Ronaldo on ole team talk

Mon Nov 14, 2022 9:07 am

"I remember before one match, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn’t do a team talk in the dressing room. He just put on a video of his goal in the 1999 Champions League final. We lost 5-0.” :lol: shit manager.

he didn't like confrontation, Mcnaughton said several times to us, that Ole would wait until players where working out, on the bench press, mid workout, come over and say you're dropped for the weekend, and be gone by the time the players went to question it. and in the canteen, when players where getting their food, he'd just walk up and say you're not playing

He sounds like a coward.

I also think he was being told who to play from upstairs aswell, as Ben Turner said, the squad would get announced in the week, and then all of a sudden it would change, players who had played well, would be dropped for someone else. he sounds like someone who had no backbone

I remember the ST marketing campaign when he joined was "Join the RevOLEution!" And Helmet Madman saying he felt like he was the cat that got the cream. That turned out well

I think OGS used the “Tan is picking the side” as an excuse so he didn’t have front up.

We’ve had some c;:p managers over the years but he was up there with the worst !! Clueless, spineless, frivolous and useless who wouldn’t even stand by his decisions.

Some of his signings and the way he treated players (e.g. Hudson, Cala, etc.) was embarrassing.

it wasn't Ole saying someone else was picking the squad, it was players who said they think someone else was, Ben Turner i'm sure it was on Undr the Cosh, said, the lads would play brilliant, and then all week work on shape and formation and then the day before the game, it would be, oh yeah, your now out of squad and Cala is playing instead of you, or this lad is playing instead now.
