if u actually listened to Ole you will hear him say u need players like Fred and Scott because of their never give up attitude. he never said they were the best, he said they gave their best everytime and that is true and thats why Scott is currently Man united top scorer

This whole thing is so out of context.. I watched the stick to football podcast and these little snippets of what ole said doesn’t show what he actually meant

If Bellingham and Haaland went to Man Utd when they were younger they would not be the players they are now. Utd would have ruined them.

Bring Ole back all day long

I am pissin myself laughing at the birthday party shoutout

I think he was simply referring to the fact that Sir Alex was asked what he thought by the media when Ole left Ronaldo out - if I remember correctly Sir Alex disagreed and the media blew it up - pure conjecture that Sir Alex is involved behind the scenes

This is really untrue Olle should never have been sacked. He did a great job. The best football United have played since fergie!

Matt Busby used to interfere after he retired and the club got relegated 2:37 . After that he stopped meddling.

I honestly think that Ole was on the right path, but the club itself has deep rooted issues that no manager can overcome. Saying that as a Liverpool fan. I think they could sign any manager in the world, but expecting him to come in and fix the issue won't work.

As dumb as it sounds and with the power of hindsight ole has actually been one of the better utd managers since fergie left id probs say he was the 2nd best after mourinho.

Bring back Ole's the best Manager since SAF & his time were the best time, all he needs is a new Management who can look after him & our interests cos he definitely wouldn't roll over like EtH did last Sunday night, don't forget Ole has unfinished business to attend too. Keep it in the family!

I’d have him back now over ten hag no style of play and his post match interviews make him sound genuinely clueless. We played more attacking, exciting football plus he new the values the fans value

This is the antithesis of taking comments out of context.. The fergie one, if you just continue to quote the next Line, he goes onto say it was because it didn't help that he came out and spoke against him dropping R7 puplicly, not that he wanted his permission.

Every fan of every other club agrees ..ole should still be at the wheel 😂

Ole played closest to Uniteds DNA not many recognise that

1:59 Yup. 100% right. I someyines disagree with Darren but I totally agree here. The whole Ronaldo transfer was forced on him by Rio and SAF and it shouldn't have been. He should have either requested the player or not. Simple. And then to snidely talk about team selection and allow it to be leaked without a mass public apology?? Nah, that's just wrong.

Ole had to manage people like Jesse and pogba! Guy deserves more credit. He had more of an identity than ten haag has

Theese 2 are the best duo on talksport by far imo 👌

Missing the point on the fergie comment. Was a leaked video of a private conversation of fergie telling khabib that Ronaldo should have started a game that Ole was referring to.

Klinsmann had a clause in his contract in Tottenham (when he joined in January 1998) that meant he was always selected when fit. He inserted the clause in order to ensure sufficient minutes in the build up to the 1998 worldcup

Ole deserved more time.He didnt have the personell to play other then counter attack. Lack of technique in squad.

The reason Ole mentioned SAF wasn’t happy with benching Cristiano is because of his comments when Ole benched him and SAF said to someone you always start your best 11 and they filmed it and posted it online.

That last caller. I was crying. Hilarious 🎉😂😂😂

Looking at EtH spending over £400M to get certain players & not getting them all when the owners released the necessary cash for him to get them in 18 months + the way he treated certain players e.g. Ronaldo, Pogba, VDB etc... + we experienced the worst season we've had for 60 years by experiencing our worst loss, a 0 - 7 loss to Liverpool & helping Man City achieve the Treble to us this guy came to town to Literally take the piss! We leave you with this.... Officially knocked out of the champions league over 12 weeks ago is a sackable offences so EtH knows his chances of staying already! EtH has been the worst Manager at Man Utd for 60 years, we've experienced since SMB. This manager is purposely going out of his way to mess up everything that we stand for so he definitely doesn't deserve to Stay, Win, Draw or Lose on Saturday or Sunday. Get Rid ASAP! Keep it in the family!

Ole would be great for a club who's looking to finish between 6-10 sort of placing, his tactics were terrible but he could get the best out of players in counters style play.

