Solskjaer's legacy and his future

Peppa Pig is actually entertaining though. Plus it is loveable and kind of fun but not what you’d call sophisticated. Might win the odd low-key award but no Oscars.

Agreed. The slandering of Peppa Pig is scandalous, next they will be after Pingu.
 
168 matches and it all started going downhill since siu came. Surely he noticed it.

A better course of events would've been Ole stepping down after the EL final loss. Yes he would be going out on a low in losing a final but looking at the two seasons he was in charge for we would've had two top 4 finishes including a 2nd place finish. He would've left things in a much better place than he did later that year when everything fell apart.

Spot on.

Top bloke, legendry player for us; his managerial spell is all very meh though.
 
It's a shame that he wasn’t able to add Longstaff to his list of overpriced British nobodies

I think a better course of events would have been: No Ronaldo return. Ole stays until summer 22. No Ralf. EtH takes over. Might have swung a 4th place finish that way.

This isn't how it would have happened. He had a special ability to keep the wheels of going nowhere turning. He'd probably somehow draw and beat Ajax then ETH would be called another flavour of the month, no doubt in another whoop whoop thread. I never saw plot armour quite the way Ole had it. Only a more beloved legend was able to break it.

2012 was less of a disaster to watch than that. Best part certain bunch will try to wash his stint by painting cnut Ronaldo as main reason for his fail, which is complete bullshit. He emp the shit out of us with all things under him.

Stuff like this is so cringey.

What does he think that would achieve? He’s not coaching those players anymore. Does he remember the instructions he gave for each game and which were followed?

Literally zero point to this other than sentiment. Total waste of time.

he's no longer the manager, he had a dream job with quite a few highs and lows, he's allowed to get sentimental!

He can keep it to himself rather than bragging about it!
 
I'm no Ole fan (as a manger) but people really think he watched all these games with his goofy smile and a pint?

He probably watched to see what went well and what didn't to learn from those mistakes for his next gig.

Finally a top level manager coach and psychologist steps out in public to share some adamant knowledge about how to develop as a manager, complemented by emotional lip reading, all SoMe based!

Fifteen seconds well spent!

He is probably very interested in learning and improving.

Unfortunately for him, and it pains me to say that because I loved him as a player and cheered for him as a manager, he's already 50, if he hasn't become a decent manager by now he will never be. Probably a good manager for the norwegian league and that's about it.
Not everyone gets what they deserve, that's life.

I’m already 50, what are you trying to tell me here?
 
It was a disaster, and a really painful period as a fan. He was so likeable but it was always so obvious he wasn’t a top coach.

The damage (years of bad coaching, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Ronaldo and even Sancho so far) more than proves that outside of his moral boosting caretaker phase, it was a massive waste of time for everyone involved.

Extremely frustrating when you think of what we could have been building for 168 matches.

Maybe he thinks there's something to learn. Which seems reasonable enough, and not a waste of time. (Unlike making a post at Red Cafe to the effect that it's pointless and a total waste of time, in which case that post must be an even greater waste of time).

Terrible manager. Still no new club a year without a job.

As you said; he is a terrible manager. Clubs know that. Based on his CV (Man Utd manager) he waits an offer from good clubs from top leagues. In reality his level is Championship at best.

Exactly this. The statement is a purposeful release designed to imply to anyone interested that he's watched and learned from past mistakes and is now a wiser, better coach. He's advertising to get back in the dug out.

We finished 3rd and 2nd in his first two full seasons.

Ole was never going to take us to the next level but he wasn’t terrible until Ronaldo and a lot of current PL managers would do worse.

With 3 years and 300m quid, to get 66 points, 74 points, no trophies and leaving the next guy with an absolute clusterfeck of a squad. I doubt it.
 
Seems like he learned nothing, since he didn't quit watching sooner.

300 milions and zero trophies. Honestly, that is teririble.
 
On the positive side, I will always remember his winning goal on Camp Nou and that unforgettable night in Paris when we upset PSG. But that's about it. Ole was a sub, and he will be remembered by "moments", not by any sustained success.

Bang on.

It isn’t that he wasn’t good, but he wasn’t good enough for United, all said and done.

His reputation seems to be quite heavily damaged which I think is partly down to very vociferous criticism he has had, mainly from United fans but also from the media. If enough people say he’s terrible and say it loud and often, some of that shit sticks to the wall.
