I honestly think 2 points off 5th place is about how good this squad is. Concerned that we are getting worse as season goes on though
Solskjær press conference vs Spurs (H)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This is not a criticism against you or a way to jump on Ole for no reasons but when he uses the same approach in his pressers no matter the circumstances (read results) it will create more questions then answers. Common sense.
As long as our results is close or above expectations he can say whatever he wants, that’s how it works.
Anyway I don’t agree with you regarding being the same because last season from December to Mars his approach was different. At that time he was full of optimism and his belief was different. Today? Yada yada yada....
Cant see him being in charge come next Monday. I can see us taking 1 point in the next 2 matches.
We have him a three year contract so the answer would be yes sir.
Sure he is. He’s supposed to say the squad is shit, we’re desperate for signings and we have lots of money to spend. That’s how transfer business is conducted.
The pressure seems to be getting to him, some serious bollocks being spoken there by Ole. Sad to see.
My english isn't perfect, but this looks like it's written by some drunk person. It doesn't make any sense.
Whatever he says is twisted around in order to fit a negative narrative.
Sad.
It's shorthand, he's only writing down the gist of it.
I dunno he seemed very relaxed to me, almost like someone woke him up in the middle of his afternoon nap just to do this presser.
Indeed. If he said these things, people would criticise him for it anyway. He can’t win.
Elements of our fanbase really are pathetic.
Right this is a genuine question, no trolling, why aren’t the fans in serious rebellion. I don’t mean focus on Ole but about the ownership and Woody? Most other supporter would respect it.
Nah, scouts are only concerned with newbie posters and with the caf being a big target for Oppo wums, decorum isn't a job requirement.
Who knows, Ole I get the fans wouldn't go against him. But why Ed and the Glazers aren't getting hammered every single game is a strange one support the team but this lot really needs a good wake up call. The way this club is being run is embarrassing to say the least.
I don’t think any genuine opposition fan is laughing at United, if anything were just seeing the coal face of what football is becoming, this could happen to any club the fact that it’s United doesn’t give me any pleasure. It’s why I respect Levy so much, you can say what you want about penny pinching but he is trying to make us an Elite club.
Let’s be honest. You don’t have a clue what his injury is. You know literally nothing about it. He is paid a fortune, and by all accounts is a good professional. If he was fit, he’d be playing, like every other top player.
Trouble maker
Allthough I am sure Ole is not good enough to be our manager, he is a club legend. The blame is not on him, it is on the owners, they are the problem. Woodward is their man, target him and try get his stupid ass out of the club. Because as long as he is calling any of the shots we are doomed. Remember that Woodward is the the guy overseen and helped these Glazers to take over the club. Maybe he was promised his current role for the duration of their ownership as long as they were making a profit.? He has brought lots of cash into the club, but I certainly cannot see any direction on the football side of things but plenty on the commercial side. I hope they are up for selling the club soon.
No it easy to see how much the owners matter. You only have to look into Liverpool under Gillett and Hicks v how they are under Fenway. Levy is doing a fantastic job at Spurs and has certainly changed how Spurs are looked upon.
Driving a Range Rover whilst he drives the club into the ground. Cheeky little bugger.
The good ol days of Jose press conference is back in caf.
Just like Jose, he is damned regardless of whatever he says in a press conference

Ok but how the feck do you get Woody or the Glazers out of the club? Planes and shit aint gonna do it.
Jose left united 11 points off 4th. After getting just 26 points from 17 games. Currently United 18 points from 14 games and 8 points off 4th. By 17 games it will highly likely that United will be worse than this time last year.
This is factually incorrect. I have the data to prove it. If I can be arsed sometime soon Ill make a detailed post about it.
That is the question.
Can you do one with Ole's time at Molde as well? Especially some of the more recent seasons where he finished 6th, goes to Cardiff to relegate them while a new manager wins the title with Molde, then Ole goes back to lead them back to 6th and then 5th the season after? Can also include his final two seasons finishing 2nd by a not insignificant distance off first.
Basically, has it always been margins and luck that kept Ole from being the most winning manager ever and stuff?
English is my first language and Ole is talking gibberish (in the 2nd paragraph). I think the pressure is getting to him and he was rambling on about job security.
Yeah but Ole has rambled since he's come back.
Him rambling on and on is nothing new.

Ole on long term plan
We have a plan in place, and hopefully we can get the results to speed it up. Sometimes it doesn't go at the speed you want to, but it's still going in the right direction.
We do have a clear picture of what we think the squad is going to look like in June and July, and hopefully we'll get as much done as soon as possible. With Harry coming in, Romelu going out, it was late. We do have a plan now.

Ole on improved mentality
I felt the team towards the end of last season didn't have the desire, didn't have the heart, didn't have the belief that this was going to turn around. This group has a different mentality

On work behind the scenes
There is a lot of work being done behind the scenes for the culture in the team. We need results of course, that's the evidence. All of those six games we've drawn this year I feel we should have won. We need to do that on the pitch.

On climbing the table when injured players return
I believe in these players and that we can win any game on any given day, but we need to get more consistency. For me, when we get players back fit, if we've got the full squad fit, I'm sure we can challenge and move up the table.
We have a situation at the moment that we've had injuries. I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but I've been part of a squad where you're never guaranteed a place in the team and that's where we're going to get to at this club as well.

The culture in the team is coming along nicely it seems.
On injuries forcing his hand
Players are never undroppable. As I said here, players are also playing for their place in the long-term. We have a situation at the moment where we've had injuries, so players have played. I'm not talking about Andreas or Anthony or any one particular player.

Snake oil salesman.
How are players that are here now supposed to get behind a manager talking about the squad looking different come July, making excuses left and right for an awful season of no progress?
