Woodward as CEO was wrose than The Munich Disaster for Utd

How was Munich a disaster for United?
Munich was a tragedy on so many levels for the victims and their families but United turned it into a PR opportunity and used it to gain sympathy and fans.
They exploit it to this day.

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.

Rangnick turned out to be smarter than we gave him credit for.

Treated the bereaved families appallingly then years later milked the event for all its worth when they realised they could make money out of it.

Like the dippers, they control the media. They had absolutely no interest in the Munich disaster (apart from the wave of sympahty) until some marketing bod realised there was money to be made.

He knows he's fucked it when his own stupid fucking co-hosts want nothing to do with what he's said.

Yet look at the comments to his heart felt "please don't stop giving me money" apology, every one of them a disgrace:

Jabba the rag
