So it begins!!
“I am excited to be joining Manchester United and focused on making this a successful season for the club," Rangnick told the club’s website. “The squad is full of talent and has a great balance of youth and experience. All my efforts for the next six months will be on helping these players fulfil their potential, both individually and, most importantly, as a team.
“Beyond that, I look forward to supporting the club’s longer-term goals on a consultancy basis."
From Murtough
“Ralf is one of the most respected coaches and innovators in European football," United’s football director, John Murtough, said. “He was our No 1 candidate for interim manager, reflecting the invaluable leadership and technical skills he will bring from almost four decades of experience in management and coaching."
Welcome Ralf

Likes of phelen and McKenna and carrick should be put to the side. They are garbage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If Rangnick, once he gets to work alongside them and observe their capabilities, decides some or all of them aren't garbage or that their much deeper knowledge of the playing staff makes them valuable, will you a) take his word for it or b) conclude that Rangnick too is garbage?
UWW, let's try a thought experiment. I don't know what you're really great at but let's say you're an incredible pastry chef. You're recruited by a leading patisserie brand and you're part of the team working with the top chef. For some reason, the top chef, a celebrity pastry eater and famous name in the pie industry, decides to put excrement in the pies. You have doubts about this strategy but he's the boss. So you work diligently to ensure that the excrement is piped as exquisitely and efficiently as possible into the pies. Eventually, the brand owner Kraft-Heinz, which hired the celebrity pie eater in the first place, registers negative feedback from the marketplace and sacks the head chef. My question is this: should they sack you too?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, because any chef that serves excrement should be stripped of their duties on hygienic inefficiency grounds.

I love how you guys complicate such a simple process. Another six months of instability and not knowing on the way
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that based on Rangnick's work at other clubs or just something pulled out of your poopchute as usual?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I gave this some serious thought. definitely the poopchute

Wait a minute, I just read my comment again. Don't understand why you guys have gone the caretaker route, just grow some balls and get the guy in that you want, not this limbo crap.

I dunno, but I would like to think a multibillion pound business with a dead man walking at the helm for several months has a pretty good idea of the way forward wouldn't you?

I agree. I would like you to think, too.

So are you saying you don't think the club had any kind of plan or any idea on who they actually want?

I believe that they still don’t.

I dunno man, But you may be right, they did hire Ole after all. Presumably they have a target in mind and are going with Rangnick til the summer.
