His stats are well beyond anything Cardiff have played since. But keep digging, and Im sure you are happy being where we are. You where wrong. Horribly wrong.
I'm not really sure how using a player horribly unsuited to playing as an inside forward proves Ole's tactical genius. Though how can us mere mortals even begin to understand the tactical genius of a man who saw us lose 4-0 to Hull & Sunderland, 3-0 to Palace, Newcastle & Swansea, left us 17th in the Championship having signed crap we had to pay off at great expense and a ludicrously unbalanced squad

Huge talent is quite the stretch for a player who has gone on to play for Malmo, Seattle & Molde. Ole made some good signings, but the trio of Norwegians certainly weren't among them.

I think its clear Ole has improved since leaving Cardiff, but is he a top class manager? No. He's doing well at United, though its a lot easier when you get to spend over £250m on signings to add to a squad that already included the likes of De Gea, Pogba & Rashford.

I'm intrigued though exactly what you think would have happened had we kept Ole as manager?
