Even if you take away the pressing. Rangnick is basically FIFA career mode in human form. Take a lower level club and get them promoted thru the divisions sign unknown cheaper young players and leave the club in a better position with a structure and philosophy.

If Tottenham get knocked out of the Conference League.

I get all the talk about Ten Hag, and would be excited if we got him, but people need to slow it down a bit. He's won Dutch leagues and had a run in the CL. Never even properly managed outside of Holland. There's definitely a hipster element in the praise.

Pochettino could win Dutch titles with Ajax let's be honest. He also dragged a stale and stagnating Spurs side to a CL final.

Pochettino on the surface is far more experienced and equipped for the job.(Yeah i know, no trophies blah blah)

It's all about perception, and Poch's star is a little dimmed right now because he's in the PSG circus.

I'd go Mauricio, personally.

I see that. My issue is that I've seen Poch quite closely. So I've seen him do well but also seen his flaws. Ten Hag I haven't seen enough of him close up to say how good he'll be so that means he is more exciting for me. Like I said though, I wouldn't be upset with Poch.

I would say it looks like it could be primarily a 442/4222 set up. But the Bruno conundrum makes it likely that it will be 352 which is ironic in itself as that was the default German formation before Rangnick changed everything.

The Germans coming in with that efficiency​

 

[BelieveBeOK]

he revolutionized German football.

How is being an innovator an uneventful career. . You got to be young with this type of nonsense.

29 is young to some people, I guess.
Mourinho and Wenger both revolutionized the English game when they arrived on the scene too. So that's a bit of a mute point to me because I wouldn't take either at United today.

Just answer these simple questions, please

Why has never managed Bayern, Dortmund or any other notable team in Europe?

Why has he never achieved anything close to the success that Klopp or Tuchel have?

Our boy Dizee had never heard of Rangnick but is a Lars Kornetka superfan

You're just clearly desperate to be negative whatever we do.

The reality is we have no idea how much thought or lack thereof has gone in to this. The idea is that he will be in charge of footballing matters so something like the Ronaldo signing won't be able to happen again, so using that as evidence this is a bad move is just bizarre. He's coming in to fix/avoid the very issues you're complaining about

What I find bizzare is, how as United fans we can still be getting swept away by things like this.

Zaha
James Wilson
Januzaj
Mata
LVG
Di Maria
Falcao
Schweinsteiger
Schneiderlin
Depay
Mourinho
Zlatan
Pogba
Mkhitaryan
Sanchez
Lindelof
Matic
Lukaku
Ole
Maguire
Dan James
Telles


All of the above arrived with much fan fare but in the grand scheme of things did little to nothing to change the trajectory of this club over the last 8 years (Not always through fault of their own, especially Pogba and Zlatan).


Let me not derail the hype train though.
Ralf's at the wheel

No, I just despise the Ole cabal (Carrick, Mckenna and especially Phelan) that much.

With them still there, NOTHING will change. Might as well have kept Ole and saved on £7.5m

He's coming in to make decisions on transfers and squad composition over the next few years, meaning in theory those mistakes won't happen anymore, what are you not getting about this

Those sort of fukks ups happened BECAUSE we didn't have a Rangnick figure.

Not according to all the life-long Ragnick fans.

Like I said, I only heard about this dude two weeks ago but apparently he's been one of the influential figures in the history of the game
