He's comparing himself to a better and more proven manager who had a track record at Dortmund to back up his claim.
)Woodward and the Glazers are the main problem. But an unqualified manager is not the solution. Sadly, no manager will be properly backed by them in the transfer market because we are run like a business, not a football club.
This. Plus the fact he’s basically justifying the club giving him at least 4 years regardless of how woeful we are, just because “Jurgen”He's comparing himself to a better and more proven manager who had a track record at Dortmund to back up his claim.
It's not because SAF or Klopp were given time that every single manager deserves times.
(It really hurts to criticise a club legend who gave us many great memories.
Your comments are hillarious!
Have we ever hired an attacking coach?
Never in my wildest dreams would I have said United would make the exact same mistake only 6 years after sacking David Moyes, but here we are again. It was the exact same near the end of his reign too, banging on about how he needs time and probably the same fans sticking by him. Arrogant comments about how SAF would have failed with that squad. It’s only going to get worse and worse from here, after all we’re only 10 points from relegation.
It’s like it came straight from David Moyes’ mouth. He thought he’d see out his entire 6 year contract while he turns us into Everton.
He was actually correct. I do hope however that he realises the extension must be earned through progress and current performance
Well yes, he is correct in his statement that Jurgen took 4 years. However, to then use this as a direct link to his own tenure, as if to say he should be afforded the same amount of time, is absurd. So hopefully people can see that given 4 years, Ole will have us winning the UCL (2 finals in consecutive seasons too) and the PL?
Have you ever seen what difference managerials changes makes at other clubs? It's only at United we have this romantic stick by your manager notion when they are not performing. The Ole Out crowd recognizes the problems beyond the manager, but there is no sane reason to think that Ole is the best man in the world to manage Man Utd.
It's not the weakest squad we've had in years not at all.
Liverpool fans used to say this relentlessly, oddly you don't hear them complain so much anymore.
I don't know how else I can express what I said? Read what I said. There are lots of better managers out there than Ole but it will count for nothing. Jose n LVG are streets ahead of Ole. What happened there?
Their owners sold to competent ones that's why. Not remember Hicks and Gillett?
Klopp had also proven to be a world class manager in a top 3 league in Europe...hence why he was afforded time and he also instantly improved their football upon arrival.
If we had gotten Klopp we would be in Liverpool's position. Klopp is what changed everything there. We have the money, just not the right manager.
That was like a decade ago, they banged on moaning about the fenway board way after that too.
The fact that he has been in the job 13 months and it looks more like a shit show now after his transfers in and out than it did when he started.
Solskjaer just doesn't come across as being very intelligent when he makes these silly comparisons.He's comparing himself to a better and more proven manager who had a track record at Dortmund to back up his claim.

They did a shit job. They spent loads of money on players who nearly all failed here.
Yeah 13 months and only got 3 signings, what the feck were you expecting? a place in the CL final with Lingard, Young, Lukaku etc. on board?
About 4 months ago Jose Mourinho hinted in an interview he had no say on Fred coming to the club. Might be why he didn't pick him for months too.
. It’s so bad you have to laugh. I really did think we dodged a lucky escape with Moyes. But boom... here we are again. We’ll probably hire Gus Hiddick to replace him.18 months before that he was bragging about how he loved Brazilian’s and a Brazilian would be perfect for United. But maybe he was talking about Neymar and we got him Fred. How pathetic of us.
If he thinks he's going to get 4 years here with such performance he's delusional. I remember I was replaying to someone here who was thinking Ole's risking his job by playing youngsters because he cares more about the future of the club. He's not risking anything, he's simply deluded and thinking he'll have many years to do what he wants regardless of present results. LVG and Moyes thought the same too and ended up getting the sack.
You could see Klopp's style almost right away when he took over. His results in the League took a while to turn around but a fairly solid cup performance. We wouldn't have sacked Klopp had he finished 8th in a broken season and then 4th twice as we have shown CL qualification is often key to us sacking a manager.
Can you imagine Klopp being given the 500 million Euros (net spend) LvG and Mou were afforded? And the worst thing about it is that Klopp brings to the table the type of football United are renown for. It's about making the right choice at the right time. That's why all this nonsense about having already tried proven managers makes my blood boil. It's also kind of funny how the gist of Moyes' infamous quote about Ferguson struggling with the team, for which he was unequivocally lambasted, is being perceived as a legitimate excuse for another manager 6 years later. It's gonna take time, we know it but, in the meantime, applying some variety to your "pass the ball directly to Martial and if that doesn't work, try to work out a triangle in the wide areas or give it to Rashy" plan wouldn't hurt. But, hey, we'll be playing our second CL final in a row in 2023, so cheer up.
My comments weren't halarious in September when I made them, and they aren't halarious now. You don't think a good manager can get more out of players do you not? Interesting. So what we see now is the best we're going to get with these players? Ole is getting the most possible put of them? He's the Right man for the job and it is down to them being crap? Man for man how do you rate us against Leicester? Truthfully
Between this and the regular usage of SAF, no manager anywhere in world football should be accountable until 4-6 years have gone, because they could end up being the best manager in the world as well.
Yeah I'm sure we'll finish top four this season, and reach the CL final next season, and win it the following season, and be unbeaten at the top of the PL the following season with a record points tally.
