+ Mourtough was thinking Ralf was his dreamlady. Have a crush and big admirer of of him for a long time.
Ralf said to Mourtough. If you want to marry me. You get to give me a two years consultant role.
+ Mourtough to Ralf : "I agree. As long as you marry me. I give you everything you want.
But after marrying. That dreamlady and the marriage doesnt turn out like Mourtough was dreaming about. A disaster of a marriage.
+ Then came Ten Hag into this relationship. Ralf seem he doesnt get and will not influence, power and no respect from players. He decide to leave. And Mourtough and club agree with it.
So Mourtough, Ralf and United is a story like marriage. We think and fantasy how that person will be in the relationship. But the reality is totally different. It was so ours imaginations and dreaming. A dreamlady turn out to be disaster. For Mourtough. Ralf was the dreamlady and ideal lady for him and United.
That is how i see it. Not only in football. Relationship, marriage and life in general. Perfect in theory, but different in practise.
And another thing is. How can you think and be sure a Dof. Who hasn't work direct and closer with the players. The link between the players. Theirs mentality. If Ralf is just a Dof. More of an office guy. No got direct involved with the players.
It like a manager at a restaurant or a DOF at a restaurant trying to be master chef. Who run and have and make all the decisions on the cusine/kitchen. Yeah its, totally different. Special if you have't been on the kitchen to work direct with the ingredients and cusine's assitant.
It would never turn out to be good this Ralf appointment. Not a chance. It take years and years to become a really good masterchef.
A masterchef have a manager who order the ingredients for him. Because he is so so busy on the kitchen. A business manager trying to be a masterchef. Not possible. But it takes a lot of years and time. Same with Ralf. He wasn't a masterchef or head coach.
So who do you trust most to make you the best meal and a football result? A head coach or a consulant role guy = a more office guy. Who is not working direct with the ingredients. In the football worlds. The ingredients is the players. And if the the head coach and masterchef doesn't get the best ingredients in the market. Against others top masterchef and restaurant. He will be done too.
So everything is depends and related to each others. Like a spider web of relations and depenence.
If we think our human ego can alone run the business and cuisine. Then soon or later ours ego will drive us against the wall. And we hit the reality.
One of the thing to key success. Like Ten Tag said. Togetherness. Believe more in we than ours ego. Because of me and because of me. Ours big ego "I"
There are many puzzles and factors that lead to the bigger picture = success.
And luck is one of that big factor. Luck is one of the big puzzle.
Yeah Liverpool were better than Real Madrid
Bayern Munich were better than United in 1999. But to go all the way. The different between two really strong teams. Its all about luck. You get ladyluck on your sites.
In the end i am not blaming on someone. Like i said. Its like a domino effect. Before Mourtough and Ralf. It was Woodward and Ole...and keeps going back like that.
But again. What we wish and want. Its just ours imaginations. But reality are and will turn out to be a lot of different. Mourtough, United and Ralf wasnt a good marriage. Its over and lets move on. Zero your mind and live in the present. We use to dream and expect a lot. My dreamlady.
