@drunkenmaster you've been called!!!

I still feel like he will be back at some point. Hes just writing his manifesto.

Redcafe has decided that Poch isn't the right guy. Lost to City yesterday and can't get Messi, Neymar and Mbappe working for the team so clearly a red flag. You couldn't make it up.

It's a point though, he's had almost a year at PSG and if he can't make the team play cohesively after 11 months or so, how long will it take at UTD?

Its a completely different job. Poch is basically being asked to make the team play like the most aesthetically pleasing teams about while having to make his team defensively robust with only 7 outfield players ever really helping out. Hes being asked to make a team that can walk the French league somehow up their game massively whenever the CL comes around. Hes being told "you can't drop any of these 3 players".

Then you have the issue that when a team is walking their league and the manager wants to push them and try to get them to play in a different way, they might just say "nah, we are 10 points clear in the league, we don't need to change".

There is a reason PSG go through managers in such fast fashion. Its an impossible job. I really hope Zidane takes over and they have exactly the same issues even though on paper he is the perfect manager for them.

Rangnick confirmed with 2 year consultancy afterwards :eek:

omnomnom · 25 Nov 2021 at 15:16

Rangnick it is. 6 month deal then 2 year consultancy deal. Just awaiting Locomotiv Moscow approval and work permit.

;/ wanting him at the Toon. Good appointment.

That's not very banter club

doodah · 25 Nov 2021 at 15:25

Wait what? BBC aren't showing ****.

Off to Google to see who Rangnick is....

Converge · 25 Nov 2021 at 15:28

I approve

Robbo · 25 Nov 2021 at 15:29

I am over the moon with this, it could mean a significant change in the running of the club. He's a very good manager but knows the 'Director of Football' side of things inside out.

Really couldn't be more ideal.

doodah · 25 Nov 2021 at 15:30

Where would a good decision like this come from though......

The Glazers, Woodward :eek:

Murtough likes him, I believe (he's our Football Director, whatever that means). Woodward too I think.

I'd be overjoyed if I were you lot, good chance he might move upstairs after as well! Wealth of experience and expertise!

Brilliant piece of business getting him in. Defo surprised me!

I think its a good appointment but mainly because of the consultancy part and finding a new manager etc. Not sure about the management side tbh.

Yes that's certainly fantastic news. Manager wise, he's all about Gegenpressing, will be fascinating to see that implemented

and slightly worrying

JamesH85 · 25 Nov 2021 at 15:40

If he can apply what he's done at Hoffenheim/schalke and Leipzig to Man Utd, it would be incredible.

In that regard it would be interesting to see how long certain members of United's front line stick around. I imagine Martial might be in the firing line, i mean he should be anyway but still.

The main issue is Ronaldo, he can still run a fair bit IMO but not like the younger players. He needs to be playing as much as possible though.
