Are they going to let him park in the gaffer's space?

Due to the order of deference that surely belongs to Matt Busby.

If Raggy Nick is so brilliant why is he the interim manager? Why not just give him the job for real?

Because the Glazers aren't sure if they can control him, and they want/need an out if they can't. They will never allow a wholesale rebuild, because that will take years of wandering in the desert and even more money whilst damaging the "brand" built of "success."

Also, let's face it, after the revolving door they've been, it'd be terribly embarrassing to have to shit-can yet another guy. So they name him as a long-term interim so if it doesn't get turned around, they aren't sacking him because he's failed -- he's leaving because he's "interim". And then the consulting gig can be whatever they want it to be, including paying him for two years of doing nothing. They "save face", he gets paid and burnishes his resume.

The Glazers should sell this football club ASAP before its value is further tarnished. But they probably won't as long as they can suck liquidity out of it.

Both great thinkers, so good they made sure they were named after the club they managed.

Ragnick looks like Sean Lock, but I don't suppose he's as funny.

Bastard! I was just about to post that in the 'Seperated at birth' thread!

That prick who supports Forest pretentiously calls him Rarnyick

Get wrecking Ralph.

 

[Fred_Quimby]

You have to admit that the new guy has to be better than Ole let’s face it he couldn’t be any worse.

Still SCUM though.

So when they are going on that he inspired klopp and tuchel, what actually happened was:
He beat klopp in a game who then changed his style a bit.
He gave a former player a job with the youth team and never spoke to him again.

 

[give it to gordon]

Next season will have

Pisscan in the back ground having his say.
Redneck being a consultant.
Fletcher the technical consultant
And a first team manager

Just watched the Keane & Carragher spat. Comedy Gold

I didn't really understand what they were arguing about and found it boring. It's obvious Ronaldo was bought for commercial reasons and with no thought to how he would fit into the team. Keane must know this, he's not that stupid. These engineered spats are all about keeping the Rags relevant during their wilderness years.

Pisscan in the back ground having his say.
Redneck being a consultant.
Fletcher the technical consultant
And a first team manager

And John Murtough as director of football

4 people doing one job

Yeah, Klopp was influenced by Wolfgang Frank who in turn was influenced by Arrigo Sacchi.

At the end of the day, we've got Pep, and that's why City fans really don't give f.uck.

 

[kaz7]

I hope they get ‘a football raping’ today. Humiliate them like we did. It will just show the whole world how far they’ve fallen.

A draw or rag win would be best for us, but there’s more likely to be free beer down the pub than that.

never ever a need for that phrase

and they didnt want him anyway as he brings no guarantee of success
