I doubt it buys him the whole contract duration though. Its not like we have sacked managers with contracts before. But this gives stability to the manager, and the potential transfer targets, so good decision overall I guess.
It's a good job some of these "supporters" weren't around in the 70s and 80s, I'd be really concerned about their mental health.
It's almost as if there are other teams that play football, and we can play a blinder of a season and still come away with nothing.
I honestly don't give a shit, I'm just pointing out that it's perfectly possible for Ole to come away from this season with no trophies and still deserve to continue in the job.
I do.
This it true. The manner in which we finish the season obviously counts. If we looked strong throughout the next season and got beat in tough finals and come away with nothing — I’d still back Ole.
Well that has obviously been figured out now, one thing that never got mentioned as much as “we give deadwood new contracts” is the reliance on young players that slowly come into mid age without improving to the level we should expect.
No not really, rather Pablo Escobar (thinking he was cool when I was a teen)
I think the squad and atmosphere has improved massively, the proximity to actually win, not massively despite the other two area's improving.
I know this sounds simplistic, but he just needs to get the ball in the back of the net. The season before last his confidence was high and he was getting chances and executing them. I think his mentality is the most important thing. We’ve seen Ole’s stance on mentality gradually over the past couple of years so it will be interesting to see what happens.
100%, but reason why I wouldnt say is because of Ole's tactics / in game management. I think he does a lot of stuff better than our previous managers, but his tactics in the most important matches or his game management let's us down.
A win is a win, don't get me wrong. Beating Bielsa with Leeds isn't that special, he beat Tuchel in a knockout which was an awesome match, at the same time, Tuchel beat it when it mattered most with PSG this season.

Exactly!
The reason i'm behind Ole, isn't because i'm Norwegian, or because i believe he is the best manager in football, it's because he is trying to change the club back to what it was, and what i want it to be.
Young, hungry and likeable players who wants to play for the club. Mixing experience with young talents.
I'm sure the results will improve, but you can't change a club overnight and buy 12 new players every summer, and ship out 12 because they're not top 3 in their position.
I genuinely think that most supporters would have a better life if they didn't read forums
We could do and imo would do better if they also dropped this 'lets give a new contract to... Ole wont pick him, but it protects our asset and an excuse not to keep buying a lot of players in one go' attitude.
