I'll say it again, Ole did a good job for the most part. This club was in absolute turmoil after Mourinho and he cleaned it up well. He got most of the squad decisions right, which ultimately is his downfall now: he could hide behind the weak squad in the past, but those excuses don't fly anymore. There's too much quality in the squad for that, and the next manager will benefit from it. The club's in much better shape than when Ole took over, and yeah, he does deserve credit for that.

So no hard feelings from me. Ultimately, he can't fulfill the heightened expectations and take the club to the next level. Finishing 3rd and 2nd was decent, but he's not a good enough manager for more. The club needs to accept that and move on, but I certainly take Ole's reign at United over his predecessors' and it's not particularly close.
