Ole Gunnar Solskjaer | W15 D2 L4

I think a big factor to why OGS didn't succeed in Cardiff is that they didn't have the players to suit his style of football. They were your typical hoofball championship team.

And he got thrown in there in mid season with a team literally in the s***t. Wrong club at the wrong time

 

[The Brown Bull]

The squad is simply bound to improve thanks to this.OGS is the mirror opposite to Jose, he will get performances from the players just by the force of his upbeat persona.
I wish him the very best of luck.

Great read. That piece suggests he's an extremely attacking minded coach. Look at his FBs in those pictures. Furthermore, his style could lay the groundwork for another attacking minded coach.
Trouble is if how fast he can implement this system.

I used to get the VHS subscription in the nineties with highlights and features and such.

Remember like it was yesterday they showed the raft of signings in 96, Johnsen, Cruyff, Poborski, Van Der Gouw.

And one OGS.

Remember him scoring against Blackburn on his debut and being named the baby faced assassin. Pretty much became one of my favourite players.

I probably want him to succeed more than anyone.

 

[Tarrou]

Goes without saying we'd hope that, but it will depend almost entirely on who the new manager is

 

[Foxbatt]

I have another theory too. Could they be grooming to see if Ole can take over the DOF position?

No.

It gets weirder by the hour

I think Fergie is repaying Solskjaer's loyalty as a player. SAF has played an absolute master stroke here.
Solskjaer keeps his job at Molde whatever happens. He starts 11 points behind 4th. And an old familiar face will be there to support him.
It's an interim position so he won't be sacked.

If he manages to steady the ship and get the team playing well, it puts him back in the world view as to what potential he has as a coach. There's no ego, little pressure, just a passionate love of Manchester United who as a fan desires to see things turned around.

Everyone wins, and its thanks to SAF.

It gets weirder by the hour

It is weird to appoint him as the interim manager in the first place.

 

[Samid]

BBC say he has landed.

 

[Kapardin]

It is weird to appoint him as the interim manager in the first place.

Well, Davey Moyes is available.

Solskjaer was an extremely loyal player for us. Was used heavily as an impact player, and yet never made a fuss about it, and never desired to leave.
I'm happy to see him get this chance to really kickstart his managerial career on the world stage.

 

[mu4c_20le]

It is weird to appoint him as the interim manager in the first place.

Seems like an obvious choice for me. Better than letting Carrick/McKenna take over, who have zero experience. Personally I was surprised that Ole/Molde were okay with it but there you go.

 

[shamans]

There should be a press conference with him doing keepy uppies

 

[Eric's Seagull]

Well, Davey Moyes is available.

I read an article that Moysey said he would have done better if he was given more time . Give him one thing he is not short of confidence.

 

[Salus Populi Suprema Lex]

The legend returns. I couldn't be happier; Ole will do just fine until the end of the season.

‘Solskjaer wants his team to press high up the pitch and disturb the opponent early. This doesn’t change despite going up against tough opposition.’

I just creamed my pants

Positive attacking football?!

Moseh plz

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

I know nothing to do with managerial career but f it, what I would do for a finisher like him in the team.

 

[ash_86]

He's here

 

[FootyGirl88]

 

[Eric's Seagull]

He's here

YIPPEE

 

[Manchie]

Very strange confirmation when you get it from PM of Norway Erna Solberg

 

[leontas]

He's here

Old picture but glad he's here

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

He's here

Given it's daylight that must have been 4-5 hours ago.

 

[Samid]

He's here

Yeah not really. Posted 6 hours ago when he wasn't even on the plane to Manchester. Think that's from his Cardiff stint.

 

[Barca84]

Watching these videos only reinforces just how much quality we had in the past and how impoverished our team is now.

 

[Eggberto]

Conte - Relegated with Atalanta

Rafa relegated with Newcastle...fact

Very good article from my recent go to analysis site. I only found out about it recently but have mentioned it on here several times. Thanks mate.

 

[simplyared]

Probably, but tbh I don’t think there is anyone else at our club anywhere near as qualified to make a decision on who our manager should be.

Go along with that. He made a mistake with Moyes though.

 

[Escobar]

His first training session will be tomorrow apparently. Players haven't said a thing on social media either.

I'm sure there was a ban

 

[All 3 United]

He’s on 400k a year at Molde FK and we will pay them 1.8m to borrow him for 5 months while they are on close season?? Then pay them 8m if we decide to keep him? If that is true then Woodward really does need sacking.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

 

[Jazz]

Phelan making quite the sacrifice swapping a warm summer in NSW for an English winter.

He dare not say no to Sir Alex!

 

[lsd]

He's here

I see Phil Jones lift behind him as well

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

He's missing their pre-season, missing out on discussing transfer targets. I'm sure managers do more than this during the off-season, but those are just two things on top of my head.

In the grand scheme of things, £1.8million is nothing.

 

[Red Devil's Advocate]

There is no ulterior motive here other than having someone who knows the club inside out and has managerial experience. Unfortunately or fortunately the likes of Hughes and Bruce don't count because they have been institutionalized by the ways of the Premier League. In Ole, we have a possibility as he is someone sensible and well accepted across the fan base. Moreover his emphasis on attacking football is what we actually dig.

Irrespective of how his previous stints ended, the circumstances, resources and the players at hand are unlike anything he had at his disposal previously. If we can remain in top-6 with attacking football, I think he will seal the deal by summer. The current arrangement is just a convenient arrangement between the clubs so that Man Utd don't become a club without a clue which will have ramifications on the financial side of things too with Molde just respecting Ole's ambition for what he has done for them.
