No, but he's a lot more likeable and will play attacking football. He's the polar opposite to Mourinho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in a way did it matter at all who they hired for the rest of the season? It could impact on players wanting to stay/leave in January. Also Man Utd are still in the champions league and while very unlikely they will win it, knockout football can on occasion result in unlikely winners.

I would say this is one of the major reasons. players are only having there 12 months extensions triggered, rather than signing long term contracts (De gea, martial).

Yeah I suppose I already counted them out of that but anything could happen. Only point I was making is theres not much of an expectaton for Ole now is there? Just to bring some excitement to the club it'd take some major issues to fall out the top 6 and a super human feat to get up to 4th so seems like a sensible bet to go with a club hero?

It would be embarrassing for him to tell Utd to fuck off twice. De Gea more important. Martial too. There was an exodus with Moyes with a few of the players hinting they may not have agreed to leave has Moyes been sacked earlier. Granted a few of them were at the age to move on anyway but for players like Vidic, Rio, Evra it was a season too early. Certainly not great for all of them to leave at the same time. Defo something to avoid again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 1 hour ago, The Nal said: Not to my knowledge. Nor has a club announced an interim manager for 48 hours, then an interim manager until the end of the season and then a permanent manager, all in the same statement. Happy enough with Ole. Should get the team trying at least and playing attacking football. This Pogba post thing seems to have blown up out of proportion. Surprised it's allowed to be honest.

Anything to do with his relationship with Hughes? Probably not, you’d suspect more to do with Arnoutovic (and his brother) but I don’t know. From interviews it appears as though Hughes hasn’t lost any of his ‘spark’... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jyoung Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Beautiful stuff by Kane + Alli for the second Spurs goal... Don't condone this sort of thing either but the second vid really shows that is some aim from whoever threw it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the recent real Madrid champions league winners have been relatively average. There have been plenty of mediocre champions league winners in the past and there will in the future. The trouble with Ole is if they over perform there could be pressure to give him the job. It may work, but he could be the next Craig Shakespeare or Di Matteo.

pink_triangle Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Has anyone seen the Sunderland documentary on Netflix. As with most of these documentaries it is much more interesting watching a club where everything is going wrong, as opposed to one winning all the time!
