    Where's his CCMB Norwegian cheerleader these days? The one that abused anyone who dared question OGS' managerial abilities.

    His time was up before he started. They'll probably give him until the end of the season though. Be interesting to see if he can get another EPL job. I somehow doubt it. I can't think of a single club I think he could help.

    And conversely another club that he could help - the only reason that he is still at United at all is because he was a 'legend'.

    Whoever decided to make him perminant , after what was supposed to be a loan management period from Molde , is the one who should be sacked.

    This.

    Re: Ole's gonna walk

    He did have a really good run for a few months when he was temporary manager so can’t really slate the board for giving him a crack at it.
    However does seem the club is in turmoil and they are nowhere near the glory days they used to have. Could go on for another decade to be honest.

    I think that was mainly down to him "not being Jose" - the players suddenly got their wish to get Jose out and decided to start playing.

    Exactly. Then he signed a permanent contract and the players almost instantly took their foot off the gas.

    Added to that, I think that his caretaker period coincided with a strange run of fixtures culminating in what has to be one of the luckiest ever wins at PSG. Watch it back....

    Instead of standing back and having a closer look at the facts, United just appointed him. Bizarre.

    They didn't have to give him the job permanently in March though. They could easily have waited until the end of the season. No other club was going to jump in and make him a better offer.

    Probably not but it did seem to be the perfect fix back then. The players and fans all wanted him to stay, even ex players and media alike we're saying well why not, give him the job.
    And as it is its all gone backwards even more since then.
    Harry Maguire £80mil? Farcical.

    Football goes through cycles and with Man city's rise and investment to the top and now Liverpool up there both will dominate for the next 5 years at least. It'll take Utd an incredible challenge to get close to both clubs now.

    Ed Woodward is the issue apparently

    Re: Ole's gonna walk

    Ed Woodward took responsibility for United's transfer dealings in the summer of 2013, following the retirement of Alex Ferguson and the resignation of David Gill. The team had finished as Premier League champions in 2012/13.

    Since Woodward took up his current position, United's finishing positions in the Premier League are as follows:

    2013/14 - 7th
    2014/15 - 4th
    2015/16 - 5th
    2016/17 - 6th
    2017/18 - 2nd
    2018/19 - 6th

    When they finished as runners-up in 2017/18, United were 19 points behind champions Manchester City.

    The way people are talking about Solskjaer's reign, it's as if the club was in a decent position before he was brought in. It certainly wasn't. Manchester United have been in a mess for more than six years. During that time, Moyes, Giggs, van Gaal and Mourinho have all failed to turn them around. Now it appears almost certain that Solskjaer will also fail.

    There's a common denominator here and it isn't Ole.

    Agree that Woodwood deserves most of the stick but they are worse under Ole than they were under the previous two managers. I don't even think it would be a stretch to say he's doing worse than Moyes.

    If you watch them they look clueless.

    Quite possibly. I watched them against Liverpool on Sunday and they looked pretty decent at times, but I haven't seen them much this season. However, what I will say is it's obvious that the club is currently rotten. The transfer policy since Ferguson left has been a disaster with some very high profile failures. Ole is almost certainly not the man to turn things around, but it's notable that a couple of the biggest names in the game also failed to do that.

    If they do get rid of Solskjaer, who could they bring in? It's not going to be a simple fix by any means. But, to me at least, it seems obvious that Woodward's reign has been a disaster. If I was a high-profile manager who was in the running for the United job, I wouldn't even consider it until Woodward has been moved on.

    Sacked as well.

    I agree with that. A shocking lapse in judgement. A little bit like Ferdinand's comedy performance after the PSG game

    I dunno what Ferdinand said at that time .

    He was quite scathing of the whole set up last night.

    Ollie has brought Man U much closer to my heart . They were brilliant last night.

    He said:

    "Get the contract out. Put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him put whatever number he likes, for what he’s done since he’s come in. Let him sign the contract Ole’s at the wheel man, he’s doing it, he’s doing his thing. Man United are back."

    There is a genuinely hilarious clip (all over Twitter) of Ferdinand making a right fool of himself on BT Sport whilst coming out with the rubbish above.

    It is on a par with Steve McLaren commentating on the Eng vs Iceland game, when Iceland score.

    It is that funny.

    If you look at the stats from that run it always pointed to it going tits up. He’s a nice guy but he is clueless when it comes to any tactical decision.

    They made progress against Liverpool apparently.
