I'm sure they know how the fans feel. There are more and more empty seats at games and the booing has been pretty loud. I just think they don't give a shit, they probably think we're all idiots who'll keep paying to watch United out of blind loyalty, whether we're happy with the football or not.
BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

And lets not forget...if/when you get the sack, you a get a huge pay-off, a sum similar to that of winning the lottery.
The manager can't lose!
It's absolute lunacy!
We are not 'giving up' on United. We just not encouraging the top brass to think that we're happy with the product they're selling us. Nothing wrong with that. I'd give up football totally than ever think about supporting any other club - it ain't gonna happen. However, I believe those of us who feel this way should send correspondence to United telling them our plans, and sticking to our stand, by not buying any merchandise and such. For me, it's also the principle.
I don't mind the club going through a bad patch through no fault of theirs, but their decision making is entirely avoidable and it's obvious they don't give a feck about what fans want. So in that case, I don't believe we should enable them by giving them the one thing they like - MONEY.

No-one is giving up on United Sultan. I'm sure a lot of the people who you think have 'given up' have been following United for as long, if not longer, than you and care about the club every bit as much.
United's football has been terrible all season, and there are two clear ways of reacting. One is to keep cheering the team, buying matches, buying merchandise etc., which is absolutely fine. The other way is to get angry, voice displeasure during games and on the forums and stop buying tickets/merchandise. To me, that's fine too.
The loyalists might think that the people who are complaining are spoilt and bitter, but the people in the other camp think those who refuse to voice their displeasure are deluded happy-clappers who are making the situation worse.
Why don't we all just call a truce on this and respect each other's point of view, rather than squabbling over who is and isn't a real United fan after every bit of bad news?

He also states that he will bring back success to the club.
Yet, he continues to target the 4th place trophy.
It's almost like this is an April fools joke, which has been made up by a fan on twitter, for a laugh.
The only problem is that it really has happened.
Same thing happened when Moyes was happened (surely it was an April fools joke...but it actually happened).
The board are capable of some idiotic decisions.
he will build the FA cup to be glory, and nobody will say boo to him
Be fecking hilarious if Palace beat us
No, no it wouldn't at all
I meant in the context of VG bigging it up and then falling flat on his face if he can't deliver. Let's face it, most of us have no bloody confidence for any matches. Therefore, it's not inconceivable we get beat by Palace.
How the hell can a United fan think it would be hilarious if we lost the Cup Final
You don't do sarcasm???How the hell can a United fan think it would be hilarious if we lost the Cup Final
Edit - read my reply up top.
Nope, still not seeing the funny side
You don't do sarcasm???
Edit - read my reply up top.
Saw that, where's the sarcasm, We win the Cup, LvG goes , there's the irony
I wish I were that confident he would go! Just telling the crowd at POTY awards that he wants to win titles next year......
I was answering someone when I wrote my thing. Basically being sarcastic in that, he's placing a lot of emphasis on the FA Cup and winning it etc. However, what if he doesn't win it? Then what excuse is he gonna make then? Something like this... etc etc
That certainly didn't sound like someone who knew they were going.
I am starting to think that he will remain here. God save us all
Only now?
I've said this since the end of January. If they weren't going to sack him after that shitfest in December, they never were.
Nah, he's still off. Van Gaal is a beaten man that won't be seen to be beaten. That's all.
I refuse to think that our board of directors are such idiots. Jeez the thought of watching another year of this boring football is unbearable and what happens after will be worse
Someone leave Ed a note and tell him I'm tempted to hire Ray J's booty goons for him if he doesn't sack this clown in charge at the end of the season.
It's no longer even 4th. He's justifying us doing well by saying we are still in the top 5.
Writing a nice polite note to United via their email info thingy tomorrow, plus ask them to stop sending me all those emails, cause I ain't buying nothing.
Calm down sir, can I call a family member for you?
Leicester winning the league should should be more than good enough reason for this buffoon to be sacked.
Woodward still can salvage his status by hiring Mourinho. If things go badly next season with Van Gaal then it will be all down on him.

This is like when people were convinced Moyes was staying because he said he was planning the signings for next year.
There are more than enough reasons to sack Louis. Settling for top 4 is one, in my opinion. Being happy with being in the top 5 with a chance of winning the FA Cup is exactly what Arsenal have become and we have allowed standards to slip. Add to that our brand of shite and ineffective football and the fact that we are one of the worst teams at creating chances and we have a debacle right now if we don't change things up.
People need to calm down. No decision has been made yet, despite Mourinho and his camp trying to encourage the club to make one. It may be made before the Cup Final but for obvious reasons it won't be communicated (if it needs to be) until after that.
I don't know where this "settling for 4th" is coming from. Nobody's "settling for 4th" but that's the best we can currently get. That's (apparently) the minimum contractual requirement.
Yeah, I still think LvG will be here next season as I have thought for months now.
Make of this what you will, especially the final sentence :

That alone should be a sackable offense, the fact that the achievement of such a low target could save his job speaks volumes about our standards and the paucity of bravery, decisiveness and vision at the upper echelons of the club's management. A wanker like Moyes wouldn't even get an interview at other clubs of our size, Van Gaal wouldn't survive that December shitfest and Giggs wouldn't be a serious candidate - the fact that all of these occured is bizarre and is evidence of the malaise besetting this great club.
Trouble is that Giggs has only known success and if it does get worse he had no experience of dealing with failure. Gary Neville shows that, fine winning with United, fine qualifying with England. Didn't know what to do with a failing Valencia side.
It could be argued Mourinho knew feck all about how to prevent a downward slump of form with Chelsea.
I know mate, it's really worrying.
I just cannot understand why they would overlook a world travelled, highly experienced coach that has had success in every country he's worked in for the Van Gaal Giggs double act. It's insanity.
Then maybe Jose isn't the man, but Giggs sure as hell isn't either. Big Sam anyone. Just think Jose has the pulling power where players are concerned. I am worried that our transfer dealing with summer are going to be very underwhelming and that the big players will turn us down for better projects.
Who can blame them? Why would a top top player come and play for van Gaal after what we have seen for the last two years? Money, that's the only thing we got going if the fraud stays.
Then that type of player is joining for the wrong reason and once their contract is signed we will not get the performances.
