Hopefully that's not true. I'd have been fine if Poch took over now, but wasting a season with an interim just so we could go for him rather than the most exciting prospect in the world at the moment that is Ten Hag would be incredibly disappointing.
Not sure I get your point. Ten Hag's not even mentioned there? He was never an option to take over mid season
Second sentence doesn't fill me with confidence that Ogden has the faintest idea what's going on.
No I meant why the quip about Phil Jones?
Still very happy with this. Even if we get Poch later, I'm hoping that means Rangnick thinks he's suitable. I trust his opinion over any other decision maker.
Way to go Ralf. Already started working before signing the contract. Sancho could learn from this.
Ogden is saying that Poch was the #1 choice before Rangnick's arrival and Rangnick will now have a leading role in who is selected.
My point is that we need to go for Ten Hag over the summer, not Poch.
Best news I've heard from United for a long time. I knew that Rangnick was very influential on the style of Klopp and others, and he is a footballing 'intellectual' in his focus on mentality and strategic awareness. This is what United needs - somebody from outside who will promote the best interests of United on the pitch regardless of fear or favour.
Regarding the negativity from some about Ronaldo - there is nothing wrong with his attitude. This man has always wanted to win and his life has never revolved around money over being the best. I think he will really settle back in with this change.

That's excellent
The article doesn't say we won't though. Poch was nr1 target now Ralf will have a look a it if Odgen is believed.
Because he's a player who doesn't play and is literally collecting money for doing nothing, whatever the circumstances that led to that.
This is why I said "hopefully". Plus, the article doesn't say we won't, just that apparently Poch is the front runner which is not what I want. But that doesn't mean Ten Hag isn't under consideration anyway.
To be honest if Ralph is leading the pursuit on who is best and still goes for Poch, I'm not sure what extra credibility anyone on the forum would have to point to Ten Hag's credentials over Poch.
Not saying that will happen, but it sounds like whoever comes will have the rubber stamp of approval by Rangnick, so it's most likely the right one regardless of whom it will be.
Doesn't he want to go on a 9 day holiday first?
Not impressed.
Not impressed.
Can we avoid this kind of posts and just be glad about the whole thing?
I am glad.
It just serves to highlight the stark contrast between each manager. Lighten up.
I wish we didnt have the Chelsea game first and he could just take over and start coaching without following that inevitable defeat.
@1988, the video which you shared of Ragnick gets me excited, the training will be far better and he won't go easy on lazy players like Martial and others. (I can't quote or reply to your post because I can't add media in my posts yet)
All the talk of Pochettino was purely media driven. Most of them haven't a scooby doo of what's actually going on.
Nobody linked Rudi Garcia to the job until Mitten spoke about it, even he didn;t know about Rangnick.
Do we like Poch as a manager? sure. We probably asked the question and PSG said no chance, so we moved on with a different plan.
I hope this appointment gives us some breathing room, Ten Hag continues to impress and then we take the logical step of going for him in the summer.
I never would have thought we'd go for Rangnick, it just made too much sense. It seems maybe the club have finally got the memo.

Yes, the contrast between Rangnick and Ole should be highlighted at every opportunity. Never again should our club succumb to the incompetence, nepotism and "desire & passion" tactics of the Ole era.
I think the club still intends of getting Pochetinno at the end of the season but who knows, maybe PSG go out at the 1st knock-out stage and Ajax go on to win the CL and suddenly thoughts change. It's a smart appointment as we've bought ourselves some time to think while addressing the massive coaching problem
You do realise he’s not playing because he’s working his way back to fitness after an 18 month career threatening injury? Or do you believe that injured players shouldn’t be paid? I can’t believe that people are still thinking this way
Rangnick will have a say in that question and he likes to promote talented young managers (as proven by his whole RB setup but also by giving for example Tuchel his first coaching job).
I believe the chances for proven big names like Poch decreased and the chance of gettin someone his first role at a big club increased.
Poch is still possible of course, just not as likely as before Rangnick's signing I think.
This really came out of left field, in a good way.
I'm just gonna go ahead with my assumption that we were starting to look for new solutions to our mess since the Liverpool defeat.

Can you imagine he wins us the CL and Phil Jones just takes him out
I can actually visualise it, which is incredibleOfficial announcement today, or do we think they will wait until after the Chelsea game?
Probably waiting for Lokomotiv Moscow to agree to the deal
Happy enough with the (expected) appointment.
An interim manager is far from ideal but, having gone down that route, I think this is as good an appointment as we could make.
Rangnick to the summer and then, hopefully, he'll stay as a much needed knowledgeable football man in some capacity while we target the likes of Pochettino or Ten Hag.
I can't shake the suspicion that, depending on results, Rangnick as the permanent manager is a real possibility. But I guess that's a 'good' problem to worry about as it should mean results have gone well under him.
Ideally, it would be a permanent appointment that I'm excited about rather than a short term fix with the bigger decision still to deal with. But I'm happy to grab at any positive news there is in recent years and this seems as good an interim appointment as possible - and leaves the options open for a decent long term appointment at the end of the season.

I'm not worried. This is the man i knew woudl do the job. And Arnold wont ok him if he doesnt trust him to pull the trigger metaphorically speaking. So nothing to wary about.
I would wary if someone like Ole or Fletcher given this role
Rangnick would be afforded the wool cotton and the patience, he has that luxury of coming after 10 years of failed experiment so that people know not to take things for granted.
You are right about RB they had Naglesmann so he could carry on with what Rangnick had started.
Me personally even if the style of play that he will impose this season was bearing fruit I would still want him at the end of the season to move into that consultancy role. I think he will do much more there with his view of football and get the restructure going that we really need.
I don't know if Ten Hag is a better or not but I would like to think he is if we are laying the groundwork to play that kind of football. As for Hasenhuthal you never know we might do the pomme fritte makeover!
I don't quite agree with this. We have still bought players such as Pellestri, James, Amad etc who aren't huge signings.