They are looking too deep into the sir alex comment, Ole said it as a passing comment, In no way did he mean Sir alex had a say in the team selection! Completely out of context.

We would deffo have him, Forest.

The Three Stooges' - Let's puts things in prospective with the last six managers, Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Randnick & Ten Hag: Moyes - Out of his depth, West Ham suits him, Van Gaal - should have won the League with squad he had but instead he decided to send everybody to sleep until he got 5th place so the board had to act. Mourinho - even though he was successful that was the worst football we've seen at Man Utd since SMB & post Fergie that went Toxic so the board had to act so No More Defensive Coaches. Rangnick - Soon as he came should have went straight upstairs as DOF & assisted Ole otherwise Out of his depth. Solskjaer - has been the best Manager since Ferguson so we need to appreciate his contributions to our present state of affairs, managing recruits & sense of direction to play the Man Utd way. Ten Hag - Officially knocked out of the champions league over 13 weeks ago is a sackable offences so his knows his chances of staying already. EtH has been the worst Manager at Man Utd for 60 years, we've experienced since SMB. This manager is purposely going out of his way to mess up everything that we stand for so he definitely doesn't deserve to Stay, Win, Draw or Lose on Saturday or Sunday. Get Rid ASAP! Conclusion So bring back Ole cos he wanted us to enjoy our football again so we're glad for that & we want more Vibes football with his new Management team to gain the necessary chance of success!

If Goldstein & Bent listened to the interview properly. Ole said that it was the right decision to sign Ronaldo at the time. But he also said that in reality it wasn't the right move for United in the End

Only thing i can say, Ravel Morrison

Man Utd need to move forward and stop consulting Ferguson about ANYTHING anymore. - It has only been negative for him to remain involved in club matters. - If it’s a case where he was consulted over the appointment of all or most of the managers since he retired, then this has only proved to have failed in every possible way.

Ferguson wasn’t involved in team selection. This is what happens when you read quotes - context is missed. Ronaldo was left out, and then Ferguson was asked by a journalist about it. He said you have to start your best players. This had nothing to do with team selection decisions, it simply added more pressure on toe Solskjær, and made more people demand Ronaldo play, sticking up for him whilst complaining Solskjær didn’t know what he was doing (that in itself is debatable in the long run, but not either regards to Ronaldo.

They have a good manager in ten Hag. Unfortunately they don’t have a good enough squad.

These people who think Ole played great football obviously don't know what great football is - it's exactly the same as what Ten Hag plays only Ole had a midfield that could actually control a game to a certain extent. Ole's team, just like the current one with Ten Hag, was just kick and run, counter attack and living off individual brilliance

Why comment on an interview when you haven't even watched it. You're reading about it through a secondary source instead of watching it on KZfaq. Ole only referred to an SAF statement after one game where he left Cristiano out. What he meant was that he was under pressure to play Ronaldo and instead of leaving it to him, people were criticizing him, including SAF. He seemed a bit hurt about it because more than Ole, it is SAF's duty to stay out of it. He shouldn't have said it in the first place. Imagine SAF saying Ole was right to leave Ronaldo out although the team had lost the game. That would have strengthened Ole in the dressing room, for the same reason that it weakened him. The manager isn't working on an island. It's sad that opinion leaders like SAF and Roy Keane didn't call Cristiano out. Only Gary did. Roy went to see Ole all the way to Kristiansund after he was fired but when he was on the job and Ronaldo was being a baby about the commitment he had already made, that is when Roy should have stood up for Ole. It hurts me as a United fan that none of the former so-called legends stood with the manager when they all knew he was right.

Get behind and support ETH, he has not had the structure above to do his job or the players, this is ridiculous I feel so ashamed of you all for jumping to call for his sacking.

I think they've misunderstood what he meant. You could see in the stands at a few moments

Whether or not you think Solakjaer was good, there’s very little you point to to make the argument that he was worse than Ten Hag. I’d have kept Solskjaer.

