If ETH cannot speak out and demand what he needs to succeed, he should resign to leave United. And Rafiu accepting to become Austria's Coach while still on the job at United, tells a story of him not happy United appointed ETH full time instead of him. I believe he wanted the Job full time, but his rubbish performance as interim Manager didn't please the board.
Nah.

I think it speaks more about him seeing the rot in the club, trying to tell the powers above that they’re doing things the wrong way, and they blatantly ignoring his inputs.

And this is his way of resigning and jumping ship before it all goes to shit.

Of course, I may be wrong. But posterity will tell, fo sure.

Some folks just over think things like Pep does sometimes...

I don't even see a similarity in our writing style. Moreover, apart from Ole, we both disagree on a lot of subjects here but then...
LooL.

Don’t sweat it bro.

You two are the only guys I see here who end their sentences with several dots for effect.

Maybe there are others.

It’s not deep.

The decision made by the club and Ralf to part ways has nothing whatsoever to do with ETH. It was a consultancy role with the club not the manager, whatever he was to consult is with the club chiefs not the manager.

You guys should stop mixing it up, that was the exact thing ETH respectfully stated in his press conference.

If it was a DoF position, it would have been another thing but this is just a part time contract job.

We’re saying we need football people in top positions so that ETH can succeed. We’re saying this based on recent history.

You, on the other hand, are saying we don’t really need footballing people in top positions.

It doesn’t translate into wanting ETH to fail.

And I’m asking Postdigger to frame that post before you change your mouth in the future and start attacking ETH for underwhelming performances.
So Rauf is the footballing people that we need? Someone that has almost zero success over a 30 year career as a manager and director. Nawa o!

Ten Hag asked if he endorses Rangnick's consultancy role at #mufc: "That is on the club." #mulive

Ralf Rangnick had a lengthy conversation with Erik ten Hag before he left his position at #mufc #mulive [@jamesalanrobson]

The feeling within #mufc was that the changes being made to recruitment could go on without Ralf Rangnick #mulive [@jamesalanrobson]
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Ellexy: 10:37pm On May 29, 2022
First list is out....

Jurriën Timber and Lisandro Martínez feature on Erik ten Hag's #mufc shortlist, as does Antony. Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong are other candidates. Pau Torres is also admired #mulive [@hirstclass]

So, you believe the best role Ralf Rangnick can fill at Man Utd is as manager?

No wonder you’ve been arguing passionately about this issue for days. No wonder you’re a Man Utd board member.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Ellexy: 10:40pm On May 29, 2022
Veto system for transfers will remain in place under Erik ten Hag, who will report to John Murtough - he championed Ten Hag's appointment and is in charge of the football operation. Murtough is based at Carrington, which helps the club run more efficiently. [@hirstclass]
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Ellexy: 10:43pm On May 29, 2022
Marcel Bout and Jim Lawlor left #mufc in order to streamline the scouting operation, which is led by Steve Brown - he reports to John Murtough and makes informed decisions on targets in consultation with the recruitment department and the manager. [@hirstclass]
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by nitrogen(m): 10:43pm On May 29, 2022
@Leyqute, Rauf’s first director role was in 2012. Yes he has experience, but where and what kinda experience? This guy was a director at Red Bull and Lokomotiv Moscow.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Botfuss: 11:06pm On May 29, 2022
The board obviously do not like criticism of any kind and Ten Hag also undermined the role during his presser.

I pray he succeeds but he should be ready to take whatever comes his way if this decision backfires.

Ralf around any club would improve their structure. I don’t think people know how big the Red Bull project was— that’s like the biggest football project I’ve seen and Ralf was trusted to oversee it. Made them all playing same way.Make I just fold my hands.

Do you actually believe that Rauf is smart? He is just a talkative. He’s done nothing at Utd, nothing!

ETH will succeed here, with or without Rauf, insha allah.

I'm sure it's not. He knew he wasn't making the top 4 but still talked about looking forward to working with ETH and all. As at the final week of the season, he was still going to stay on at the club.

And I'm telling you there's no reason way a Consultant is being hired with that condition. So if he doesn't make the top 4, he's not a good consultant? Why would that clause be in there?
Yeah, I agree with you

He accepted after agreeing to stay as consultant, Rafiu left cos he was not offered the Managerial Job full time. I look forward to seeing his Austrian Team play gengen pressing footy, sha don't tell us he didn't have his kind of players in the National Team if he doesn't do well.....
Or the players downed tools, Lazy or have bad attitude.

Hating on a consultant of your football club for underperforming as a manager is another level of cluelessness.

Rangnick forever has my respect.

Man knew he didn't have the Consultancy position on lock but still went ahead talking about what's wrong with the club bluntly.
Wetin concern us, na we sack am?
He got another role and decided he can't combine both or whatever rubbish. I'm happy he left sha, was far worse than who he replaced and brought me a lot of sadness.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by melodyogonna(m): 7:15am On May 30, 2022
ChristoBam:
I bet the players are very excited with this news.
No more clear out, yeah? Open heart surgery, At least 10 new players,e.t.c all in the mud.
Dey talk like say na RR dey clear the players even if he still dey

Ajax’s lowest league position in the last 16 years is 3rd. They finished 2nd in the four years before ETH came in.

That’s not the same as taking a perennial struggler like United to the top in the premier league.

And what’s that about Ajax not having a structure? Lol.

Check the pix I attached. At each board level, they have a former football player or coach. And their board of directors contained two former experienced footballers- VDS and Overmars, who left in February.

Check pic 2. We have John Murtough as our football director. We have a chunk of football oldies as honorary director. We also have Darren Fletcher, who is less experienced than a newbie at the helm of affairs grin

And you want us to dance all over the street bexause they just lost RR who couldn’t propel an underperforming squad known for underperforming over the years to victory in 6 months as an interim manager?

Nah dude.

New blood is needed. We lost Paul Mitchell. We just lost RR.

You think ETH can do it all by himself? He might, but I’m not keeping my hopes up. He better think of himself first. He’s in a toxic work environment
So we never replace Matt Judge?
