Yeah, he came in when they were on a low ebb and changed the atmosphere and attitude, but when he had to do the whole campaign, he was found wanting. As to the CL, I hope you go further, as the more games you play the tireder you will be when we play you, we're aiming for that last Euro spot so I can go on holiday to watch us get humiliated by Maltese part-timers. Good luck to OSG, he almost makes you lot likeable, almost.
So, in typical Woodward style, United pointlessly **** it up again by needlessly announcing Solskjaer as permanent manager before the season ends. Bravo Woody.
It's possible that it is a move envisaged to entice a player or two to sign a new contract and/or sign in the summer. But yeah, probably it's just a pointless announcement that now means if results go pear-shaped in the next few weeks instead of people saying how he's still done a good job as caretaker manager overall they'll point to how he shouldn't have the permanent job. Fun.
Exactly this. See the season out, and then announce it. If we don't qualify for the CL the british media will be all over him.
Even so, the pressure is now on to get top four and/or win the CL. If he does neither, they will be on to him. United fans are fine wit it, I personally just think it's been rushed for no reason.
Interesting to see how this goes. He has been excellent for United but the real hard work starts now. When they have a wobble how will he and his team react and will the media be quick to put the boot in?
Disagree, I think it’s good timing to do it now. We can start working on transfers and also it should give the lads a little boost til the end of the season.
Poch will be furious I reckon he will quit Spurs by the end of the day for not letting his dream move to United happen
He’ll probably deny the links now, funny how he never denied them last time he was asked eh? Waiting for a better offer but his stock has plummeted in the interim. It wouldn’t surprise me if you lot sack him next season tbh.
He can work on the transfers anyway, I just think this adds pressure to actually get top four, needlessly. We've just lost two on the bounce, if we don't beat Watford then lose to Barca the media will ramp it up. Could go the other way of course. But then they could have waited to find out.
Top 4 is a bonus imo, if we get it then great. We had no right to be in the mix before he turned up. Transfer targets need to know who they’ll be playing for. End of the season makes no sense on that front.
