Rangnick quits consultancy role (Pg 89)

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Served his purpose as a “temp” but with a “long-term vision” so that the rags could summarily sack Ole but make it look like a “retirement” while still convincing their fans and the press that they had a “plan.” Absolutely transparent public relations cock-up that anyone not mired in the depths of ragdom could have and did see coming a mile away. Good on Wreck-It for hoovering a few ducats out of these colossal fucksticks and parlaying his gig into the one he really wanted and is more suited for.

Former interim manager Ralf Rangnick will not take up his two-year consultancy role at Manchester United.

The 63-year-old German will instead concentrate on his new job in charge of Austria.
The consultancy role was agreed as part of Rangnick's arrival at Old Trafford in December. He was replaced by Erik ten Hag at the end of the season.

Asked this week about Rangnick's likely input, Ten Hag said the decision was United's.

Rangnick confirmed the news at his unveiling as Austria manager on Sunday.

A United statement read: "By mutual agreement, Ralf will now focus solely on his new role as manager of the Austria national team and will not therefore be taking up a consultancy role at Old Trafford."

Rangnick was appointed by United until the end of the season, taking over after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's sacking.

United won only 38% of their games under Rangnick, the worst win percentage of any United manager in the Premier League era and the club's worst for 50 years.

They qualified for the Europa League by finishing sixth in the table.

I imagine Tent Peg refused to take any advice from a man who just led them to their worst PL campaign ever....... he told the board with the players they have he has the ability to do that by himself with no outside input

I can too but that was never the plan. He was never staying. It was a PR ruse to make it look like it wasn’t a temporary appointment after Ole got sacked . . . . errrrrrr . . . “retired.”

Goodbye sweet prince, night's candle has burnt out. Alas you were no Ole, but did you're level best to make them even worse. With you, Ole and Eddy 3planks gone, you'll always live long in our memories.

In pretend Pep we trust!

A simply brilliant turn of events.

From the initial “who’s?”, to the media building him up as the godfather of football management, to the actual performance and now this.

It’s been comedy.

Could have sworn people said Rangnick was the Real Deal.

Let’s ask Dr Teeth to remind us…

Jürgen Klopp: Ralf Rangnick’s arrival is bad news for rest of Premier League

Jürgen Klopp has described the imminent arrival of Ralf Rangnick at Manchester United as bad news for the rest of the Premier League as the Old Trafford side ‘will be organised on the pitch’

www.theguardian.com

Schadenfreude.

Or, if you like your print media in smaller paragraphs, this cracker in the Super Soaraway Sun:

“Rangnick is recognised as a true-visionary of the game and comes with a hefty reputation in his homeland, which United will hope to cash in on.

“He is said to have inspired Premier League bosses Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich supremo Julian Nagelsman with his tactics.”

Meet Ralf Rangnick, potential next Man Utd boss who inspired Klopp and Tuchel

MANCHESTER UNTED have agreed a deal to appoint Ralf Rangnick as their interim manager. The German, 63, will sign a six-month contract with the Red Devils, after the club sacked beleaguered Norwegia…
