Has he seen how bad it is and jumped ship?
Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

Same story was out few weeks ago and Austrian FA denied it.
He should do it. This consultancy role will be BS anyway. I doubt he'll have his say in any important or that his opinion will be of any importance.
Considering Ralf is slotted to work less than a week per month (according to reports so a bit dubious how accurate that really is, considering the role seemingly isnt even completely fleshed out), combining the two roles in periods should be more than manageable. That is if the role does in fact contain so few hours worked. Given the nature of "giving advice", its certainly something that can be spread out over long periods of time with less and more activity as needed.
Hoping Daily Mail is BSing as usual
I mean, even if he takes it, his consultancy role is surely not going to get in the way of him taking a job at the Austria national team? He'll be on call like once a month or something for United so why can't he do both?
It's certainly a bit confusing when he talks about his role at the club and making it sound like its a big thing though

Yeah not sure why he couldn't do both roles. Unless he just doesn't want to stay with us.
Weird move for him if true.
IF this happens, it surely just points to what fans have known all along. That people's faces at the top may have changed, but the mindset driving the club certainly hasn't!
Ralf securing the bag.
Wait what? Austria.
Why the feck did we bring him in for then.

Didn't expect him to stick around.
Would all seem a bit pointless if he left after 6 months, the whole point of it was the 2 year consultancy afterward. Ultimately we could've had anyone stay to steer the ship.
Doing both jobs ? That actually further proves that his consultancy role won't be of a big value to earn his full concentration.
Good luck to him if it’s true. But surely he can carry out both roles anyway, especially as they’re not at the World Cup?
Mates, let's not fall into the belief that United's future is in the trash without Ralf. I like Ralf and I hope he does serve in a consultancy role but we can somehow manage without him.
Tbh Ralf is 63 years old. I doubt he would have signed up in the first place if the consultancy role required his full concentration.
It means nothing tangible has come out of the board.
Meaning if the board saw it fit to give him a genuine role it would have been with genuine compensation in tandem.
This is on the board not wanting his service rather than Ralf abandoning the sinking ship

Ralfs just going to be a part-timer for us as I thought. It makes sense if him and Murtough supposedly read off the same hymn sheet, and if Paul Mitchell comes in then Ralf isn’t really needed for the day-to-day that people may want him to be, since there’s two guys who will do things he‘d do anyway.
Let’s not forget Ralf is in his mid-60s and probably wants something less stressful at this point, and nothing says a retirement job like an international job for a country like Austria (which is close to home for him) and then going into Manchester a few days a month.
I personally think he’ll become less active as time goes on. You could probably say it’ll take those two years that he has with us before we’ve caught up with everyone else in terms of how the club hierarchy is run.

Zoom meetings ftw.
Surprised to say the least. Don't think he will do a god job as manager there.
If he’s only going to work about 6 days a month for us then i imagine he won’t be impacted by this
What?
Bit puzzling that anyone would look at the job he's done as interim here and think he'd make a great coach for their team. His talents are clearly better suited to sitting behind a desk.
Why can’t a National team coach do a dual role? Could be quite beneficial actually and help the club
From the sounds of it this isn’t going to effect the work with us, which makes sense as there’s no real overlap with the two.
He was never (unfortunately) going to be doing a full-time role here. If he was taking on a club management position then there would be an issue and he wouldn't really be able to continue with a consultancy role, but managing a national team should be fine.
Well Chelsea/AC Milan wanted him.
I think it’s our lads not wanting to follow instructions
Yeah you are a weird one. You resort to insults when rightfully called out.
We brought him in for a consultancy role, his role as a interim manager has been subpar and potentially cost us the top 4, that would have been mitigated had he had stayed and help us get a modern system in place.
But now he's just buggering off without even having started his job.
Why? The consultancy only ever was going to be a minor role to make up for the contract he had in Moscow. He can still phone it in. Nothing about it has to do with the mindset of your club.
he isn't though
it's a part-time consultancy gig and can easily be done alongside his new role
Probably reading into his wording a bit much. Most managers will clearly see who is the leader in the dressing room and will have a select few senior players they really trust. In that sense ‘the dressing room’ almost creates its own leader but he’s not setting up an anonymous poll for them to vote ffs.
