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 2632 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. |  | |  |

It is at certain elite levels like through the FA academy system. Steve Cooper gave a good talk on this once where he talked about how the age group players for England respond better to a more mature manager style and the hair drier treatment days are a relict best left in the past. I have reservations about OGS if that’s how he goes about things, and it would explain why he was poor at Cardiff with lesser players. There’s also the issue of being hands off any relying on coaches (who’s that going to be, the coaches become as important as the manager?). And the gap in his CV doesn’t help either. He’s on a downwards trajectory. It feels like an Evan appointment to me. That’s just a gut feeling and not based on a lot though. He could be fine. |  |

100%. The article is 7 years old, but has OGS moved on in that time? The article worries me. The ability to analyse teh opposition, come up with the right tactics and players for each game, then the ability to read what is going on and adapt in-match. How good is OGS at those things? We know KM was exceptional at the preparation, maybe his biggest weakness was adapting when things didn't work on the pitch. But not sure if OGS has these skills we need. |  |

I think his signings are what worry me most about him - although the Young story isn't great either. Isn't OGS besties or possibly even business partner with a somewhat interesting agent? |  |

Nothing wrong with a bit of old school not saying physical. But telling people a few home truths either the manager or the captain when your out there today players are made captain because they are classed as the best player . They often have no leadership skills. |  | |  |

I don’t think it actually is, people just assume. I am pretty sure Pep and Klopp have massively kicked off at players on a regular basis! |  | |  |

| Interesting observations of OGS management style by Ashley Young on 08:06 - Jun 17 with 1182 views | franz_tyson | I think he'll be a safe choice. And maybe Kieran has given his reference to Ashers. Just don't think he's anything special other than a very decent, likeable guy. I'd rather have a bit of a gamble with the Barry Bannan Murphy fellow. This aiming for 4th from bottom could be more fun with an up and coming coach. |  | |  |

Unfortunately he is only fixated with Man Utd and Norway. I don't think he can adapt to Ipswich at 53. No thank you. This was KMc first managerial job and he built up to the Premiership. OGS is likely to be a disaster. |  |
