Would surely be fairer to judge a football manager on how well he manages footballers. We don't have many


It better not be, otherwise what was the point?

People are judging him but if our captain let literally the highest scoring player ever take the penalty like he should've, we probably would've gone on to win this game.

The owners are brainless, the staff are brainless, the players are brainless. Things take time. I'm not sure we should be getting rid of one of the very few people at the club who understands how to build a successful football club.

Points per game this season:

Ole 1.42
Carrick 2
Rangnick 1.71

The whole point of sacking Ole was to bring in someone who could improve things.
 
This is worse than ole.

WORSE.

Yes it is…..but due to the players and not Ralph, what we see in the media, his comments will be very much dilute compared to what will have been said behind closed doors. Ralph has been literally inches away from saying what he really thinks on interview, THIS time a why the play is so bad, these absolute cowards and frauds have been called out for what they truly are.
 
It’s you that’s clueless if you thought he was going to come in and save the season. Has he performed worse than many including me expected? Yes, but for me that just symbolises how deep the problems are and hiring Conte would solve none of them. We aren’t catching up to City and Liverpool without doing something radical and that included bringing in a big picture guy. I’m sorry that you can’t see it.

You know you're out of arguments when you start attacking the poster.

Nowhere have I suggested hiring Conte so try not putting words in others' mouths.
 
This. At least have the courage to play the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Hannibal Mejbri, and see how they respond. Surely we are not finishing top 4 and it adds no value to our future giving time to departing players or underperformers.

Yeah, it is baffling. Can't understand that at all.
 
Get this cnut fraud out of my club right now.

Would rather bring Carrick back.

This german fraud hasn't a clue how to manage top tier players or motivate/organise a team.
Yeah let’s kidnap Carrick from his family and force him to come back to manage United for 4 games against his will because we’ve got shit players who can’t even score a penalty.
 
Rangnick hasn't been good. But what we're seeing really is the result of a decade worth of institutional decline.

No effort was ever put in to implement a playing style or footballing structire. We've seen a lot of young academy graduates and signings fail to develop on their initial promise because of this. Billions have been spent on players who didn't complement each other and couldn't play effectively together.
Well we could have scraped to 4th and done whatever we plan to do next season... if we had got a competent coach instead of this fraud ..
We could have hired him as a consultant and hired another coach ..
You don't give up a season after 9 games. OR hell just play the kids ... atleast they will get experience..
You have thousands of supporters paying money .. and is this how we treat them ?
 
He had us midtable with a 'better squad' this season and lost 4-1 to Watford. Maybe the better squad is actually worse
He’s garbage mate. Ole without a shadow of a doubt is a better manager for me. He wasn’t good enough but way better than this poser.
 
It’s interesting to see the number of posts that vehemently blame RR but didn’t a few previous managers face the very same problem as RR with many of these same players?

So despite all the previous guys getting fired because they couldn’t win with this bunch, let’s blame the guy who didn’t have a hand in drafting any of them, didn’t spend a cent on bringing in even one of his own guys, didn’t have a preseason to train these millionaires, and let’s saddle him with all of the responsibility of failure of the entire team?

Sure that makes sense to me!
 
Annoying cnut, not even asking for much here. I don't mind losing, just don't give players that are not even going to be here chance after chance.
 
Not sure I rate him as a manager, but I do quite like him generally, even though he probably wasn't the best choice for a short term role. He's not responsible for this mess, nor did he build this imbalanced Frankenstein's monster of a team. It needs stripping down and putting back together, and I don't know who could get a tune out of it in its current state. Still, I'd have liked him to have played the youngsters a bit more. There doesn't seem to be anything for us to gain from giving Lingard minutes when he's leaving. I'm sure Pogba would be playing right until the final game if he wasn't injured too. That's my only real criticism of him.

Maybe Conte would have done better, but would he have accepted an interim role? Would it have impacted us getting Ten Hag for 22/23, if Conte got us into the top 4?

He is, but Ole is not better, no way. This is Ole's squad, not Rangnick's. Hard to do something in half a year when half the squad checked out due to the previous manager.

Should've just stuck with Carrick. 1.71 is still horrendous, it just isn't relegation form just yet.

Think he's been lucky the players bailed him out with a couple of draws, otherwise I'd look a lot worse for him.
 
I knew EXACTLY what we were getting into with Ralf when we appointed him. I knew that his appointment wasn’t some panic to get Top 4, otherwise we’d have got Conte or gone for someone like Valverde. Us appointing him said to me that we’re addressing these deeper issues and no longer interested in papering over cracks. Top 4 was a bonus objective in my eyes. Even in the press release United did, talked more about Ralf being a club builder rather than being some title winner, which is true.

Its weird watching people take these bad results at face value and saying he should be sacked. I feel like they’re not seeing the big picture at all. We’ve all known the players are a problem and we’ve got a bunch of dickheads who are taking the club for a ride. Ralf pretty much read the riot act in the press conference for this game, so he’s probably seen all he needs to see and the players know where they stand.

These last few games are just a massive inconvenience really. Everyone’s just going through the motions until the final whistle of the last game which can’t come soon enough.

And it’s a squad that could easily get top 3 in a season like this.
 
I struggle to see why this thread is being bumped. I'm not sure Ralf told Bruno to miss a penalty and be crap today. The goals we've conceded today I don't put on the manager. The goals we should've scored I don't put on him either.

Doesn't seem like he tells the players much of anything as we're a mess of a team, he does the vast majority of his talking in press conferences it seems. Personally think he realized he was in over his head months ago and checked out mentally a long time ago.

If the club really wanted Top 4 this season, they would have gotten players in January or hired Conte as you said.
 
The issue I have with him is that he is sticking to the players who do not perform. He does not know how to bring a change. When you are losing then you need to take risks. No point in not doing something radical in that instance. Put Bailly and Jones in midfield. Take Bruno off.

"I am excited to be joining Manchester United and focused on making this a successful season for the club. The squad is full of talent and has a great balance of youth and experience. All my efforts for the next six months will be on helping these players fulfil their potential, both individually and, most importantly, as a team." - Ralf Rangnick

Anyone would with these players. Seems like players have also checked out a long time ago.
 
Can't believe he missed that penalty. Even worse than when he forgot how to kick a football two minutes in. Sell him and give it Phelsey 'til the end of the season.

Carrick was part of the Olé regime, there was a big risk that over the season he was going to get the same 1,4 as his "mentor"... A change was needed, we just managed to choose the wrong horse, and to worsen things we didn't give him any support in January.
 
No, Ole can feck off from any material role, because hes useless and has no pedigree in structural remits.
You are really hopeless to keep blaming Ole and defending Ralf as interim manager. Ralf has no clue. He MIGHT be good in many other things, but he is a really bad interim manager.
 
People blaming him for this :lol:
Funny isn't it?

We got Arsenal on choke hold with our pressing. The player condition is so shit that the pressing is not sustainable full game. Still even with our own mistake to give them the lead, we created enough to have chance to comeback into the ga,e on 2-2. Bruno had a mare and couldn't score a penalty. A wonder strike from Xakha killed the game, but hardly any tactical mistakes with the limited option in hand.

He did nothing. Did not improve any player. Did not improve anything at all. We are the same shit we were in September.
 
Shall we offer Ole a club role somewhere too?
You don't judge someone's ability upstairs by their managerial ability, much like you wouldn't judge a baker on their ability to cook burgers.
