At United I think he's caught between two stools. He wants us to be progressive and forward looking but he just can't get them to play like that.

--------------------

Given he has been there nearly 3 years, I would say that isn't being caught between two stools rather than not coaching/building the squad well enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The second part of your sentence I agree with. The reason I say caught between two stools is that he wants to play good, entertaining football but he can't get it right. I've a feeling he thinks the best way to get results is through being pragmatic (McFred) but that he's now reached the point, three years in, where he feels he can't still do that. He should be doing better by now though than the pragmatic approach. That is where he will ultimately fail. It's much easier to set up a team to defend deep, with numbers, and then hit on the break/get a set-piece goal than to proactively play proper risk/reward football. That's why I wouldn't be that surprised to beat Liverpool on Sunday but, if that did happen, it's very probable it wouldn't be by going toe to toe.

Are you saying it's time to put him out to pasteur?

OGS won't leave United. He'll just be moved upstairs to be the Director of Football in a more official, full time capacity.

G Nev will take over as manager, finally having the guts to do so after years sniping away from the comfort of a TV studio. He'll then leave by mutual consent 4 months later with United in and around the relegation zone.

OGS will then take over on a caretaker basis until the end of the season whilst a search for the new manager goes on. OGS's return sees an upturn in form, seeing us finish in the Europa spots and being losing finalists in the FA Cup.

No new manager is found, so OGS takes over as manager on a full time basis.

Google's better, the answer to everything you search isn't 'Conte'

You’re a good poster so I’ll allow it blud

I would like to see Ole involved with our recruitment team, maybe a job awaits as Asst DOF.

JH - I was about to post a similar comment about Ole getting kicked upstairs to DoF. He has built a good squad and he's got rid of the poison. Would he accept that? I would hope so. But we'd better have a real top head coach if we are to do this. Cheers.
