He's a 46 year old man but still seems like everyone's son.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | W15 D2 L4
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
He's getting the job.
Forget everything else and put yourselves in the position of Woodward on the Glazers.
You've got to choose between two candidates. Ole is a club legend, adored by the supporters and liked by the players. The fans sing his name even when the team are struggling and he's the perfect public image of Manchester United.
The other is Poch. Now there's no denying that Poch has a better CV thus far and is a more proven manager. However you'll have to have the mother of all fights with Daniel Levy and probably have to fork out £30+ million to get him. There are no guarantees he'll be success here. Whenever there's a vacancy a Real Madrid would be speculation would be rife.
It's not difficult is it?

We shouldn’t jump to conclusions on this one yet.
Don’t we owe Paul Ince at least a shot at it, so he can proove to us that he actually could do it?
Seems to me like the only decent thing to do..

I think 90% percent of the fans would rather wait to see if Ole worked or not. Rather than we spend massively on another manager, we could use that money for massive investments the team needed.
At this point, Manchester United fans believes in Ole, and wether he will be a success or not, that's another chapter.
He does, just wears a heavy jacket on top so it's harder to notice
Still winning his own league by some margin.

+5 points to Liverpool and City
+7 to Arsenal
+8 to Spurs
+13 to Chelsea
It tells you everything about how disastrous was our situation before he came, that even after a run like this we're still 5th and 6th if Chelsea win his remaining league game. Even the excellence in terms of results and breaking historic records every week could not be enough to get us top-4.
I say this in anticipation, because if we ended up 5th or 6th I can see some people telling how he isn't good enough because the man isn't able to get even a top 4 place in the league. So when we analyze things let's remember where we come from and the general context.
No pre-season, no signings, learning about his players and changing our approach along the way, and still getting more points than the league challengers. I'm not sure if everyone is aware of the magnificence of all this.
It's an interesting thought that if the top teams had all been maintaining their current form since the start of the season, we'd be about 10 points clear at the top of the table right now. I think that's worth bearing in mind when considering if Ole deserves a crack at the manager job and a fat transfer budget for next season.
He can wear a mankini for all I care as long as we keep winning.
I quite like the thought of that
Yea, that’s a good call.
I agree, give to Incey until the end of the season.
Btw, what is "Ult" in your name?
Darmian / Valencia / Rojo I can see going this summer for sure.
Mata I think might get moved on if we can get a good replacement, but he will still be a good squad player if not.

He's undoubtedly got the job full time. But it'd be foolish to hand him a long term contract. Two years is sufficient to see how things go.
He's about as nailed on as you can get now. I was sceptical at first, but how can you not love what he's doing with the club.
I'd still like a director of football before the summer to help guide our transfer stratergy, but as a coach in that set up I can't wait to see what Ole can do.

2 years should be the standard going forward, with it reviewed every summer as to whether to extend by a further year.
Woodward is telling himself that Ole has decades of experience playing for United so who needs a DoF.
I have a question, if Ole continues to win throughout the season and still doesnt get the job full time, how would the supporters treat an eventual new manager?
Pep is struggling to get Mahrez and Sane playing his system
Whereas Ole has players like Mata and Lukaku coming into his system (that he changes for every game) and playing well/flourishing

Paul Insult.... just trying to be a bit celver and semi-funny
It will be ridiculous if he is not confirmed now. He can finish sixth, what he has produced is incredible. Far better than anyone expected.
It wouldn't be the fault of a new manager but I said recently that Ole has created too much of a "what if" to not get the job now.
Good tactical changes today, he is squeezing every ounce out of a depleted squad of tired players, he has absolutely changed the mentality of the team.
He definitely has that Fergie magic this season. But, I am wary of anamolies in football and one season wonder. Either way, if he can continue beating these mid table, lower league team, it really would not matter how well we do against the top team unless we want to win the champions league.
There's no doubt about it this is Fergie's United back again. Makeshift teams to coup with injuries accompanied with thrillers and 3-2 wins at Old Trafford.
His managing an injury ravaged squad in a manner you'd expect of Fergie himself. It's actually incredible what he's doing with what he has at his disposal. And he keeps adjusting to every and any problem or additional injuries on the hop.
Said he should get the job some way back; by now it would be absurd for him not to.

Poch and Spurs wobbling would have probably made this decision a lot easier.
Deserves it too... Been better than the 3 managers we have had since Fergie retired.

The win against Southampton was all about mentality, digging deep and digging out the win, that comes from the manager. Today we got another example of how Ole's winning mindset has made a difference to this United. Everything he says and does sets the tone: we're Man Utd and we believe we can win every game. We're seeing the fruits of that now and I wouldn't swap Solskjaer for anyone save Sir Alex!
Doing the Lord’s work.
Bin off Young and the job's his.
He's working wonders to get results from this squad with the amount of injuries piling up. Could he be our Guardiola? I hope so and think so.
Yeah but he really needs to overturn the PSG tie to get the job...
Wankers

Shouldn't even be debated anymore. He is getting the job. You can like it or hate it, this is fact.
If he doesn't get the job, this will Woodward's stupidest decision yet and that is saying something.
That was about as Fergie a Utd win as you could get.
Make things as hard as possible for ourselves, snatch a late winner.
Even got the 50/50s in our favour

The Right One
Ole with some of the signings of the caliber that the caf has been demanding is a nightmare prospect for the rest of the league.
