Hammers fans savage ‘arrogant’ Man United boss

|
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has declared that he expects Manchester United to be in decent position to snap up some player bargains from clubs who have suffered serious financial problems following the global health scare.
His remarks didn’t go down at all well with a number of Claret and Hugh followers where he was accused of arrogance and reminders that Mancehster United may not come out of this unharmed.
Here are some random views.
O Incredible lack of class. With nearly a thousand dead in this country yesterday the bloke is talking about football bargains after the health scare passes? Disgusting!
O Shows a lack of respect and class to talk about such things at this time. In Spain deaths are still rising yet his predecessor Mourinho sees fit to put his players and the general public needlessly at risk by training in a park foregoing Government instructions about social distancing to try to take advantage of adverse conditions for when the season restarts.

O Some of those in football would do well to understand that quote because their arrogance shouldn’t be excused.

O So he thinks Man United will come out if this unharmed. He may find out differently. Arrogance appears to be rearing its head. We will see.

O Economics, supply and demand and cash flow always exist. We will have our own plans and our board will have its own red lines. Perhaps its time to get behind the board and stop sniping just for once.
O In my opinion poor timing. Also his comments will I think apply to both sides of the coin as they say.

      The fans are justifiably reacting to a class-less Man Utd manager . To talk of cashing in on badly stricken clubs is crass at best . Nothing has changed at Old Trafford , still the same up your’s attitude . I could say a lot more But manors prevent me .

    Says AJ, while running his own mouth in the same circumstances. Hypocrite comes to mind. Grow up.

    Ole has been annoying me for quite some time with his arrogant quotes and superior attitude. Personally I see his talking as insecurity in his position. He’s trying to pretend that he’s talking from a position of strength, whereas in truth he is talking from a position of insecurity and weakness. Man U are slap bang in the middle of nowhere, there is no structure, no signs of green shoots, both Liverpool and Man City are miles ahead of them and they are under intense pressure and scrutiny from their supporters, press and media.
    So Ole, feels that he can attract or unsettle good young players at bargain prices to Man U, simply to destroy them at some point or bring their progression made at their present clubs to a grinding halt. If I was a decent young player, I would avoid being attracted to a club like Man U being managed by a manager who is obviously on the brink of being fired at some point soon, to be followed by who knows who. Ole is a desperate man with no pedigree and no past form of managing at the highest level. Man U………. Avoid!
