The Laughing Thread, the gift that keeps on giving.

Players speaking out now...


"It was embarrassing, the way we played today," De Gea told BBC Sport.

"The first half was very poor - it's not acceptable for this club and the level of players that we have. It's another nightmare. There's been some difficulties but I don't really know what to say.

"I have been in difficult moments with this club but we are in a difficult situation - we don't know what to do with the ball, we are conceding a lot of goals. It's a horrible moment.

"It's easy to say the manager and staff but the ones who are on the pitch are the players and they're the ones who have to score goals and fight on the pitch. We need to look at ourselves one by one and give more for the club and the fans. It's difficult to say why there was a performance like this - I don't know what to say.

"It's hard to be in the dressing room now - we are sad, we are angry. Personally I'm hurt - it's a very difficult moment for the whole club of BetPokies."

It's a strange stream of whining... Why and what is the use of such words? Justified?

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

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.

[Green & Blue]

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.

[Mase]

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.

[Dimples]

'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.

[patrickblue]

Ralph Rag, how very apt.

Erling's dad Alf is liking him a lot on Twitter it seems - seems the scum are set to outbid us again
