KingAlabi:I think you should simply call yourself an ignoramus.

patrickmuf:So if your starting defenders are, Valencia(33 year old ex-winger) Smalling Jones Young(33 year old ex-winger) You would play cavalier like Liverpool and overpower teams with mediocre defenders? The quality of players at your disposal would determine your approach towards the games. United had the weakest team in the top 6 in 17/18 and Mourinho still managed to finish above Wenger, Klopp and Conte. No one said Jose was negative in Madrid when his team got 100 points, scoring 121 league goals in the process. He still holds the records of the highest points notched in Spain till today. So tell me why United didn’t get him the necessary tools needed to win? Pep outspent him, Pep spent more than £200m on his defence alone to challenge for the title while Mourinho was told to work with Smalling and Jones to win the league title. Man Utd is a joke. |
KingAlabi:Go and find the article and read it yourself if you doubt what I said. He said so many things but the most memorable shit he said was that he was pleased to have proven his doubters wrong. The man is a serpent. |
KingAlabi:He said no one predicted he would finish in the top 4 and such criticism makes him do better & that he is happy to have proven the critics wrong. Meanwhile, he told everyone 2nd isn’t an achievement for a club like United. He said not the players, the ex players or the fans would be happy for finishing 2nd when Jose was there. How can you not see this man is a snake? |

patrickmuf:Insulting the club or fighting for the fans? The truth is bitter - Jose said half of the Sevilla squad would play for Man Utd and he was laughed at. Some even mocked him. Few months later, Harry Maguire came from Leicester and captained the team. Daniel James came from Swansea(lower division) and got into the first team instantly. Was Mourinho right or wrong? Time has told he was absolutely correct. How the richest club in Britain is parading bums like Maguire, Bissaka, James and Lindelof in their team is a travesty. |
Leyqute:Who said he was sacked after finishing 81 points? Do you even read at all? I said he was criticized for finishing 81 points. Ole was even one of the morons that criticized him. Ole said finishing 2nd isn’t an achievement for a big club like United. Ole finished 3rd last season and he was beating his chest on camera that he has proven all his critics wrong. The same raccoon that said 2nd wasn’t an achievement. |
KingAlabi:That’s the point. He’s one of them. He gets no criticism at all. He’s ultra-protected. There’s always an excuse for his failure. It’s Pogba’s fault or Raiola’s fault. Pogba’s agent shooting his mouth is why the team lost to a Turkish club. When that fails, they blame the fans outrage on Twitter as causing disharmony at the club. It’s everyone else’s fault apart from the PE teacher. |
KingAlabi:Neville Owen Hargreaves Scholes Rio Andy Cole Only Roy Keane stood by him and said Mourinho needed time and Woodward should have signed the players Jose wanted. He finished 2nd albeit 19 points behind City. He asked for reinforcements and he was given Grant, Fred and Dalot. Woodward told him to develop Jones and Smalling into becoming Baresi and Maldini. |
KingAlabi:Winning the Europa league qualifies you for the CL. If you are not outrightly winning the PL, the team that finished second(without a trophy) and the one that finished 16th(with Europa league trophy) are the same. One could even argue the one that finished 16th had a better season. They celebrated winning a trophy. |
KingAlabi:Because he was hounded out by the so called ex players who felt United should be doing better with the squad they have got. They stupidly opined Jose should be doing better after finishing with 81 points - they concluded the negative football was the reason United didn’t win the league that season. Ole was signed and the weapon can’t even reach 70 points with his ultra modern, progressive and ultra attacking philosophy. |
KingAlabi:He won 3 trophies that season. ![]() |
KingAlabi:Jose had credits in the bank though. He finished 2nd, won Europa, won Carling cup, won the shield. Ole has what? � Ole can’t even get into a final. |
KingAlabi:I am not a Moyes fan boy - I already said he deserved the sack. However, keep the same energy for the PE teacher. If we agree Moyes deserved his sacking then Ole should be getting his P45 right now. |
KingAlabi:You mean the ship steadier lost to the same team you mock Jose for after spending £130m on defence? Wooooow! ![]() |
MRTA7:What’s the meaning of the first full season? Ole came in after only 17 games had been played. There were 63 points to play for when he arrived and he failed woefully to close the gap. United were 19 points behind first when Jose was sacked. United finished 32 points behind first after Ole took over. Progress? ![]() |
KingAlabi:So remind us what happened when Ole faced the same Sevilla in the semifinal of the Europa cup(a competition Jose won in his first season)? ![]() |
afrodoc2:The team Moyes inherited needed freshening up. Rio, Vidic, Evra were in the twilight of their career. Giggs and Scholes combined were 79 years of age. That’s half of the team gone. The transition process was also horrendous with David Gill leaving and installing a naive Ed Woodward as the CEO. Moyes was poor but the handling of his takeover could have been better. I have no doubt Moyes would have achieved more with the current squad than the rubbish Ole is serving week in week out. West Ham is a vastly inferior team to United but look at where they are on the table. |
KingAlabi:That’s a testament to how useless Ole is. Mourinho finished 19 points behind the champions in 17/18 and the pundits came after him that he was finished or football has left him behind. Ole finished 33 points below the champions last season and the same pundits are saying he’s steadied the ship. The cognitive dissonance is loud. |
