I don't think Ogden knows a lot tbf. He was the one that that was pushing the Rodgers as the #1 target narrative.
Yeah, he's been out of the loop since the Moyes days.

Those Klopp comments really convey a sense of optimism for where we're heading. Let's hope he delivers.

:lol: Klopp saying United will be organized on the pitch now. So much shade thrown at Ole even when he's gone...

The strays coming at Ole might as well be from a ballistic missile at this point...

It’s funny I listened to one of those Duncan Castles podcast and he spent the first 2-3 minutes patting him self on the back talking about how he broke the Ole news, and how back in Sept he was the only journo who said the Glazers were not happy with the football….. podcast was posted a few hours before Rangnick was announced and not once did he mention Rangnick, only thing he mentioned was that United preferred it to be Carrick to the end of the season.
Ha not at all surprised. Him and Ian 'you heard it here first' McGarry are a pair of shameless self-promoting spoofers

Took the Caf and others way too long to realise that we hired a complete noob.
Plenty here said so.

It's also taking the caf way too long that the club's dysfunctionality is part of the Glazer business model, not some accident of incompetence. Ralf has his work cut out.

The good thing about things like this is our players will see it, and even those who don't know Rangnick will be thinking: 'Klopp rates this guy? Gotta be something to him.'

Klopp is not going to say anything else than that he rates him when asked about it in a press conference. But if you read between the lines, the anecdote about how Rangnick used to call him about opposition info could give you a hint of just how much Klopp regards Rangnick as his "mentor", "teacher" or philosophical "godfather"..

Queiroz was assistant then - and he was credited by Neville for masterminding the defensive display over the two legs against Barcelona.
Yes, and Phelan was a coach, just as McKenna is now. It’s why I also added that Phelan even went on to win league titles once promoted to assistant.

So if McKenna is proven shit by our performances, doesn’t that also work the other way? In that Phelan is a proven CL and PL winning top coach?

I dream of Nagelsmann coaching Man Utd someday. He's a young guy, plenty of time for that to become a reality in the future.

I liked Jose (still do, actually) but there were loads of reasons why appointing him when we did was an idiotic idea.
Like I say was far too young when Fergie walked through the doors, as for LVG I wasn't sure what to expect with that one

Did you see what De Bryune said about facing us?
"Before United, Pep said: 'We don't know how they are going to play. We shall see'. And we stopped training after 10 minutes or so.”

"Often Pep knows how the opponent is going to play. This time he didn't know, so he didn't know what to do. We have done what we always do, but he didn't know beforehand if they would play with 5 at the back. With four. A diamond in the middle. With 3 upfront."

Hmm...maybe laying the groundwork for a future move abroad for him if he wants RR here long term?

Been wondering this myself. Seen it happening with Leipzig obviously in a similar situation.
I believe Adnan was saying earlier on how Rangnick wanted to improve on Hasenhüttl with Nagelsmann for the following season and Hasenhüttl promply left in the middle of the season, which meant Rangnick had to jump in as interim before Nagelsmann was hired.
