That you’ve had to ask brought me both great sadness and joy.
So why even mention it?
To put in perspective that 2 managers have managed this very squad this season and have failed to get this team going.
So, what, we should have continued on with Ole? It was becoming toxic and untenable there's no way we could have continued
Both are awful coaches. Not like anyone of both were world beaters anyway.
The online fan base became toxic yeah, we had a terrible run and shocking results. The second half of the season has been just as bad
They weren't world beaters but neither were awful coaches. I'm by no means an Ole fan but even I can see through the bias, and Ragnick clearly is a decent coach. Either way back on topic, the reality is how the season has played out there probably arn't that many people better than Rangnick who has had half a seson with the squad to go upstairs and provide help during this rebuild.
Plus he has called these players out. No one else is going to do it. Now because of his calling out there are many changes going on.
You are my friend
Obviously Dortmund from a marketability standpoint are way behind United, but one can't argue against how effective they've been in the recruiting department. Top to bottom they are run very efficiently and their academy structure is pretty extensive.
Meh. For every 25m for a Bellingham, they spend 25m for an Emre Can.
True. But at least they move players on without affecting their bottom line and use that money to reinvest - something we couldn't seem to get right with the old regime in charge (Woody and Judge)
Oh we talking facts now, ok, lets do it then, you are comparing tenure of a guy who wasted 3 years of our lifes and 300 plus mil on a squad, squad thats wasnt coached, squad thats so unfit that guy after him couldnt use them to press more than 22 min, squad thats most desliked in United history vs a interim that couldnt get any bodies in during a transfer window, that didnt have any time early on, on training pitch (no preason as a bonus), squad that knew he wont be there for longer then few months, that started crying because he wanted them train more etc.
Now thats funny, sorry Rambo.
Yup he might not be a good manager but he’s been such an influence over the backroom and structure rebuild so far. Obviously Murtough heads that area but I’m sure Ralf’s have had an influence over this.
Wow. So what give it to Carrick till the end of the season? Be real. This club needs a revamp and a direction. And we hired the right guy, yes he might not be the dream manager who will resurrect our season but nobody could have done that.
He is not a consultant yet, just a failed coach.
What's with the ******* nonsense? You sound like a deranged child
Of course they could have. Quite easily in fact
Exactly. Rangnick **** in action.
It is kinda wild to see from an outsider's point of view. He's done awfully and is getting a complete pass from a lot of fans because of their dislike of the players.
I bet it is. We'd find it hilarious if it was one of our rivals.
And they liked those same players a year ago. It feels like they have to hate the players to absolve RR. But it's getting ridiculous now...
Have you ever done a post without the word **** in it? Grow up.
It’s those that were adamant all our previous woes we’re due to rubbish coaches and no tactics. Struggling to come to terms with the original German hipster tactician doing a really shit job.
How so? It is blatantly obvious what he has done, and that it is for the better. Ole has some results yes, but it was on the back of the players turning up and seeing if they can work some magic, meanwhile the club was moving backwards. Ragnick is very good at what he does, and given a clean start and the tools he delivers, he identified exactly what the issues were and he called them. The bluffers that we have at this club obviously did not like this and instructed their agents and PR people to spin it however they could. They played it well as people were then pointing the finger at RR citing his lack of recent management as the reason for performance on the pitch. This lot are absolute cowards and bluffers, and self preservation is their only concern. This club had stagnated prior to SAF leaving as his success papered over the cracks, our scouting network (do we have one ) is embarrassing and our training methods have declined since RM left. This club needed ripping up root and branch, RR allows what is required as do most of the fanbase (those with a semblance of intellect do anyway) and sadly most of the 300 million pound outlay which was meant to propel us forward will be part of that clear out. We are not Ragnick cultists we just see what he was and is doing, and that he has a clear vision on how to get us back where we should be.
Ole absolutely wasn't good enough and change was needed. Getting an interim is always risky business, and it simply hasn't worked with Ralf. The season has been a total and utter shit-show, and I've totally lost interest.
Our rivals have had a ball really. They thought Ole being here was peak-banter. Sigh.
I’m looking forward to having a proper manager next season. I’m just calling a spade, a spade. Or in this case, a rubbish manager as a rubbish manager. No amount of Ole finger pointing is going to change that. The number of excuses for this guy is comical, even your post is yet another veiled “yeah but ole..” type post, as most of yours tend to be.
I feel Rangnick was the first step in the right direction after a long string of mistakes, if he had actually got United into the top 4 like the owners wanted nothing would change with the team and the owners might have given Rangnick even more time, now Erik ten Hag comes in and Rangnick can advise him on which players aren't putting in their 100%, who isn't good enough, etc and ETH seems like someone who isn't going to bend to the player's or owner's whims.
