Jury is still out for me - Hope I’m wrong but it has the feeling of Solskjær getting the Man U job permanently, prematurely.

We haven’t won a game against any of the teams currently above us this season in league or cup and while we should all be happy with the upturn in results and form it needs to be put into context of the teams we’ve played.

Fair assessment of things as they stand

Solskjær's problem at Old Trafford was not that he was a bad coach, but that, at the end of the day, his squad wasn't as good as the squads of his rivals.

Just sayin'...

Lol...what a difference a month makes...almost every one of you wanted him out.

I learned with Wane, I'd slated him all season, the when we won the GF I quite happily ate humble pie. I don't make any knee jerk comments anymore, I wait for the season to finish and then give an opinion. There's many seasons where a team has been average all season and come good for the playoffs and vice versa, teams have been immense and then folded like a cheap suit when it mattered.

Not like that month wasn't significant, though. Five wins out of five and a rapid ascent from the relegation fight to the top four.

I know where you're coming from, however. I'm sure you'd have preferred Wigan to be coachless and adrift rather than suddenly breathing down your necks.

Honestly...
I love it when things go pear shape at Wigan and Saints for the banter as you do us...God knows Wire fans have suffered that longer than either throughout periods...but it's relatively short lived amusement...

Whereas beating your dear neighbours while they are in top form has a much greater buzz.

So no I prefer ruddered Wigan and settled side....S Wane and Sam T were always guilty pleasures for me.

Wane s hould have stayed

It's not the coach it's:

The constant drain of talent on an annual basis.

Replacements coming in from lower SL clubs/championship clubs.

A steady stream of mid-long term injuries.

I agree completely with that. It looks like IL is running the club on the cheap on the outside. I’m certain there is a reason why, likely we’re spending more or just below what we’re bringing in. And if that’s the case, on what?
