That is nothing short of superb, at any level.
He has to get the job full time.
Fair play .......... Utd deserved it
9 away wins on the bounce including arsenal Tottenham Chelsea and now PSG with 10 first teamers out. Can’t knock him..
It seems to be the perfect match between him and Man United. The job he's doing there is incredible and he deserves every plaudit...
But it still doesn't change the fact that he was shit with us and had to go when he did.
Such thin margins United didn't deserve to win that game let alone progress.
Mourinho had sapped the life put of United and he is the perfect tonic for that.
Oh, hey! Wolf is back everyone... Hooray.
You will never convince me that Solskjaer would have turned City's fortunes around. The base he has at United means he can implement whatever style he wants to play and the players are good enough to make it work. They were missing 10 players tonight and still had a few hundred million pounds worth of players in their starting line up... He wouldn't get that at more than a handful of clubs.
I've already given him credit for what he's doing at Man United and it doesn't seem to be a fluke... But stop trying to re-write history. He was a terrible manager for City and was deservedly sacked.
I know I won't. You don't have the brains for it. Straight lines and long balls, , with a short term potential is more than you can handle. I'm not rewriteing anything. Just giving perspective.
He just took his reserve team and made a night out out of it.. Anyone could have done it 👍
It was just a quick glance on Wikipedia. He stopped playing in 2007 and managed the reserves in 2008. I never knew he had a short stint coaching fully grown men who were among the best football players in Europe. How would he know what to do without first starting on the bottom rung of the coaching ladder?
First Pep, and now Ole! This is turning into a bit of a scandal, with all of these managers taking short cuts into coaching. Who is helping the kids?
I never said that at all. I said that you would never convince me that Solskjaer could have turned around City's fortunes. How can either of us be wrong when we will never actually know what would have happened?
Whatever Solskjaer achieves in his career will never mean that he could have fixed the mess he helped to create at City... And that's what I'm talking about when I say that you're trying to re-write history.
It's all well and good talking about patience (or patients) but when you're a recently relegated manager and taking your team towards the relegation zone in the division below, how much time are you expected to get to turn things around?
Basically, we will never know what would have happened had he stayed, but we were on a downward trajectory from the day he joined the club and I'm glad he didn't continue in his role any longer than he did.
It was never about winning or loosing at that time. it was about red and blue. Toxic. It had to take time. it even had to take Slade. If you dont understand that, so be it. The day Warnock makes a first half change like that, ill give it to you. But your simplistic "it didn't work", dont sit right with me..
Ole should go down as one of the greatest managers we’ve ever had. Thanks to him helping to take us down and struggling so badly the following season, Tan put us back into blue. So it turned out alright in the end!
Of course it doesn't sit right with you and you seem to take it far too personally.
In my situation, it's nothing personal at all when it comes to Solskjaer... he's actually one of only 3 Man Utd players in history that I'd ever admit to liking (Mata and Kanchelskis are the other two).
I just can't agree that he should have been afforded more time when results were poor and there was no cohesion on the pitch.
"I don't even take my personal life personally" :hehe: Seriously, Wolf, Google 'David Brent'. He's essentially a fictitious Brendan Rodgers in terms of ridiculous sayings and isms.
You're just writing off his failings in the Premier League with City then? That will certainly help his win percentage, if nothing else.