Now we've a slim chance to make top 4 cos the players want it but EtH is the reason why we've lost so many games at the half way point cos he's hanging his players out to dry & he's at fault for 6 out of the 11 losses due poor summer transfers where we want 6 players & only got 3, poor team selection, poor squad usages & poor game management so his Job is definitely under review due to his underperformance as Manager of our Club! It's best for EtH & his team to pack their bags & go back to Ajax to reinvent himself & bring back Ole & his new management team (Ole & his 3 wise men)! Keep it in the family!

No surprise there with Utd ignoring the Haaland offers twice.

For all these deluded fans that want Ole back must really want United to remain trophyless. Theyre allowing their hearts to override their brains

Fergie did not intervene.

People choosing Zidane blow my mind , saying he’s a proven manager also blows my mind. He was handed a galactico squad to play with in a club where he is looked at as a god, the Stars were aligned for him and yes he was successful but he never managed anywhere else let alone in the Prem , would like to see how he copes if he looses 5 on the bounce at united the Media would have a field day with him..

Remember the video came out with ferguson saying you need to start your best players.

That one chap was talking about when united finished second under Ole, they were amazing. He also wants him back?! How can anybody who watches football think that? They were nowhere near being a top side. That was a highly unusual season where nearly all of the big clubs seriously underperformed. They were still miles away from being genuine contenders.

The comment about Sir Alex not being happy was very interesting... He even referred to Sir Alex as "The Gaffer"... Which is surely so unhealthy for a guy trying to establish himself as the number 1. When Bill Shankly left Liverpool - the next season they had to ban him from the training ground as he used to turn up every day and everyone still called him the boss... How was Bob Paisley ever meant to establish himself and assume authority. Fergie should do the right thing and step right back.

"He's a good lad"

The great sir Bobby robson became manager of the mighty Barcelona in 96.. he was under pressure from the start the president of Barcelona at the time Said we need bums on seats. And we need a top class striker do you know one. Bobby replied yes I do, there is this young kid at psv He’s a risk but he’s a terrific player Jose mourinho was Bobbys second in command he called the Brazilian ronaldo the “REAL” Ronaldo and the rest is history

A video came out of sir Alex talking to someone after we lost a game and he said to the person why would you drop Ronaldo?? That’s what that’s about

Love listening to Benty

I think Ole would fit any attacking minded EPL club

Fergie not being happy about Ronaldo being left out & Fergie getting involved in team selection are two very different things.

When Bellingham was in the building United still had Fred, Mctominay, Matic, Mata, Pogba, Fernandes... He was not going to play was he.

Bless ole lovely bloke and a great super sub…but defo not managerial material he hasn’t got a clue 😑

makes me laugh they think haaland would of ever gone to man utd lol, for ones hes a big leeds fan and two his dad hates man utd and so does he !

I believe Ole wasn't the managers for us. Yes, he brought vibes, but vibes didn't win us anything. We depended more on individual brilliance back then than now. Yes we beat City but we dont get trophies for beating city now and before yall starting saying its important to beat city and i agree but if we celebrate that then we no different from Liverpool fans celebrating beating us 7nil and we kept saying "you dont get a trophy for that's" its same with beating city under Ole we. What i do respect is him pointing out that the issues truly havent been the managers fault entirely and that the players and the top brass are the issues

Does EtH have a future at our Club? Ans. No, Bayern Munich would be the sort of Club that suits EtH not Ole! EtH has to earn the right to be our Manager cos right now he's been messing Up due to his lack of adapting & limited approach to the job, so there's room for improvement! If Eric Ten Hag gets the PUSH cos he's a Man City fan, helping the opposition & sabotage what he has built at our Club then bring back Ole Gunnar Solskjear with his new Management team (Ole & his 3 Wise Men)! Keep it in the family!

everyone knew this/ and still knows it now - that the club was run by clowns - and 70% of the squad were / are useless - ETH mentions character every week - some really dont have any. INEOS will oust most of this squad for sure. It also shows it was never the manager.

I've always maintained that the trouble my beloved United is going through is partly because we want to continue under the shadow of Fergie. He's gone and we should learn to give new Managers the chance to do things their way.

Makes seem like ETH is leaving.. why you guys talking about another manager

Ole in 🤣

This argument loses its bite a little bit when it comes from a United fan. United's dominance in the 90s and early 00s was the same really, I think there's an element of just being fed up that its city's turn now.

