In trouble ….but they’re not stupid
Will Ole get another PL job after this?
- Thread starter golden_blunder
- Start date
Depends on how desperately they want to return to the Championship.
No.
Couldn’t care less. As long as he’s not at Utd I’ll be happy.
He has done some good work at Utd to turn things around but it's painfully clear now that he's just not got what it takes to take it the next level. Nobody wanted him after Cardiff before he came to Utd and I doubt anyone will after.
Unlikely back to Molde I suspect.
He can't coach, can't develop players and is shit at squad management.
He'll be lucky to get a job at a league 1 team once he's binned from this job.

So, it wouldn't be too dissimilar to Lampard at Chelsea? Poor manager who was rightly sacked but is still a popular figure with the fans?
Interesting. Thanks for the response.
People are so delusional there’s only 1 team that would employ him and it’s united.
when he leaves he will disappear into nothing back to Norway with a huge payout I’m guessing.

Feck no. Keep him.
Yeah Lampard's still quite fairly well thought of, just on the back of his Derby spell.
No. The criticism of Ole is that he now has a good squad but can’t turn them into a coherent team.
Without that good squad, say at Cardiff (or the like) he’s got nothing on his cv to suggest he can succeed
The ’lesser’ PL team should avoid him. And the stronger teams will want proven managers.
I can see him going back to Molde

He's the worst manager in the league and no Premier League club should touch him, but regardless I've still voted yes, because logic doesn't always apply to Premier League managerial appointments. Sooner or later some club might be dumb enough to go for him. Whatever club it is, he'll fail miserably and then never get another gig in England. Probably end up back at Molde or something.
I don't think so, no. Even when we were relatively stable under Solskjaer he didn't have many fans in the wider media.
This season has been a disaster and undoing any good work he might've done so I don't see any reason why he would. We've seen someone like Howe who did a good job at Bournemouth have to sit a year out before getting another job, and Lampard hasn't got back in yet either.

I think it is important to fail fast. Ole had failed, but this season is prolonging his failing, and making it even longer.
If he had left in the summer, he would have been a failure, but still with some reputation. If he will leave at the end of the season (at this stage, even now), he will be remembered as a total joke, as the guy whom entire England sang for sarcastically. His reputation is probably the lowest of a big-club manager I can think of (maybe Solari after Real Madrid).

I don't even think Molde would want him back tbh. In recent years they've been more successful without him I believe. Their current manager seems to be doing a good job too, so no idea why they'd bin him and pay Solskjaer's astronomical wages.
He'll go on sabbatical and maybe some naive team could hire him in a couple of years, or if he's lucky he gets the Norway NT job.
Any club who wants to rebuild yeah actually. Then hire someone else to manage the rebuild
No and even if he did get a job in the Championship he would probably flop there and that would be the end of it.
I honestly doubt he returns to managing after he leaves United. He will never find another job in the PL and within six months he’ll be a so called ”pundit” on Sky Sports or something.
Would the Norwegians take him for the national side?
No way. He does not want this period to define him but his whole managerial career has been unsuccesssful. He is not cut out for coaching or management. Just watching him trying to smile his way through failure is unbearable. I prefer to think of Ole the player and not the useless manager he has become.
Tim Sherwood got another PL gig didn’t he?
I think a mid to lower team would take a punt on Solskjaer to get a new manager bounce. Up until these last 3 months, Ole had could have left with many positives

Brutal. I think he will find another managerial job but not in PL.
At this rate, supporters for every PL club would have sung his name by the time he moves on.
A rebuild where you outspend every team in Europe? Thats not a skill that other clubs would want or can do. He's shown that he failed with a smaller club, so a relegation fighter would be dumb to take him, and no upper team would take him because he didn't play for them and has nothing else going for him as a reason why. I genuinely don't think he'd get a premier league job.
I could see Ole moving into DoF roles or perhaps a job in International management. That being said, I am sure if Ole really wanted a PL job, he could get one.
He will need to go abroad and do an outstanding job there for a PL team to be interested after this shambles.
The thing people missed when they said some desperate club would take him on eventually is that this guy was sacked from Cardiff when they were hovering around the relegation zone in the bloody Championship after being heavily backed in the summer, after already saw them relegated the year before. Not exactly a stellar track record to fall on if you are battling for survival or preparing for life in the Championship.
Can’t see it.
Bodo/Glimt new manager when their current manager inevitably heads to Celtic.
If he did it would be another Cardiff job, like the Norwich one this season.
Hopefully at City or Pool
The Premier league is an insane league with insane owners so even though I think he won't it isn't beyond the realm of possibilities that he will get one.
A few weeks ago he would have had a chance. Now... No way.
Wrong forum.
No and I doubt he would particularly want to manage in the PL again. He had success domestically in Norway and would likely get another job there in time if he wants but the most likely scenario appears to be a bit of media work followed by a stint as Norway head coach if the likes of Fjortoft are to be believed. I do think his man management and political skills are better suited to international management so it might be a successful move.
Come to South East Asia.
For example, Singapore is keen to change their football manager.
I think he would do well there.
