Solskjaer is out if his depth

Thu Jul 24, 2014 7:09 am

Plenty of money from our owners,yet I feel Solskjaer does not know what he is doing and nor does he.
We got good players,yet a struggling season ahead of us. I keep thinking back to last season and reading his latest interviews.
Might be sacked by Christmas.

Anyone who thinks the club will storm the championship clearly doesn't know their football

What a load of rubbish, Ole will storm the championship,best squad in the league and best forwards outside the Premier league.
We give the best wages and have now got the best team outside the Premier League :ole: :ole: :ole:
Dead wood gone :ole:


DEAD WOOD GONE????

There's enough there to make a new series of AX MEN!! :D

I suppose you could count Tommy Smith & Simon Lappin & possibly Andrew Taylor dead wood but I think he's a bit delusional if he thinks we're going to storm the league.
Positive post though!

I really want Solskjaer to do well with us. Seems like a top bloke and wants to play football the right way. I don't know if we can. However, this does have a similar feel to when Jean Tigana was managing Fulham in the Championship. I think we could well do well despite any tactical inferiority because of our goal power. We shall see though! I want him to succeed, first and foremost. I'm not 100% confident he will mind.

I will be more comfortable once we have an experienced defender as i think that is all that is missing

I feel the same, not just being a Cardiff fan I obviously want them to do well but this is a defining season for Ole. If he gets it right he could be on his way to a becoming a top manager and take us on a journey with him but on the flip side of that if we not in top half at christmas I think he might be gone

Someone like Warnock would have no problem taking this team up

How do you know we've got a struggling season ahead. Give the bloke a chance and see what happens. He's learnt most of what he knows from a pretty good teacher, and I think we will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season. May take a few games for the team to gel, but lets see where we are around xmas time.

Just one defender? Sorry,,,but i think we are missing at least two good defenders, one decent centre back, & a creative midfielder. Squads not good enough as things stands, mid table ( if were lucky) beckons!

Fu..me annis you make me :lol: :lol: :lol:
Last year Malky must be given the whole season
This year ole gets only if results are going our way straight away
Last year you kept bleeding on about our debt
Now your demanding signings
I suppose you will never be happy with ole unless we are winning every game
I suppose you want our debt to go down and bring in players using Monopoly money ?
You want tan out at all costs you want him to take ole with him
Probably be happy then to bring milky back and Sam fund our existence with loan notes at what ever interest
I'm still ;) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: at how you look at things :bluescarf: :ole:

mid table?cant see why we'd be worse as we have a better squad than the one that took us up. im not saying we'll finish top but top 6 i think

Maybe if you lot gave him a chance...

If you're going by the result on Tuesday then you know jack shit about football.

Sorry to break it to you, but the days when your golden boy Malky Mackay was our manager are long gone.

Who knows how the season is going to go.Managing in the premiership is different to the championship as many managers have found out.At most clubs its about man management with all the foriegn stars, but at championship level you can affect results with good tactics, coaching and work ethic.Ole is our manager, lets get behind him and the players and see where it takes us, and for gods sake if we lose a few games early on lets not get on his and the players backs and create more pressure for them. :ayatollah:

Rubbish. Ole knows his football as a manager[code][/code].
Lest hope all the fans this year will support our manager and the team.

I thought we won the Championship with a team which was nowhere near the quality we have at the moment. Malky played a style of football which wasn't very pretty but ground out results. The team we have at the moment can play football and on their day will demolish any other team in the Championship. If we can get Fonte or a similar defender this team has the potential to piss this league....as long as Ole plays the right tactics for each individual game. I would hate to see us go back to Malky's boring 4-5-1 tactics.
