Rags are getting Ralf Rangnick at the wheel until the end of the season.
He's currently head of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow. Sounds like they'll be a major force

Sounds like a villain in a Thor film.

This is the guy that was linked with Milan before Pioli, but they stopped the talks because the pandemic started.
Weird move.

Is this an April's fool? Surely even they cannot stoop this low even if interim?

His only experience in English football was in 1979, aged 21 he played a season at wait for it........

He is not a bad manager, had a role in the rise of Leipzig, but he is an odd ball from what I've seen.

Rags getting all giddy .I don’t get what the fuss is about, am I missing something?

The lads been knocking about in management since the early 80’s and the only competitions of note that he’s won are German second division and German cup.

Apparently he’s the best manager in the world. Klopp’s idol. Amazing. Super talented. Won loads.

If he is as good as the media are telling us then why appoint him as interim manager? Why not make him the permanent manager now?

[nottsblue]

At least half of all rag fans have googled Ralf Rangnick today. And then will come out with some crap peddled by the media that he is the inspiration behind Koop, Tuchel, Nagelsmann etc.

Is he really any better suited than Carrick. Another clusterfuck by Woodward it would seem

Sat in his kitchen this morning, Ole Gunnar Solskjær waited until he had the perfect moment of absolute peace and quiet. With one final look around to make sure nobody was there, he took his tea cup in both hands, closed his eyes, smiled and raised it slowly above his head.

They probably will when he puts a few wins together.
Either that or they;re going for our record of most managers gone through in 5 years.
May as well, that the only record of ours they can get anywhere near.

I think we should all acknowledge that the Rags are in their rightful place and long may it last.

'Ralf Rangnick told Man Utd board on Monday he’ll accept this interim job only if future ‘consultancy’ with power on club choices will be included in the deal.
Man Utd are prepared to accept this condition.'

This keeps getting better and better. The mind boggles.
So Ralf is going to step from interim manager to consultant at the end of this season?
What happens if the season goes tits up? Even if it does not what does he consult on - who he next manager is?
then what - the next manager asks him for advice - wtf are the Rags up to?

Mabe I am missing something but this appointment has me very excited.
Looking in from the outside it has disaster written all over it and that is before twats like Pogba, Ronaldo, Martial and Sancho are factored in.

Ralph Rag, how very apt.

According to my scouse mate, RAG Ralph invented the high press and taught klipperty it.

I guarantee you he'd never heard of the fella when we went for a pint last Sunday.

The High Press has been around for decades, always been around it is certainly not an invention and certainly not a German idea or tactic. If anything it is an English tactic. It works more these days because of the higher fitness levels of the players.
