Would you be happy with Ole Gunnar Solskjær? Now with added poll.

[Billy Walker]

Has our stock fallen so far that we cannot attract a guy from Norway?

Albeit with Champions League football to look forward to, and if he plays his cards right a stepping stone to another club established in the Champions League.

First question, even in informal talks would be "how much will I have to spend?" so perhaps he didn't like the answer.

Maybe we we didn't offer him the job, just like with Martinez last year.  Informal talks are just that-informal talks.  If OGS has another couple of good seasons building his career then we have laid some good groundwork and marked his card.  A sound decision all round for me and far too big a gamble at this stage.  Hopefully the club will be looking at plenty more candidates that are just as vibrant and the right fit for the club.  Onwards and upwards.

[Dave Clark Five]

OGS 6/1
Lambert 9/4
Coyle 25/1

[cdbearsfan]

If he has turned us down, can we go back to hating the Manure-loving, Bench-warming, Reindeer-Fucking Midget again?

[PaulWinch again]

If Sky's story is based on that press conference they are well off.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Yes. I never liked the twat.
 

[Dave Clark Five]

The one fucking time I agreed with everyone else!

[PaulWinch again]

'Not on the look out for a new job', does not mean he doesn't want one.

[john2710]

What's he supposed to say, he's been offered the job? he's thinking about accepting the job? But he's going to stay for the last few matches.

If there's a quote saying I won't be the next manager of Aston Villa then fine.

He's already been quoted as saying he wasn't offered the job & there are several other people to interview.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

This is like BFR in 91 all over again. Just put a tenner on OGS now he's 6/1 as you never know.

[Phil from the upper holte]

It better not be coyle

[Monty]

The Beeb are doing exactly that. The key quote is "I'm not looking for another job". But in the same sentence he said "but we'll wait and see".

Weird they're reporting this as cut-and-dried, but they're not reporting the extraordinary burnt bridges from Rokke and the like.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

He is still coming, I want to hear his team talks.
 

     Første stopp jævla slipper inn mål på corner.
     Second, prøv og scorer ett jævla mål fra en corner.
     Warnock, svar meg tilbake og jeg vil sparke din jævla hodet i.
     Collins, slutte å gå i nattklubber for piss ups klokken tre om morgenen.
     Dunne, legg dem paier og pasties ned og holde kjeft.
     Delph, har du en legeerklæring?
     Bannan, ikke drikke og kjøre.
     N'Zogbia, fortell meg hva faen gjør du her?
     Gabby, din en villa mann gjennom og through.Start lek som Villa mann igjen.
     Bent, hører jeg at du kan score tjue mål i en sesong. Gjør det!

     Faulkner, får faen ut dette rommet. Jeg har ansvaret!

I am under contract at Molde. l am not looking for another job - thats the basis on which sky report this as dead. He has been put in a press conference and been asked about a job he hasn't been offered yet. The glaring flaw in his statement is that this bloke who isn't looking for another job just flew to another country to talk about one.

[ROBBO]

It's the twenty four hour press cycle, they have to make it up as they go along, it's all bollocks.

[Monty]

Is there any suggestion that the Norwegian press are reporting this? I thought that journo DW spoke to after the conference was non-committal?
