Who is this Ragnarok fella? Eh? Does he signify the final end of the SAF era. I really do hope so. It's been far too long coming.

Perhaps the Board has woken up. £100s of millions wasted trying to flog a dead horse.

from what I've read about him and heard from other people, he seems to know an awful lot about football, the things that folks like me don't understand or get to see.
I hope he puts some things straight and maybe if all goes well move into a higher roll. The more real football people at our club the better I say!

He's been offered a two year consultancy role after his six months interim role apparently.
I think he owns a sports consultancy company. He must have excellent contacts within all aspects of the game. I think if the two year role is true, then this signifies the clubs openness to change. It's an interesting appointment in my opinion.

When a Rangnick team beat Dortmund, 4.1 years ago, read what Klopp said.

We need to get to where they are now, ’ a devastated Klopp said in the aftermath of that hammering. ‘Tactical behaviour is not like riding a bike, unfortunately. You have to practise again and again. ’

We have needed a leader, direction, strategy, methodology, all things Ole didn’t have. The promised land will not arrive in 6 months, but if the club have finally woken up and use this interim, listen and add him at higher level I am hopeful it is the change badly needed and something we should have done when SAF retired, I was asking for it back then.

At least we know what we are getting tactically from Rangnick and that he has his own vision for how to play. I do worry if some of our players have the intensity and work rate to implement his style of play so there may be a few Fallings out. If we do go for poch though at least our team will have had 6 months of expecting pressing from the front.

Booked.
A lot of Chelsea players were labelled lazy under Lamport.
Tuchel got them all at it. If you don't step up under ralf you won't play.

Ken that's what I mean about falling out with people as you are correct that if they don't put the effort in they will not play. I don't believe some will be up for doing this so interesting times ahead. At least now there is hope.

Agree buddy. Long may it last. For the 1st time in years imo its a step in the right direction.
