TrebleChamp:Exactly. Also, he was desperate to take on the man utd job. Nobody should tell us that we should focus on the consulting bit of the arrangement. He wanted the role badly and even asked for a long term contract. Thank God the board was smart to offer him a six month stint. |

Why did Rafiu accept to become Austrian National Team Manager, if he was so interested in staying as consultant and help United rebuild? How will he be effective in his consultancy duties, while managing another team full time? 3 Likes 1 Share |

TrebleChamp:Do you actually believe that Rauf is smart? He is just a talkative. He’s done nothing at Utd, nothing! ETH will succeed here, with or without Rauf, insha allah. 4 Likes |

nitrogen: Don't mind him, Rauf, that took over Lokomotiv Moscow and made them worse than he met them. If ETH cannot suceed without the input of Rauf then he is not as good as we thought. 1 Like |

TrebleChamp: 1. Ten Haag worked in a structured environment at Ajax. He doesn’t have that at United. 2. Ajax has sufficient footballing people at top executive positions. At United, we have Fletcher, Murtough, and Nitrogen’s friends. They’re more interested in buying a player because he has lots of Instagram followers, not because he’s technically good and has drive and the tight mentality. Erik Ten Hag hasn’t really worked in a gbasgbos environment like United. It’s a coin toss if he’ll do fine. And with less footballing people around to support him, his odds reduces. If an animal flourishes when they’re underwater, it doesn’t mean they’ll flourish on land. 13 Likes |

nitrogen:I no even understand how people dey support that failed coach, they criticised Mourinho for speaking out and praise Rafiu for speaking out. Confused lots |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 8:48pm On May 29, 2022 |
TrebleChamp: He noticed the way ETH kept evading him as per face to face meeting. He knows his ideas will not be taken serious he jejely zoomed off to Austria. No sane person will watch Man United in the last few months and will be interested in listening to a man who managed the team. Can you imagine Pep or Klopp or Tuchel taking inputs from Rauf. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by nitrogen(m): 8:49pm On May 29, 2022 |
CapitalCee: Yeah. ETH mad sha, he gave the guy his size. Rauf the talkative wey sabi form familiarity with top managers. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 8:51pm On May 29, 2022 |
TrebleChamp: Don’t ruin this discussion with baseless accusations. We’re talking about creating a much needed structure at United where any coach that fits minimum requirements will thrive. You’re talking about something else. ETH will get his chance- that’s a given. But if the squad starts misbehaving. If performance drops and they can’t be arsed to put in the effort, know that the coach is not to be blame 100%. When a club has a structure that protects underperforming players, that’s what often happens. 2 Likes |

Why do I think this treblechamp guy is the same person as patrickmuf? They have the same mannerisms |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 8:54pm On May 29, 2022 |
Leyqute: 1. There is no structured environment in Ajax when they went 4 years in without a league until ten haag came in and won 4 in a row and reached the UCL semis? 2. If ETH is a good manager as he seems he should recognise when the Murtough and co are not making the right decision and consider resignation. 1 Like |

Can you imagine? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 9:02pm On May 29, 2022 |
Leyqute:If ETH cannot speak out and demand what he needs to succeed, he should resign to leave United. And Rafiu accepting to become Austria's Coach while still on the job at United, tells a story of him not happy United appointed ETH full time instead of him. I believe he wanted the Job full time, but his rubbish performance as interim Manager didn't please the board. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 9:07pm On May 29, 2022 |
CapitalCee:Don't see that eve happening, although we were told he is the Manager of Managers . Someone that called otu Ole for 1hr want to advice ETH on how to manage a team. I am even tempted to dig into Rafiu Managerial career, let me see what his hype was about. |

Leyqute:ETH made it clear in his presser that he doesn't need Rafiu's imput, so him leaving is actually a good thing to avoid clash of interest. Plus can you kindly explain why Rafiu accepted another job, while still working as a manager at United and had a consultancy agreement in place? |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 9:41pm On May 29, 2022 |
TrebleChamp:Cuz he was offered. He was going to be a consultant not a DOF. His team and sources around the club were all fine with it. Some were excited about the prospect of him seeing young talents first hand all over Europe. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by KingAlabi: 9:43pm On May 29, 2022 |
ETH didn't want RR As simple as that |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 9:48pm On May 29, 2022 |
ChristoBam:He accepted after agreeing to stay as consultant, Rafiu left cos he was not offered the Managerial Job full time. I look forward to seeing his Austrian Team play gengen pressing footy, sha don't tell us he didn't have his kind of players in the National Team if he doesn't do well..... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 9:50pm On May 29, 2022 |
nitrogen: We’re saying we need football people in top positions so that ETH can succeed. We’re saying this based on recent history. You, on the other hand, are saying we don’t really need footballing people in top positions. It doesn’t translate into wanting ETH to fail. And I’m asking Postdigger to frame that post before you change your mouth in the future and start attacking ETH for underwhelming performances. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 9:54pm On May 29, 2022 |
CapitalCee: So all of a sudden, we don't really need a good structure to get back to the top? Right? You think way na PSV or Feyenoord we dey try surpass? It's not rocket science that we need a good structure and a good manager. Ajax had a good structure and for a while suffered because they good managers they had got poached and they then appointed a wrong one. For example Peter Bosz took the job in between that 4 years. Had the backing of that structure. They brought in De ligt, VDB, De Jong, Onana and the likes. He got to the Europa league final that year. And before they could build on that, he was poached by Dortmund. But you know what, because of that structure, most of these players recruited still ended up making a huge mark. They fit in smoothly with Ten Hag when be came in. It didn't even take long to get them firing again. That's what a great structure does. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 9:56pm On May 29, 2022 |
TrebleChamp:A consultant job is not the same as a DOF. Cuz I don't get how he can't mix the two. Having an Austrian manager as a consultant isn't better than Murtough/Fletcher? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 10:08pm On May 29, 2022 |
ChristoBam:I said it here that Rafiu would make a good Director of football, cos he is outspoken and would tell players like Dablord to fvck off. That he failed woefully as an interim manager, doesn't mean he won't succeed as a Director of football. But clearly ETH doesn't want him around, and i don't support the idea of him being a consultant and working full time elsewhere. Let him go and improve Austria's National Team |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 10:18pm On May 29, 2022 |
CapitalCee: Ajax’s lowest league position in the last 16 years is 3rd. They finished 2nd in the four years before ETH came in. That’s not the same as taking a perennial struggler like United to the top in the premier league. And what’s that about Ajax not having a structure? Lol. Check the pix I attached. At each board level, they have a former football player or coach. And their board of directors contained two former experienced footballers- VDS and Overmars, who left in February. Check pic 2. We have John Murtough as our football director. We have a chunk of football oldies as honorary director. We also have Darren Fletcher, who is less experienced than a newbie at the helm of affairs And you want us to dance all over the street bexause they just lost RR who couldn’t propel an underperforming squad known for underperforming over the years to victory in 6 months as an interim manager? Nah dude. New blood is needed. We lost Paul Mitchell. We just lost RR. You think ETH can do it all by himself? He might, but I’m not keeping my hopes up. He better think of himself first. He’s in a toxic work environment
