He played something like 6 games for RBL then said Utd was his dream so a January move could be on the cards

the Rang is pronounced like hung
There's a reason why we had to make so many comebacks in the first place.
This will be how everyone pronounces it if he ends up flopping.
Works perfectly for us as he is both RB and midfielder.
Yeah me too, Feels like DvB would be one of the players tailor-made for Rangnick.
The club needs a fresh break from Woodward. Under him, we've basically become contented with top 4 and signings are delayed late into the window because it's much easier to show off social media wankery to potential sponsors than actually winning trophies.
If the articles are to be believed, Arnold knows he's not a football guy and doesn't intend to stick his nose in it and would rather just hire someone competent to handle that side of the business. That's the kind of thing that we needed from Woodward 10 years ago, but instead he stuck in nose where he didn't belong and set the club back with feck ups after feck ups. The further he stays away from the club, the better.
Is Ole still in charge?
Well, it's a letdown for people who expect Rangnick to fix the team in a matter of months. Realistically it's going to take some time to get the team to a level where we can compete against big teams, people should be more excited about the fact that our new signings, tactics, playstyle, etc will have a philosophy behind them instead of signing players and benching them and doing stuff randomly like some of our managers have done post-SAF's retirement. While Rangnick is the manager he can take a good look at which players aren't pulling their weight and which players are actually good enough and when he goes higher up in the management he can make good decisions based on what he sees in the team.This is set up for an epic letdown!
I'm extremely excited about it though. It seems like the first time we've actually made a good, forward-looking decision. But how likely is it that he's going to drastically change this team the way it's been hyped up in the media? We have a packed schedule, a group of players who are bang out of form, and hardly any time on the training field.
Not sure
What is Amadou Haidara like as a player?
All been after him in the same way that many top clubs have been after Mourinho, Sven Goran Erikson though? In and of itself it’s not a guarantee of success.
Is he any good!?! big clubs aren’t after him!
*shows big clubs are after him*
Yeah but many top clubs have been after Mourinho, Sven Goran Erikson though? In and of itself it’s not a guarantee of success. *moves goal posts*
No chance Donny is leaving unless Donny really wants out himself
If some of those tweets don't already tell you these reporters often fill their reports with guesstimated details. There's no way rangnick or his camp told any of these things being floated.
No manager who's organized in possession will look at our midfield options and have VDB as the first departure, especially not before holding a training session.

So his name is also @Rado_N ’s nickname
Hungnick's hunks?
Imagine the alternate universe where RR came in right after Fergie: we’d never have turned into the shambles we are. Watching Arsenal take Rodgers’ Leicester apart right now, still fearful our board will try and get Rodgers, it’s true to form for them.
No way they be bringing in Ralf to then do something brainless like that, can't see it, seems a massive change in the back ground about us now to do things the way big clubs are meant to do it.
RT, you’re really failing to appreciate how sexy those frames are.True
But I'm not gonna lie, he sounds a bit rubbish based on your description. I reckon most the hype surrounding this guy is because he wears glasses. There wouldn't be half the interest If he was a fat bald guy from Didsbury.
Remove the specs, remove the hype.
I don't want to see Rodgers here either but pretty sure Arsenal played Newcastle earlier and Leicester ain't playing till tomorrow?
Watching a recorded game.
I think people are mistaking what Rangnick's tactics are. He's not a possession manager at all. We will be compact and teams will find it incredibly difficult to have the ball in our half. We'd spring counter after counter due to this. He does like a press, but it doesn't mean our attackers will be pressing 100 percent of the time. That's what the box formation is for, sometimes ronaldo will shift deeper so bruno presses with Rashford or Sancho shifts up so rashford can rest. Our full backs will not be sitting high up the pitch because our attacks will be too quick to look for an overlap consistently. AWB will not have a problem in this formation, as the full backs are actually more in a flat back 4 than in a wing back spot. The chance creation is meant to come from the front 4 almost exclusively, hence the 2 playmakers. It reminds me more of Rodgers at Liverpool in 2014, but with a more compact defence.

Never signed Neuer, never even gave him a single appearance.
Never signed Haaland, didn’t even manage him.
Alaba was only a loan.
Smith Rowe was only a loan and he played him for under 40 minutes the entire time, it was a terrible signing.
You know you’re stretching when you have to claim those.
Wasn't he the DOF when Salzburg signed Haaland? But other than that you're right.
No, he was managing Leipzig.
The same season they were in the same CL group as Salzburg actually. So fairly sure you’re not allowed to sign players for opposition teams.
He resigned in 2015 from Salzburg but the team he put in place signed Haaland. He also gave Neuer appearances in 2011 when he took over from Felix Magath mid-season.
Don’t cry mate
Is he going to be in charge for Arsenal?
As long as you pronounce the 'a' like a Spanish 'a' as in 'Arteta' you are fine.
outstanding
Dear all,
I'm writing only because a dream of mine might come true: Ralf Rangnick, for the first time ever, might get a team of top talented players, where he can implement his style of football.
I love the game of football more than a single club. When Barca whipped the floor with my Bayern team back then, I couldn't deny the fact that this was almost perfect football.
In the same sense: If I had one football wish left, it was always seeing Ralf Rangnick taking over a team full of experienced talent in order to execute his style of football. He never had that. He always did amazing things with teams that were limited by talent and/or experience, but this one finally could be different. I simply would love to see how this turns out!
PS: I wanted RR over Hansi Flick to take over the German national team. And still I do.

So you're saying Rangnick is not a self-loving fraud? The resident Bayern fans contingent will be here to excommunicate you shortly.
Can he bring us Haaland?
Hopefully.
They don't have a close relation or something like that, so on that level I don't think it makes a difference. However United might become more interesting when they can show him a strategy how to win the CL. I'm quite sure that this is what Haaland wants to achieve more than anything else, so he needs to trust his next club to be able to do that.
I know he hasn't got the trophies of Valverde, however he provides us much more in terms of a proper structure. So refreshing to hear a manager who hates sidewards passing as well.
