No this thread isn’t about Craig (god love him)... it was just me having a reflective moment about Man U(re). Does anyone else think they did a Craig Shakespeare by appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?
By that I mean they appointed a caretaker who did a decent enough job in that role (probably because he was liked by some of the players) but is ultimately not quite right for the job. They put in their shift so he’d get the job (because let’s face it, it is in their interest to have one of their mates as manager) and now he has it the foot is off the pedal.
I could see this happening months ago which is why I am delighted they gave him the job... we have a better chance at placing higher than them next year.
