Sat next to the monitor is a bottle of whiskey, an Ash tray and a big ass cigar. You just know that rooms going to be smoked out within 15 minutes.why do i picture a very angry german screaming at a monitor for an hour straight?

That image would fit Schalke's former manager Rudi Assauer, not his head coach Ralf Rangnick, but they were a great duo for the club

sounds like my kind of guy!Pretty sure managers having good relationship with each other exchange information, knowledge on regular basis.
Humility and shame isn't something that's really shown in the German leagues, so I wouldn't expect you to have those two qualities. Actually, German clubs tend to lick their own spit off of the floor more often than not. But what Klopp was feeling was a feeling of being proud. He was proud and excited that his senior was reaching out to him.
Is it just me or is the English media hyping him up way too much already? I’m sure they will be the first ones to call him a flop or something one or two weeks in.
It's so funny because if there's a personification of the German inferiority/superiority complex and small league syndrome in football, it is exactly Ralf Rangnick
It's like you actually hired @Zehner to be your new manager because you liked his posts about modern tactics and German coaching so much
Bit moody today?
Go check what the Germans think of him then.
Remember reading all these training changes when we hired Van Gaal, hopefully this time it will be different.
And he acknowledged Rangnick won the league, he didn't. Surely he got some advice in exchange for his insights into the other teams, so he had every rights to be happy that he was seen as a valuable contact by the guy steamrolling the league.
With LVG there were also a lot of horror stories, and how his football is outdated, and how he rubs players the wrong way. Many many stories came to light when he signed for us
You are tribal, we're correcting wrong information. That's a difference. There are enough sticks to beat the Bundesliga with (one horse league, boring, etc.), there's no need to make things up and then be butthurt when people call out your stupidity.
LvG did manage to implement his style though. Unfortunately it just bored most of us to death and for a number of reasons, did not work out in the end.
If you look at the examples in the PL. Klopp, Tuchel, Hassnhutl - they all are in the mould of Rangnick. The Germans rate him even higher than the English.
The English media? No way!!!
He set us back 3 years

One of the big problems for LVG is that his style and system relies on a group of extremely skilled and creative forwards and we didn't have them which meant that all the good work done from defense to midfield reached a dead end in the last third. And LvG has always been teriible when it comes to suggesting signings, so our non-existent structure couldn't save his skin.
To be frank, none of the managers post SAF developed and elevated us. I blame the Board for this, especially Woodward. Hopefully, this time around we are finally moving in the right direction.
We need someone to take the piss out after RR wins us the treble.
LvGs approaches were outdated. Rangnick has always been progressive and very much on the pulse. Very different situations.
I've been spelling it Gengenpress too. In my head it's like Genghis Khan does Gangham style.

And you're really, truly, allowed to call it counter-press, too. It's not actually a German invention no matter what is being claimed whenever a German manager gets hired
Why will Bruno have hard time when his work rate is very good, oh wait ESPN.
