On paper maybe actually.

We’ve had good windows on paper.

Jose signed Pogba, Zlatan, Mkhi and Bailly in his first summer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't agree tbh. I don't see that as a good window myself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I think the point was that it looked like one before the season started. Zlatan was great, to be fair.

So we should win every game unless you deem the other squad to be superior?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, no. But you can't say a manager hasn’t been backed in such a case—like what we've just been discussing. What are you like Postie?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
? Where has that been part of any point I've made? (apart from the one asking what you mean by backed)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You said he was backed in the cups (excluding CL), to which I agreed.

You then responded by asking if we should beat every team with an inferior squad.

To which I said no, but you can't point to a lack of backing in such games.

Hope this helps.

I think you're tying yourself up in knots here (again). The whole backing thing was a question/response to your snide little dig at RB&W. Hope this helps

You tend to talk about people reaching their ceiling when they've plateaud for a few seasons and aren't improving any more.

As that hasnt happened, you're just assuming, or hoping, that Ole's reached his ceiling.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We all have our opinions. Mine is based on his management skills.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whilst the rest of us judge him on his knitting skills.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
😂😂😂

I thought rdd took some beating but...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just mental these two. I've never met a United fan like them in real life.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure N2 is a United fan.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't think either of them are.

I think it's because United fans support United and all who sail in her, unless they start opening the bilges to let the ship sink. Ole isn't doing that, and hasn't done since he came. So we support him like a um er a supporter.

I think I'll have a rum now after that seafaring analogy

Well, you can support players without thinking they're that great or could be upgraded. Same thing really.

Exactly, it’s like supporting the team by calling for the manager’s head every given opportunity.

I've barely called for his head, just criticised some things. Is that not allowed?

Of course it’s allowed, you’re allowed to do it as often as you please, as are others

Even if you haven't always called for his head, at least not every time, you've hardly supported him. In his two full seasons he's finished third then second. Our youth team seems to be filling up with talent. In general he seems to have the backing of the players and the board. Plus he seems a nice guy, and he's one of us.
People can think what they want, criticise who they want.
But for me, as a fan, it's Olé Olé Ole

Well I did support him at first. But then the football got worse, and his weaknesses showed up.

I support the team and whoever is in it, but if changes need to be made, then so be it.

If there’s no improvement this season, and by improvement I mean a title challenge or a trophy of some kind then I don’t think the manager could feel too aggrieved is his services were dispensed with, he’s had time to mould his team and sign the players he wants, big season for Ole this one

I said before he's probably let down by his coaches. So at least he brought in a new one.

I look forward to the window closing and the 'what should we expect from Ole and the squad this season' thread.

posted on 29/7/21

I expect there'll be another 'no excuses now' nonsense, as some halfwit insists that the title must be won as the club's spent a few bob.

i wonder if the #Olein lot will be brave enough to give their opinion on realistic expectations for the season. I doubt it.

What are you on about you complete buffoon.Ole IS in. For the next few years. The #Olein lot are called Manchester United supporters. What about you?

And there was a thread about next season's expectations only a couple of days ago. The general concensus was that so far the window has been good but it is still too early to predict until the window is closed and we know what players we have or havent got. I cant believe that you were not on it too, polluting it.
