That's xGraham Potter to you.
I have to give you credit for trying to will this into existence since page one
The odds were like 40/1 when I said it for the first time. They are getting smaller and smallerI have to give you credit for trying to will this into existence since page one
That’s a lot of Germans in London. Could we call their playing style a “blitzkrieg”?Imagine...... Now stay with me on this.
Flick as manager
Rangnick as DOF

Bielsa type football will only take you so far.
Red Nick is NOT the answer !
I mainly said it in jest, but knowing very little about both of these guys you could have some good points.I think Rangnick likes to develop young coaches into his way of doing things, so as DOF he'd ideally like to employ a disciple, and probably a German one. The likes of Werner and Hasenhuttle are Rangnick "products", and they have/are coming up a bit short, and Rangnickism in its purest form seems to have limitations that hit a glass ceiling, certainly in the PL, whereas the better Rangnick disciples develop the philosophy further with their own ideas, these are coaches like Nagelsmann and Tuchel.
Potter is someone who's developed his own ideas of football and a Ragnick/Potter combo could be a recipe for conflict or it could produce an interesting dynamic that produces good results.

There's no doubt Ralgf Rangnick is a footballing visionary.
However, if he had the attributes required to become a successful manager, why have no German clubs taken the risk of appointing him? Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig etc. have all had managerial vacancies in recent years, and chosen not to put him in.
“There was some bad translation from Google Translate during the interview. Levy said he would not back the new manager with a huge transfer budget, but Google Translate didn’t pick up the “not” as Levy whispered the “not” part of the sentence. When this was clarified Rangnick decided to take a step back. Levy was left astounded at the poor quality of Google Translate’s English.”Waiting for the follow up tweet where "Tottenham didn't end up wanting Rangnick after finding out he's not fluent in English"
The chairman cheated a bit money wise, but he still beat Galatasaray, Herta Berlin, Bilbao and Woolwich with a little Swedish team where the whole team costed less than Woolwich's cheapest player.Wasn't Potters team in Sweden bank rolled though?
I genuinley think Sean Dych has more credentials than him
