It honestly still shocks me that people think Ole is going to turn out to be Klopp or Ferguson, absolutely mind boggling what people have come to accept at this club just because the manager is an ex player. I'm behind the club, and so I want the club to try and get the best person for the job, and if they don't work out, try another person, and another person, thats what all the top clubs do these days, until they find the right one.
The problem for me is whilst this Ole tenure has been better in parts than some other managers post Ferguson, whats been consistent the entire time is just how its played out, we play well in a few games, very well infact, followed by some games of absolute dross, it comes to a "Ole needs to save his job moment" and then we somehow pull out a 4-0 win, and that cycle has continued constantly, his ingame management has not improved what so ever and is terrible, i think the game against PSG proved that, we still cannot do anything against teams with a low block, we'd be nowhere near qualifying for the CL group without penalties, there are alot of times where the players look like a unit and other times it's like they've never played on a pitch together before, this isn't a couple of months into his tenure, this is years now, and we're still seeing this kind of inconsistency?
You're not gonna sit there and tell me oh well look what Klopp did in his first 2 seasons just be patient and convince me Ole is the right man for the job just because he used to play for us, true there have been times i've been swept up in it, but when you really sit down and look at us and think about it, he really isn't the man for the job, would i want him to succeed? absolutely you're damn right I would, as i'm sure anybody who is Ole out will tell you the same. I don't care about winning trophies right now, nor do I think we have a divine right to win one, however what I want to see is true tangible progress on the pitch, as a footballing team, what I normally see however is the difference in a match when Bruno is having a really good game, or when Bruno is having a really poor game, other than that I don't think we have ever looked particularly good on a consistent scale.

Exactly, man. We should still sing about the glory of Moyes and Ed. How about the owners? They're a massive MASSIVE part of the Club.
