Yeah, van Gaal won the FA Cup, then got sacked immediately as the previous 2 years had been so amazingly good.Yes, it is. They actually won trophies.
And mourinho won the Europa League, whilst finishing 6th, and destroying squad harmony, and humiliating players, and putting his own ego before the club, and then getting sacked because it was just so good.
Whilst, in my opinion, finishing 6th, 3rd and 2nd without destroying squad harmony or boring us to death are greater achievements, the area in which Solskjaer has massively out performed his predecessors is in squad building, his signings have been of a much higher standard and far more successful so far.
Besides all that, the point I was arguing was you can't use coming from Molde as a stick to beat Solsjkaer with, he has (in my opinion) out performed managers with much better CVs and whilst I still have my doubts whether he can take us back to the very top, I think he deserves one more summer window to sort out central midfield.
