Looking forward to the roar he will get on Wednesday night
Ruud van Nistelrooy | Leaves United
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
What would you have us do for an interim then? Clearly they do not have someone immediately lined up to take over, or else they would have.
I don't know, I got bored and stopped.
I'll probably have a look on Twitter, though, and see what people who watched and/or analysed his PSV side will say.Great things?
We had the ultimate house bit on wet sand approach with a McFred mid, and were always going behind before just about turning it round. Not to mention a lot of it was that mad season with no fans.
The key word is "caretaker" manager.
Although if we suddenly go on a mad winning run again...
A lot of people/supporters as expecting Ruud will get a new manager bounce similar to Ole. Hope they are right but I'm not so sure, where will the goals suddenly come from? Rudd has been there since the summer as head coach and have missed the more big chances in the league than any other team.
Leicester midweek in the Cup, Chelsea in the League at the weekend.
Will be interesting to see if they are any notable differences in the team selection and shape.
All the best Ruud

I know, but we could've got a manager in to help properly sort things out instead of wasting all these months. Maybe a whole season if we're planning on waiting until the summer now to get a full time man in.
It's such a waste of time.
Wouldn't be surprised to see at least one academy forward in the squad for the cup game in midweek... I'd also guess we'll start the game at a far higher tempo than in the past three years
Most disappointing news this morning.
I don't feel good about this. It smacks too much of rolling the dice - again, and where did that get United in the last ten years plus? I wish Ruud well but am struggling to be optimistic. It is hard now to have faith that INEOS do have a serious long term plan to which they are committed and which they are steadily implementing. This looks like making it up as you go along at best and reacting belatedly to crisis at worst. Come on United!!!!!!!!
Ruud is a smart bloke. It might be a little early in his managerial career, but he’s got all the qualities to succeed as a manager at the top. Let’s just hope this experience doesn’t feck his whole career up
René Hake? Far more experience than van Nistelrooy.
Not bothered by RvN if it's for a caretaker manager stint like Giggs or Carrick - should be fine in that case. I just don't want him to be exposed and ultimately pilloried over the remainder of the 24/25 season (or beyond).
I would challenge "early in career" when there are plenty of managers with limited experience that go on to be great. Im not saying that will be Ruud, but if you have the qualities regardless of age and experience, you will do well.Ruud is a smart bloke.

He'll need full support, or he'll end up worse than Ragnick.
Whoever wants Ruuuuuuuud when theres world class managers like Southgate, Mourinho and Potter available is beyond help
Hopefully it won't be for the rest of the season. If an interim manager does well it's always hard for any club not give him the job full time, or it makes hiring a new manager a disappointment for the team. I obviously love Ruud and want him to succeed, but I don't want another Ole situation.
Just long enough until he’s appointed permanently. It’s a never ending cycle.
Can’t tell if this is satire or not
Poor satire if so, considering the CV Jose has compared to the others.
It was inevitable he would be interim at some point this season as ETH was always going to be sacked. Hopefully over the last few weeks people have been sounded out behind the scenes and progress on a replacement is well under way.
Good one!Can we cool it with these comments? It's not even the same team that Ole or Mourinho had. It's ETH's team made up of 95% his own players. Are you telling me players that he knows and worked with before, got him sacked? Please.
I hope he tells the wide players to feed the striker more.
No big hopes here. So far he had no positive impact it seems
Will be interesting to see if he immediately gets a tune out of the players/results improve.
Can't see him going back to assistant if the board opt for an alternative, but looks really weird to get rid of him so quickly.
Interim player-manager??

He quit after one season following a player revolt.
You could see this appointment as interim a mile off, even going back to when he was appointed.
It makes sense, I'm looking forward to see what he can do in whatever amount of time he will be given. I'll always be fond of Ruud, he's the only player who's name I had on my shirt as a kid! I should probably apologise to my parents for picking the longest name on the team at the time.

Wasn’t PSV players unhappy about his training methods? Something that seems to happen a lot with ours.
I think the issue at PSV was that he didn't really have one. @Eendracht maakt macht or @locomojito would know best (as PSV fans), but I think the former said earlier that Van Nistelrooij talked about dominant, attacking football, but never really instilled it on the pitch, where PSV wasn't very consistent in their approach, but overall still pretty reactionary by the end of his one season in charge.I don't know, I got bored and stopped.
I like Van Nistelrooij but he's not been a strong head coach so far. He may have learned a lot in the meantime though! We'll be finding out now.
Who cares? He's the interim manager.
Honestly, I have never seen EtH and RvN talk at the side line or hug each other when celebrating. Maybe RvN and EtH never cared for each other. Both are dutch, that is it. RvN may be the one celebrating the most today!
Our lots have training problem with every managers.
Hope this elevation is only till the International break and we'll make a proper appointment or appoint a proper interim till the end of the season to take over from after the break.
If I were him I'd tell the players to revert back to the state of Ten Hag's first season before Eriksen gets injured.
Someone that thinks we can still climb the table after 9 games.
True.
Not convinced by Ruud's coaching credentials but hopefully we'll see somewhat of a new manager bounce at least. Surely the players are as relieved as we are that Ten Hag is gone?
