    Conference by now surely? We'd have a strong contingent of Norwegians though

    No, fair play to Ole, not many managers could spend £300m, have a squad packed with world class players and go top of the league after an easy run of fixtures

    Same logic he faced at his time here. Had to sell more than he bought, and got shot down for it after 7 games. Same thing at Man Utd. Sold players and built a new team and instilled some grit. Make sure to not give him credit for it and keep sticking your heads in the sand..

    Since he became manager about 5 first team players have left United; Young, Valencia, Herrera, Lukaku and Fellaini. Of the 11 players to have started 10 or more league games this season, only 3 (Wan Bissaka, Fernandes & Maguire) were signed by Solskjaer. That's not building a new team. He inherited a very good squad of players, added 3 players who cost almost £200m between them and in fairness has them playing well

    There's no defence for his record here, he took us over and made us worse. 44 goals conceded, 15 goals scored under Solskjaer compared to 30 conceded and 17 scored under Mackay. 12 points under Solskjaer, 17 under Mackay. He also oversaw some of the most gutless performances I've seen from a City side, 3-0 at Swansea, 3-0 at Newcastle, 4-0 at Sunderland, 4-0 against Hull, 3-0 against Palace. Pathetic. He also lumbered us with utter shit nobody else wanted that we had to pay off.

    So yeah, great manager I wish him well
