Maybe but not to the degree he was at United which is my point. Most of them were great players but SAF elevated them way beyond that.
At any other club during that period, they would be still 2nd to United's Fergie.

Neville said Souness went through the same kind of situation at Liverpool when he managed them, Souness pointed out he was there less time than Ole and won an FA Cup.
You're right but he said towards the end.
We tailed off after we were sure of top 4 but there was a good run before that.
He just said he wasn’t good enough…
Surely that was his last game, right? International break now. We easily have one of the best 7 squads in world football but have a manager in charge who wouldn't get another job at literally any club in one of the big leagues. What the feck are they playing at?
They don't tackle. Our central midfielders have managed 37 tackles this season from a possible 81. That's a 46% success rate. That's the lowest in the league, Wolves on 48% and Southampton on 54%, the league average being 60%. Pogba for example has a 20% success rate.
It's a team wide problem though, we have the lowest total number of successful tackles (121) and the lowest success rate (56%). It's not even like therefore that the rest of the team make up for our midfields imcompetence. It's across the board. You could argue it's tactical, but then I read an article a week or so back showing how awful our midfield passing stats are too. So they don't pass and they can't tackle. Honestly, feck knows what they do. McTominays good at heading the ball and Fred runs around a lot.
Can’t believe we did not get Conte.
Keane absolutely losing the head and saying Ole was better off out gets the caf up in arms. Nobody mentions Hansen saying the Glazer's did nothing wrong. Very odd.
Do the right thing and use the International break to get him out.
When you realize that City didn't even make a single sub today. 
We're so embarrassing.
We're so embarrassing.
Nah, Conte is a psycho and it's good we missed out on him otherwise we would've embarrassed ourselves...
Looking from different angle, why would Ole resign and lose millions of dollars. He will never be so lucky in his lifetime again.
It's not his problem that Glazers and Ed are so incompetent.

I know, thank feck. He wouldn't suit the team at all.
No the run before that which secured top 4. But yeah it's even more wishy washy seeing as the season ended poorly.
Mctominay is too old to be "learning his trade". He's better than what we've seen this season, but he's not levels better than this and never will be.
Yep good point… well said.
Well this is it. Manager's not called Conte tend not to resign.
Arteta at least he has a idea of football
This one is the absolute zero in everything
This one is the absolute zero in everything
After some thought I actually think he would. 343 and most big players would be playing in their best roles.
Doesnt matter now though
Large amounts or a few lesser reds ??
Knowing the board they’ll use the international break to let things cool off before giving him another 3 games to prove himself and the cycle continues.
Yeah, the board didn't want to be held accountable for being rubbish by the manager again.Nah, Conte is a psycho and it's good we missed out on him otherwise we would've embarrassed ourselves...
Klopp, Zidane, Guardiola left their clubs on their own volition.
Exactly my feelings too. Add to that the idea that any United fans would dream of one of their legends managing the team to trophies, and it's easy to understand why some are so reluctant to let go of that that dream. But enough's enough. No need to hate him. He did a good job in righting the ship when he came in but now we're leaking a shit ton of water. It's clear he's nowhere near good enough and has to go. Only question is when they're gonna pull the trigger.
You may be right too. We certainly need a big personality like him, and there's not many around. None that I can think of.
And we made 4 and looked gassed.When you realize that City didn't even make a single sub today.
We're so embarrassing.
Anyone else checking out till Ole is no longer the manager?
100% man. They mocked and looked down on many posters while being a collection of the most toxic people on the site. No doubt that fact never dawned on any of them though.
The comparisons to Fletcher are outright disrespectful to Fletch. He was already one of the best midfielders around at the age McT currently us.
Exactly. He's 25 soon.
Well said. The Glazers are an absolute cancer. They nearly got their way with the super league too.
He’s not wrong. The ridiculous protection managers get by their buddies in the media while the players are thrown under the bus needs to be called out.
Cowards!
Yeah, some people saying he isn’t the right guy, like we know who is the right guy. He was the only one to no throw the season away in October. But here we are with another season wasted early on.
And we had an extra days rest from the midweek
lazy comparison because both are Scottish and came from the academy.
He's not wrong at all
