    We are quite entertaining to watch now and seem to have some sort of plan?

    Well some of us have been telling you where we've improved, on the pitch where it matters, but you're not listening.

    The only thing regarding the rest of your post is, that appointing an interim has its disadvantages - that's not specific to Rangnick but anyone. However, it was clear when Ole was sacked that we couldn't rush the appointment of a permanent manager and so risk making the same mistakes as the past. I guess we had to bring in an interim, and I can only guess we brought in Rangnick because he is a precursor to the direction the club wants to head in with the next permanent managerial appointment. Hence why Rangnick will be given a consultancy role upstairs afterwards.

    Keeping Ole would've done nothing to move us forward or prepare for the direction the club wants to go. Plus the performance and results were becoming shamefully embarrassing.

    Yeah, we're ****ed up front, that's where the problem lies. For as long as we have to rely on Ronaldo, Sancho, Cavani, Rashford and Elanga we're ****ed for sure.

    What ****ing direction is that then, what is the great King Ralf teaching the unenlightened English football world that we couldn't see until he arrived from the lower tiers of Russian football - blind leading the blind and taking the ****tards along with them.

    Our lack of finishing is where out problem lies, we're creating bundles of chances. Just not converting.

    Our defence is a liability so we have to convert chances and outscore the opposition which we're not doing despite the chances we're creating.

    I know the actual football, that thing we do on the pitch, is something you never want to talk about, but what I've said is the reality.

    Great ****ing plan - let's finish fifth - Ole could have manger that without trashing the dressing room.

    We do still struggle against a good block defence, we don't have enough intelligent players that make "dummy" runs to pull defenders away and create a bit of space/time for the strikers.

    He's turning a fifty tonne artic lorry weighted with the baggage of the past 6/7 years, on a dual carriageway.

    That's what he's doing right now.

    So, our attackers are crap, our defence is **** and our overall play is ................. why didn't someone point out all these improvements before - how could I have been so blind. Now I see - we are no ****ing further forward than we were and all you ****ers are jizzing off over some has been German who should be working as a second tier coach at Reading.

    Absolutely this. The movement of our forwards in the final third is ****. They either ball watch or end up occupying the same space in the box and easily get crowded out by defenders.

    Actually we are all quite excited about the fact that many of the players are now starting to show their ability.

    What part of how our build up play, creativity and attacking football has improved, did you not understand? We were creating fck all, barely making it past the half-way line, passing it around our defence ad-infinitum under Ole. The football was dire.

    At least we have some creativity, we're passing the ball netter and moving it forward and actually pose an attacking threat. I'd rather we were creating 10-20 chances and not scoring than passing it round the back, inviting pressure on our defence and losing 4/5 nil.

    All the stories, the crap in the papers, the agents reaction - it never happened under the previous manger - we were way of the pace but there was harmony in the dressing room. King Ralf cannot command the same level of respect as OGS and his underwhelming US staff and disquiet about their training methods have been a matter of public record for some time. All I'm saying is that the club should have left OGS in place, yes he would have been a dead man walking and the season was a write off, but they could have retained the stability on and off the pitch until a new manager was found. King Ralf is going to be the worst thing that happened to this club for a long time - to think that someone like Rashford has become ****e and disillusioned just reinforces the point.
