If we're hiring DoFs then no we can do better. If it's a decision in a vacuum between Murtough and him then yes. Look whose assessment on our state is getting vindicated. So called captain obvious suggestions that were so obvious that we did the complete opposite.
Would you take Rangnick back (As a DOF and NOT a manager)?
- Thread starter Sir Erik ten Hag
- Start date
I don't understand what some United-supporters sees in him, he pointed out obvious problems with the squad? Yeah, but i mean, anyone could do that.
Nope
I guess the current structure didn't get the memo then
Wasn't that suppose to be the original plan? Think ten Hag didn't want to work with him.
He warned us that the manager couldn't build a team alone. After some of these transfers Ten Hag needed a DoF more than anyone at the club.
No.
In hindsight maybe we should have kept him as an advisor. We definitely need a powerful DoF at this moment to sort out the mess. Ship has sailed for Ralf though.
I agree we need a DOF, Ragnick maybe the one, I don't really know, but the question is irrelevant if ten Hag refuses to work with him.
Certainly not. Never understood the fuss about this guy and his tenure at United was disastrous.
He is good at building up smaller clubs. He should go to Salford or FC United.
Ten Hag is not Fergie, we can't give him complete control. Our director of football is Murtough, and Rangnick was supposed to be a consultant. Why is our manager deciding whether Rangnick should consult Murtough or not?
Murtough and Rangnick were apparently barely speaking by the end of the season, the ten Hag line seems like a convenient excuse to end it tbh.
This exactly.
Plus as far as I read, Ralf wants quite a lot of power before accepting a job. Wasn't that, what prevented him from getting a similar job at Milan?
100% I would, I thought he was great. It was Erik that didn't want him.
ETH got rid of him because of him saying the players are rubbish/owners are shite . Now ETH is starting to realise he was right
Absolutely not.
Haha this is such a random plug for Marina.
Id rather we went looking for someone new to fill our roles instead of continuing to eat out of the proverbial bin.
I for one don't think Marina Granovskaia is random at all.
No! ETH isnt to blame for the non stop individual errors blighting our play and neither is he to blame for the injury problems. The injury probs will sort themselves out but I wish I could say the same for the constant cock ups. ETH needs time, sacking him now, next year or at the end of the season wont help anybody.
He would want full control and under glazers that's not happening. It will just be ugly.
She did a fantastic job at Chelsea not just in negotiating transfers but also commercial deals.
Hmm, I hadn't heard that. It does still baffle me, though. Although Murtough is experienced, Rangnick is much more experienced and has more connections. I would happily have Rangnick in place of Murtough. Maybe Arnold wanted an Englishman who knows the national youth setup to be our DOF.
The premise of this is laughable to begin with.
Ralf isn't hot property. That's why he landed in a mediocre international job. I don't even think that's to do with his abject failure as our interim manager. He just isn't that sought after, football moves on and if you haven't done anything lately not many are going to care about a few decent gigs for Red Bull. Ralf Rangnick is a fairly mediocre DOF candidate at this stage of his career. The top candidates are those excelling at current clubs in the role, with a demonstrable recent history of adding huge value to their clubs in the market. Particularly strong candidates would have a profile for a club of a similar stature, but probably not an absolute as long as the track record is near faultless.
Ralf needs to be put out to pasture. He's nothing special and was absolutely horrendous here so it is very confusing to me that some people keep harping on about him just because he delivered some supposedly "brave" home truths. Who cares, it's what you deliver and he hasn't delivered much here or elsewhere in recent times.

I feel like she was ok - Chelsea bought a lot of bad players alongside the good ones and paid big contracts. More random because she’s tied to Roman so it’s not like she’s someone who has moved around and is an actual ‘candidate’ for these jobs.
He's also suggested several players to the club including Nkunku who the club apparently didn't have a report on. The club decided not to sign any of his suggested players.
He'd do a better job than Murtough although he's probably not the best in class (anymore) that we should be looking for.
No chance of him returning when he called out United what they were and for the likes of Murtough the truth hurt.
She isn't and since leaving Chelsea their transfer business has been like throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks.
This is a great answer, instead of looking at Villa or Brighton, Dortmund
I’ve so little faith in everyone currently above the manager that I’d be up for giving someone on here a stab at it
Why not? At this point I'd back myself to do a job for us.
Brilliant, 3 mid table mediocre teams. Perfect.
I would take anyone over Ten Hag right now. His player I.D is questionable to say the least.
Oh feck off you muppet.
That's exactly why he should have been listened to
Yeah no point getting a DOF unless those leeches sell up and feck off,very much like there is zero point in sacking Erik either
I don’t know enough about Ralf to know whether he possesses the requisite genius for the job, but I am convinced the new owner needs to clean house.
But we may stuck with the Glzaers for years. Many years.

People on here really saying they wouldn't take Ralf over Murtough?
