Morning all, hope you have all calmed down just a little😀
Ben thinking this morning, trying to look for some positives and just came up with this crazy theory.
Many are questioning Ole's appointment. But maybe, just maybe this may actually be a very shrewd appointment after all?
What if ( and it's a big if) Woodward and the rest of the bumbling fools have actually realised what a state the squad is, and the bad apples that are actually there . They know they need a big clear out and a rebuild. They have also found out that in recent seasons that on the whole, the fans have backed the players over 'outsider' managers, and also know if that ultimately the manager takes responsibility and that it is always going to be easier to get rid of one man rather than the players.
By appointing Ole, a club legend, they know the fans will back him, and will be right behind him in getting rid of said bad apples no matter who they are.
Maybe, just maybe there is a purpose in appointing a fans favourite, a club legend despite him not having the experience or successful managerial background that we would normally expect?

Just to make it clear, I am still unsure about Ole, but certainly not one calling for his sacking already. He was a huge risk, but like previous managers, needs to be given the time and the backing to put things right. Time will tell if he is the right man, not the last 6 weeks.

He keeps mentioning next pre season which gives me a slither of hope that he is going to drill some sort of system or style of play into the players.

We are not going to get rid of all the players as people have furiously suggested, we will be lucky to get rojo and darmian off the books.

The likes of smalling, jones, young, matic, sanchez and lukaku will all be here next season. It is not looking good so you are not going to find many positives.

Yes Betty, hope your theory works out.
Ole must be ruthless this summer. Clear the sulkers out.
