Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | W15 D2 L4
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
This period coming up is the true acid test.
3 competitions, big games thick and fast.
If we show fight, spirit and have a positive identity in these games, that's almost enough for me.

precisely
Always knew that one of the Caf's biggest issues was that a section of posters were illiterate.
True but it was added when he first got hired as interim manager. Not last week.
It's misleading is all I'm saying which is possibly the reason for the skewed results. I haven't been misled myself.
Also a whopping 10% are Eboue answers
Also I don't think people who voted against when he was appointed bothered to change their vote.
I've changed my mind, back in Dec I thought we should have gone for a more experienced manager.
But if I am in charge I'd still go with Zidane in the summer if possible.
Jones renewal is all on him, he’s been his first choice CB since Day 1.
As much as I want to give Woodward flak for this, if he was concerned about protecting his value the length of the contract would’ve been much shorter and it would’ve been renewed earlier.

That’s nonsense. 4+1 isn’t a long contract by any stretch. The main thing is that he’s on a sensible wage so if we choose to move him on, it won’t be an issue for him to find parity elsewhere.
'all on him' - literally nothing to do with him by the sounds of it.
Most of the time he's had to play Jones as he's just been the healthiest option. He has started to play Bailly more now.
Well done on completely missing the point, so let me re-iterate again it’s due to Solksjaer this renewal has taken place. It’s his decision to get this done.
No different to Fellaini renewal last summer which only occurred due to Mourinho’s insistence. Both managers like the respective players and used them on a regular basis.
Maybe I've been wildly optimistic, but I'm quietly confident we will beat PSG over two legs, especially given their issues in midfield. I agree with the general sentiment though; the performance probably matters a bit more than the result here.
Officially the Manager of the Month for January 
Our first manager of the month award since October 2012
Give him a 20-year contract.

Except I’d be very surprised if Ole insisted on offering him a new contract. Woodward was always gonna offer him one. Jesus I’m so happy our fans don’t have a say in how the club is run.
Should Klopp get fired if he dont get Liverpool past Bayern?
If so, I think its fair to the opinion that Ole need to get past PSG to be permanent manager.
Just me being fed up with people saying he need to beat PSG, make top 4 and even win CL.

I dont think the decision should be tied to the result of any specific game or games. But the Liverpool game is surely far more significant than the PSG ones.
I don't think it is all on him. But I definitely think he would have put a good word about Jones, if Woodward has asked his opinion. I somehow don't see Woodward not asking Ole about the idea to give Jones a fat contract.
I was 100% behind his appointment to begin with like most United fans, and it's great to see that the team has responded well, but it's too early to say if he's able to take this job on permanently. For me he now has one objective, to get us into the champions league. If he can accomplish this, he deserves his chance after being 11 points behind Arsenal.
The only thing that bothers me is the possibility that the club may have to one day sack him. That day will be hard to accept whatever state we're in. Always a risk when hiring ex players as managers.
Will be awful for Solskjaer to now go from Utd back to Molde. Awful!
When was the last time Utd had an ex player as manager besides Giggs?

Wilf McGuinness?
He confirmed that they were already in talks with Jones before he came in
I'd purposely not changed my vote due to the hypocrisy I'd of felt
Obviously the question has changed now though
When people say Zidane, the thought makes me shudder.
Porch I see the logic, although I still disagree, but Zidane couldn’t take this team and do anything like what he did with Real. I don’t think anyone will without a Ronaldo in the squad.

What’s mad is that Ole has won as many PL games this season as Mourinho - 7.
Took Ole 8 games.
Took Mourinho 15.

Hope he doesn't regret the lineup. But it's saying something when our 75m player and Mata have the potential to ruin our attack.
In all seriousness what the heck is wrong with Paul Ince. Every chance he gets he talks negatively about Ole and his probability of becoming a perm manager.
Personally I would like ole to get it but would be ok if he were to be replaced. But ince is just going OTT with ole not being qualified or ecoerienced enough and what not.
The dude needs to shut it. Sorry folks that’s my rant of the day.

Not sure what else he can do. Rashford and Lindelof both picked up slight setbacks and we have PSG coming up in a few days. What more can he do with the squad he’s got?
My first post here, having lurked on these forums for a few years, (cant cope without my daily fix of the twitter transfer thread and the trump thread).
Its completely insane and bonkers that there are people already losing their minds because a few of players have been rested ahead of a very difficult CL game midweek and lukaku and mata brought in. some even questioning ole's credentials. sorry but that is just madness.

He’s our new manager, isn’t he
I guess this will tell us where go in next few seasons.... not the result but the approach and the attitude
Give him the job now, what are we waiting for?
Check out the watch on his wrist. Worth more than the English median income by quite a margin.
He's doing alright in life.
Believe it was a gift.

He needs to show what his long term plan / philosophy is.
There are so many examples of interims doing a wonderful job as an interim and then not being able to do it in the long-run.
Saying that, he's doing a great job, and if he does get it, good on him.
Are there any interim managers that have shown title winning form over a 6 month period? I reckon we'll do it under Ole and it'll be a first.
Only way to show that is to get the job long term....
What if we miss fourth by a point?
This should be about the football and the progress we're seeing on the pitch. Not about what position we end up in.
