In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Hence what I said about lack of ambition.
If nobody else wants to hire him, he's not going to turn it down.
No idea where you're going with this.
He has enough money to turn it down. Anyway, I don't know why you got so irked.
Eagle, the official "Animal"/mascot of Besiktas. Seeing how much I love OGS(was one of my childhood heroes, growing up here in Norway as a MU fan). I'm loving this, because Besiktas is "my team" in Turkiye, or at least I follow them.
It's a shame Besiktas have moved away from their policy of giving high profile players a last pay day.
Could have sold them Casemiro, Antony, Shaw.

I dunno, they've still got Immobile, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joao Mario. I feel like all the big Turkish sides are always going to be open to a bit of that.
Weird this, lot if peeps on here wanted to convince me he had loads of good job offers
I think he was waiting for United to call him back.
The perils of building castles on swamps.
Why are Besiktas just kidding?
That was never going to happen. They don't pay managers much and and Ole's wage expectations vs managerial promise ratio isn't especially what mid-table Bundesliga clubs go for.
Sacked before the end of the season, imo
Do you reckon there is any chance to meet him in Istanbul for a autograph and photo?
Best of luck to Ole
He ain’t got nothing on Antony’s tiger impression.
United beskitas final, it is written
Honestly didn’t think I’d see him back in another club job that wasn’t Molde. I thought he’d do the Norway job otherwise.
Unlike the other jokers, I wish Ole well and hope he finds success at Besiktas. He deserves it.
Was expecting more posts on this when reading the forum this morning.
Hope he makes a good go of it how can anyone not like him?

Agree. Risky project.
By the way:
For which international manager has Turkish football been a good springboard for a further career?
Didn’t do much worse than Mourinho at United, so I think saying he just isn’t a football manager is a pretty weird comment.
This is a nice short term project while waiting for the national team job to be available after the world cup, when his contract ends.
My guess is that he is waiting for the Norwegian NT job - working in Turkey won't be an issue in that case.
And yet you can't resist. Looks like there is nothing substantial you could come up with.
A United manager that became a club "legend" under SAF said "trophies are for egos", that is objective reality.
If you cannot comprehend why other people will never accept such an attitude, you might have just redefined "too stupid".
Mic drop
He started all this mess at first place with dropping all standards about results, trainings, mentality and expectations. Also spent shit load of money on expensive flops. So yeah, he wasn't that bad. He was disaster.
Also; based on his qualities, he WILL be sacked in 12 months. So sack watch is perfectly valid.

I completely agree and as time passes I am starting to appreciate his work more and more.
He will never be a world class manager, or even a top manager but for us, he was quite good, I mean look at where we are now and where we were back than.
Preach.
If he won that ridiculous penalty shootout he would be remembered more fondly. Also the Ronaldo signing, while a no brainer on paper, put a few noses out of joint.
the Ronaldo signing was a pivotal moment - had we signed a playmaker/defensive midfielder - say a Declan Rice who knows how we would have ended up
was nothing wrong with a front 3 of Rashford - Cavani/Martial - Greenwood
pretty sure that season we reached the final against Villareal our front 3 outscored Mane, Firmino and Salah
little did we know back then how everything would fall apart.
They're playing their Europa League game this afternoon, just gone 3-1 up against Athletic Bilbao with about 10 minutes left. Athletic are unbeaten in the competition so far and beat Fenerbahce 2-0 away in their last game so this would be an excellent result for Besiktas.
Up 3-1 against a Athletic Bilbabo side that have gone 5-1-0 before today. Immediate new manager bounce for a struggling Besiktas
They are also 4th in La Liga with the same amount of points as Barcelona.
Good start for Ole if they can avoid bottling this!
Great start for him, was really worried as this was his first match and these Besiktas players aren't exactly known for their stamina and pressing(which imo I thought would be an issue against Bilbao). But I am pleasantly surprised.
Edit: This might end 4-1, just got a deserved pen.

Go on Ole!
Ole ball. Beautiful.
4-1!
Really pleased for him, he promised fast direct football and seems he’s delivering already. Hoping he does well there.
What a guy. Hope he does well
