Can't believe I was expecting this team to compete for the title at the beginning of the season
I mean, the fact he got second with this team last season makes him look like Fergie winning the league in his final season with the team that he had.
This team should be more than good enough for top 4, don't be delusional.
oh i dont love him just laughing at this thread, prob the wierdest thread on the forum. oles time to go had come. just funny how desperate the posters are in this thread. wonder will it still be going in 5 years / 3 more managers with a totally different squad of 20
And don’t forget games were played behind closed doors. Less pressure. It was noticeable as well that even the year we came 3rd we were shite up until lockdown till about that last month before. You cannot underestimate how much playing behind closed doors benefited us.
We moaned for years and all those pricks claimed we were talking shit. Well this is it.. this is the end result of your Ole reign. A reign that they claimed would set the club up for years to come. It’s as low as its ever been. I remember the abuse and blame laid at what Mourinho left behind. This tops it.
I don’t think you can blame Ole for having a manager that’s unable to get the best out of this squad, although plenty are trying their hardest.
That's what happens when the club listen to fans. Most fans are idiots.
The prices were not Ole’s doing, that’s Ed. Have to wonder whether they were first choice signings though. Although he went through that buy British phase that turned out nicely for you guys
Obviously Ole didn't set the prices, but considering everyone knew how much the respective clubs asked for long before the transfers were completed, any sane person would've thought that "Hm, maybe I can do more with £130m considering I've got a [non-unlimited] transfer budget and a squad that needs overhauling". Instead, he chose to still go with those targets, only to then burn his first XI out towards the end of every season in charge due to not trusting his bench.
Solskjaer is one of the worst things to happen to us in the last decade. Look at the sate of our squad and then look at how much he spent. It's shambolic. As for the imbeciles who were desperate for a former player to succeed at the cost of the wellbeing of the club, well, I hope you're proud of yourselves. What inspirational top reds you are.
Stay away from the truth if it makes you better. But we know where problem is and it is not managers. Time for you to maybe look at players instead of managers.
city signed a player for the same money as AWB who literally is a rapist, and has been replaced multiple times since for another 60m
but somehow ole signing AWB is insurmountable for every manager for the next ten years - an impossible job when ole signed a right back who future managers dont rate !

You can’t put someone with a fantasy football level understanding of the game in charge for that long and expect to be left with anything resembling a team for the next guy.
And no, us Ole outters still can’t let go now he’s out because of all those weeks, months, years of witnessing what was allowed to happen to the club in the hope of a hollywood script ending. It won’t be next season when we can talk about making a full recovery from this either. We have NO team, just random players on ridiculous contracts.

He didn’t set the prices but he sure played them at every opportunity so he obviously rated them and thought they were good enough for Utd.
I couldn’t see Ole dropping his Rashy like Ralf has no problem in doing. Ole fell into a common trap any manager in any profession can fall into and become best mateys with his workers. Managers have to be a bit of a bastard sometimes, ideally tough but fair but Ole never seemed to be that. If you were in his circle of trust, you were untouchable and if you weren’t, then you would be frustrated as feck. He was so averse to using Dalot and Telles and then Ralf came in and they look to be his preferred fullbacks and I can see why. Did he seriously think Fred and McTominay are good enough to be in central midfield? He had a good few windows to look at that but thought that was fine.
I don’t think he’s wholly responsible for everything but he certainly contributed to what we’re seeing now. I think he’s enabled some of the attitudes we’re currently seeing from the players. I think he was too much of a pushover in the players eyes.
”Doesn’t matter if we half arse it today, lads, Ole will just say that’s football and pick us again!”

Shhh, that's too much red pill for some.
People still blaming Ole 4 months after he's gone, no surprises there. It's Arsenal Fan TV at this stage... Mourinho was instantly forgotten about (thank god) after he left.
Because this is his team and he signed shite players and left them uncoached.
Whatever you say or thought about him as a manager at least they had the players mindset right for a Derby match. To repeat under him United won the last three Manchester derbies in the Etihad Stadium scoring 5 and conceding 1.
Shaw and awb aswell.
As every month passes, Ole's legacy as a manager looks worse and worse. We're playing better football under Ralf but this is a squad that was built haphazardly. No need to go into it player by player throughout the squad but I'll just mention here the RW position.
Even though it would have us more at the time, we should have brought in Sancho last season. No contract extension for Mata this season and last season, and no deals for Diallo and Pellistri. These are three players we're not using and didn't need if we had brought in Sancho last season, who could have bedded into the PL last season and hit the ground running this season.

