Hi, I just wanted to share some erotic material I found. (On a serious note, play the video at 0.75x).
Yeah..... I want to see that tooI am just interested how he will get CR7 to work hard in gegenpressing... That will be fun...
Agree. I'm expecting very little change in the short term, it's more about priming this squad for next season now. We're not even going to have that much time on the training pitch over the next month or so in between games.I'm reading some of the posts since the Ralf announcement has been made and the concerning thing is that some come across as suggesting or thinking there will be a massive shift in our playing style etc straight away and we could be winning trophies by the end of the season.
Now I'm not saying we won't win a trophy or that it wouldn't be nice to suddenly see a team performing to a high level. However I think we need to be cautious and patient here. I think there maybe a bit of pain initially and a lot of banter/abuse from opposition fans. Depending how n how much work is needed to get the players, culture of the club etc back on track.
For me these next 6 months are not as results focussed but seeing a change in attitude, culture, players used or dropped etc
Ultimately what I know of RR (and I was touting him a couple of years back) has me excited as I think we will be having a plan and a structure in place that we don't currently. His appointment isn't about the short term but benefits for the mid to long term.
Why?WTF, I thought Phelan wasn't doing any coaching. He's just the coaching Phil Jones at this point.
Agreed and it's what I'm hoping to see too. We've just wasted three years on a project that consisted of lifting the mood of the dressing room. Now it's time for something that's actually meaningful and significant; an overhaul of our footballing structure to not only implement a better style of play, but to provide continuity and better transition between future managers (head coaches?) Finally we may be moving into the modern era as a football club.Based on what I've read of him so far Rangnick is probably one of the best experts in modern football. The only reason big clubs haven't signed him yet is him demanding full control of the football matters, which of course wouldn't go well with most of the big clubs.
He refused the coach position at Chelsea so in order to persuade him to come here we must have offered something bigger, the DOF role with full power for example. Imo his first six months is actually only a trial, if things go well he'll be escalated to be the one who run the football side of United from now on. We'll definitely hire a new coach this summer but he'll be the one to decide who. Also the whole structures and organisations of how that side would be run. While the commercial side would be run by Arnold and co.
This potentially would be the life changing, absolutely required appointment United has been desperately needed in the past decade post SAF. Maybe a bit too hopeful and premature from me but I really hope it's the case.
Don't think many of us do to be honest.Mainly cos I know nothing of his cnut.
I agree that he’s generally been awful this season so far.Well, at least this season that's just not true imo. Maguire is in horrible form.
Even his passing has been awful. He will have to get better asap and Shaw as well.
Why if he is so good and the majority here happy to get him, he hasn’t managed any top side?
He is good at a specific thing - laying down tactical foundations and then buildup the football club. In the former I guess he's a bit like Bielsa. So we're getting a teacher type coach who can offer the club a lot in years to come. That seems good for an interim appointment. Obviously he's not a top manager, we all know that.Why if he is so good and the majority here happy to get him, he hasn’t managed any top side?
Probably not. You never know in life, but I'd be happy if he just did as much to lay a platform of modern footy for the permanent manager, or at least start that process.Could we have actually stumbled upon our genuine next long term manager? he is in the mould of fergie in terms of playing attacking football and will happily take full control of the entire club from top to bottom with a clear blueprint which would suit the glazers perfectly.
Will he be on the bench on Sunday?
Chelsea tried to bring him in but he didn't want an interim role at such a small clubWhy if he is so good and the majority here happy to get him, he hasn’t managed any top side?
I agree, while everyone wants to play entertaining football we’d still have either Moyes, LVG, Mourinho or Ole if any of them were continually winning trophies. We’d obviously be whining about the football and any bad run would be magnified but they’d carry enough credit to see them through. There were moans about our play in SAF time particularly the last few years.United brand is winning, when you win a new sets of fans are born. The rest are just romance.
Sure I started during 92s where we're still forming our dominance, but i wont even see us on tv if we're not successful and facing Juventus on the Champions league.
So all those united dna mumbo-jumbo and wing play etc means nothing if we're spanked left right center playing like a bozo against well drilled team
Ask chelsea fans, what sort chelsea way they're playing? The winning ways.
United ways is worthless without the trophies to back our ways.
I'm practical, any winning ways is united ways. Renarate it as Renaissance, resurgence, new MU, or whatever, win first talk later
"All those 3 players, including Mo Salah, were when they came to Europe, were not natural born ball winners. None of them. They were not the kind of players where everyone went 'Wow, they are pressing machines!' All of the things that happened at Liverpool were the job of the coach and coaching staff."
I do remember that Schalke side we played in the semis a few years ago and they were one of if not the worst side I have seen reach that stage of the competition but I cannot remember if they had big names or not; I think Neuer was their GK at the time.
From Raphael Honigstein.
Ralf Rangnick Stiftung, a non-profit organisation founded by Ralf Rangnick, appears to confirm that he is the new interim manager on Instagram
Edit: they removed the post but here is what it said
I realize that German managers are in high demand, but hiring Rangnick now is about the equivalent of Arsenal signing Podolski when Germany was starting to produce all this amazing young talent.
TBF we've tried every has-been successful philosophy. My concern with Rangnick as our manager is his managerial record and the fact that he's indirectly admitted to being a has-been (Nagelsmann, Tuchel and Klopp have surpassed him). I'd love it if we could still bring someone like ETH or Poch in right now together with Rangnick to salvage this season.Post Fergie we have tried every successful philosophy out there under different managers. We tried Pep’s/dutch possession based football through Van gaal. Then we tried defensive football through Mourinho. Then we tried to emulate Sir Alex formula and football through ole. Now we go for Gegenpress through RR. The ideas were ok but every time we picked the wrong person to emulate it. Every single candidate either was past it or didn’t have it in them to properly do it. I hope we didn’t make the same mistake with RR and given Rangnick managed for only 2 years in the last decade doesn’t fill me with confidence. He talks a good talk but so does Bielsa and so did LVG and nobody was better than Louis Van Gaal at that. Fingers crossed
Side note and seemingly on the same path as the Rangnick appointment, are we doing things the right way from now on?
