    It rarely disappoints to be honest. I mean, who doesn't enjoy a nice story. If it's in any inspirational and compelling, all the better...

    The boy was literally handed a golden ticket to restart his career in England.

    This conversation has been had before. Some here think he deserves to keep getting 2nd (and 9th) chances. I'm of the opinion that hes had enough. He's obviously either not performing or is bad for the dressing room if all of these coaches want nothing to do with him.

    Remember seeing some extended highlights of this game but didn't realize that Sterling had played. Kinda wild how each of their careers panned out after this.

    Being a potential means nothing, other people overtake you if stop working hard.

    he has to eventually settle somewhere. he isn't even playing at this point or for the last couple of years and he's supposed to be entering his physical peak now.

    whatever talent he has is underdeveloped and probably diminishing at this point. if i had to guess i'd say it's more likely he will give it up and retire early than establish himself somewhere.

    if he's not on a play to pay basis, he's essentially stealing wages and blocking the pathway for someone else

    David Moyes bought Fellaini.
    Ole sold him.

    Nuff said.

    What a signing he turned out to be. Money so very well spent: that's the kind of player you spend a world record fee on.

    Should have been a sackable offense to target him. I think I said this at the time too.

    With grand promises of Cesc and Herrera, only to make a “bold” move and sign his boy from his last club.

    You forget turning down Thiago as he wasn't his type of player.

    Doesn't matter in hindsight if he was backed correctly or not, if it's very obvious he was not the right man for the job. Something that has been pretty much proven in his short stint in charge.
    Whatever else one thinks about Ole, he's a much better fit than Moyes ever could have been, because he clearly has an understanding of what the club is about in terms of its philosophy and ethos.

    Was never worthy of backing up. Everything he did at the club was an absolute shambles. It doesn't even matter that he was directly after Sir Alex - he managed to be appalling in his own right. He was a phenomenal ditherer, everything he said in public was utterly small time, he had no plan whatsoever and he made sure nobody competent was around to advise him.

    It's telling that it's only fans of other clubs who think he should have had more backing.

    It was a sign of things to come when he dismissed Fergie’s suggestion of keeping the backroom staff for support and continuity and he brought in his flunkies from Everton.

    tapes of Jagielka, yikes...

    did Fergie ever try to defend that trainwreck after the fact?