So who is this 'top flight, A grade Manager' 🤔

The way he was speaking about Haaland and other players like they would have join United was hilarious. Completely and utterly deluded it was embarrassing.

I'd like to hear what Goldstein says but I'd rather pull my own eyes out than hear what Bent says, so f it, off to pull just one of my own eyes out as a compromise

When all you journalists ever did was to justify why he had to be sacked..

Ole is clueless. He still thinks Fred and Dan James were good at United.

The squad under fergie did extra trainings after training has ended. These lot? Probably dancing in tiktok in the dressing room after training.

Southgate wouldn’t get a league 2 job

That last caller talking about proven managers.....van gaal and Mourinho worked well 😅

100% bring him back

"You can never not take Ronaldo back" is why we are where we are. We should never have brought him back for several reasons. For one, we are too sentimental. We brought in Sir Alex, Cantona, Robson, and Keane should have been there to sign Bellingham. What a load of rubbish. Sir Alex is getting involved when Ronaldo is rested proves my piont Solskjaer should never have gotten the job permanently. I was never on board from day one cos I didn't think he had the presence. Ronaldo was also a no for me cos I knew he was getting on in age, but his ego would not let him see that he couldn't play every game. Also, cos of who he is, he will want to win right now, but the team wasn't ready. Anybody with 2 brain cells should have seen all this, and I did and wrote comments on various channels at the time.

He paid £40 mill for diallo

Ole also brought in Garnacho and Maino

Objectively, I think Solskjaer did a good job at Utd. Someone tell Simon Jordan though. He thinks Solskjaer ran away with his wife.

The 2nd caller that wants ole back sounds like what you would imagine the ole In plebs to sound like

In jose 1st season united finished 6th on 69 points. Ole finished 3rd with 66 in his full season. So lets not say he done fantastic. His style of football was bad, and just bought bad players.

Al lot of people don’t understand it sir Alex 5 year to get united up there name me another United Manager who has that time given to them

At the wheel best chant ever YNWA

We would of ruined haaland at United.His development at Salzburg then Dortmund molded him into the player he is now

Ollie knows full well saying SAF wouldn’t be happy would look very bad for SAF! Not sure what he’s playing at, not sure either, how much truth is in anything he’s saying

This interview is proof that former man Utd camaraderie like neville and sons have been too interfering in the manutd affairs post fergie. They're equally culpable in the condition utd find themselves in at currently.

bent is right. Sir Alex isn't manager anymore. He shouldn't be still having a say in footballing matters.

United fans are hilarious, they seriously think Zidane is interested in joining? 😂

Tim is crazy

he is talking about what he said and came out in public what sir alex

that's exactly why wenger waited years before coning back to the Emirates

Did Ole deserve the level of hate he got at the time.... Probably not. ... Is there likely a large archive of Andy on this very show ripping into him on the regular when ManUtd were at their rock bottom... probably yes. 😅

Bought Elanga 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was an academy prospect you 🤡s

I doubt Ehrling would have signed for United. It wouldn’t have sat right with him.

The ignorance to assume Haaland would’ve joined Man Utd. Do they not know who his father is?

"You have to respect ole"? ...erm no , no i dont

It was a mistake to bring in Ronaldo because United were not in a state to carry passengers. It's like when Arsenal had Mesut Ozil. Ya he's a beautiful player who can do things no one else at the club could do, but Arsenal did not have the squad to support a luxury player. Even worse with Ronaldo is that it brought extra expectations that were never achievable.

Elanga wasn't bought

If Solksjaer was a top manager, why has no other top club around the world been seeking his services .

Ole was better than people make out. He was 100% better than E.T.H.

I reckon fergie tried to give him advise and ole took the huff

Love ole etc etc but needs to take accountability for standing over 200 mill spent on sancho Maguire and van den Beek....that's just 3 players ....all flops you could say ...200 million...saying oh I wanted rice , Haaland etc is a red herring

Undefeated away the whole season

It wasn't a private conversation though. SAF was caught on tape, which is what Ole was referring to.
