Ye-es. But you have to include LVG himself on the United side if the theory proposed above is to hold water: LVG knows about it and will step down gracefully, etc.

I still don't see the iron clad logic in allowing LVG to blunder on as some sort of caretaker, I have to say - nor why we haven't announced the deal (in order to placate fans and boost business). But those issues aren't directly relevant, I'll concede.

Van Gaal may know, but he'll have no interest in telling anyone. It may also be his request for us to keep it quiet if he fears it'll damage the players concentration.
 
Or...they're refusing to deny the Mourinho rumours because that would imply we're intent on keeping LVG, which would lead to riots on the streets of Redcafe & elsewhere.

Aye. In the "no final call has been made" scenario, that makes sense. If they simply haven't decided yet, they're obviously not going to come out and deny the Mourinho part of the (possible) equation. To the fans that would effectively mean either LVG or Giggs - and thus riots.
 
Van Gaal may know, but he'll have no interest in telling anyone.

True. But I'll say this: If he knows - and has known for months - he's done an excellent job coming across as someone who doesn't know. Several of his performances for the journos have been pure histrionics if he actually knows: He's managed to sound oddly defensive - borderline bitter, even - in exactly the manner you'd associate with someone who fears he's headed for an exit he doesn't desire (because he's a proud man and whatnot).

But who knows - perhaps he's actually a brilliant actor, contrary to what most have assumed about his so-called honesty/naivety.
 
Maybe he's one of those sex masochists I've heard about.

Louis van Gaal at the receiving end
 
Poor Louis - he's gone from looking like David Bowie's dad being followed by José in a UFO...

It's obvious Mourinho is coming, why do people torture themselves?

During the next 3 weeks, we win the Cup, we pip City for 4th, City and Liverpool get knocked out of the CL & EL this week, Leicester win the PL and LvG announces his retirement and that he hands over the reins to his good friend Jose

I'm going to go along with this line of thinking even though it sounds too good to be true. It really is the least we deserve for putting up with all this though so here's hoping you're right.

I'd say he's certainly got the ability...

 
Woody better not be trolling us. The shit will hit the fan if he confirms Lvg is staying.Be so toxic next season.

Wouldn't all of this be fab?:drool:
:(

It is the first time I will not be watching this. Until the last half hour last year it was boring as hell and we had shown promise then. This year I really don't want to hear anything he has to say unless it is that he's going. I will have a night of Italian football instead and let others on here who are more stoic souls keep me informed.
 
I'd laugh if in his drunken stupor he decides to discuss Giggs problems and is carried off in a straightjacket.

He'd link it to Masochistic sex, no doubt. Then he'll pull his own hair while pulling faces before proceeding to throw himself to the floor while humping his mic.
Jim Rosenthal looks on in disgust.
 
Good point :lol: The cat shall soon be out of the bag.
Giggs you should not flirt with your hotel waitress, why you shplit with your wife? By the way Mourinho is new manager, how ish life giggs? Wanna come over to my palace in algarave? Then slap his head off.

You wonder if LvG is going and if he slaps Giggs round the head, this time Giggs might just punch him back.
 
People say it was staged. Im not so sure tbh
The point is this is in responding to a post wondering whether LVG is a good actor, playing a role for Woody master plan. By the video, LVG seems to be a good actor.

Wrong. 80% of the Caf want him out. You speak to match going fans and the number is not so high. Don't let this place be a good gauge for what United fans want or think.
All the fans I know, match goers and not, all want him gone. If anything the poll on here is soft because of all the oppo fans voting.
