Ok, a new manager coming in will have to cope with massive expectations. Do they have big enough balls to cope with CR7, Cavani, Varane, Pogba, all winners in their own right. This tends to suggest that managers like Conte and Zidane would be required, but I'm not so sure they would be a good fit.
I feel that a new manager will initially be given respect by all the players, but obviously what they do on the training pitch will determine whether they get the backing of these players.
I, personally, wouldn't have a problem with Graham Potter, or perhaps Thomas Frank, both have decent pedigrees, and their club sides play good football, and seem organised. Potter has thrown a lot of young players into the mix, and is a little unconventional, sometimes changing formations during matches, so he is quite reactionary, something that Ole sometimes struggles with. Potter is also likely to give some of our very promising academy graduates a chance, where Ole I believe, seems a little conservative in his actions.
I think Ole has done a great job so far, clearing out many players, and bringing in some talent, and our academy is the strongest it's been for many a year, but it does appear that in some matches the coaching staff struggle to find the answers.
Ole can leave with his head held high, but I really think his race has almost been run, albeit I have supported him from day one, I can't see him being here at the end of this season.
