First Van Gaal was going to save them, then it was Mourinho, then it was Ole at the wheel and now there is a new saviour in Rangnick, it's the same old story, media wankfest about the guy who will finally get the rags back where they belong, their moronic fanbase fall for it and it all comes crashing down with everyone taking the piss out of them, get ready for a new season of the rags are still shite series.

The comparisons to Bielsa are funny. A guy who the footy hipsters call a genius despite having never heard of him til a day ago, and who hasn’t actually achieved all that much to deserve the acclaim.

Roll on Ragneck. I can’t wait.

Having 2 heads must be the reason for him being football's greatest thinker

So is Rangnick the German of Redknapp?
If so, I look forward to him hanging out of his X5 window giving a soundbite

Can we just dispense with the n please, and call him Ragnick or Rag-nick? Thanks.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

So media consensus seems to be he is some kind of football genius and the Rags getting him is shrewd. Yet if Maguire hadn't embarrassed himself in possession last week, Ragneck would still be cooling his heels in Moscow and Chelsea fans would be signing Ole's at the wheel tomorrow.

Colour me skeptical.

So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' "This'll be the day that football dies
This'll be the day that football dies"
