Watford 4 v Manchester United 1. Am I sad Ole is no longer our manager. Absolutely. Am I gutted it didn’t work out for him as our manager. Absolutely. Was it the right time for him to go? Again, absolutely.
Unfortunately there was nothing more he could do. Wins and results are the one thing we all want, but when performances are as bad as they have been the last two months, there was no coming back from that.
Is he, or was he the major issue at our club, absolutely not. However, he had to finally be relived of his duties I’m afraid. As the buck ends with Ole himself and he’ll admit that.
Ole has made numerous mistakes (there is nothing wrong with that) but when you’re not learning from those mistakes you have a problem. Starting with why he has continued to play the same four players in a defensive back line, when all of them have been awful all season.
Ole might have gone, but the owners, the club, the board, the coaching staff and of course the players are all part of the problem and this is on their heads just as much.
Anyway, I’ll go into Ole’s reign in more detail in my blog in a few days time.
In the meantime, he are Phil’s (and his friends) thoughts from both before and after the Watford game :
