In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Why would he be considered? He's not very good. If he had no association with United none of you would champion the idea of hiring a manager of Mold and Cardiff, and if he was hired by Everton people would laugh.
Agreed, he gets way too harsh a rap in my opinion. I think he'd do well at a middling sort of club who showed some patience.
I always found it uncomfortable how he was constantly slapped with the Physical Education Instructor shite while thr likes of Lamps and Arteta did equally bad if not worse yet were given way more leeway.
I think he'd do well to stay away from managing in England, for the foreseeable at least.
Yep, just like we all knew Carrick and McKenna were the problems.
Are we back to claiming abuse at every criticism? Come on now have some self respect
yeah I’m struggling with the lack of common sense being applied here. Ole finished top 4 back to back, 3rd and 2nd.
Am I missing something here?
No, his biggest failing is actually implementing what he says.
This isn't a serious question, because you already know the answer. He isn't good enough plain and simple, he was awful with Cardiff and quite frankly he was awful here except purple patches. He should be managing in the lower leagues in England and build himself up
@Rhyme Animal what are these many managerial openings? Relegation dogfights at Watford or Everton?
Can’t help but feel you’ve just created a loaded thread to have another dig at the bloke. He’s a United legend so no idea why.

Not the only ones, but yes.
Given you're the biggest club in the country I'd argue he got it incredibly easy compared to what he would have got by the media and especially fans at your equivalents on the continent (Juve, Bayern and especially Real).
Your fanbase especially showed incredible patience all things considered.
OLE is probably waiting for the Norway job!
Surely the OP knows why, and is looking to start some sort of Ole civil war where everyone's at each others throats.
There's no interest because he's utter shite.
And to top it all off, the players that he does trust, he runs into the ground.
That's why.

- He wastes money - Maguire and Wan Bissaka
- He doesn't coach - he's acknowledged this himself. He leaves the coaching to others.
- He's unable to turn things around when things go south - was never able to get on top of things and address our weaknesses from set-pieces
- Doesn't develop players - Dalot now looks a serious player. How many players actually improved under him?

Misleading. He need a whole new XI to compete.
Maybe this should just be merged into the Solskjaer's legacy thread, if it's still open, given we're going round and round that old ground in circles.
If you had been managing United for a few years and were let go after seeing your dreams crushed, would you really take another random PL job a few months later? C'mon.
He's probably not pushing particularly hard to get any of these jobs.

It's just too early I think
Read above. He spent a fecking fortune on an already ridiculously expensive squad. Nothing in his time with us suggested he knew how to build a team outside of scattergun spending, and nobody outside Russia/Israel/wherever he's hiding now could or would support that.
City and Liverpool could give him a squad to get top 4, but they expect more.
Chelsea would actually be a fit, and Lampard was basically their Ole.
None of the other top 4 challengers could give him the money he would need, and without that money he would be nowhere near other managers.
I'm sure some PL teams will be chomping at the bit to install "the United way" at their club?
On a nicer note, I reckon he will manage a mid-table club in the future again.

He will be back in the pl at one point, but not yet.
Derby did better and went farther into the playoffs without Lampard before he was manager. Ole did far, far better at United than Lampard did will Chelsea.
I'd say Ole is a better manager that Lampard.
Good shout. He's better than Solbakken and would finally get to coach Haaland.
Manchester United spent a fortune on transfers, not Ole. Unless you think Ole himself did all the scouting, all the negotiating, and has the only say in transfers.
That’s on top of a team already worth around 800M and that finished second the year prior to his appointment.
And as it stands right now with around 6-7 players on the verge of leaving and midfield badly neglected.
There is no evidence he has left anything but a toxic dressing room and massive investment still needed.
The concern trolling is beyond obvious.
Do people seriously think any team will risk alienating their fanbase to further risk on an unproven manager?
Speaking of things that are not true they were 17th not 18th as you claim but of course that is splitting hairs and as I mentioned before I am not claiming Ole is some great managerial mind. I do think the context is frequently ignored when his time at Cardiff is discussed however specifically with the timing of his sacking. 17th sounds terrible but they were 7 games into the season which is hardly representative of how the final table will look and even after his departure only managed to finish in 11th. He managed them for a total of 30 games including cups which amounts to just over half a season in total. The biggest issue he had at Cardiff was naivete, he was trying to completely change the style of play to something more akin to his own experience at United and for a team like Cardiff that is a process that would take years, not a matter of months.
A move by his right arm perhaps.
Ole's a good manager, and will land on his feet in some guise around Europe.
Lampard will get linked with most vacant PL jobs mainly because he's English and a media darling.

This is such a wum threadGet to coach Haaland again you mean, he had him at Molde.
