I can't understand why this guy is rated so highly. Probably the most overrated football manager in the world today. I've always seen him as a natural born loser and I hope he never gets anywhere near us.

He's arguably a safer bet than Zidane and ten Hag.

Anthony Taylor (from Manchester) has now been the referee for Chelsea vs Manchester City, and Chelsea vs Manchester United…

Again  it's time  for the FA  to intervene . 

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

If anything he will be under pressure to not make any more absurd officiating decisions. 

Least one would hope.

I would much rather it be Poch there than ten Hag or Zidane…not that Zidane was a real possibility.

I hope they get Zidane cuz I for one dont rate him at al, EPL would chew and spit him out in no time. But he has allegedly declined united.

Lol. I am guessing you have no idea who Ralf Rangnick is or his standing in football. 

Surprisingly, he is a massive figure in modern day football despite maybe not being someone with the sort of trophy haul Mourinho, Guardiola, Ferguson etc all have. He has earned the respect despite not having won a shit tonne of trophies, so the talk and respect he is getting for him and his career, its definitely earned. Even the oversight roles he has had, Red Bull’s footballing structure/business model was worth over €1.2 bn with him at the helm and he put the initial blocks in place with coaching himself at Leipzig, with appointments such as Hasenhuttl and Nagelsmann too who all fit the same sort of mould/idea/philosophy.

He has probably been the main reason/influence in why German footballs revolutionised the way it has over the last 15-20 years as well as why the standard of German coaches, who are all heavily influenced by him also such as Klopp, Nagelsmann, Flick, Tuchel (played under him at Ulm), have all gone on to become the sort of level of coaches/managers they are. All their principles and philosophies have a huge emphasis on counter pressing/gegenpressing  and quick transitional football which he is hugely renowned for developing. 

That said, I still think he will struggle to get Ronaldo to press and that is an issue for any Manchester United manager or any team that wants to be a top team because everyone presses … be it high press, half press, gegenpress/counter press etc, all the good teams do it.

I know who he is and what he has done and where he has been but come'on the dude has barely touched in Manchester and they talk about a revolution, EPL is another animal with tons of quality teams.....and they are already sucking his D? Its outright bizaar imo. Let him prove himself then do as you must. I dont care that he is the father of gegenpress and whatnot, you are not guaranteed anything in EPL.
