With the kind of 'audition' Ole has had, it would have been very difficult not to make him permanent and would have risked a lot of toxicity (to borrow from ed 02).
A couple of months to end of season, with pre season already planned we and the team needed to know who will lead Utd.
Now this decision is timely and will facilitate all other aspects of the game for us.
I think this appointment is the most popular with the fans since fergie left, we have but one hope; Return to GLORY.
Ole Ole Ole!

regardless of the fans opinion
the guy has transformed the team along with his staff has us playing football again.
the last 2 games have both been losses but we look tired given now we do more in games.
everyone said his test was feb/ march well he well and truly passes that test.
he deserves the job and now the hard work starts.

Just been reading all the scouse comments on various media. How could we have made such a bad mistake? LOL.

Well ot7 ole has lost points on Liverpool since he took over so they aren't overly concerned.
Im delighted though.
I don't understand the timing of the announcement. But there is no doubt that its a popular appointment.
He ticked nearly every box during his trial period. He has earned the job.

I don't think he has earned the job just yet.

Leahy spot on. What if things go pear shaped from now until the end of the season. No way can the club sack him as it would be really badly received by the fans and press. As much as I like Ole and appreciate what he has done so far the fact is he has won nothing of note as a manager. I hope he makes me eat my words and I will be delighted to do so but I fear that once again the club have made a bad error of judgement.

I believe the timing brings a boost to the team after the international break and hopefully brings new energy after the last two games. hopefully It would last until the end of the season.
It would be interesting to see how the team stands after the barcelona maches. regardless of the result.

Who else was available?
Poch wants to stay to house warm the new stadium. Also he's won nowt.
Blanc, not good enough.
Allegri not the right style.
Anyone else?

We have a few hard games coming up, I would still have waited and the end of the season I would be looking at what ole has done the last few months and make the decision straight way after the last game of the season.

Presumably at some point between now and May Woodworm starts thinking about maybe signing a player or two, just to have something to put on the outgoings column of his excel spreadsheet. He meets with agents. They ask the important question: "if my client moves to Manchester who will be his manager? " Probably not best to leave it till right when everyone in the football world packs their bags and heads for the nearest beach to be appointing a manager.

Don't appoint him yet, just wait for the next game, then the next game.
This feels like the appointment Moyes was supposed to be. A guy who will grow into the role with the values of the club at the core of his being.
He's a positivity guy who has lifted the performances of the players he's got. The club feels more unified. Maybe that means we don't sign 6 of everyone's favourite players in the summer. But maybe, just maybe, it might bring us sustaining success in the longer term.

I agree Mort that we need to have a definite plans and manager arranged well in time for the summer holidays and transfer window but imagine if we start to lose and drop out of contention for the Champions league places then which top players Will be attracted to us? Should have waited til our season was defined as a success or not.
