His win percentage rate throughout his career doesn't look particularly inspiring - or am I just being short sighted?
I'd probably rather give big Ron another crack than have Ole in charge.We haven’t had an English manager in 35 years.
Shush, don't speak too loud. That would go back to end of last summer and start of this seasonCavani instead of Ronaldo
He would be a bigger nightmare to the class of 92. The man will refuse to work with Fletchery, Carricky and CleggyRalf Rangnick want control, control he would not get under the Glazers. So yes, he would be the perfect man (for limited time) to bring this club into modern football, but he would be the Glazers nightmare.
It makes him becoming manager pretty unlikely, but I think most would agree that this is exactly what's needed.He would be a bigger nightmare to the class of 92. The man will refuse to work with Fletchery, Carricky and Cleggy
Because he is kind of the godfather of modern German coaching. Half of the Bundesliga coaches and some Premier League coaches (Klopp, Tuchel, Hasenhüttl) probably would not exist without him. And he is also the man who established Hoffenheim and Leipzig in the Bundesliga. When you give him full control in a club (and that's the issue with him, he won't work in a club that does not grant that), he will deliver. He essentially never failed in a job apart from clashing with a club CEO or similar stuff.Why would we hire the 63 Y.O Head of Sports and Development at Lokmotiv Moscow as a head coach?

Think hed be fine for caretaker. Its not a high barometer to beat right now.His win percentage rate throughout his career doesn't look particularly inspiring - or am I just being short sighted?
Short answer, no.Wasn’t Van Gaal the godfather of modern coaching?
Worked for Ole.Really weird appointment, he hasn't managed seriously for over five years now (one caretaker spell aside).
Because he is miles better than OleWhy would we hire the 63 Y.O Head of Sports and Development at Lokmotiv Moscow as a head coach?
He got most of his ideas from Michels. He is the godfather of modern football IMO.Wasn’t Van Gaal the godfather of modern coaching?
I wanted to say that I don’t think they are going to chose a profile not used to English football or United worldWe haven't had an English manager since 1986.
With Rangnick, you really have to consider the clubs he's managed when talking about achievemts.Manager[edit]

I barely know who he is so I went to Wikipedia. Better CV than Ole, so why the hell not? He's in the Koeman category. Shouldn't be at the top of the list, but as a caretaker I'd take him right now.
A video like this on Ole's tactics will be hilarious (once he's sacked, it'd be sad now)
Almost half of this team there are players who don't press or can't press - Pogba, Edi, Cristiano, Tony, Mason. What made you believe that his tactics is good for our players ?yes, his teams play a very good style that would fit our players
Not really. van Gaal brought identity to Bayern Munich by giving them a possession based style that they mostly still follow today and laid the base for their total domination of German football and made them a CL powerhouse again. Rangnick's influence on modernising coaching began in the 90s, but only slowly that style he brought to Germany (more inspired by Arrigo Sacchi then by Dutch coaches) became more important. At the time van Gaal came to the Bundesliga the "second generation" after Rangnick was already in place (Tuchel in Mainz, Klopp in Dortmund), while Rangnick brought Hoffenheim to the first league.Wasn’t Van Gaal the godfather of modern coaching?
Can you elaborate on that? Do you mean he's won cups and promotions with shite teams? And 2nd place with a team that isn't Bayern/Dortmund is basically like winning Bundesliga?With Rangnick, you really have to consider the clubs he's managed when talking about achievemts.
Right idea with this post but not him.Id take Rolf Harris right now.
Agreed, maybe the mods feel generous todayYeah i would. A poll would be useful.
Every player who hasn't got two broken legs and isn't as stupid as a loaf of bread can press. Of course with different intensity, but I believe a player like Mason Greenwood is currently simply coached to be lazy as feck and not being asked to press.Almost half of this team there players who don't press or can't press - Pogba, Edi, Cristiano, Tony, Mason. What made you believe that his tactics is good for our players ?
That's what I was getting at, yeah. Although funded by rich dudes, he put Hoffenheim with a population of 3000 and Leipzig on the german football map. Also reached that CL semi vs United with Schalke, if I remember correctly.Can you elaborate on that? Do you mean he's won cups and promotions with shite teams? And 2nd place with a team that isn't Bayern/Dortmund is basically like winning Bundesliga?
Bang onEvery player who hasn't got two broken legs and isn't as stupid as a loaf of bread can press. Of course with different intensity, but I believe a player like Mason Greenwood is currently simply coached to be lazy as feck and not being asked to press.
Cavani can't/doesn't press? Are you on a wind up?Almost half of this team there are players who don't press or can't press - Pogba, Edi, Cristiano, Tony, Mason. What made you believe that his tactics is good for our players ?
For example he brought Hannover to the Bundesliga, just two years after promotion to the second league. So as hard as it is to admit that, this fits the "promotion with shite teams" category. Well, not really, just a shite club, he broke records for most points and goals scored in that promotion season, was a great team we had in those daysCan you elaborate on that? Do you mean he's won cups and promotions with shite teams? And 2nd place with a team that isn't Bayern/Dortmund is basically like winning Bundesliga?
If I was one of the owners then he would be my second signing after MarottaIt makes him becoming manager pretty unlikely, but I think most would agree that this is exactly what's needed.
