Football has evolved. Gone are the days when the Manager was the sole determinant of a club’s performance. Now the manager/coach, footballing director and his team, scouts, transfer agents, commercial teams and CEO all have a stake and influence the outcomes.
Take last summer for instance. After signing Bruno in January, if we had gotten another good addition to our attack - a striker or attacking RW we would have been in a good position in the league - some of those draws could have been wins. While Man City given their form would probably still have won the league but it would’ve been a lot closer. In the champions league we would probably have crossed the group stages too.
That would have made it a fairly decent season for Ole. Allowing us to push on more in 2021. Not getting the right transfers done has impacted our season and Ole isn’t principally responsible for it. Yet will be castigated for it.
How are others being held accountable?

"What gives you the right to start abusing and questioning me?"
There's a soul searching question for a discussion board.
I haven't seen any abuse though. Is it just the questioning you don't like?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can accept people may not like me and that's fair enough but is calling me 'dickish' aka a d*ck head not a bit out of order and abusive?? No need for that I am just here to talk footie and I never abuse anyone, you can't deny that.

While Ole isn’t perfect he deserves credit for continuing to improve without adding any first team regulars in the summer.
I doubt any of Telles, Cavani and Donny were his first choice targets.

Guardiola has gone throughout the season without arguably the best striker to ever play in this league. You know what he did?? He coached his team, changed tactics, tweaked things to get his engine going again. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Oh please behave. If Ole had the £££ available to him that has been spent on Pep's team we would easily win the title.

Ed is the one who is at fault for us not pushing City all the way this season. Ole wanted Sancho and Ed made out like it was happening but he failed. That's not on OGS at all but people want to pretend it is. He hasn't been backed properly.

It's not always about how much you spend it's about how well you spend.
Klopp and Liverpool haven't had the Manchester clubs' luxury in terms of finances, yet Klopp has won both the league and CL.

Although I get little joy in watching us, Ole has done a good job so far no doubt. Ole is being castigate because our performances have not been up to scratch- most weeks these group of players hardly look like a proper team. Pundits up and down this country have called us a team full of "moments." Mostly Bruno Moments.

Ole hasn’t built the entire squad himself. If previous managers wasted money on signings who are still around - it is not down to him.
Mourinho fans on this board were ok with dull football and waxed lyrical when he achieved second place. Ole will probably achieve the same league position but it would be made to look like a disaster.
