I'm with you, mate. Not saying they should all immediately get the boot. Rangnick seems very much like the kind of individual who will be shrewd and make his own call on who stays and who goes. Wouldn't be surprised if a few of them don't make the cut.
Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

He has knowledge of the players. Carrick and Phelan have knowledge of winning titles as player/coach and know the players. Rangnick has not worked in England. It makes sense.
Or maybe it's worth more to them to cultivate a good relationship with us.
You don't need three guys to tell you the same thing.
It also remains to be seen whether he knows 'how to get the best out of them"
Nobody.
We've spent shitloads and they're not gonna give an interim more money for players who a new manager may not want 6 months later.
We are big but we aren't successful. We have a potentially tricky board to work with. The pros and cons between Moscow and Manchester aren't that clear. If we were really attractive as a team Guardiola or Klopp would have accepted our offers. We need to stop this Liverpool in the 90s mindset and see the club for what it actually is.
Disagree, think we will absolutely target a midfrielder. Somebody like Zakaria who would be pretty affordable.
Squad of 23/4 players maybe they focus on 8 guys each build proper relationships. Maybe they divide training sessions in to attack/midfield/defence/goalkeeping and one guy looks each group. Modern football is full of specialists.
Bullshit, we love to buy players and you know it. Besides, some players are universal. If Kante or Casemiro-types are available in January, we buy them regardless of the manager don’t we.

So hyped up to finally have a tactical brain at United. Hopefully he drags our club kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
He's not just an interim manager. He'll have a big say in the club for the next 2.5 years at least.
I wonder who he'll get this January.
Remember we're talking about Kieran McKenna here, the guy who has been described as a 'school teacher' in his training methods.
I find it very odd that we're waiting for his Visa to clear when the official United credit card is powered by Mastercard.
After doing lot of reesearch on Ralf, I really feel it would have done lot of good to our club if we brought him and his entire coaching staff a few years back as a proper full time permanent manager with a chance of moving to consultancy role in recruiting team.
Still I am excited as he can use his network to bring in good players who can fit in to new manager's team with a long term plan. Hope he can havee a say on which manager we bring in next.

The fact that Rangnick wasn't currently managing means he probably didn't have a full group of coaches that would come with him. It was always likely that McKenna and Carrick would stick around until at least the end of the season, albeit at a reduced level of importance. That will give Rangnick time to see if they are worth keeping, and whichever full time manager we bring in will also likely have their own group of coaches so they can decide together where Carrick and McKenna fit in (if at all).
Phelan is the surprising one for me. I thought he'd be off now.
It doesn't matter because he'll be like remain injured for like 3 months and he'll another 3 for the end of the season and his contract
He wasn't just a consultant for them. He was their Manager of Sport and Development, basically their DoF.
Good point. Maybe he is short a few of his own having not been coming directly from another coaching role
I believe so, along with a video analyst.
Didn’t he just join? I doubt he’s left. Rangnick placed a huge emphasis on the importance of set pieces.
This is so much fun reading through
So what's the latest vis a vis the visa?
Oh, not at all! I actually expected us to lose badly and was pleasantly surprised. But calling that crap performance a "solid quality" is too much. We got a great result on luck, effort, and stars aligning.Sounds like you expected a whole change of tactics and miracles just because Ole left
His job was at Moscow Locomotiv. I am sure we are tripling his salary, at least and the prestige of turning United around is whole different level. But according to rumors he did stand his ground. I reckon more because he values his reputation and won't come if he doesn't feel he can be successful, than anything related to already having a job
e)boue
With Rangnick we might get some gems and inside info from the clubs RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig. Hopefully he will build a similiar scouting, recruiting and academy structure, which he already did for both RB clubs.
I'm really excited, he will surely finally bring some modern football structure in to the club.
Is he already in Manchester?

The same Zakaria who cant get in the Swiss national team is gonna solve all our midfield problems, yeh right, you read the Express too much.
That, if true, is already encouraging and in tune with the presentation of Rangnick as someone who constantly evolves in his thinking and approach. We shouldn't be stuck looking at the same options for two or three years.
1. Nowhere have I stated that one signing will solve our problems.
2. I don't read the fecking Express
3. Don't be a cnut.
What exactly does Phelan do other than model shorts every winter? What has been his impact since he arrived?Other than being Fergie's mate, i cannot see any justification in keeping him.
That bench is gonna be full.

He sees himself more as a club builder than a coach these days, so he would not have signed just for the interim job (he could have done exactly that for Chelsea last year and declined if rumuors about that can be believed). So once United promised him that powerful consultant role, he was on board, but only then as it sounds.
And success in the next 6 months will give him even more power. Exciting times for United fans.
This
Work permit plus he has to self isolate.
Don't see him taking charge till after the Palace game.

Have him do what the Czech president did
We can put up a glass box at Carrington
On paper it looks like a good run for him to identify the team and style moving forward... this must be the target this season. Find something that will suit the next permanent manager (who I hope is Erik Ten Hag).
We've no chance for the title and a small chance at a cup so the focus needs to be on the team shape, personnel and style. I wouldn't even mind if we missed out on the CL for a season for longer term success.
