Ole, Poch and the soul of Man Utd


Mauricio Pochettino as Manchester United does not work for me.

At stake in this transition period is the soul of the club, to be defined as the mystical union of fan and team, translating into belief, fervour, expectation and achievement, as undeniable elements of the
experience.

Any one of the above, without the others, makes the experience incomplete.

The least important is achievement (see Man City).

In the hands of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the soul of the club is safe. And nurtured.  And growing. Evolving.

Unless we are soul-changing (see Chelsea), Poch is not the man for Manchester United.
