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. It is what it is.

I agree with this too.
He was the right guy to come in as a caretaker manager, him and Woodward made some smart purchases, and they set the team in the right direction again.
But in terms of actual on the pitch play I still don't see much strategy or structure from them beyond "We are going to out talent you on the pitch".
And I think in order to take the next step they need a better actual game manager.
