Ole gunner Solskjaer thoughts?


Not sure he'd do particularly well for you. He wouldn't have the knowledge of players to suit where you are now. Think he failed at Cardiff for that reason.
Was different for him at United, he was fishing in a better known premier league market. He bought players to do the job he wanted for the style he wanted them to play. A lot of his signings at United have been ridiculed by subsequent managers who want to play a different way but they were right for what Ole wanted to do. If you want to play a high line defensive pressing game you don't buy Maguire but for the deep sitting counter attacking style he wanted he did a good job. Similarly if you want a good attacking full back you don't buy Wan Bissaka who gets a nosebleed if he crosses the halfway line, but if you're buying a full back to defend he's one of the best one on one full backs in the league.

Think he's probably better suited a club where he can surround himself with good coaches but he's unlikely to get that kind of opportunity again. His time is probably done.
Well going by that he is not right for us.
1) He won’t get to choose what players he brings in, he would be a coach not a Manager
2) He cannot surround himself with good coaches, he gets Dodds and Proctor and that’s it
 
Got the shitshow that was Man Utd to 2nd place in the EPL whilst managing to go over a calendar year without losing away from home to anybody.
Not given nearly enough credit for the job he did. Only really started to go to ratshit for him after Woodward insisted on bringing Ronaldo back for commercial reasons instead of a younger striker.
Time may show that his coaches like McKenna & Carrick played a big part in that but he's an easy target for the know nowts to laugh at despite doing a job at least as good as, if not better than Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Rangnick & Ten Hag.
I think he did a decent job at United as a manager but not really a coaching manager. Then again even Fergie relied on his coaches like Kidd, McClaren, Querioz, Meleunstein etc to do much of it just like Ole did with McKenna & Carrick.
I always like reading your knowledgeable views on United.

What a disaster Woodward was.

Edit: for the football team, not the Glaziers.
