We haven't done much better since he's left. Sadly, people with agendas on this board will continue their irrational hate of the man.

No one hates the guy. But he’s just not a very good manager. Sorry if that triggers you.

That’s the line for the Samaritans if you need it buddy 🤌

You've memorised the line for the Samaritans, eh? You must use it often. Don't worry, we aren't all soy boys like you. Stick to movies. At least then you know what you're talking about.

‘Soy boys’

Oh, you’re an Andrew Tate fan. Good luck with that. I should have given you the number for professional therapy instead.

Cuz you’re recruitment lot saw his agent was mini raiola and decided they didn’t fancy it?

He does also mention that he was limited to 3 big singing a summer which seems a bit stupid if the fees are different each time. Also some seasons he clearly didn’t get 3 big signings.

"I told the players it was probably going to be the last time we worked together and to play with pride. We almost turned it around, until Harry Maguire got sent off."

This was a good quote from the interview I posted on another article.

Didn’t we sign six players in that crap window of 2020 as well?

He was allowed three non youth signings on a budget of 80m plus sales I guess?

Andrew Tate isn't the only one to use that term (internet slang does spread). Should I then also assume you have had the need of those services in the past? What did you need professional help for? Maybe you should call them again as you're upset.

Very insightful interview, players thinking they are better than they are and not wanting the captaincy, doing their own things and not running for the team. It all sounds too familiar!

I’m upset that a grown man used the term ‘soy boys’. Even Stretty cringed at that.

No direction from those above. It's odd that they were getting Ralf in and then fired Ole and didn't go through with what they planned to do with Ralf.

Ralf was never a top manager though. It's what he did behind the scenes where he excelled at. I never understood why we kept him as a care taker manager when he was never meant to be that in the first place.

Tbut his assessment of the club was spot on

I do wonder what would have changed had Ralf been kept on as consultant? I get EtH wanted a clean slate but so far he hasn’t really shown he has great knowledge when it comes to recruitment.

We probably wouldn’t have spunked a huge amount on Mount and Hojberg

Answering to you both, I don’t think the environment would’ve been right for Ralf even in the background.

He basically said so himself

There is a preference for those who played in the Dutch league in some shape or form with majority of his signings.

I think that's as damning as you're going to get from Ole.

He knows it's rotten and I think the sub-context there says as much.

Poor hojlund, his development would probably be stunted because of this move.

It’s just disappointing he’s such a sellout when it comes to the Glazers. He could be more scathing.

I think this is true. He wasn't given the reigns as he was at his previous clubs. Would have been a risk for United but we're pretty much Stich because people don't want to give up power within our structure.

Ole seems to be very open and honest and accepts that he made mistakes. One thing though, disappointed he didn’t have anything bad to say about the Glazers or Woodward, maybe he’s just not that sort of bloke but they need to be called out more by those close to the club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is why managers tend to be "mutually consented," rather than sacked now. You can be sure there was some sort of agreement in place that prevents Ole from speaking out against the ownership, lest he be hit hard financially.

Who do people think was Ole’s best signing?

Probably Varane.
