A bigger problem than the clubbing/missing training thing is the way he seems unable to leave his personal thoughts on the sidelines and give 100% effort whilst on the pitch. Sadly you can see it every time he's asked to play centre-forward, and every time he senses a manager might be on the way...

VAR is actually showing refs to have less genuine knowledge of the game than I gave them credit for.

OK :)

Are you OK? I most certainly didn't start off by saying that RR was a better manager than Ole - unless you can find a quote that suggests otherwise? All along I have literally just been arguing that your assertion that RR was 'much worse' than Ole is wide of the mark. Just that. You've skated...

eh? Do weeks start on a different day in Egypt?!

Ole marginally higher win %, RR marginally higher points per game = they were both shite. Are you Norwegian by any chance? Just wondering why you seem so wound up about this?

Speak for yourself - I fecking hate international breaks and am buzzing for Saturday night. If you really feel like this then maybe it's time to step away?

For god's sake man, all I have done is taken issue with your claim that RR was 'much worse' than Ole. You haven't managed to produce any 'mountains of evidence', not least the most useful bit of all - points per game. Even if we discount the point awarded for the FA Cup game that you are so...

I presume you apply this same rigid logic to his time at Cardiff?

And yet the team managed more points per game than they were doing under Ole in the first half of the season? Just admit they were both shite that season and we can both get on with our lives :lol: Well, plus Casemiro, Antony, Eriksen and Malacia - other than that you are spot on. But don't try...

That you have decided to contribute to :lol: . When comparing managers we don't usually look to the first 6 months of the outgoing manager's record - that would be weird.

I haven't even made that argument (in fact I don't think you'll find anyone saying he was a 'good fit for United' so why claim otherwise?), I literally just asked what metric you were using to claim that RR was 'much worse' than Ole, given that his points per game were higher than Ole's were for...

Wrong again, Footystats includes all comps. What's your source for the stuff I've bolded?

According to footystats.org Ole's stats for 2021/22 were fewer points per game than Rangnick. And Ole was in his fourth season at United. Rangnick had 6 months and feck all money. Not sure how you come to the conclusion that RR was 'far worse'?

Agreed, and I don't want to underplay that amidst all of my criticism above. He did the job he was brought in to do initially exceptionally well.
