Exactly. We were on the right trajectory until that narcissist Cnut ruined everything.
The only thing embarrassing is the 21% who want us to stick with ten Hag.
Whereas they are probably thinking experienced manager, available
I don’t think we’ll go for Ole again, even as an interim; if we did we would likely stick with Ruud and the other guy we just got as assistants. They would probs work similar to Carrick & McKenna and take on the bulk of the coaching seeing as they’re already experienced.
Ole ball was something else. High octane, reminded a bit of Bayern under Jupp Heynckes last stint. Very vertical and entertaining. It's aged well in hindsight.
And both assistant managers went on to do great.

Tbh Ole would probably do tremendously well as a true interim, and not just someone hoping to cling to the job.
The strange thing is. We signed ten Hag to make the move away from that to a more controlling style. He then proceeds to state that he wants to make us the worlds best quick transitioning side.
He's completely failed and left us with the worst countering side we've ever seen. Far far inferior to Oles implementation.
True. Was just an example of managers that have returned.
He also got the best out of Bruno. Bruno had an insane season under ole where he racked up over 40 G/A
Yeah managers who do well can always return and it can work (Mou, Ancelotti, Zizu, good old ‘Arry Redknapp)
We wouldn’t be appointing LVG, Ragnick, Ole, Mou again in a hurry.
Ole ball was the best period in the last ten years.
Ancelotti is a far, far better manager than Ole.
Just a tad.
This thread is proof United fans have lost their mind after the last 11 years.
Please not this again. It was a thrill at the start but we were a counter punching team under ole. We’ve begun the transition to a different style now, with personnel to fit. Going back to a man who ultimately failed, badly, and hasn’t worked since would be demented. Legend or not.
...unbelievable
For some on here we are apparently only a few bad results away from getting Woody back, because he was around when Ole worked his magic...
This thread seriously makes me consider just deleting my account... I know it is mostly a waste of time anyway but this is actually a bit crushing
Villarreal game did it for me. Ten Hag, Mouriniho, LVG would all have won that game.
We cleared some of the deadwood he helped to bring in. We worked on some of the attitude issues that didn't start with Ole but before but probably flourished under him. And we are at least attempting to develop a semi-recent play style. For fecks sake, we can't just look at football matches and put them in two categories named good and bad. I mean, we as fans obviously can but for everything more productive, thats not going to cut it.
No there is not. It is all periods. Or cycles or phases. What Ole attempted was going back to principles from the early 2000 while Tiki Taka Barcelona started an era of way more emphasis on collective systems. Which was specifically useful to overcome the former style which was more around individualistic approaches. So no, there isn't just one way to play football but when the meta changes, it doesn't make sense to completely ignore this meta and act as we could just do what we did.
Results wise yes. Footballing wise not really - it isn't really great right now, no point acting like it. But lets not act as if it was any better with Jose or Ole.
Even a team with prime Pogba and Rashford in it wouldn't cut in the league anymore against rivals that not only field their own superstars but additionally employ modern tactics and principles that lift their teams a level above the level of its ingredients. For fecks sake, Brighton is outperforming us in terms of multiple performance stats without any superstar. Isn't that ringing any bell? I know it sounds personal, be assured it isn't meant as a dig but I can't wrap my around that people apparently only interested on such a shallow level of the game still log into a discussion board.
Are you really wanting the times of Jose or Ole back? Seriously?
Ok Solskjaer lost the final. But he beat Villarreal twice the next year and Ten Hag has won one European match in eight. So can you explain how Ten Hag would have won that game?
We're at the laughing in a padded room wearing a straight jacket with manic hair stage
ETH wouldn't have got that far to begin with,tbf.
F*ck me, some of the takes in here. 
Maybe Ole is just a much better manager than you so confidently believe? Some of the things you're saying about him just in these latest posts of yours are just straight up untrue, and made-up.
"going back to principles from the early 2000" like what even are you talking about?
One penalty kick away from winning a European Cup mate. Along with a second place finish, that's a season of dreams right there.

Ok.. is what Athletico doing bad ? Is Real following the Tiki taka ? They don't follow tiki taka..
Nobody cares if we win the league playing like Athletico..
Mourinho yes..
LVG AND Ten Hag .. No..
Ten Hag couldn't even win against Twente , Copenhagen.. so let's forget about it ..
Worst manager we have ever had ..
Masochist United. The only explanation for me.
Bingo
We were far better under Ole although many don't like to admit it because of how much better they said we'd be with a 'real coach' etc.
But that ship has sailed, there's no chance he'll be coming back.

Ten Hag won a final against Man City. Ole couldn’t get past them in a semi.
Can never forgive Ole for not subbing DeGea before the pens. Everyone knew we needed a miracle to win a penalty contest with the worst penalty keeper ever! DeGea wasn't even close to save one of the 11 penalties
Doesn’t matter what you say. Ten Hag has delivered trophies. Ole failed to. By the way I rate Ole’s time as United manager in comparison with last season, but his failure to deliver trophies, as proven in a final against Villarreal, would mean I never want him back. And no matter what you say about Ten Hag he still delivered a cup beating Liverpool and City.
But he's won one match in eight in Europe. Are you going to just ignore that?
Yeah, maybe it is different in Europa than the domestic cups. I don’t like ETH so not going to die defending him. Still, losing to Villarreal in a final was pissing a trophy away.
feckin Lindelof lost that game for us
Not sure why you felt the need to preface your post with his player achievements when a) I (and probably everyone on the caf) was already aware of this and b) my post was referring to how most of my favourite post-Fergie memories were under his management.
Seriously if Ole comes in to replace Ten Hag I'm done....
Agree 100%
