The ONLY reason the Rag's have dug this guy up is because NOBODY else wanted the job.

Seriously, who would want to manage the likes of Marial, Rashford, Sancho, Poobag, PR37.... (and all the other sulky mard arses in their squad), with their crumbling infrastructure and shite facilities?

They are an absolute shitshow who have survived on reputation and myth for at least the last 10 years. Can't even fix their leaking roof.

If this footballing visionary has in mind a Liverpool MkII for Man Utd then it's going to take a long time, and a lot of investment. Imagine Harry Maguire organising a high defensive line and Ronaldo pressing up at the top of the pitch.

My guess is that Utd fans think their squad is massively under-achieving and that they should be more competitive. But this guys footballing philosophy is Liverpool. From where Man Utd start that is going to take a lot of time and pain and he is an interim manager. They are making a huge decision with this, basically committing themselves to a long term project but I don't think their executives realise what is in store. This not going to work out in 6 months.

Perhaps they realise this but their fans certainly don't. I had a look on their fan You Tube channel and they think this is fantastic but for this to work they need a period of rebuilding whereas they think they've got a ready-made squad with great players and just need to flick a switch.

It may be something like this is necessary for Utd but I suspect that they are not ready for a period in the wilderness, and they will jettison him after 6 months of inevitable struggle. Rome doesn't get built in a day. Liverpool got completely run down. Their ambitions were low. Man Utd are not humbled yet. Their fanbase isn't ready for the pain that awaits. My guess is they will struggle and at the end of the season they'll jettison him completely believing that they have a title-winning squad that just needs the right man.

Having no knowledge of the rags latest saviour, my only fear is that he might actually help to improve them .

If he is to " manage " the team on a temporary basis , where does he fit in with the current management team of the Govan Bully and the portugese ponce ?

Hopefully this is just another fuck up in waiting with the media whores raising the expectations of their lemming supporters, only to crash and burn again.

Sending all concerned my absolutely worst wishes for their next initiative .

Sadly the media whores will benefit - total cunts .
 
It’s an interesting appointment but I think far from conclusive that it represents any significant move away from the way they have operated since Ferguson left the dugout.

Woodward and Ferguson have presided over a disastrous period since he retired as manager. Woodward knows nothing about football and Ferguson still thinks it’s the 90’s.

Many Rags are convinced RR is coming in as a DOF type who will completely restructure the football side of the club and modernize it. He does have some notable successes within Germany and clearly has more football knowledge than Darren Fletcher (lol) and the rest of the inbred “United DNA” set.

However I’d wager his 2 year consultancy is just that. A consultant, someone who gives input but has no real authority. I suspect they want him for his scouting knowledge and connections, but that the football structure will continue as is with Ferguson and other holdovers from the Ferguson era making the big calls.

I would guess in the summer the new manager will be either Poch or Rodgers and neither will be taking orders from a consultant who has been with the club for 6 months. Poch has already signalled he wants to be a traditional manager and given time to build a project. Rodgers is cut from the same cloth.

The enthusiasm on Ref Caf is mostly because many there realize their club is behind the times and they are desperate to be modernized but I think they are dreaming.

The incompetence of Woodward and Ole was bound to end eventually, but I don’t see this as being much more than a slight upgrade. They will continue to operate well below our standards.

They have spent so much time chasing commercialism and employing people based on just that model that they somewhere forgot that there is a football team.

Assuming that they can spend shitloads of brass and expect to stay top of the pile without a stable team with an identity is what's killing them. I am just hoping that by the time they realise the Glazers will kill them off and put them in the football wilderness for ever.

From European football journalist Julien Laurens (who?) on the BBC website: "I was a bit surprised. I can see why he took that job - you can't say no to United whoever you are."

Well, a few did it seems.

At least 5 (Zidane, Mancini, Ancelloti, Bodgers, Conti) and probably Poochie and a few others no doubt.
 
The media hype over this so called “revolutionary manager” (that almost nobody has ever heard of) is the most delusional the Rag media mouth pieces have been in years.

It’s funny that none of them mention the fact that in the last few weeks
Barcelona
Spurs
Newcastle
Aston Villa
Norwich
Have all been looking for a new manager but not once as this guys name been mentioned.

The BBC's and Sky's coverage of this potential appointment is hilariously predictable

If any other club (apart from the obvious other one that wears red) were about to make this move, they'd be getting ridiculed by these two totally impartial broadcasters

The media coverage is bizarre. Surely the most positive slant you could possibly put on this move is that it is a big gamble. Whatever the tactical credentials of Ragnick he has zero track record of managing a major club let alone one owned by the Glazers, directed by Ed Woodward, with a bitter former manager lurking in the background. The odds are stacked against anyone coming in to turn things round.
The only chance United have got is if the Glazers sell-up and there is a total clear-out of the dead wood which is rife across all areas of the club from the dressing room to the boardroom. The club is rotten to the core.
