What's the fuss about?

Won the league with molde back to back, but not last year. The Norwegian league is nothing like the premier league, it's very difficult to come over here and do well even if you are used to managing at the very highest level, let alone joining a struggling club with issues. Who actually knows anything about how Molde play? Would anyone be looking twice had he not been a successful premier league player?

IMO the only reason he'd take the Cardiff job is because he doesn't know how long his stock will be high enough to command a premier league job, much like lambert when he left for villa.

Solskjaer is a likeable guy who's done a decent job in Norway, that doesn't make him any better qualified than malky and equally likely to end in relegation.
