True that. Though I'm now reading that RR described Ronaldo as "too old" for him to sign. In 2016
Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

I'm pretty optimistic about this, I think he could be the right guy, and those players do care, but ffs make mistakes with this guy he will tear you a new one, and that's what has been needed . No more mr nice guy. . Let's see .
Is this real? Not sure if I'm too impressed. Godfather this, Godfather that, he's not the one who won though.
ignore him. he’s just super upset that bayern has a wish version of the lord and saviour of german football. the one man responsible for each of their world cup wins. the man who ensures the best german built team in the world will now reside outside of germany.
Not sure if you've been drinking, but how come Arsenal, Spurs, Everton and Milan all turned down this legend?
Ralf's gonna win us the Champions League and then collapse while celebrating with a torn hamstring
He rejected Milan, not the other way round.Not sure if you've been drinking, but how come Arsenal, Spurs, Everton and Milan all turned down this legend?
Yes there's is pessimism about anyone, and optimistim from some, the latter will come from the ones who know a lot more of him. I'm optimistic because it's a more experienced guy and won't take any crap. Let's see how it goes
You know when we’ve got something right when you have a little peek over at RAWK and Bluemoon and there’s a combination of posters shitting themselves and others trying to convince them it’s a terrible decision. All over the shop.
I realize that German managers are in high demand, but hiring Rangnick now is about the equivalent of Arsenal signing Podolski when Germany was starting to produce all this amazing young talent.
I don't want to be that guy but even Ole has higher tactical knowledge.
@Adnan made a good point earlier that I never really considered. I do think hiring Ralf as the interim suggests Poch will be who we pursue in the summer, doesn't look like it will be Ten Hag.
Rangnick followed by Ten Hag would if nothing else, be the board listening to the overwhelming preference of the fans. We know the club are fully aware of fan opinion on social media.
If nothing else, this is a positive.

What's @Godfather done to annoy you??
He made me an offer I could refuse.
how so? Would you say Poch’s style fits the blueprint more than ETH?
The logic is that he has what we need. The most surprising thing is that the club management have recognised that. The big question is whether they will allow him to deliver in the face of commercial interests. Like will he be allowed to drop Ronaldo?
Chelsea and AC Milan recently tried to hire him so he is clearly highly rated still. It's an interim role until the summer with him moving upstairs afterwards, there is nothing to be negative about with this move.
He's not though... He's got more than 6 months. That's the point! And that's why it makes so much sense.
It's an interim position and probably the best we could have done in the circumstances.
Manchester United fans on A Manchester United forum are excited about a solid interim appointment. Shock. Horror. How dare they.
Our football is about to become better than football in itself.
It wouldn't surprise me if we approach Adi Hutter, who is exactly the type of coach who Rangnick likes.

As I discussed with Adnan initially - there are aspects of Ralf's approach that obviously would benefit ETH, like the high intensity pressing/counter pressing etc. but he did make the point that the approach is a little more 'rock n' roll' rather than calculated build up.
I'm not sure though - I guess it really depends on how much influence he will really be able to have in the short to medium term.
Like Bielsa, never won anything
Great news in my opinion.
Just hope we get Ten Hag or another attack minded manager in the summer.

Give it a rest already
I don't think anyone can force him to not drop Ronaldo, but honestly I don't even think it will be his aim to drop Ronaldo, it will be his aim to organize the team around him to make up for the lack of against the ball committment that a player like Ronaldo naturally signifies. Ronaldo has amazing capabilities of historical greatness in an area that is of utmost importance - scoring goals -, would be dumb to not use those.
That post was the pinnacle, I can rest easy now.
Thank feck Ragnick accepted then, Garcia would have been a hugely underwhelming appointment.
Agree with this.
I'm sure you can see the irony in there
I liked your comparison, to be fair
Can someone explain why everyone thinks this means we will get Ten Hag in the summer? Is he another Rangnick disciple?
Yes.
Interesting suggestion I guess he might be to low profile for the United board, but surely he is someone coming from the RB universe, so there is a connection. Has won titles in Austria and Switzerland and in Germany he has a quite good big game record with (upper) midtable teams. Just now the 5-0 cup win against Bayern as the prime example.
He is here for 6 months as manager, you should be more excited for the 2 years after. Oh wait, you are a Bayern fan, I dont need to explain to you. Yes us United fans know nothing, we just suffer in silence.
Age is just a number, it is what he brings to our next chapter. This club has only ever tried to plaster over cracks, Gaal and Jose were that and Ole was hope and a good story. RR is a strategy, quote me in 2 years if I am so far off the truth
.Ragnick is portrayed like some footballing god on here right now, not really sure his underwhelming career is worth this hype… but I am very excited for a change. So incredibly tired of the lack of competence the last years, the new guy is obviously a professor of the game - for good and bad. He is obviously some sort of eccentric weirdo with all his strange career choices, let’s see if he can handle the media pressure at a huge club - he has never been at one… and let’s see if he can handle superstars, he’s never done it before. Ask Ronaldo to press like Firmino, can’t end well for both.
Ten Hag is the disciple of Cruyff and the total football concept.
Yes, I also don’t understand the link some people on this forum are making between Ten Hag and Rangnick, the only connections seem to be that they are ‘system’ coaches from neighbouring, Germanic language speaking countries, and that Ten Hag coached Bayern Munich 2.
Pochettino’s style seems to be closer to Rangnick.
