Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[Barefoot Doctor]

Big fan of Rangnick, in his opening press conference, saying he might recommend to the board that they keep him as manager for longer than six months. 

[rob1966]

Would be funny if it turned out Carrick was actually a really great manager.

He's likely better than the version of Hodgson they are drooling over 😊

[leroy]

Stamp on your owner player and then whinge at the ref when it costs you a goal.  Seriously how do these idiots have any self respect when they watch this shit back?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

[the_red_pill]

The thing I'm enjoying most about this is the way United fans seem intent on pretending that they've always known who Rangnik was/is. Had you told me 10 days ago that they were going to sack Solkjaer and replace him with a complete unknown that no one has ever heard of then I never would of believed you. I'd of thought there's no way it could get this good. But here we are. Fuck me    

Tbf, Rangnick has been linked with them for years, so some are used to the thought of him managing them. They thought they was getting him, but then they got hit with a massive Moyesie slam!
Glad they stayed away from someone like Flick.
That guy and Pottechino are the only other managers that make me nervous one of our rivals may land them.

Unbelievable lack of shame

[Dull Tools]

Must be nice for them to see Penalty get back on the score sheet. He has had a bit of a drout so they might have turned the corner if he gets back on form.

He’d obviously stopped playing for the previous manager. Shithouse!

[Oldmanmick]

Unbelievable lack of shame

& self awareness.

[Oldmanmick]

Reading a lot of the headlines of their match last night, you'd think that Ronaldo had won the match all on his own. Manchester United have really become the biggest circus in town over recent years.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Is this the fella who was spouting allsorts of piss when we were after Naby?

[rob1966]

Pretty sure it is yes, that's why I remember the name. Certainly not because he won anything.

He pretty much did, which is funny as fuck as he's making himself undroppable.

[Mister Flip Flop]

It’s the United way

Celebrate failure

That's actually hilarious. Same idiots booing him a few days earlier.

[rossipersempre]

Yep, the “whole village in Guinea” comment that was borderline racist IMO.

Yet the Mancs typically banging on like he’s the German equivalent of Rinus Michels.

Wait til they  find out he's the German Roy Hodgson.

Wishful thinking Rob, think he’s more akin to a German Bielsa in terms of reputation vs. achievement.

List his achievements against the Owl's

[idontknow]

So Ralf RangBigDickNick? Could be costly.

[CraigDS]

I get the feeling we're going to get a lot of laughs out of this set up until the end of the season 

[the_red_pill]

Haha!!
"Herr Flick"!

Only if he came through on my Premium Rate number.

Ta.

Oh, yeah, forgot aboot that. The way everyone’s going on about him is bizarre. It’s exactly like who you’ve just mention3d. If this was an appointment for any other club they’d be calling him a has been

[Andy82lfc]

So after Carrick said he has not even spoke to Rangnik, Rangnik comes out and says he had a long deep conversation two days ago with Carrick 

[Andy @ Allerton!]

And as Carrick walked away....his limp straightened out. A car pulled up and he got in.

And just like that..

Poof...

He was gone!!

[Dim Glas]

Wishful thinking Rob, think he’s more akin to a German Bielsa in terms of reputation vs. achievement.

Careful, you’ll be told to stop being so serious on this thread 

but yeah, the Roy Hodgson shouts here are miles off the mark.   Rangnick is a wierd one, but has always been a very progressive coach, who tends to coach good football to watch.

[Samie]

Had a manc come up to me the other day and say " Our fella taught Klopp everything he knows and we've got the master". All I said was " Didn't know Ralf 's other name was Arrigo Sacchi".  He looked at me in a way that told me he had no idea who Sacchi was.

How long have United fans been making that noise when Ronaldo does his stupid celebration? It’s disgustingly cringeworthy.

You can do that to, it’s called the mute button 

I want to mute the dumbass comms but still get the crowd noise.

They have appointed a manager who used to be decent, but now he's washed up. He reminds me of Rafa. Poor man's Rafa in fact.

[elsewhere]

Rangnick seems like a bit of a problem kind, isn't he?  I can definitely see him clashing with the board.

[elsewhere]

So after Carrick said he has not even spoke to Rangnik, Rangnik comes out and says he had a long deep conversation two days ago with Carrick 

To be fair, maybe a 30 seconds talk is a big deep conversation for a German

honestly I think its the only good thing about his return to the club. the place is a library half the time anyway

I'd rather be quiet than make that noise. My 11 yr old does it because he knows I hate it, the fucking little wind up merchant.

His mother egging him on no doubt because you <insert petty random domestic excuse>

Even my Manc-indoctrinated stepson finds it embarrassing, and he painfully defends Pogba to the hilt.

Half? Being generous there.

What’s worse? An Emptihad or a full OT with all the atmosphere of a funeral on the lunar surface?

It's all his own doing Little shit is a Red too, which makes it worse.

She did teach him a couple of their shitty songs when he was younger which he sung at me, the yip yap Stam one, the who put the ball in the germans net and feed the scousers

He does rip the piss out of her though, he was brutal after the 5-0

[Ghost Town]

Siuuuuu is the Portueguese version of saying something like "Yay!!!" or maybe "Yeee-haaa!". What kind of knobster goes "Yay!!" or "Yee-Haa" when they score a goal? When you can run around screaming and pretending to commentate your own name like Marco Tardelli did

Not something I’ve ever been accused of

For me, he comes across as a more arrogant version of Bielsa except without the weird idiosyncrasies (sweet shop bedsit, bucket squat and conjoined interpreter).
