I dont think he ruined the team in a few months. He was definitely out his depth. The players realised this and they also knew he is not going to be the manager so they stopped trying.
The players stopped trying even before he stepped foot inside carrington.

Read the leaks. Most players had given up long before the season finished, ronaldo was ready to quit in jan.

Rangnick FC are strangely quiet now.
What's this Rangnick FC? It was plain obvious that Rangick will have hard time to turn it around. The shit show was already on display when Ole took charge and the board never given any help to Rangnick.

Rangnick never got the coaches or even a player to turn it around and let's not forget half the team wanted out because of Ole mismanagement but its Rangnick's fault?

The only other player apart from Ronaldo that was performing for Rangnick was Greenwood but he got arrested and the board was not willing to give him an attacker.

So where is this Rangnick FC? The board ended the season in late November and it is now portraying its all Rangicks fault. The club is deflecting their blame to Rangnick and won't accept its fault. Even till this day it is said Ole reign was a success. However, Gary Neville just said not one player improved for the last 3 years.

There is no Rangnick FC, people are just fed up with bullshit deflection instead of trying to improve.

All Ralf had to do was steady the ship and get top 4. That was it, that was what he was hired for. He failed utterly.

Who claims that he didnt fail? Also, him getting top 4 would be what? a success, a non failure?

The board being a useless bunch of wankers and Rangnick being the wrong person for them to have appointed does not mean he wasn't very bad at his job. Motivation, tactics, training, substitutions all seemingly pretty shite.

It would be job well done and definitely success for an interim manager. It would have made ETH's job much easier.

Reaching top 4 would be job well done, Christ no wonder we are in this mud last 10 years, Arsenal mindset. Also him reaching top 4 would probably mean no ETH now.

I said for an interrim manager. Considering the context of that season. Also, considering how far behind we are from the likes of Liverpool, City, even Chelsea, what is YOUR belief that success should be? Because if I said that rangnick getting top 4 was a failure for our club, you would say my expectations were far too unrealistic considering the shit show of that season.

I don't get your point, he failed utterly, he did worse than Ole. His fans continue to do his work for him and try to absolve him of any blame. The one who failed tactically, managerially, and coaching wise...was him!

He lost the players when he started throwing them under the bus, and the dressing room when he would rather trust some guy on a laptop thousands of miles away in Russia than our own analysts. No wonder Erik distanced himself from him as he truly wants a fresh start for the club.

Regardless of league position, start clearing the rot that was set in, changing culture and start habbits towards change style of play. Sadly muppet decided to sell out his way for chasing top 4, thats why fecker failed, he clearly has no idea outside his own ways.

How did he do worse? Ole was humiliated not just by the results and the performances, but by a player saying that they didn't even bother to do a tactical analysis against us. I think that's the lowest point of the club the last 40 years.

Without context he did worse than Ole but with context he didnt, Ole after 3 wasted years left us in such a deep shit but that was discussed 100 times.

You're actually right for once.


Thank God, we didnt give him 3 years & 300 mil. to waste, say in all harmful contract extensions and all pre seasons just so he could leave us bunch of unfit (that cant press more than 20min), uncoached group of feckers, that would be a disaster.

Yeah the state the club is in was entirely Ole's fault. Seems a reasonable view. And it has a bearing on how shit a job Rangnick did of course. Oh look, a dog.

Then again Interim Ole blows Interim Ralf out of the water by some country lightyear.

Ten Hag is the manager now, lets focus on him.

Nobody claimed otherwise, even thoo ending of that interim period wasnt that good at all.

State of the club wasnt discussed, things that actually happened were mentioned, those are not a views. You should go after that dog.

So any of the Ralf apologists ready to admit they were wrong?

Ten Hag did in 2 weeks what Rangnick couldn't do in 6 months.

If "Rangnick won't be listened to because he's an interim" had been a popular opinion in December 2021 then that would be an acceptable claim now. Since it wasn't, it can be treated as the poorly thought-out excuse that it is.

I wonder why people can't discuss topics without always thinking in affiliations. I swear you can't discuss anything here without being labelled an "xyz" apologist/fan boy/brigade/whatever cheeky terms people come up with.

Its extremely frustrating. The constant bumping of this thread seems silly as well.
We have Ten Hag now. We should just celebrate and move on.

Cult of Ralf will be here any moment to tell us all is totally fine and that he has successfully managed to expose the frauds in the Austrian NT.

Not a fan of his, but to be fair to him, the last 5 games have been vs France X2, Denmark X2 and Croatia - all teams rated much higher than Austria
This. They look a handful yesterday despite the fact we beat them. They would be crazy to sack him.

It is.
It's just funny because the win was the first game, and lots of people made a big deal out of it.

Of course it was stupid from the people who made a big deal out of those wins. But better to call them out instead. Ofcourse Rangnick is a fraud, and a pretty good fraud, but it's something all of us know

Not really anything to go by, their competition has been the World Cup Winners France + the World Cup runner-ups Croatia + One of Europe's best teams at the moment: Denmark.
