An old article but absolutely no way is it 'old school', managers have values, are you saying you don't trust Ashley Young? |  | |  |

| His Man United managerial record is better than I expected: on 21:06 - Jun 16 with 916 views | unstableblue | Games - 168 Wins - 91 Draws - 37 Losses - 40 Win % - 51.72 In the 20/21 season he had them top after 17 games. 14 match unbeaten run. And a 9-0 win over the Saints. Ending up as runners up Yes he clearly had good coaches with McKenna. But some merit there. Ended up falling apart and he was let go. Clearly some merit in there and I think he might fit at Ipswich. But he had some big losses at Man U, and i'd have a few reservations. Not an appointment I'm hugely against though. |  |

Nah John Stones. Maguire & Stones are best mates, Stones is leaving City, Maguire will help convince Stones to join OGS at Town. |  | |  |

I really would take his United record with a pinch of salt. It's no surprise Carrick has walked in there and done brilliantly well, even Van Nistelroy won 3/4 games as the boss. Some teams just get that boost when they hir ex players and United are one of them. My biggest reservation is that he had KM and Carrick, two managers that have now passed him in the food chain. How much of it was them? |  | |  |

On your final question - a lot of it. OGS didn't really get his hands dirty on the training field. It was Kieran and Carrick who handled a lot of the day-to-day. But the game's moved on. A manager is no longer a Fergie-style figurehead with good coaches around them. They have to be an elite coach in their own right *and* great at man management. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I agree! I'd rather Barry-Murphy than OGS |  | |  |

The more I think about it, the more I wonder whether this could be the worst possible appointment. I don't think we need someone to galvanise the squad and improve morale to get players playing for him. He's not going to be managing a team of elite players who are not willing to work hard and think they know better than the manager. Our squad seem a humble hardworking bunch. We need a manager who is going to maximise the player's ability and be very good tactically. I'm not sure Solsjkaer can do either of those things. I don't know, it's a pretty poor pool of managers in the betting, I'm not sure I'd be overly enthusiastic about any of them even if we were still in the Championship. I really hope we've got someone from abroad lined up. |  | |  |
