Short memories on here. When Ole took over from Jose we were 6th and finished 6th.
We finished 3rd the following season, largely because Bruno Fernandes arrived in January and transformed the team, we were struggling before then.
The season after that we finished 2nd, but team performances were already declining, and we relied on individual moments from Bruno. By 2021–22 it fell apart which led to Ole being sacked.
Bruno covered over a lot of the cracks in Ole’s managerial tenure which explains why he currently doesn’t have a club.

Just so I'm clear, we finished 3rd and then 2nd?

He won 14 out of 19 games as interim. I didn't want him as full time manager but that's some run.
Also, that's one massive crack that Bruno covered, 3rd and 2nd placed finishes in 2 full years in charge.
Again, I'm not advocating for him to be full time manager, far far from it. But it's like night and day to what I've just been watching for the last 14 months.

LOL Grim, Bruno arrived bit cracks me up! Not even Bruno was signed but he arrived? Some credit at least to who signed him?
Just like angelred said, I am also not advocating for ole, in my case just reacting to your comment.

Nobody's calling for him as a permanent choice.

Always love this one way bruno love in, when we come 2nd or 3rd its because bruno covered all the cracks and dragged us their almost single handedly.
When we come 15th its only because of Bruno that we didn't get relegated.
Maybe just maybe, the overall team has something to do with it.
