I would have given him more time, but if it was only going in one direction then I respect the decision of the directors inc. Sir Alex and Sir Bobby. Let's start a new chapter. One of the reasons I am relieved is because I won't have to listen to anti Mourinho rants from the likes of you anymore. So whenever you are ready... you can begin the character assassination of Ole. Good luck! You're funny!! Assassination? Don't be a drama Queen. I say it as i see it. Its just that you behave like a child when you read something you don't like. Anything you don't like or agree with a "rant" or an "assassination" Go figure, Ricky..... Anyways, "Ole" was yet another not very smart move imho. They could have picked another more experienced stand in with the same intricate knowledge of the club. Not a clever move from what is seeming an ever more incompetent board.

It's the worst time to get any deals as everyone is over inflated and you owner don't like to pay inflated prices but we'll see. The word is that Barios is done but part of the deal was that he stayed to play in the Cpoa Libertadores final. True, who knows, but i think we have to do something. Grealish?

I don't feel you've earned to right to call anyone clueless on the basis that you were constantly trying to tell us Mourinho was doing fine and throwing your toys out of the pram when everyone told you different. However, the idea of a Keane/Viera joint management team is clueless. But then again, the appointment of the baby faced assassin suggests Woodward and the board are still game for a laugh. They can't even appoint an obvious interim!!???? I'm starting to think Pochettino won't want to work under such a clown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nev Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Actually found my way back on the United forum, My mate Rus won't be happy his thread has gone, But we are all happy Mourinio has, I liked the guy but it was plain to see some players had stopped playing for him, I mentioned this last month and sure enough same as at Chelsea he has been forced out by the players. The players who did this need to be Disclosed and sold bad eggs the lot of them. A special mention of Pogba he is a prick and needs shipping out asap. And Ole interim manager a bold move by the club but one I am very happy with, hope he gets all the backing he needs and gets us back on track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I have great respect for my fellow countryman Solskjaer , what he did as a player. But his tactical skills as a manager was horrible at Cardiff and also Molde , even if he won a title with them . Maybe Solskjaer and Phelan as a team can make it work, but they should be more worried about the defense than scoring goals. Cardiff will probably be an easy match,, but they will struggle against better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I think that's part of the reason he's been brought in. Lives and breathes the club. Also liked the way he was talking about not concentrating too much on the opposition and concentrating on what we can do. TBH though.... I think people misunderstand why Jose was the way he was. He sets such high standards for himself, that when he isn't doing well (even when we were 2nd or 3rd), he felt the need to justify himself as a manager and why he has achieved what he has. Possibly a little insecure, but not egotistical I don't think............ anyway. Water under the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, caretaker, mate, a caretaker!!! Do i really have to break this down like i'm explaining to a five year old? Don't distort what i've said in order to make yourself sound clever. My "opinion" is that he has far more experience. Do i actually care? Not even a little. I'd thought i'd add my opinion as it seems i appear to know more about what goes on at United than you do!! The entire football world would know he would be "caretaking for a few months whilst you try and poach our manager........you can be hard work sometimes!!

Sparkles Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Don't have a problem with Ole's appointment and significantly the very underrated Mike Phelan by his side. Phelan was a calming influence even in SAF's tenure. SAF wouldn't have kept him on if he wasn't valuable to the cause. Let things take their course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
