The number of people I saw having a go a Carrick for his selections and systems when he had 7 days to prepare for 2 games and he isnt a manager actually surprised me to the point I expect there are going to be a lot of fans with absolutely zero patience for Rangnick

I super excited with this. I don't think things will improve drastically in the short term, it may even get worst as players try to adapt. But the more I read up on Rangnick, the more confident I am with our long term prospects, in terms of recruitment and play style. If he does his work right in the back room, the risk of getting a wrong managerial appointment is hugely mitigated.

I seem to remember things got worse for a while when Klopp went to Liverpool and introduced a new intense pressing game there, partly because players were learning it but also because they weren’t fit enough, and there were quite a few injuries there as a result. We could see similar here
 
Just shows how incompetent we are that we are waiting on a visa, surely to god this could have been applied for ahead of time.

People aren't being patient with a caretaker manager, Rangnick has no chance of patience from some of the mugs on here, because it won't be plain sailing, we won't be some tactical pressing supreme force over night. This fanbase is in a slump, I hoped Ole going would fix it a bit, but too many are just more suited to being angry little twitter users.

Ole going was never going to fix things overnight. I wasn't Ole out until the end but I honestly think he has left more problems than solutions. Whether that was all his doing I don't know.

The main thing is that we will get a lot of stick from opposition fans with every little thing going forward. Some of this will be just wumming and some may be a "fear" of us coming good. Our fans need to take it and show support. these next 6 months may see is get worse before we get better. It's been a long time since we were very good so a year won't make a difference if we see positives.

The club have done something right we need to back it

I can see McT playing more at the back.

I don't have many fond memories of him charging gung-ho up front

His best performances have come when he's been allowed to play box to box. He has terrible defensive positioning.
 
Did Conte already have a work permit from working here before or something? How come he was able to start straight away yet with us it gets drawn out?

If you’ve worked in the UK before it becomes far easier to get a work Visa again.

That explains it then. Even so, I can't think of an example before where a foreign manager has to wait so long. I might be wrong of course having not paid as much attention since it isn't us involved.

This is my concern too. There'll be a learning curve and mistakes will be made. This won't be an immediate fix and people will need to be patient. Hopefully the run of winnable games will aid us in that regard.

The likes of him and Merson talking bollocks about someone they probably know feck all about just shows how embarrassing Sky sports is getting these days.

They just hate United - nothing to do with knowledge. There is no manager we could sign that they would approve of.

But I agree they also know feck all about RR, probably saw a few people praising the appointment and so decided to shit all over it.

We could have applied for a Visa for someone who hadn't been released from his current role and with whom we hadn't agreed terms or signed contracts?
 
He's gonna miss the Arsenal game. Talk that it will be tight for the Palace game.

:lol:

So glad we used that international break productively. God damn this club.

Yup and I was being told off for being impatient. It's clear that the slowest option is the default option for United.

Forgetting Conte, how did Chelsea get Tuchel in so quickly when he had no history of working in the UK? Rangnick has his work cut out with this club.
 
The club are so fecking daft for holding their dicks for two weeks only to see Ole lose 4-1 to Watford anyway. Good one.

No, it couldn't. You can't apply for a work visa without an offer for work.

People thought I was flapping when I suggested this might take a while. Won't be here for Arsenal and Palace will be very tight too. I only hope United can do what is needed to keep our league campaign alive in the interim. Worst case scenario is that he ends coming here with Europa League qualification the best realistic target.
 
I for one am the 1st to call the club incompetent but calling it that cause they didnt ask for visa while Ragnick was employed at Lokomotiv is something else.
 
Incredibly disappointed by the news. Why, oh why, didn't we use the international break... It was the perfect time. Now he is even in doubt for the Crystal Palace game. And why are Chelsea and Tottenham allowed to bring managers quickly but it's different for us?
 
This bullshit is what you get and deserve when you rather focus on sending players and staff on holiday in a two week International break.

I'm sure the players could have solved the visa of a manager who wasn't signed back then and working for another team in no time. Lazy twats.

Point is, Ole should have been sacked going into the international break, so that the club would have had two weeks without games to sort this out. Now they have to do it in the middle of a full week of games and create a saga.

Absolutely, don't think anyone would disagree with that.
Just sending them on holidays instead of staying in Manchester doesn't change anything about the current situation.

That's not it.

People are frustrated that they delayed on sacking Solskjaer for two weeks of an international break and a subsequent game. A two week period in which Rangnick could have been signed and his VISA cleared well ahead of time for the Arsenal, and game and indeed in time for the hactic Christmas run of games.

How funny you are mate. Im sure you got my point that we should have sacked Solskjaer the day after City defeat and focused on getting the new man up and ready for the Watford game

Do you really think because he got 1 out of 10 things right, he must have got information directly from the board? Don't be daft.
As I said, if you throw enough shit against the wall, something will stick. He's gotten far too much wrong to be regarded as a high credible tier. That much is obvious.


It's not naivety. I also questioning whether he was actually the very first source to talk of an emergency meeting. Even if he was, maybe he had a good source - but the fact that he has spouted a lot of shit means he's generally not credible. This item doesn't change that.
Click to expand...
Having a good source literally makes him more credible than the majority of journalists, that's the point.

9/10 of all them all throw out rumours and stories. The simple fact is though he got this one spot on while nobody else did, and you cannot deny that.

There's no getting lucky with a report like that, he got fed info quite clearly. You can believe whatever you like but that has pushed him up a notch.
Withnail said:
The thing is it doesn't really matter whether he actually got the information right this time or not. He throws out so much nonsense that you can't trust that any of it is true.
Click to expand...
Of course it does :lol: you can't ignore something he got before anybody else ( and got it spot on ) just because he's said things in the past that hasn't happened.

Football changes a lot and there's lots of different information available. Would you call Romano reliable? He spouts just as much nonsense as anybody.

Its both, people are claiming visa could have been asked for in advance.
