker manager's brief will be to do the best with what's already there, but (hopefully) to change the brand of football back to something the club can relate to.
If that was the spec, then it simply wouldn’t be Solskjaer. On what basis has he proven to be them man for that? He, like Giggs, will be given the job First and foremost due to this need to have someone who ‘gets the club’.
No JP, it doesn't count. If it were to count then we should just appoint the best futsal manager in the world because futsal is more akin to 11 aside than beach footie is.
White text shouldn't be needed.
That’s not the plan though, Solskjaer is being brought in to bridge a gap. There are multiple reasons why Solskjaer makes sense and him knowing the club is one of them.
Him knowing the club is the only one of them. If he had no connection to the club, he wouldn’t make any sense at all.
Oh you got meWhite text shouldn't be needed.
McKenna has to be involved somewhere I think. He’s been a great custodian over some of our biggest talent in ages, and can help them transition into the squad well. Carrick, I am less concerned about. Not sure why he’s jumped the queue straight into the big league anyway, and don’t know what he brings yet.
Plays attractive football
Zidane hadn't done much in a managerial capacity either and our expectations are no where near what Madrid fans were. It didn't stop Madrid from giving it a go.
