Shows how bad the league was that year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All-English CL final though…
Ole was OK for me. Not great, not terrible. Until it all went wrong last season, he’d at least have us competitive in any given match, having a great record against Pep. I think he was mainly limited in terms of ideas to take us forward. We weren’t good to watch overall.

Ole was terrible, and it will take a quality manager 3-4 years to repair the damage he has done to this squad, time will tell if Ten Hag is the man.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was a terrible manager, bought all the wrong players, and still finished 2nd.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would rather we finished lower if it meant we had a team to complete at the top now.

Worse that year. Leicesterpool managed to win it
Yeah Tuchel performed a miracle in the second half of the season.
He was as bad as the rest of them. Difference is he’s left us in a bigger mess than any of the previous managers. Not all his fault, of course, but he needs to take a lot of responsibility for where we’ve found ourselves given he was at the club for three years and did nothing but erode the quality of the squad.

We're they all bad leagues when Fergie won, or Pep or Klopp, or is it only Ole who has such wonderful luck?

Saying it's a bad league is such a kop out, it's hard every year
Not all bad no. Sometimes they were. Not that it’s relevant, the league was poor which is why we finished in those positions, despite being poor ourselves. Helped not playing in front of fans as well. Whenever we did under Ole our record was crap because it’s a mentally weak team.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't really know how you can say we we poor when second, all the other sixteen teams must have been awful.
Though a lot of them still put in better performances than we did, even if they didn’t pick up points. I’ve never seen a team play as shiiiiiiit as we did on a regular basis win so many matches whilst second best. It was incredible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So… you’re saying Ole was an incredible manager?
Usually managers who finish 2nd or 3rd consolidate it with a cup. He didn't manage to do that in 3 seasons.
The thing is as I said in the OP is that Ole isn't a great manager, it was time for him to go.
But looking back it wasn't as bad as people make out. Third and second whatever caveats you use and a ropey final was far from dismal. And we knew how to fight back under him.

So would I. That doesn't alter the fact that people argue he was crap, argue that he bought crap and yet he still managed to get 2nd spot. It doesn't make sense
