Solskjaer Announced on 3 year deal

[Adlab]

As a City fan I am just a little bit pleased! How much of recent form is the sacking of Mourinho? We’ll have to see.

That’s the million dollar question and one we’ve tried to answer prematurely

When Man Utd kept failing to announce any certainty over Solskjaer’s future, I thought, at last, they’ve found some wisdom to hold fire. But no, they’ve just thrown that out the window.

Psychologically, this will now alter Solskjaer’s mindset. Rather than keeping him on his toes (which was no bad thing and would have kept him sharp and eager to deliver and prove himself), it has changed the dynamic. In one sense he may be get too relaxed and settled, in another there will now be an expectation to keep delivering at the high bar he has set for himself. But what if Man Utd now don’t make the top 4?? That surely is a crucial target this season that has arguably been threatened by this decision. Also, it’s getting to the point now that Man Utd actually need a title rather than a few more domestic cups/top 4 places.

I disliked the Gary Neville comment some time ago that “if Ole didn’t get the job, they’d be mutiny among Man Utd fans.” We’ll see what happens, but it’s useful to bear in mind that those who try to lead mobs usually end up being chased by them.

Spot on Mikus.

Just imagine what discussions will be going on in the boardroom if we absolutely nose dive down the league now. They’ll be forced to stick with him and let him invest in players during the summer, all the while knowing they’ve made a terrible decision and have to go into the new season with a feeling of inevitability around Ole’s departure.

I think it’s a bit harsh to call the appointment of Solskjaer a disgrace a risky appointment yes but to be fair any new managerial appointment is a risk.

Appointing Pochettino who a few months ago was favourite to be appointed would have been just as big a risk taking him from an environment where it is good enough to get in the top 4 to Old Trafford where there is a requirement to win trophies and compete for the PL title would have been a risk and then there was Allegri who has never managed outside of Italy.

I’m not sure Solskjaer is the right appointment long term only time will tell but given the results under him arguably it would have been more of a disgrace if United didn’t give him a chance.

On the plus side he’s not a Manager who is looking to just put United on his CV or has moved there for a £15m pa salary he’s United through and through and genuinely cares about the Club so much so I suspect if it’s not working out he will be the first to hold up his hands and say it’s not working out and be prepared to walk and give someone else a go.

He deserves the chance though imo and if United get their buys right this Summer who knows where it might take them. They are the only Club that can spend massively without it impacting on FFP and that’s an enormous advantage.

To be clear Nine, it’s the timing of the appointment that is a disgrace. Ole could well be a massive success for the club. The run in will tell them a lot about him and it’s after the season where they would have been able to make an informed decision on him. Instead they’ve gambled on a manager who had a great honeymoon period.

That is hilariously poor judgment and it’s not the first time with this clown Woodward either.

Nine, agree completely. Calling it a disgrace is a bit of a stretch. He gave the board no choice but to make him number one contender for the job. The timing was a disgrace IMO for a club the size of Utd, but not the appointment itself. They’ve either massively shot themselves in the foot or stumbled upon a successful long term plan. A gamble they needn’t have taken yet. He was hardly going to go anywhere else however long Utd took to make a decision.

“A gamble they needn’t have taken yet. He was hardly going to go anywhere else however long Utd took to make a decision.”

Absolutely Ed that’s the only thing wrong with the appointment imo but I guess United were looking to get all their planning in place for the Summer re releases and Summer transfet targets.

Mak on that basis seemingly we are all in agreement.?

We are indeed 😉

The thing is, if 3 random fans on a forum can all come to the same conclusion, how has this alluded the Utd board/Woodward?

I mean, sure we have little to talk about because of the international break but they don’t need to go to such extremes just to keep us entertained 😛

It is Sean. They’ve suffered under Jose and the previous 2 managers. not just the fans but the players too, being restricted in their football. This is all the more reason to wait though. It isn’t often that you’d say a manager is holding the players creativity back, especially at the top. It was the case though. I don’t want to take away from Ole, he may have been an inspiration in the dressing room from day one but I think it’s fair to say that the extra good honeymoon period is at least partially due to Jose leaving.

Man Utd havent been Man Utd for a long long time and this spell is the first time since Fergie that they’ve looked at all like themselves. I think what we have from here on is the acid test for whether they can mount a title challenge next season. Their form so far is title challenging form but we’ve got to see how they can deal with the bumps in the road. There are so many journey based cliche’d metaphors available to me right now and that’s because the comparison is very solid, on multiple levels.

Let’s go back to when they got rid of Jose. They had 2 choices. Hire Ole on from the very start as full time manager, or give him until the end of the season and see how he does. now, they seem to think that there was a 3rd option in there and this tells me that the people making the choices are unaware of just how solid my previous comparison is. They are unaware of the journey and do not understand football, fundamentally. They may wander onto the right path and Ole might well be the man for them. It’ll be a fluke on their part though.

Apologies for the poor writing. As for the Utd fans here, carry on enjoying it. If you lads get back to smashing teams and finish strongly then I think you’ll be in the mix next season.

There’s always a bit of new Manager bounce no matter the team and Ole got that and a very kind initial run of fixtures when he took over, that great run of results and the galvanising of the Club across all parties meant it was difficult for United not to give him a chance.

Pochettino was going to cost United circa £40m to get out of Spurs and negotiating with Levy is never easy and then Pochettino came out with his 5/10 years to win a trophy quote which probably put the lid on him and how many other credible candidates were out there for a job this big very very few.

This is a marriage of convenience I’m not sure whether Ole will work out but there are no certainties with any new managerial appointment the big plus for Ole and United is that United more than any other PL Club have considerable funds to invest in the transfer market due to their significant revenues and profits over other Clubs and ultimately that with just a bit of sensible management might well make United a title challenger again next season even though Ole probably isn’t at the same level as Klopp and Pep.

But it’s definitely suck it and see for United imo despite the positivity that seems to be coming from the majority of United fans on social media which is understandable really given the fact that Ole is a Club legend but so were Kenny Dalglish and Robbie Di Matteo and ultimately it didn’t work out for them.
