Most clubs probably do hire outside consultants regularly, because that’s the kind of thing well run businesses do. That’s aside the reasonable suggestion that this consultancy gig was actually related to work permit issues and how difficult it would have been to hire Ralf on a 6 month deal.

Fecking seriously?
Cool. I’ve seen disgraces. United’s twitter is not it.
Yeah I don’t really get this. It’s fairly placid middle of the road corporate Twitter.
Only on the pitch. Commercially it's been a huge success.
What did it say it's been deleted seemingly
Something like, Erik Ten Hag close to winning title with Ajax after two draws, Ajax and PSV yesterday.
That just means you're ignorant.
I saw that on Facebook earlier that half an hour ago. I commented then they are jumping the gun a bit. Maybe out social media crew want to go out with a bang.
It's the CEO that makes the hiring not the DOF, in this case the only particularity is that Rangnick and Murtough have a past professional relationship, so he allegedly advised to pick him but this tells you nothing other than they know each other. Now most top clubs have technical directors or consultants, that's actually what makes United so peculiar since the club is strangely light at the top, very often it's an inside appointment similar to Fletcher but you have cases like Barcelona hiring Braida, there is of course Leipzig with Houllier(he has also done it for Lyon) and Rangnick, Both of them became consultants for Mintzlaff, in the case of Houiller it's particularly interesting since Mintzlaff replaced Houllier but kept him as consultant, then Houiller was replaced by Rangnick at some point. Real Madrid used to have Zidane a long time ago, both Barcelona and Ajax have had Cruijff in a similar role(or what should be similar).
I will find you now!
What was it about?
Constantly amazed at how people can come to such clear conclusions without having a clue what goes on behind closed doors.
Agree. To much nonsens in social media.
They've deleted it.
It fits their agenda. Just because Murtough was given the job, people think he is not capable without any sort of explanation.
or not an old man yelling at clouds
Erik ten Hag is on the brink of Dutch silverware blah, blah, and picture of Erik.
If the club had any sense, they'd introduce a limitation or ban on players, or any other member of staff, from making social media posts, tweeting or whatever, on any footballing related matters or anything to do with Utd, unless pre-approved.
It is if they will agree to it. Aren't the big name players paid by some of these social media platforms to spout their inane, banal comments as much as possible. Post videos with strategically placed products for our perusal. If they don't agree keep fining them, the money from their social media deals will soften the blow.
I think this will prove to be a false economy over the long term. Yes, Woodward got all these meme-tastic sponsors to pay us lots of money but Liverpool's revenues have caught up with ours because they realise they are a football club first and foremost and success on the pitch optimises revenues off the pitch. Woodward's arrogance over this not mattering says everything you need to know about him.
Can you give an example instead of insulting?
Thanks. I've seen a lot worse from that account but still if they're deleting stuff a few minutes after posting it shows that someone at the club has told them to delete.
The terms of any contractural restriction or ban on social media activity, could be structured to allow independent commercial activity, such as endorsements and product advertising, provided it was limited to that.
I would have said the debacle with social media on Saturday as made them realise that enough is enough, on top of the getting rid of major players in our scouting network and negotiating team. It might mean the penny has dropped.
It is hard to say as we only really bother with ours. Think they need to get on the same planet as the rest of us and realise a lot of stuff or more the timing of their posts actually annoys fans rather than lifts the spirits.
In case you missed it, I'm replying to them both directly.
The most annoying thing is most of the cases we've had in the past 5-6 years could have been prevented if the agent or players went to the (clueless) board and asked for what they wanted. But instead we gave them what they wanted after they talked shit about the club. It needs to change. Don't think I can stand anymore of that. If they do that there needs to be consequences especially when they're shite anyway.