We were told that the players weren't the problem and that once Ole left and they were coached properly things would be good again... just got thrashed 4-1 against City 4 months later. The team needs a clear out. Fans need to grow up now and move on from Ole now in my opinion
They're still at it though. Ole can do no wrong.
The thing is that ole will be brought up again and again because of these lot defending him blindly. It will take years to fix the mistake of ole's tenure.
Hope you Ole outers are happy today. This day is yours.
We have been very comfortable against Manchester City, primarily winning our games at Ethiad under Ole. And the squad was strengthened prior to this season.
There are several players who are struggling a great deal with their form, and the synergy just isnt there this season. How, or if it can be repaired, I dont know, but the foundation was certainly there prior to kickoff for the 2021/22 season.
Also, please dont be so childish that you insult people who arent even responsible for who the club hires. Why lash out at people who have nothing to do with whats happening? Be an adult.
Who told you that ?
Everyone knew for the longest time that maguire, awb and mcfred were shite.
People still blaming Ole for the clubs failings are hopeless.
Enjoy the next twenty years tearing your hair out and allowing this club to sour your lives.
You will be far better off if you can accept that the club will be without success while the glazers linger.
The reason Chelsea and City became global powerhouses and the reason United have suffered tumescent football and results for nearly 10 years are exactly the same… the owners.

Good player for us
left us with a bloated squad with no fight
tarnishes his legacy greatly imo

It is actually Ole outers that constantly bring up Solskjaer for our players fault. Not the other way around.
We got new managers and we should support him. However, when we have players we have that let you down in most of games there is little a manager can do. Regardless of the name of manager.
Every single pundit and the stampedes of fans saying that "the players aren't being coached properly", suggesting that if they were everything will be alright again. The team is far worse than in 2020/2021 and 2019/2020.
Because we're stuck with the nearly $200 million worth of shite he brought upon us?
It’s illogical to pull Ole into the conversation for recent failures. Yes he was bad and rightly sacked months ago but Ralf had many players sent on loan and some really good backup options to use but he didn’t was his problem not Ole’s.
For example, Dalot and Matic could’ve done a decent performance but not started.

Ole's major targets were Maguire, Rice, Haaland, Bellingham. The club instead wasted 50m on Diallo and Pellistri. Had they not signed DVB and just paid for one of these lads (Belligham should have been simple) and things are a lot different for Ole and this club.
Every Maguire disasterclass, like the one today, is going to remind us that Olé spend 80M on him and made him captain.
Two of the worst managerial decisions in the club’s recent history.

Pundits never gave ole stick. Even now rangnick has received more stick from the pundits in a dozen games than ole did in 3 seasons.
And yes the players were never coached. Even ole himself said he didn't coach the players and neither did the assistant manager, which means carrick was coaching the players while learning on the job.
Mate, fecking Watford dicked us 4-1 in Solskjaer’s last game in charge, not the current champions and one of the finest teams in the world.
The one real legacy remaining is that he still has people defending him which is beyond hilarious.
VDB has said clearly in an interview Ole pleaded him to join. Convinced him. Pellistri and Diallo are 100% ole signings.
Yes Ole had those as "major" targets because they are bang obvious most valued players of the time. Unfortunately this is not football manger and we are not galacticos. We don't have the luxury to spunk nearly $200 on targets like Maguire, Bruno and AWB only for them to turn out to be just okay or a bad fit.
Ole was a complete disaster. He didn't have a single bargain signing that he could judge on his own. Even likes of Mourinho had Liindelof and Dalot at least as shrewd signings. Oh, Ole had Igahlo on 300k p/w loan as a shrewd signing
Everyone in our squad was supposedly shite because they had no coaching. Plenty of instances of “if Klopp or Pep had X player then it would be different ..” and “if there was a system then the players would be better..”
Who spent £450m over six transfer windows and ended up with these players then?
