Thanks 52, appreciate mate

Just read all that and realised it was part 2. Will it still make sense if I read part 1 now or will it spoil it?

FFS! Wait until you read my autobiography part 17

so, tell me, how much is Ole's contract worth then?

In terms of exact figures i wouldn't know. But i believe it will be less than your Pochs or Zidanes (prior to his Madrid job).

why?

Because the football market even for managers dictates that

It doesn't take a genius to work out what both managers have achieved in their respective football environments in comparison to what Ole has in Norway.

(Poch - league finishes/CL football)

you are just guessing

Im sure Ole (or his agent) made sure he wasn't short changed just because he is an ex player. He will be on a packet and it will cost millions to remove him under contract, just like the 3 previous clowns.

I haven't asked him

But in all seriousness it's obvious he will still be on a tidy sum, but it will still work out less than those two mentioned - due to those factors.

A very articulate and thorough article, and I think actually spot on. Man U were a top performing club under Sir Alex but have been in steady decline since his departure, riddled with some astonishing decisions on choice of manager and player acquisitions.

The future may bring some respite, but it’s some distance away now.

Good post, well thought out and put. I agree with some but not all.
Owners all have their reasons,
Abramovich, money laundering and becoming respectable imo. But also he does like football.
Mansoor, PR.
The Glazers are business people. We live in a capitalist society; there is nothing illegal, or even immoral in what they have done. I would have done it if I could.
They want to make money, but they are savvy enough to know we need to be successful.
I think they appointed Ole because they knew he would be popular, but then he passed his audition with flying colours, so they felt they had to give him the job. I doubt it was to save money.
I would like to see Gary Neville or VDS as DoF, to work as a team with the manager and the boards to follow a blueprint of what we all want.
To have plans for the stadium, training, youth set up, in fact everything. If you stand still you fall behind. It is harder here because there are a lot of rich ambitious clubs, we are only one of them.
We should look to our heritage for playing attacking football, promoting youth, but in a modern way.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

L40TL - I know that some of the things I mentioned may have been obvious to some. But I was just pointing out in more detail that an iconic establishment such as ours still miserably fail to correct that.

52 - Appreciate your input on this matter. It has been a long ride for me to endure. Now I understand that fans of older generations may believe that this is minuscule in comparison to some eras gone by. But this is on another level considering the value of such issues.

But I do agree on your points about how this club could go forward for the future.

Interesting analysis on another alternative as to why Ole was appointed and other club owners reasonings
