[@coldstolen8666]

@@Footie4ever It is Ole's fault to keep playing an underperforming player because of favouritism. Not wanting what is best for the club but instead what self-preserves the foundations he set when he came in by explaining how he was the ideal player for Man United. The fact of the matter is that the jury was out on Maguire since 2020 and he kept trying to "Hope" he'd prove people wrong. There was no objective match analysis or systematic logic to why he wasn't dropped. United needed ball-playing centre backs for the convoluted system Ole was playing against lower-level teams and he kept picking a slow slug that's uncomfortable on the ball to play a high-line. He's escaped red cards before and is one of the most booked players in United's team because he didn't suit the way he was playing. Ole was out of his depth for signing Maguire but he never wanted to make it look like he wasted 80m.

[@jimabrahamguillaume3301]

@@unyambala Nah you're speaking bollocks. After they bought the club, The club has only downgraded every year. It was going good until 2013 because of Sir Alex and David gill who were influential. Once they left, Ed woodward became the main man for everything including transfers etc. And he had no clue. He's still here. United won't improve until they sell the club because top to bottom, they have their own people in the club's key roles and none of them have a clue about football.

[@coldstolen8666]

The board is a problem but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was a bigger problem. The Glazers and United board actually backed OGS more than previous managers. The problem is that OGS was the wrong man to give these funds if you do a background check on his stint at Cardiff. Ole is notorious for spending lots of money and wasting it i.e. signing players and not using them. LVG and Mourinho got 3rd/4th choice players, whereas Ole got 1st and 2nd choice players in his stint bar Ighalo/Haaland. The Glazers cannot be blamed for Ole's failure because he was already a failure to begin with. The Glazers can however be blamed for the failure of LVG and Mourinho. But Mourinho was already deteriorating since his final stint at Chelsea and lacked the tactical flexibility to play another way than what he was doing decades ago. He was going out like Wenger. The fact of the matter is we still haven't seen a truly great, in-prime manager manage United post-SAF yet. That I'm speaking the types of Klopp/Pep/Tuchel, or the tier below like Ten Hag, Nagelsmann, Poch, etc. that are most definitely not washed yet when you consider the age and level they're playing at.

[@shadabahmed579]

waiting for this the whole day. thanks craig

Next chapter for Ole: go to Malmo, see if you can turn the largest Scandinavian football club, into something that can at least compete in Europe a little. They keep ending up 4th in the UCL group stages every year, with 0 to 2 points out of 6 matches. I wanna see Ole go to Malmo and do something special with them.

[@cbscboys8784]

Or even a club like young boys

[@NapoleonSolo452]

Very, very well said, Craig!

[@itoroekpo5798]

“He’s had his teammates masquerading as pundits” 😂😂😂 Craig Burley SPOT-ON. A football club isn’t built around the manager being a nice guy. Olé should never have been made manager. He had and still has NO CREDENTIALS.

[@ssvtick5974]

Burley for MANUTD manager. He understands Manutd than most of the fans.

[@mahmoudfathy2074]

Some fans think Ole finishing second last year was an improvement ! It was a one horse race , LFC was traumatized by injuries, Tottenham just fell badly, Chelsea changed management. All those factors made Ole comfortable in his place. Ole didn't even give city a hard time competing, how this can be an improvement. If LFC wasn't plagued by injuries it would have been a two horse race in which Ole would have ended third then probably sacked. How couldn't the supporters see that !

[@edislettuce4218]

Craig Burley never said United sucked, he just said Ole was simply not for the job and that United could do better that is what EVERY fan of football thought as well too, and the ones that were backing him up were United fans who only wanted him to stay cause he was a "legend" for United, he was a great player that is without question, but just like how Lampard was a great player and how Gerrard was a great player, it takes time to be a good manager, but honestly best of luck to Ole, maybe one day he returns to manage a team in the future

[@aaronjoseph9971]

You literally cannot be more spot on than Craig here.

[@user-mw8um6mc3v]

Craig is spot on in EVERYTHING he says. Some of us with half a football IQ were stunned and desperate he got the job. We knew what was gonna happen. The idiots behind the scenes at Man United are destroying the club and that INCLUDES Ferguson.

[@HermSezPlayToWin]

Ole was given every chance to be successful and many more chances than any other manager at a big club. He didn't know what he was doing and just wasn't good enough to learn on the job. When looking at the performances on the pitch in the last matches, one can rightly ask the question if the team was even being coached at all. That's how bad it got. Sad spectacle to see a proud club fail so hard, and I'm not even a fan of theirs.
