“We have a good squad”

It's not his fault that he believed he could do the job. It was the fault of the people hiring him.

Obviously yeah.

Fat Sam with 3 years and £0.5B though... could've been pretty special.

I mean Fat Sam instead of Ralf just to get us top 4.

He'd have been worse than Ole in any kind of longterm situation.

I think Ralf was mainly brought in not to manage the team but to tell people how football clubs run but he insisted on the management job and they went '£#%&! it.'

the clown that really set us back years.

The club is ran badly (self evident)
We appointed a renowned director of football and asked him to coach.
Then appointed an up and coming coach (ETH) and have so far asked him to be our sporting director.

Ralf was worse than Moyes ..

It was a bad appointment but Ralf gave up before he even took over. They tried their idea of his pressing by themselves then he arrived and said "don't bother, you are shit."

yep, absolutely destroyed the cultural reboot and foundations Mourinho was laying.

Weird how Erik has got this squad pressing though from the front, evident in pre season...

What a fraud that Ralf guy was....

It's not just Ronaldo wasn't there. It helped though.

One of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Facts.

Yes we have a wonderful squad!

I can't wait to watch Fred & The Scottish Player on Sunday start their fourth season as the core of our midfield starting 11!

They are world class players and the envy of all of Europe for sure.

Pretty soon every player from Barcelona will be jumping ship to join our magnificent squad!

Ridiculous statement

Least Moyes gave us some decent memories.

Ralf’s tenure was the most embarrassing period in our recent history, not sure anyone can dispute that?

Ralf walked in, stated the obvious, then sat down and did nothing but suck on Werthers Originals for the rest of his tenure. An absolute nothing of a manager. Was the equivalent of bringing in Junior Soprano once the dementia had already taken hold.

Looking back it was just weird…would love to know what was going on in the inside. Who picked him and why?

Nah we haven’t.

we will be in crisis mode 8 games in.

a ronaldo led team with Bruno just behind him will stink up the place.

regardless of ETH and his methods. mark my words.
