Solskjaer top of the Premier League

Re: Solskjaer top of the Premier League

I clearly pointed out how its not a new team, but its nice to see you still care about the club enough to post here Mr Solskjaer

Slade was appointed because they wanted someone they could trust after Mackay AND OGS taking the club for a ride.

Re: Solskjaer top of the Premier League

I would bring back neither, although Slade had to sort the mess that OGS left. We had 44 senior pros under that tosser. Slade was a better Cardiff City manager than OGS. OGS is a better manager now than he was when he was here but I still think his players have an awful lot to do with that. Let's see what he wins at Man Utd. I bet he wins sod all.

It was widely reported that all the Norwegians cost upwards of 2m each. And their relationship was investigated, they are bent. He had a stake in his mate's company, too.

To be fair, 24 year olds Jo Inge Berget and Magnus Wolff Eikrem were undeniable hot prospects, just look at what they've achieved since leaving!

No you didn’t.. Didn’t address the transformation at all. Neither the players on loan or the ones in the hole. Not the ones he brought through the ranks, neither the fringe ones he made footballers. Just a bunch of nothing, really.

Agree. Berget, who was a highly regarded prospect achieved nothing. Henche his 100k fee. Would have made the club a profit though, if not run by idiots. Eikrem? Well, he achieved a lot more than any Cardiff player the next couple of years. But not living up to his Ferguson tag. Would still make the club profit, if not run, and supported by idiots.
Dæhli? 16 highest ranked talent in the world at his time at Cardiff? Got his career ruined by injuries. But he payed the bill from all of them signings and leaving the club going steven. You point being? Clutching at straws?

He was appointed being a yes man. If you did your homework, you would know Ole was to, in the premiership. But refused to the next season, and got sacked for it.

You're joking right?

You'll notice I didn't actually mention Daehli, I thought he was a good signing at the time and still do, he was just unlucky with injuries.

The other two though, come on. Berget went back to Sweden, went to America, back to Sweden. Eikrem the same but he ended up back in Norway. They were poor signings. Solskjaer made some good signings, Morrison, Pilkington & Manga were all good buys, but surely even you have to accept he made some shit signings?

Re: Solskjaer top of the Premier League

He seems to be doing a decent job there at Utd now but for me, it was terrible to watch here. It’s one of the few times (and there’s been plenty of opportunities) where I stopped looking forward to going down. Came across as a nice guy and all that but the team looked clueless.

IMO the difference is he’s dealing with a totally different level of squad to play the style he wants, and the players here weren’t good enough to work with it.

Still think they’ll fall well short for the league this year but wish him all the best

No Im not. Berget was a value signing, and didn’t do his rep anything. Eikrem did. I followed him the next two years. He was way above what ever went on at City. Malmö was at the time both a better and bigger club.

Reading what Ben Turner said, I’m not sure what was his signings or not. What I do know is he put his own players out on the pitch, finally. And got sacked for it seven games in. He is now, at least for one more day, on top of the world. Here we are in the same pot hole we where when he left. That’s facts.

Sure, whatever you say. If they were the great players you say they are we wouldn't have had to terminate their deals because we'd have found a buyer and they wouldn't have spent the rest of their careers in Scandinavia and the MLS.

Yeah he is top of the Premier League, but let's not pretend he got the United job based on his managerial career

Terminating their deals was pure stupidity! The fans demanded Daelihe on the pitch, Slade put him on as a target man against Millwall. Some fools even bought into it, and still do, by the looks of it. Terminating Burgstaller. Cala. And even Guerra. Pure stupidity, and having the nerve complaining about finance later.

No, he got the job because the hirarchy of Man Utd knew what you should now know, and acknowledge.

Aye, nothing to do with being a former player

Some. But I think it has more to do with his studies and stint as under 23 manager. Remember, they didn’t want him to touch Cardiff.

Terminating their deals because nobody wanted to touch them and they were disruptive influences at the club. Ask McNaughton what he thought about some of their attitudes? We signed these players on massive wages and we couldn't shift them. It's OK, he's definitely not done the same deal with Ighalo at Man Utd, wonder who his agent is?

Yes, that was it! The brilliance of father Slade not being able to dismantle a team in two weeks.. With fans like you buying into it. Ask McNaughton about the attitude of the players we had in the premier league! Ask Cala and And a few others what they where told once Father Slade came in. Ask Eikrem what was told when Scott Young came into the picture. Nobody wanted to touch Burgstaller? Really? Embarrassing...

I know what they were told, Wolfie baby. I know what they acted like. Tan might be a lot of things but he isn't thick. He isn't going to pay up someone's contract if people want to buy them. That's not even thick, it's basic. People didn't want to know as they were on far too much money here and were giving it the big I am.
