Personally I think the timing of Maureen's sacking was no coincidence. Utd current run of games was always going to be favourable to a new manager and hopefully get him off to a good start.
I think that following the Anfield debacle, they thought the time was right and the run of games favoured someone like Solskjaer who is not a big name but had a feel good factor about him. We probably did their team a favour by crushing them, We gave them the balls to get rid of a manager that taking the club in the wrong direction.
When Giggs took over from Moyes and LvG was appointed he was obliged to make Giggs his assistant and when LvG got the boot Giggs hoped to get the job but it didn't happen, Mourinho offered him a lesser role but Giggs left. Got a feeling if OGS doesn't get it permanently the new manager will have to agree to making him assistant and also keeping Phelan in his current role. Moyes dismantled Man U when he got rid of the tried and trusted backroom team Fergie had, can't see them making the same mistake again, but I sincerely hope they do.
We should be careful about what we wish for. Would it be a major surprise if Solskjaer is merely a front for someone else? that the man pulling the real strings behind the scene is no other than a man whose name starts with F and who has recently started attending their training sessions? What if this F had insisted that Solskjaer is appointed so that they can work as a double act? What if the 4 wins were the product of F not OGS? This is too far fetched even as a fictional story...
Look I said at the time ud had 6 out of 7 easy fixtures. they've won 4 so far. Reading next (piss easy) Then spurs... thats the real test then brighton (no trouble) After that it keeps flowing then burnely (piss easy) The leicester away... not the hardest but the best non top 4 side they face) Then fulham (piss easy) THEN is CL time and PSG Then its LFC at old trafford So while its all great i just want to point the following table out again. This was snap shot after 17 games This is today This tells me: a) spurs position isn't as impressive as they make out b) All utd have done is cruised up behind cheslea and arsenal playing **** teams. Seriously.... Utd have had a great time but guess what, everyone in the top 6 have been beating those sides. I don't even want to know about a side with the talent utd have beating those types of sides (rashford, pogba, martial all having field day) Lets see Spurs v utd game on the 13th and then rationally look at where utd are relative to the top 4.
I agree. An ultra defensive Newcastle posed them some problems yesterday. Let's see what happens when teams can create chances AND finish them! Truth is that given the attacking players that they have, they should quickly recover if those same players take instruction.
We haven't actually played any of OGS's 4 fixtures. 3 of them are our games 35, 36, and 37. In the reverse fixtures we took 12 points, scored 13, and conceded 1
#bbcsalford hysteria update: Solskjaer is now being compared to Busby and the campaign to make him permanent is a bigger headline than our game against City
