OLIVER HOLT: Sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is NOT the answer for Manchester United... they have become a pound shop Real Madrid and it's time Ed Woodward took the blame for this shambles
Pound shop Real Madrid? Now that's provocative!
Pound shop Real Madrid? Now that's provocative!
So they sold Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's best goalscorer to Inter Milan. They loaned his best defender to Roma. His best midfielder is available for weddings and birthday parties but very rarely for football matches.
They loaned Alexis Sanchez without replacing him, too, although whether anybody really noticed he had gone is a moot point. Solskjaer's best forward is out injured for most of the rest of the season, too.
When Solskjaer tries to sign someone in the transfer window, his executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, suddenly decides he doesn't want to be Father Christmas any more and says he won't pay.
To make things even better, one of those targets, Erling Braut Haaland, has scored five goals in 57 minutes in the Bundesliga for his new club, Borussia Dortmund. And yet Solskjaer is out of his depth, apparently. That's what I keep hearing.
Woodward, who is still the de facto director of football, started the clear-out at Old Trafford but forgot the rebuild. Manchester United have got more noodle sponsors than functioning midfielders but let's not allow that to get in the way of the idea that Solskjaer isn't up to the job.
United are fifth in the Premier League. That's a place higher than they were when Jose Mourinho left and scarpered back to London.
With the squad Solskjaer has, and the mess he was bequeathed by the conglomerate of incompetence that came before him, that he has managed to keep United in contention for the top four is an achievement, not a reason for scorn. In case you hadn't noticed, United have not been title contenders for a while.
Woodward and the Glazer family can put their hands up for that. They have led United to a land a million miles away from the place where Liverpool and Manchester City reside.
The scrap for the best of the rest is their blasted landscape now and somehow Solskjaer has managed to keep them ahead of Arsenal and Spurs in the race of the one-eyed giants.
This may not be the most opportune time to defend Solskjaer. The eve of an away trip to League One strugglers Tranmere Rovers, which has got FA Cup giant-killing written all over it, very rarely is. And, sure, the home league defeat by Burnley last Wednesday, the lines of fans heading for the exits with 10 minutes to go and the swathes of empty seats was not a good look.
But to get rid of Solskjaer now would be the most damning symbol yet of quite how far the club has strayed from what made it great. To bow to hysterical demands to change the manager yet again, barely a year after he took over, would be to complete United's transition to the antithesis of what they once stood for.
Once, that was stability and trophies. Now they teeter on the brink of anarchy.
Everyone knows who is really to blame for the omnishambles at England's biggest club. It is the club's owners, the Glazers, and their placeman, Woodward. Many of United's match-going fans recognise this, which is why they still chanted their support for Solskjaer on Wednesday night and turned on the ownership instead.
They bear the responsibility for turning it into a cash-cow rather than a football club. They bear the responsibility for a series of botched managerial appointments. The buck stops with them. They bear the responsibility for the shockingly poor player recruitment that has left Solskjaer with the skeletal playing staff he has now.
The Glazers have taken somewhere in the region of £1billion in dividends out of United and the club is starting to reek of decay on and off the field.

Commentators praising the shit out of city for scoring 4 goals against Fulham, who had 10 men from 6th minute. City had their first team out.

I’m just glad the media are picking up on the truth because majority of fans are brainwashed by the media and up until recently the media just blame Ole and the fans see sacking Ole as an easy solution.
It isn’t.
