That so many get wrong. Knowing what and what not to do is a huge skill. making things overly complicated for players when the solution is sometimes more simple.
Man management is the biggest part of the game in my opinion
Id agree man management is one of the biggest parts of the job. Now you mention it, my gut is to disagree it is THE biggest, but its something Id need to mull over.
Its a complicated job. Man management is a massive thing, but so is spotting talent, so is setting a team up tactically, so is training players to understand what they need to do and when, so is balancing the needs of now vs the needs of the future...
And Im not sure which Id suggest is the most important. I think they all are as a first instinct.
If any one of them is missing, or really lacking, a manager will only go so far (and often fail).
So far, basic common sense is all there is to show for Solskjaer. Not really something to crow about, IMHO.
That other managers have lacked it is more to their detriment than Oles credit, for me.
Id want to see much more of the above before lauding Solskjaers managerial ability. Until then he is very much in the "wait and see" camp, for me.
