Until we win a few games again. Don't worry you wern't they only one who either changed their mind or went mysteriously quiet in this thread in June/July.I don't mind. I've come to my senses now. I was swayed by the end of last season where I hoped he would come good. Who wouldn't have been back then? Before that period I hadn't been a fan since the beginning. But I now know, that was a case of letting my heart rule my head.
In the caveat at the end, I highlighted how we still can't counter teams that press us nor can we break down deep defences, and hoped he would bring in new assistants if he was unable to overcome it himself. Instead it's the same old after two years, I don't see anything changing now with this, and believe we will always have a ceiling to how good we can be under him.
You also said failure to get top 4 season wasn't going to be Ole's fault just over a month ago:
If Ole gets top 4 this season it will be an epic achievement.
None of what is happening now is to do with Ole or the players.
Morale is at an all time low because of the board's failure to deliver on their promises. They made out all along that getting top 4 = Sancho.
No depth in a gruelling schedule. Players are going to have to run themselves into the ground to do it. And for what payoff? Get shafted again like this summer?
I expect he will be the fall guy for the board and get the sack by Christmas after a meltdown season ala Mourinho 15/16 at Chelsea. There's already news today of Poch being sounded out & pressure being put on Ole to perform. I can see it a mile off.
