Honestly guys, do yourselves a favour and stop watching these press conferences. Ole always talks shite and if he isn't contradicting himself he just uses cliches.

He doesn't actually mean it - it's just something people say when they survive the storm and want to look strong when they are feeling weak. He hates criticism, especially criticism that could see him lose his dream job.
Ah, now you want to chat. A minute ago you were telling me to go and support another club. No thanks mate.
You are overthinking things just a tad too much.
To be fair 90% of all manager and player interviews or conferences are cliche ridden bollocks
You've got some threads asking if our fans are too nice and then you open this cess pit of a thread and get your answer 
This is sage advice. It's not worth getting worked up over what a manager says in public. Best to just read up on the team news (if you're interested) and disregard the rest of it - there's absolutely no insight to be found in these kind of public pronouncements.
I don't like his press-conferences, it was nice after Mourinho's meltdowns but now I would rather see him being more honest with himself and us.
You can't really be honest in these conferences. It's a PR exercise with a bit of team news thrown in. A waste of time for everyone concerned - they'd do as well to put out a weekly statement with a list of available players on it and leave it at that.
That is true to an extent but for fans it's the only "contact" we get with the manager and at times some genuine questions are asked, that's when I would appriciate honesty.
Have you ever clogged up a toilet and not dealt with it? And just allowed it to sit, fester, and brew for a few days and weeks? That's what we're doing with the Ole situation.
And the stink doesn't somehow go away. It just gets worse and worse and worse, until you deal with it. Evidenced by all the "irrational" comments, which really are the culmination of 3 years of cluelessness from the board, topped off by a lack of reaction after being given the worst drubbing in the modern era by our fiercest rivals. A drubbing that everyone and their dog saw coming.
Truth is the situation is untenable, and pretending it isn't will only lead to more reactions like we see in this thread. All this PR and pretending we're doing is just an insult to everyone's intelligence, and ultimately a waste of time.

So to be clear you saw his smile and felt compelled to go online and post about how you don’t like his smile?
Do we have a “Physical features I hate about Ole thread”? Because I’m not entirely sure it was a relevant comment to make @UnofficialDevil.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about his hair do you think it’s too grey now? Or what about his eyes far too blue aren’t they like Man City’s colours? Please enlighten us.
Not a very funny post to be honest.

It’s like a semaphore convention in here.

So true. Particularly because Ole genuinely seems a bit deluded in what he's done/how we've been playing so he's hardly going to come out and not fight his corner/give generic answers as other managers do.
Well if Ole's pearly whites bother you that much, it's probably for the best.
I support United, not Ole. But thanks. Maybe when he is eventually sacked, you can support which ever club hires him.
Ok. Looks like Ole is here for the season. I have some constructive criticism for him..
I notice that he half says one word then changes is mind and says another word. He does this with sentences too, half saying one sentence and changing his mind. This makes him look unconvincing and nervous which is not a good thing, especially for the players.
I would like Ole to speak less, maybe even pause longer before answering, but with less hesitation and more purpose. Utd could surely pay someone to train him to speak better. I think it would help him immeasurably in delivery of his instruction to the players and speaking to the media.

Ignoring the rest of your bullshit, what the feck are you taking about in bolded? He lived in Manchester for 15 years, its the only English city he's lived in, what other accent is he supposed have a brummy one?!
He did. And played on the right when asked. And got sent off making a last ditch tackle as the last line of defence. And scored a goal in a champions league final.
What would you prefer, crying, ranting or a more measured, stoic approach?
Bu.. Bu.. But Pep if far superior tactically, he doesn't even play a striker, working towards that 0-10-0 formation...
Improvement? In high pressure, competitive work environments, those that seek criticism tend to be the best off.
Jaysus, some of these posters have been walking in the moon too much. Amusing though
Yes, feck the CL trophy and all that. I love Donny a lot more. He´s awesome.
You spot nervosity in peoples eyes and by their body language. He didn´t look nervous to me. Not a bit.
Quality control
This. It was just a year or so ago that he was going against RvP saying only thing he'll take is his no. 20 shirt. He's such a phychopathic liar that he himself doesn't recognize how many times he has contradicted himself, not to mention he uses every opportunity to bring his time as player to keep the nostalgia going. And some here still refuse to come out of this fraud's arse. Ole deserves same kind of ridicule that politicians get for lying using race, religion, etc. to manipulate general public
When will Ole inners stop using his time as a player to justify his time as a manager? These are entirely separate career apths. Ole's time as a player has never been questioned.

Well this seems a really well thought out view point based on a press conference.
Well let's hope you like the new manager's smile otherwise you'll have another problem on your hands.
I rather think you should be honest to yourself. You´d love his pressers if we were top of the league. The situation considered, he handled it really well.
So, how many games will it take then, before you start hoping for us to win again?
But he does know how important bench players are. Maybe these guys need to be super subs before they are first team regulars?
Maybe the worst post I’ve seen on here, well done.

I feel a new thread coming….
“Which Ole replacement has the best smile?”
You fool it’s not about the games winning or losing or patterns of play. It’s the teeth! Don’t you see!?
If Ole can’t produce the correct ratio of tooth to gum during press conferences then how on earth will he balance our attack and defence? If the man can’t control his own face to the satisfaction of some on here how can we ever hope to control the midfield?
If not nerves then maybe he is over-thinking his answers. He mixes up his pronouns too, particularly "we" and "I". When I watch his old Cardiff interviews he speaks with much more ease so it is not a second language issue. He needs speech training.
Polygraph tests do not use eye movements to detect lies. There are more ways to detect nervosity than eye movements.
Such tremendous gowlishness on display all over this thread. Ole says the right things generally. There are many sticks you can beat him with, but for god sake you just look pathetic trying to pick him apart for a few words before a game. Gowls.
No, I haven’t.
He does well in the pressers to be honest.
You're all just on the rag at the moment.
