Rangnick quits consultancy role (Pg 89)

[petrusha]

Maybe it will prove a decent move for the rags and no doubt it's better than having Carrick in charge for a few months. However, Rangnick has been a head coach (as opposed to a sporting director) for only two seasons in the last ten. In his entire coaching career, he's won one Intertoto Cup and one German Cup. To get him to agree to the interim role, the rags have supposedly had to agree to a subsequent two-year consultancy arrangement with contractual guarantees that his recommendations will be acted on.

And even if his association with that motley bunch works out for both parties, their desperation in agreeing to his terms shows what a fucked-up club they are at the moment. After promoting the likes of Murtough and Fletcher, they made a big deal of having landed on a new, modern football structure to take them into the future, something they've lacked post-Ferguson. That they're now ripping it up to attract an interim manager tells us all we need to know.

I haven't seen anyone in the media take that line, though. All I've seen is a lot of sycophantic bollocks about how well they've done to get a "proper football man" on board.

The above is a post I wrote on 26 November. It was pretty obvious at the time that they were operating on a wing and a prayer in appointing Rangnick. Yet I don't remember anyone at all in the media asking any questions at all back then. There was just a load of sycophantic bollocks about what a great appointment it was. Pathetic, but typical.

The godfather of football. Sadly it was the senile one who died in the garden.

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…

The “Godfather of German football” according to Tyler a man no one had heard of before he rocked up in Trafford

Klopp Said the Same. And suddenly he was the messiah.

What I loved the most. People pretending they knew who he was.

Yup, there was a fair few on here who heralded it as a good appointment and that we should be worried…
