So you were dead against all of those signings when we made them?? Why are you still vexed? The fecker's history now. Are you upset he's not with us next season?He spent 130m on Maguire and AWB, whom weren't worth the kind of money back then and even during their first season had doubts all over their abilities and mixed opinions by the fans since day one.
He signed Cavani and Ronaldo, two +34 years old strikers who were clearly short term signings that were going to leave in 1-2 years max. Hardly got them in their prime. Similar to Ighalo's deal who was only a short term plan.
He signed Varane, a player who has been on decline for some time now and had problems with injuries, and now we're stuck with him.
He signed Sancho...whom he threw on the bench and was about ruin his career completely and the lad only started to play regularly under Ralf. Embarrassing to mention him as someone worthy to praise Ole for.
That's not to mention his other shit signings like Telles, James, VDB..etc.
3.5 years and 2 windows with 400m spent and the only player whom he signed and can actually be considered a success is Bruno and even this one has been absolute shit this season.
That's the team Ole's built and left us with.
Apart from Sancho (who was thrown on the bench since day one by Ole as I mentioned), none of the players he signed were as good or in their prime as Pogba when we signed him.
There's no hindsight about this. These were the state of the players we signed.
Now, what damage did an interim manager who managed us for 29 games do ?
This. with Ralf we knew it was a short term thing, he was given a hospital pass but he's called out the rot in the dressing room. The events on the pitch were dreadful but i think in the longer term we'll look back on it as a important period of change.Ole. Massive long-term consequences and spent half a billion to buy more deadwood and garbage players.
We went from 29 away games unbeaten under one manager to 6 consecutive away losses under the other.
Elite manager like Conte will make Maguire work. RR was more busy finding excuse and blaming everyone else instead.He spent 130m on Maguire and AWB, whom weren't worth the kind of money back then and even during their first season had doubts all over their abilities and mixed opinions by the fans since day one.

easy to forgot how awful the situation was when Jose left us. Also RR took over from Carrick with the latter unbeaten against Chelsea and Arsenal and got us qualified to CL knock out stage. Heres simple questions for you:OGS is the worst manager we have had since SAF. No manager left the club in a worse state. Winning mentality destroyed, millions down the drain, no real squad culling done, entire discipline inside dressing room gone, players on a perma holiday mode, zero tactics and training, the players being at the worst fitness levels and zero trophies to show for. But yes blame the interim manager who was not given an iota of control by the board.
Didn't Ole finish 7th after Jose finished 2nd too with the same team? This rewriting of history should stop.The same group of players that Rangnick guided to 6th place finished 2nd under Ole. I watched most of our matches under Ole even if we didn’t get a result - there was some fight in the team. The teams that RR put out were the most uncommitted teams without any fight that I have seen and I couldn’t stand to watch in many cases
Totally agree the mere fact people are actually voting for Ralph is a joke. Ten haag will struggle next year of course he will. What are we going to do blame him and sack him after we lose a few? This right there is the reason why the glazers win. They’ll switch the blame to someone shiny and new and we’re too idiotic to remember what had gone before. I remind everyone that over 1 billion has been taken out of the club, want a ground like spurs? We could have already had one if we weren’t a farming system to these vulture owners of ours. They’re worried now because the milk has dried up and the super league failed and profits have plateaued. I’d take a yearin the championship I really would to get these out, the club needs ten new players and the stadium has fallen apart all under the glazers our training ground whilst ok isn’t up to other teams anymore either, and we’re getting left behind. We’re still trying to emulate what we did under Ferguson football like any sport moves on, and if you aren’t up to date with systems training and smart ways of doing things you get left behind which is what we’re seeing now.OGS is the worst manager we have had since SAF.

Sure you can.This. with Ralf we knew it was a short term thing, he was given a hospital pass but he's called out the rot in the dressing room. The events on the pitch were dreadful but i think in the longer term we'll look back on it as a important period of change.
I don't think you can judge him as a manager that never signed a player or had a pre-season.
The difference is that ole took over the team with 11 points deficit from top 4, meanwhile we only 2 points away from top 4 when RR took over. See the difference?Didn't Ole finish 7th after Jose finished 2nd too with the same team? This rewriting of history should stop.
Ralf can't be judged on his 6 months without any new players. Everyone knew he was only going to be here until the end of the season.
