The job is too big for him.

I thought the most damning thing about last night is teams like Burnley are no long fearful of going to old Trafford.
Wouldn't it be boring if one club dominated the PL forever (unless it was Cardiff City of course!). Success tends to go in cycles. I don't know why but it does. Wolves, Spurs, Leeds, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City have all enjoyed their moment in the sun since the late 50's but nothing lasts forever.
Man Utd enjoyed perhaps the longest period of dominance but for the time being that's over and regardless of which manager they employ, they can kiss goodbye to sustained success for many years. Yes in my opinion they have the wrong man at the top and he'll be gone soon enough but no amount of chopping and changing will resurrect their fortunes.
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.
It doesnt really work like that. Liverpool havent won the league for 30 years but still have as many plastics as ever. They are usually third or fourth generation plastic.
United went 26 years without winning a league before Fergie but loads of kids still supported them in the 70s and 80s because their dads were fans of Georgie Best, Bobby Charlton.etc
"Ed Woodward, is gonna die.
"How we kill him I don't know.
"Chop him up from head to toe.
"All I know is Woodward's gonna die."
Charming little ditty . Fans not happy I fear.
I can't understand how Ole got the job in the first place.
Best thing Man Utd can do is sack Ole asap.
And, i've got to agree with wj99mobile's statement:
I do feel that Sir Alex doesn’t get enough stick for leaving a squad on its last legs.
Whilst I don't particularly like Sir Alex, I can't agree with yours and wj99's sentiments regarding him "leaving a squad on their last legs"
Think about it logically. If he had tinkered with his his squad/team in his final season, there would have been a very good chance that United would have missed out on the title. As it was, he accomplished his mission before handing over the reins to his successor. Do you really think he should have dismantled a successful side, building for possible future success, knowing that he would not be part of it?
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.
And the other thing I noticed last night was that Ferdinand was very careful in his criticism of the club and didn’t directly slag off OGS which is laughable.
Neville is the same: easily the best pundit on TV by a mile but refuses to make any negative comments about OGS. Shocking hypocrisy.
