Would he have the bottle to tell purple nose to stay away?

Never heard of him apart from the last few pages in here so cant really comment but he cant be worse then Ole. Seems his MO is to overhaul and bring in his own style. If he is a high press guy he's fucked unless he sits Ronaldo. Going to be very interesting.

Could be a good appointment and just what they need. Get rid of the stuck in the 90s united way DNA bollocks.

Wonder what Ronaldo is thinking if someone is coming in to pay the law down

He hasn’t won anything. Bayern dominate the bundesliga. The reason he hasn’t gone to the two dominant German clubs in Bayern and Dortmund is due to how much control he wants. Bayern’s board would hate him. Dortmunds board are arrogant he wouldn’t work there.

but what Rangnick does is stabilise and input a philosophy at the club he is at. He has a very good eye for talent. Moving to a director of football for the rags annoys me because he will get the best coach possible for them we could see Ten Hag turn up. He’s also not scared to bench or sell players that disrupt his play style.

at Leipzig Werner or Poulson would press the fullbacks that would then lead to the midfield pressing till it looked like a square where all passing lanes were cut off then Sabitzer or their other midfielders kampl and Forsberg would intercept and launch the counter. Where the 4 fastest players in attack Werner, Bruma, Bernardo and Poulsen would attack as a four outnumbering the opposition defence which more often than not ended with a goal. He likes pacy attackers And quick transitions.

But the rags do not have the players with the discipline to do that. rags midfield full of egos and shit players. If Fred and mctominay try that it’s going to be a car crash.

So that’s the question — are the Glazers going to allow him the control he wants/needs and will he be allowed to bench/sell the “brand name” players they bought?

He's a shoe-in for their DoF, seems to be his past role. I don't know much of him apart from listening to his talks now to find out what his filosofee is. And from what I can gather, sounds like an outdated approach, and even if he is insistent in implementing this, he just doesn't have the players in united, certainly not within 6 months.

Looks more like a move to re-engineer their business process for the long-term.

They appointed a DoF a few months ago

Hope he fucks up and leaves them even worse than they are. Rag cunts.

He was only third choice though, Burt, Huey and Ralph, they make me sick

he'l be very limited to the January window as we all know so its not going to happen untill next August and by then he'l have packed his bags,,maybe he's sowing the seed for going into transition which is what they should have done when the turtle came in this is backed up by them sacking Ole and efectivly writing the domestic season off
