Is Ole Gunnar Solskjr Man Utds worst man

Here, Peter Watton, from experts OddsMonkey, investigates whether Ole Gunnar Solskjr is the worst Man Utd manager ever, and takes a look at his odds for the future. Times are tough for Man Utd supporters: the clubs form in the league has been poor and theres endle s go sip over their managers future. For a fanbase thats used to competing at the very top table, things have been grim for a while now and fortunes dont look like improving anytime soon.However, there seems to be a conflict of opinions on why the Red Devils are in such disarray at the moment. On one side you have experts who think that Ole Gunnar Solskjr is simply a poor manager who is out of his depth. On the other hand, there are those who think he is a victim of circumstance, with the buck stopping with a board who have been mismanaging the club for years.To get a better insight, Im going to take a look Jarrett Stidham Jersey  at the statistics to see if the Norwegian really is as bad as people are making out, or whether hes simply the latest in a line of doomed managers. Ill also take a look at the odds for his future at the club.
 What does Ole Gunnar Solskjrs record tell us?To get a sense of where Ole Gunnar Solskjr falls into the pyramid of modern Man Utd bo ses, lets take a look at his win ratio when compared to the clubs other Premier League-era managers (ratios correct at the time of writing).Alex Ferguson (19862013): 59.67%David Moyes (20132014): NFL New England Patriots Jersey  52.94%Louis van Gaal (20142016): 52.43%Jos Mourinho (20162018): 58.33%Ole Gunnar Solskjr (2018present): 47.50%As you can see, statistically, Ole Gunnar Solskjr has the worst win ratio of any Premier League era Man Utd manager. In terms of the number of games managed (40), hes closest to David Moyes (52), who managed to win over half of the games he oversaw but is generally remembered as one of the worst managers in recent memory.Looking beyond the Premier League, Ole Gunnar Solskjr is not the worst Man Utd manager. But to find a manager with a worse record you need to go back to the 1970s when the club was relegated to the old Second Division and underwent a barren period of silverware. During this time, Frank OFarrell (37.04%), Tommy Docherty (46.93%), and Dave Sexton (40.30%) managed the team to worse win ratios than Ole Gunnar Solskjr.Focusing back on the current situation, its po sible to compare the Man Utd bo ss record to other Premier League teams. While Solskjr won 14 of his 19 matches as caretaker manager, his record has been abysmal since being appointed permanently in March 2019.Just take a look at the bottom of the Premier League form table since that date:Newcastle Utd: P15 W5 D3 L7 = 18 ptsManchester Utd: P16 W4 D5 L7 = 17ptsSouthampton: P16  Cole Strange Jersey W4 D4 L8 = 16 ptsBrighton: P17 W2 D6 L9 = 12 ptsWatford: P16 W2 D4 L10 = 10 ptsThe clubs form since Solskjr became permanent manager puts them right above the relegation zone which, frankly, should not be an i sue for a club with the wage bill and transfer spend of Man Utd. According to Sky Sports , the club spent 148 million on transfers, just 5.6 million short of the combined total of the three clubs below them in the form table.Even if we limit the form to just this season, its the worst start the club has had in 30 years, when they picked up just seven points from nine games in the 198990 campaign under Alex Ferguson. That was the closest the now legendary manager came to the sack, but it came before the money and pre sure of the Premier League era  Solskjr wont receive the same amount of leniency.What are the odds for Solskjrs future?At the time of writing, Solskjr is currently second favourite to be the next Premier League manager to  Julian Edelman T Shirts get the sack, with odds of 3/1. He is only just behind Evertons Marco Silva at 5/4, who seems to be edging closer to the door at Goodison Park by the day. If Silva goes, Solskjr will probably be the new bookies favourite to be moved on.The bookmakers seem to think that Man Utd, in their current form under Solskjr, will not qualify for the Champions League, which is the minimum expectation at Old Trafford. Theyre only offering odds of 9/2 on the club finishing in the top four behind Man City (1/1000), Liverpool (1/1000), Arsenal (5/6), Chelsea (10/11), Tottenham (7/5), and even Leicester City (7/2).To put this into perspective, the bookmakers have Man Utd at 5/1 to finish in the bottom half of the table, which would be an unprecedented scenario for the club. In the Premier League era, the lowest that theyve finished is seventh under Jabrill Peppers Jersey  David Moyes, who, as we mentioned, currently has a better win ratio than Solskjr.Considering everything weve discu sed, I think its extremely likely that Solskjr will be sacked as Man Utd manager before the end of the season. Despite being a fan favourite, the squad is simply too expensive and talented to languish in its current position. Yes, there are mitigating factors, but its results that count so, unle s they improve rapidly, I cant see a long-term future for Ole.
