So are you expecting this squad and a different manager to be better than City and 'Pool?
The win % is not to imply that Ole is the best ever, but to show that maybe it is not as bad as it reads in here. Fergies win % by the way is including a 20 year long era where we were the Bohemoth of English football. Talking of sacking the manager when we have lost only 6 of our last 37 matches is just crazy, especially when we have nothing to show for the last 7 years.
Is you expectations based on past or current status of the club and squad?
Your post pretty much makes my point regarding the discussion being so black and white, so thank you for that! Even managed to put the word hoax in there. Thanks again! Trump would be proud
No I'm expecting after 2 years in charge to have a style of play at the moment we are one injury(Bruno, I hope not) to being shit.
How can you recruit the right players if you don't know what type of football you're going to play.
Basically your post makes my point in the first place. The win% is not to imply that Ole is the best ever but a lot of the posters in here with these stats are claiming that before Ole took charge, we were shambles, demoralised, no Man United way, nothing in the last 7 years and so. Like he is the second coming of Jesus.
Also the bit about nothing to show for in the last seven years, I'd guess you started watching football the last 2 years. Because in the last 7 years we got an FA cup, a league cup and a Europa League. I know it's not something great and all but it's the exact opposite of nothing. Ole fan boys were calling a success our 3 semis and the 3rd place.
About the Trump comment I'll tell you what, just because I'm not a native English speaker for me hoax is just a word that describes something fake as the "rebuild" of Manchester United. Why won't you try and learn Greek maybe. As for political views noone is interested but I'm a communist so keep me out of your fascist or "neo-liberal" capitalistic shits.
So wrong and ill informed.
He been at the club 3 years?
Also as couple posters have pointed out hes hit his targets. If your target is league title ASAP then that is on you. Ole job was to qualify for champs league, then build from there, and totally overhaul the squad.
He is currently doing them things. Their is no magical pill that can just give you what you want in record time.
You're being very aggresive with my posts but I'll tell you this, I know that he hit his targets (some, attacking football is a myth that he keeps feeding to his supporters like you) but the whole "rebuild" thing wouldn't stop if Ole gets the sack and someone more capable comes along.
Well, we were not exactly in the best shape either after Ole took over. I agree that comparing win% to someone who managed 40 years ago is irrelevant, but considering the frankly hysterical reactions we get here at times he has a point: Its not so bad as many people would have us believe and largely speaking we have been pretty decent since Bruno arrived.
Also, that bolded part: The EPL is much more competitive than the other big leagues in Europe, especially Spain and Germany where the top dog(s) have vastly more resources than everyone else. Bayern for example use their closes rival as a farmer club, which is just bizarre. Could you imagine if we regularly kept snatching up Liverpool's best players?
And the rebuild is not a hoax, its a fact. I dont know why so many are in denial about this. Just because we used to win the league regularly and had a squad that pissed over everyone elses does not mean it had to be that way forever. We dont have a divine right to challenge for the league every year and right now we are still a few steps below the best clubs in the world
I'm not saying that we are in a terrible place but I sure wouldn't say that we are in a good one either. At the moment we are one injury (hope not) away from being shit.
OK I'll give you this, that the "rebuild" is a fact. A lot of posters like me claim otherwise because clubs rebuild and progress always, every single day. I don't know a club that has the same structure, the same players, the same coaches, the same manager, even the same style of play for let's say 5 years for example. When Van Gaal was here were we not in a "rebuild"? Mourinho later maybe? Hell even with Moyes we were supposed to be "rebuilding"
As I mentioned before the whole "rebuild" thing wouldn't stop if Ole gets the sack and someone else comes along. You want to tell me that if Ole leaves we will stop the "rebuild"?
It's like wanting to build a house and you find that the mechanic wasn't suitable for the job. What do you do ? Stop building the house or get someone that can do it and has experience of things like that?