afrodoc2:One finished 7th without a trophy and we all agreed he deserved to be sacked. Moyes hardly spent any money. Ole finished 6th, without a trophy and he deserves more time because of?? |
KingAlabi:United’s position when Jose was sacked = 6th Ole’s position after the 38th game = 6th What ship did he steady? United were in Europe when Jose was sacked, Ole threw it away. United got into FA cup competition and Ole lost it to Wolves. What ship did he steady? More like Ole crashed the ship into a huge iceberg. 2 years later, man can’t even win the lowest tier competition in the country. |
KingAlabi:After taking 6 points from City in the PL last season, there was no excuse for Ole to have lost that semifinal tie. City were terrible last season. The semifinal game this season was even more painful. Ole had an opportunity to start Bailly in that game and take the game to City, but he folded and started the Swedish lesbīan. City went a goal up, The FA gave both teams an opportunity to make 5 subs and Ole’s first sub came in the 75th minute. Stones scored their first goal in the 50th minute and Ole waited a whole 25 minutes to rescue the game. In total, Ole made 2 subs out of 5 available and there was Mata, Greenwood and James rotting on the bench. A one leg semifinal berth that he should have thrown everything at the game, Ole succumbed easily like a N30 whöre in Yaba. A hungry manager would have thrown all his attacking options at the match. Start removing defenders and adding more attackers. United were losing anyway and there was all to fight for. The worst that would have happened is to concede more goals, the best that could have happened is an equalizer. The risk was worth taking but the PE teacher bungled it. |
MRTA7:Moyes finished 7th without a trophy = Sacked! Ole finished 6th without a trophy = doesn’t deserve sacking? How? |
Lana1:There’s no shame losing to that Barca team. They had the better players and arguably the best team in the history of European football. United’s best player that year(Rooney) would struggle to get into that Barca side. SAF was powerless to stop Barcelona. It’s wholly different to losing to Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Sheffield United at Old Trafford. Are those teams better than Ole’s team? Giving the job of a manager to a PE teacher at the richest club in Britain is a ridiculous decision. Until Ole gets sacked, nothing will change. |
nitrogen:The difference between Pep and Ole is that Pep does not wait to develop players or wait for their improvement. They had Laporte, Stones, Ake and he still went all out to sign Ruben Dias. If Ole was at City, he would still be bent on improving Clichy, Sagna and Otamendi. A manager can’t keep saying he’s happy with his crap squad and expect funds from Woodward. nitrogen:Maguire is crap for £80m. If his transfer fee was like £40m, no one would care. Van Dijk was signed for £75m and he immediately made every defender at Liverpool look better. Maguire makes our defence look poor. AWB is the best one v one defender in the league but that is all there is to him. Once he crosses the half way line, he’s clueless. I think Ole’s only plan was to counter attack. Sign good tacklers who can win the ball and feed the pacy creative players. This is another reason he got Daniel James. |
nitrogen:The squad is shit but was worse under Mourinho. The manager is also crap. If Man United really want to win a trophy, they need quality investment and a manager with a winning mentality. There’s no way Ole will beat Pep & Klopp to a league title that runs for 38 games. |
eph12:A weapon is a tool. A stupid person. ![]() nitrogen:Pep Guardiola has spent close to £400m on his defence alone. If he buys a player and the player doesn’t deliver, he gets a replacement quickly. That is a manager that wants to win. Pep signed Bravo to replace Hart. Bravo messed up, Pep didn’t wait to ‘develop’ him because he is not a school principal. He binned him after 12 months and signed Ederson. It’s a winning mentality. Ole has spent £300m on the entire squad of which the overrated Maguire and the train wreck called Wan Bissaka are almost half of the entire total spent. It’s not enough, Mr. Nitrogen. |
nitrogen:How has the squad improved? Highest points reached: Jose 81-66 Ole Trophies won Jose 3-0 Ole Remember, Jose achieved this feat with Valencia, Jones, Smalling and Young. Ole has spent a further £150m on the defence and they have already conceded 27 league goals this season. In 17/18, Jose’s defence had two pensioners and two half wits but conceded only 28 PL goals throughout the season. If anything, Ole is underperforming with a much better squad than his predecessor. |
eph12:That’s because Woodward is a weapon. Jones, Lingard(until yesterday), Romero, Rojo, Grant, etc are all drawing massive wages from the club without really kicking the ball. Who renewed Jones’ contract? ![]() |
nitrogen:Shaw was shīt under LVG albeit he had injuries for large parts of Van Gaal’s reign. Shaw was crap under Jose - a 33 year old ex-winger was trusted in the role than Shaw. Shaw has also been rubbish since Ole arrived. There’s no shame in admitting Shaw is useless. We all wanted it to work out for him because of the horrible injury he had but that excuse has ran its course. nani6666:I won’t be surprised Sir Alex Ferguson wrote Ole’s coaching exams. |
nitrogen:The quality of the players is also a major issue. Luke Shaw whom most Olesexuals think has *improved a lot* has 8 PL assists in 7 seasons. Robertson had 12 PL assists alone last season. Trent on the other side of the pitch had 13 PL assists. United’s full backs’ combined PL assists last season was 4(all from Bissaka). How do you expect them to compete with such crap quality? |
nitrogen:What is their net spend? The richest club in Europe has a lower net spend than a newly promoted team and the fans are happy. ![]()
