Christ, it's getting more and more farcical.

But at least Big Ed's not there and all that. 🙄

Anyway, good luck against Chelsea. Hopefully you beat them. Keeping them hungry for a win to box 3rd when hey go to Everton Sunday would be perfect ta.

What’s the issue? It was reported from the start he was only to be hired as a consultant. He’s clearly had a big say in things so far. And has said himself he will going forward. Plus with Paul Mitchell looking likely coming in the structure at the top looks good. Just have to see how that translates going forward.
 
If you have to ask how half arsing it like an amateur non-league team is an issue, then you’ve fallen as far as your football club mate.

But hey, its not my carnage so if you’re happy, fair play to you.

What a farce…

United is a big enough job as is and would require 100% focus from all parties involved. If he isn’t 100% committed, he can leave as well. We’re going to be paying him a full time salary to get part time attention. Bollocks mate
 
Ragnick: Hey, maybe you should...
Ten Hag: No.

And that's week's work done, plenty of time left to manage Austria.

Ralf Rangnick does not want to be drawn on Austria job but says: "We have spoken with the board about the contract length + content of my consultancy role, that is why I can confirm I will be here for the next two years to help this club forward and the new manager." #MUFC

He still has to go watch the NT teams players scattered all over the globe play to get an idea of whom to call up. International managerial jobs aren’t as laid back as you think

I’m sure he will manage just fine. He won’t be going all around the globe to watch them and there is a great many technological things to help these days👍🏼 plus assistants and such to help him.

Remember when we had the ‘genius’ idea of joint managers and you rightly laughed your bollocks off at that farce ….. Yeah, amateur hour and not how big clubs conduct themselves.

Talking of …..

Turns out I was wrong to praise the lads protesting. Even the fans are broken at Utd with all this ****-

I have no particular feeling other than it’s going as planned probably. Ralfs in his mid 60s and has been actively coaching for about 40 of them. No doubt there‘s probably an element of winding down in old age. The consultancy gig is going to be exactly what it was going to be in fairness and what was always laid out from the start.

We will have John Murtough and Paul Mitchell running our football board next season. The former respects and follows Ralf and known each other for years and the latter has worked with Ralf at Leipzig. Both know how he works in regards to rebuilding clubs. By the sounds of it, those two would be doing the day to day stuff with Ralf as the expert advisor, because those two will know what to do anyway. Especially as Ralf has already been there 6 months and will have likely already provided a host of ways and advice to take the club forward.

Austrian job isn’t too far for Ralf to travel from his native Germany where he was going to be staying despite the consultancy. It isn’t a high pressure job and doesn’t really require a day to day role. Much like the consultancy role.
