For sure no, Solbakken is building up a team and has made good progression.
Well, it is the only time of the year the players are coached by people who know what they are doing.
Nah, Solbakken has had that job down several years before he was appointed and he is doing a very good job. He will be a Norway manager for years. He's actually a good manager, same with the B/G manager, shame we got the worst Norwegian manager out there. Even his successor at Molde is doing a better job than he was doing in his second spell.
You realise the irony of throwing out comments like “no one will ever give him a PL job again!”
Ive added context by including stats such as his win %, the amount of PL points picked up in his tenure and even a long unbeaten away record. It’s clear that he’s ran out of ideas for implementing a system but what annoys me is people making silly statements like above. It’s just statements made our of anger and bitterness rather than fact.
I’m not even talking about top jobs, and we have people saying he won’t even get championship jobs. It’s just bollox.
That was the only one I could think of too.
I didn’t say when
The Championship is recognised As one of the hardest leagues in Europe Do you honestly think there will be a queue of chairman’s looking at him?
Ole has proved time and time again that he has limited tactical nous and goes with the same 11 Players each week.
And please don’t start me on his decisions on offering fringe players new contracts. Hercule Poirot couldn’t find Mata and Jones after there contract extensions
How he's still not been sacked is beyond me, it's laughable anyone thought he we would have a crack at the title with Ole as our coach.
See you’ve already thought of at least one place where he might be offered a PL job.
I’d be very very surprised to see him get a job in this country after this. He was awful at Cardiff and his lack of tactical acumen is being massively shown up now we have players to compete. He won’t manage in the premier league again.
I was baffled by the optimism from our fans before the season started. We have never ever performed well with Ole in charge and we have massively overperformed in terms of points won. It was clear that the results will catch up with the shambolic performances sooner rather than later and surprise surprise, it did...
You do realize Jones is still playing back to fitness after 18 months out? I thought everyone’s understood that by now.
mata I agree with you but ole doesn’t give the contracts out does he? I don’t know why the board decided on that one
Today reminded me how much I dislike this uber hack as well.
His long unbeaten away record won't matter to a lesser team, the small teams mainly depend on getting enough points at home to stay in the league, and Ole's record at home with Manchester United is abysmal. It's not a fact but my opinion is he won't get any offers to manage in the PL again.
Clubs now want managers with a clear idea on how to play with the ability to get the most of their players, that's not Ole. That's why they're going for the likes of Potter and Viera and not turning back to Pulis and Pardew.
Literally anyone or anything. The tea lady, a piece of furniture, a bucket with a painted face, Karl Pilkington.
It's not as rare as you think actually. And surely you're not still clinging onto the Pogba stuff?
Ole deserves some respect and the board need to put the guy out of his misery and let him retire to Norway with his family.
Not just Pogba
I have found myself disagreeing with you on other stuff.Tbh regarding Pogba, all I've always tried is to give context and a fair assessment. Disagreement is fine anyway, as long as there is some respect in the end.
Concerning Ole, no one would be stupid enough to resign and give up on so much money, best case scenario is an agreement between Ole and the club and he is replaced
Its very easy to play against us at the moment. Our midfield is non functional and as a result we cant string 3 passes together. The amount of times we lost the ball today was truly staggering. I honestly think our coaching team is devoid of ideas while preparing for a game, or whatever they manage to come up with is easily being guessed by opposition managers.
I understand why Ole wouldn't resign. It's his dream job and he would want every last chance to rectify it. The blame should be on our incompetent board for allowing this to drag on.

Michael Owen from around the 6 minute mark here, compared to his usual drivel, talks the most sense I've ever heard from the man in my life. I didn't know he had it in him .
I've reiterated the same thing on here, Ole has his favourites who he can't bare to upset so he'll actually change the formation to compensate for their poor form other than just dropping them.
Maguire, Shaw and Fred have all been atrocious this season and even Bruno has been well below par, Bruno, for me is one of the main reasons we're losing control of the midfield almost every game.
McTominay has also under performed but I honestly think if we dropped Fred and Bruno for Matic and VDB, we'd see a different McTominay. Fred can barely string 2 passes together and Bruno thinks he's Ronaldo's strike partner.
Maguire and Shaw have been a total embarrassment and a proper leader would have them on the bench until they get their act together.
Actually, it perfectly visualises the whole "Ole's at the Wheel" thing!
Neil Warnock?
Sam Allardyce till the end of season?
Owen's been on point for a while now. Today, he was visibly aghast. Which is unusual.
Yeah it does.
He probably nailed the Pro-license, as standing in front of a camera, giving ‘interviews’, are somewhat a big part of it apparently.
Needless to say, he has run his course with the club and thus has to be replaced asap (which he won’t, unfortunately).
He should be sacked immediately..
True. Maybe Southgate can knock some sense back into Harry. He's been shit since the Euro final.
So you want to restructure the midfield to get the best out of Mctominay, rather than one of our best players?
Considerations will probably end up with a new contract offer.
Bruno is playing too far up the pitch every game leaving our midfielders stranded. At times it's a flat 4 up front. Bruno needs to play closer to midfield and be the one who links the midfield and attack. He's not doing this as he wants to be the highlight reel player, also, all his throwing the arms and complaining to his teammates when he's giving the ball away 100 times a game is infuriating.So you want to restructure the midfield to get the best out of Mctominay, rather than one of our best players?
No doubt he's a decent player but pundits rave about him as if he's on the same level as an Iniesta or David Silva when in fact he's not in the same league as those guys.
i hope Manchester United are monitoring the situation
thats a particularly good joke, so on point and witty
Hm, it is quiet around club. Would not be already inside news about "manager is safe" or similiar rubbish?
You're blaming the player for the tactics there. We saw in the Spurs game that he was more than capable of sitting deeper. As for highlight reel, he's changed the way he's played this season as can be seen with his goals going down but chance creation going up. Not really trying to steal the headlines is he?
Granted he's not playing well, but there have been bigger issues and dropping him to help out Mctominay makes no sense.
The silence is deafening, although I'm sure I made an identical comment after the Liverpool game. I do suspect this time it will actually end up with him going.
Wish I shared your optimism.
