Someone's having a real laugh - sperm of gollum to Utd.

[Guest]

The mighty...Simon Jordan?

 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is “not the right boss” for Manchester United to become a Premier League giant again, according to former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan.

 

United suffered their first defeat of the season on Saturday when Palace stunned them at Old Trafford, with Jordan Ayew and Patrick van Aanholt’s last-minute winner sandwiching a Daniel James strike for the home side.

 

The loss came on the back of a 1-1 draw with Wolves last Monday, and also saw a second penalty failed to be converted in successive games – as Marcus Rashford saw his spot-kick hit the post.

 

And Jordan believes that the Eagles won the game because they didn’t fear United – unlike in the days of former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

 

“Because it’s Manchester United, we’ve watched all of their games because there is more focus on Manchester United,” Jordan told TalkSPORT.

 

“On one hand you could say, two penalties put Manchester United five points better off so we would have a different look at Man United because they would be second.

 

“But if you look at the manner in which Man United are playing, I’m sorry because I know Man United fans will start yelling and screaming, but up to 60 minutes against Chelsea they were getting bossed.

 

 

“Chelsea were the better side in that game by a long way and nobody could see anybody other than Chelsea scoring goals. Now conventional wisdom was defied, Sam Allardyce got made to look a fool on the touchline as we did sitting here and Chelsea capitulated.

 

“But anyone else other than Chelsea on that day, of that sort of perceived stature, wouldn’t have capitulated and I don’t think Man United would have won that game.

 

“With respect, Palace got very, very lucky yesterday and Roy [Hodgson] talked about ‘riding their luck’ and ultimately pulling a result out of nowhere.

 

“But looking at that performance; there is no fear factor, nobody cares about Old Trafford in way they once did because that image is gone.

 

“And I don’t think it is going to come back under the stewardship of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer because part of that image, as we know, was best players winning games.

 

“But also, there was this figure at the very head of Manchester United as a football operation, which was [Sir Alex] Ferguson.

 

“Are you seriously saying to me that the serious times of Man United, with Liverpool and Man City disappearing into the horizon, that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going to operate at the level that is required? I don’t think so!”

I think Jordan's being very harsh on the former Molde supremo there. All he needs is time. Loads of it.

Like you I'm outraged.

 

Give Ole time. He needs to be given a proper chance. I hate all this "not good enough" nonsense.

It’s quite obvious that they’re potential title contenders, and I maintain that they’re poised to clean up if the top two have an off-season. It would be a monumental act of self-harm by Manchester United to part ways with Sir Alex's true successor.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Oles at the wheel. Then give the wheel to gigs for a while. Then to Rio. Then finally, maybe Scholes wants a pop at managing them in the 4th division.

[Jairzinho]

Pogba should be made player manager.

[Harry Squatter]

I think Steve Bruce proved himself on Sunday that he can get results against the top 6. 

[TheDrowningMan]

I suppose Mike Phelan would be a safe pair of hands in the event Solskjaer really was unable to continue. Worked with Ferguson for many of the glory years, and would surely deserve at least a season to step out of Ole's shadow and prove his worth.

To be fair they've tried a number of managerial strategies:

 

Up and coming british manager. Failed spectacularly.

 

Experienced European old head. Failed.

 

Incredibly successful, short term high reward manager. Two trophies but still miles off challenging when his predicted 3 year tenure fell to bits.

 

Fans favourite ex-player. Soon to be filed next to David Moyes.

Shut up Jordan, you Poundland Peter Stringfellow. He’s the perfect man for the job and must be given all the time he needs to implement and cement his methods at root and branch.

[Harry Squatter]

The lack of respect shown to the Old Trafford legend is disappointing. He should be given at least six seasons like they were going to give David Moyes. The club need to stick by him, after all Swur Alex took seven years to win anything.

MANCHESTER UNITED DO NOT SACK MANAGERS who are winning things THEY ARE A PROPER CLUB BUILT ON TRADITION. SACKING MANAGERS IS FOR OTHER, LESSER CLUBS.

Nice for Martin Kelly on Saturday. I used to work with his mum, apparently he’s still a Liverpool fan

This.

 

Have you read his book though? Its actually brilliant. 

[Dr Nowt]

 

Neville’s giggling fan-girl routine and “Ole’s” inspired tactical acumen in this will only get funnier and funnier.

[Dr Nowt]

Neville: How do you bring them down after that tonight?

Goblin: Hold my beer.

[Josef Svejk]

A shocking interview that. Total lack of professionalism.

[Dr Nowt]

Remember seeing it that night and mentally bookmarking it for a few months hence.

I don't even know where to start with that if I'm honest.

Leave the cunt in charge its hilarious watching them implode  especially slur watching on helpless. This is his own worst nightmare coming through. Long may it continue. 

His dreams for the club gone.
