Or, more rationally, he firmly believes in the work he’s doing, as well as the long term plan at the club. Hence he’s eager to stick it out, even if short term results aren’t what he’d expect them to be.

Faith. Let's hold hands and sing Kumbaya.
Let's see if he can improve this attack in the transfer market first and foremost. No fecker is doing much with a Pereira, Lingard, James and Rashford front line are they, let's be honest? There are small tweaks we can make but we're not exactly blessed with alternatives.
Yeah, Lukaku should've been replaced before being let go but we still would've lacked creativity with him anyway.

He will stick until he's sacked. But shouldn't be criticized for that. At the end of the day it's a job and it's a business.
He said that the "right forwards" weren't available in the Summer. What makes you think they will be available in the Winter or even next Summer?
I don't think he's a fraud, l genuinely thinks given time he can turn things around and l think if you ask Roberto Di Matteo he genuinely thinks he could have done better at Chelsea. But managing at this level is beyond him.
Then why do the "top reds" say he does not have the same motive like Jose, at the end, Jose did the same.
So the argument now is built on something cant be proved at the moment. You are telling me to stop criticizing/doubting him because he has a long time plan that its result cant be seen at the present time, rather in few years?
He relegated Cardiff then was sacked the following season 17th in the Championship. That was 5 years ago. Hasn't been seen near that level since until we decided to take him in.
Regarding his stats in Norway:
Sound familiar?
The stats show us as having relegation form. We are drawing closer to the bottom of the table with every passing week. If this carries on, we definitely will be near the bottom of the table, there's no ifs about it.

@Giggsyking I think that argument is irrelevant tbh.
Who was the last manager to resign in the "best interest of the club"?
At the end of the day he will receive a handsome farewell package and why shouldn't he? It was the board that made the mistake in appointing him..

Ole is just fine, but the club can’t afford him the time he needs. Think if we stick with him we’ll come reasonably good though, but probably never as good as we aspire to be.
Zidan!
Well, if he goes another transfer window or two without managing to bring in the players to improve the attack then obviously it'll be time for him to go then, but I'd like to see him at least get the chance until then.
I like this analogy.
My terminology is probably a tad extreme but I find it difficult to continue to make excuses for this man.
The trouble with this club is that whatever a manager says, we have to read between the lines to decipher what’s going on & as fans we honestly don’t know so I’m going the route of judging OgS on his teams performances & comments in the press.
He raised fan expectations from before last season had finished when our form nosedived & he told us he knew the issues & had identified solutions. Here we are 2 months into the next season & the glaring holes from last season in midfield/attack still need filling.
I think Ole needs to go, but calling him a fraud is disrespectful. The guy has nothing but love for United; he's just in over his head.
No idea why isn't he playing Mata. He is bad but still better than Lingard.
Well you can argue that he stepped out at the right time, just after Cristiano left and the team needed a rebuild. Since then they are in a bad position and he still took the job back..
We will be near relegation zone if you give him another window or two.
I'm not sure what it will take for some to realize he's a poor manager.
Don't you know? We are special and we are unique. We do things other clubs can't do. The United way is sacrosanct and we always stand by our manager. We don't boo them like the other clubs. That's why we have been hugely successful in the last 8 years and guess what? Let's stick by Ole. He is another Fergie in the making. Can't you just discern this? If you can't, it's on you and not the manager. We are not like other clubs at all. You should have known this a long time ago
I'm going to hate seeing this guy get the sack if it eventually happens. You get the feeling he believes he's doing a really good job.
He has Fergie DNA. He needs our full support even if we get relegated because that's what true rebuilding is.
Agree on the 'Ole is a nobody' comment, but lay off the insults.
I don't think he does. The results are absolutely appalling - worse than anything we've seen from a United side in the Premier League, even under Moyes. He must know how badly this is going.
He's pushing the "performances", "young squad", "long-term build" angle because it's all he has and the only narrative that can keep him in the job.
Taking the piss surely?
At least all the nut jobs have dropped the he was happy with the front three argument, clearly wanted someone else in as most sane people argued.
The extent to which some wil go to defend this out of depth man. Now it is the assistants at fault. Why don't we bring in the assistants at City or Pool and then all will be well. They don't need Guardiola and Klopp just like Ole is not crucial but the assistants.
So if he is such a great manager and its all the players fault, why cant he replicate the form the team were on that got him hired in the first place? He had a full summer to add to that team and get he fitness levels up to standard blah blah so why cant he get the team to play the way they did that landed him the job?
Was that not obvious?
I mean, true fans would never disrespect the legend. Ole needs minimum of 10 years for this rebuild. Be patient or you're a plastic fan.
Why does he persist with Lingard? Imagine giving that clown a new contract if the rumours are true.
Agree, I think we should offer him a new contract ASAP just in case other big clubs notice the amazing job he is doing.
Your point doesn't make sense. We don't know who is having what effect. You could fire Ole right now and those guys might be the ones to take over. Nothing more wishful than thinking that it might be better than Ole being in charge. New backroom staff could be a less dramatic way to change something. You could just as easily fire both manager and staff after, if it proved to not be the problem and the cause was the manager.
Thought so.. its a bit difficult know with the some of the posts in here. Yep 6 transfer windows at least because he loves the club.
Well said but you will be accused of not being a top fan or not loving the club and being a glory hunter.
True rebuild begins from the Championship. Ole is the man to take us there.
He needs of course some financial backing. Villa got 150m or so this season, he would need 300m until we properly evaluate him.
The entire coaching stuff need to be sacked, but shifting the blame from the manager to his assistants is just hilarious and I think it's the first time to happen to any United manager post SAF. Back then people used to say "the buck stops with the manager". Now some are throwing the blame on everyone else even the assistants alone. It's desperate.
I don't like Carrick as a coach though and I don't think he's doing anything significant and as for McKenna he has been very overrated imo. However that does not excuse Ole. He's the manager. We can only argue that they shouldn't be staying after he gets sacked.
Don't go to reddit because you'll really get confused since it seems like the majority opinion there is that we're in good hands under Ole and any criticism is looked down as "kneejerking, whining"
That subreddit is even worse than here thanks to down voting of course. I used to post there at one point along side Caf before stopping eventually.
I did say McKenna wasn’t the hero everyone was portraying him to be last year when CAF proclaimed he’d bring attacking football. He’s just a decent youth coach and that’s about it. That doesn’t mean it’s going to work at the higher level.
Then you have Mike Phelan and Carrick who don’t really inspire anyone with confidence.
Who pushed the one reliable goalscorer he had to Inter Milan?
