Apparently so, thats the actual mock up of his new gaff. The picture of the island is from the Daily Mail so it may be just an image of a random remote Norwegian Island, it reminds me of the big chase scene from the last Bond movie though. I am feeling Ernst Stavros Solksjaer, Bond villain vibes though, where else would the Baby Faced Assassin hang out.

It’s still so funny to read people saying Ronaldo was the cause for Ole’s time here coming to an end.
Ole was cooked either way. The expectations for the side had increased both in terms of trophies and performance on the pitch. Counter attacks and being happy with losing in finals and semifinals were not going to be seen as progress anymore.
Ole finished 2nd the year before but when you add context of Liverpool having a one year meltdown due to injuries and Tuchel leading Chelsea to the CL that same season you really see the 2nd place position was opportunistic. We were comfortably the 4th best team in the country by the time things stabilised for Liverpool and Chelsea after very rough starts due to circumstances.
Ole had taken us as far as he could by the end of 20/21. He finished 2nd and lost in the EL final, it was never going to get better than that for him.
We were never going to be close to City or Liverpool who finished with 99 and 94 points the following season. With how Chelsea started that season we weren’t close to them either until the Lukaku interview and Abramovic/Ukraine issue.
He had brought some consistency to the team and got us regular CL football but that was it. The intention was to push on and he had no clue how setup a side away from the bread and butter Bruno/Rashy ball. Ronaldo just increased the pressure and expectations but even without him Ole was clueless and on the way down after that 20/21 season.

I totally think it was Ronaldo that did him in. I think the team chemistry was coming together quite nicely and he was bringing in some talent. Ronaldo ruined all of that. Without Ronaldo I think we would have finished 2nd or 3rd that year and Ole would have survived another year. Lastly, I enjoyed our football under Ole more than any other manager post SAF.
