You seem very negative in your posting lately, Kostur
Louis van Gaal has done us all.
Not the best combination.It's him and the winter depression I guess
Mourinho to lead us for 3 years with Terry learning the trade under him. Then leave the stage for Terry to manage us. Interesting times ahead.

Very good article! Thanks for posting Steve.
He should go to a much smaller club and learn his trade first, then. This is the most pivotal point in the club's recent history. One more poor appointment and we're fecked. Giggs shouldn't be in contention.
In my humble opinion, I think it's part arrogance, part ignorance and partly because he does love the club in his own way.
Good to see no one is overreacting about Mourinho
I'm pretty sure 90%+ of fans would not want John Terry.
The emotions are strong in this one!
It must be the four titles in a row, because anyone who has actually seen his Ajax knows he has bored the fans to death, and they know how to appreciate possession football and they are quite forgiving when there's a bit of dwelling because they are absolutely not forgiving of untidy passing. The majority wants him to go, bad football, titles because of failing competition, terrible cup results, teribble European results, beaten and humiliated by lot lesser clubs, terrible signings.
He tries to imitate LvG's style, but the only part he understands is the possession. Doing something with it, like beeing defensively strong and producing free flowing football like LvG generally does (allthoug he has often struggled here with that) is compleletly beyond him as the last 5 years have shown. And that's with Ajax, those players practically are bred for that. It's not new to them like United players, they don't have to do it at pace and under the physical pressure of the PL. He has unlearned them how to attack, it generally is worse than LvG's United at it's most boring. Besides the boredom, also on quality and perfomance he's nowhere near Van Gaal, for some reason Van Gaal is not universally loved at Ajax, but you won't find an Ajax fan who think De Boer is even close as good a manager as Van Gaal. The difference is much bigger than between Moyes nd SAF, some even hope he gets sacked at United so he can take over Ajax, with these players, he would cruise to titles and be a strong in Europe again.
I mean this theory is all well and good but it's based on absolutely nothing! How can you say that his 'friends' are being told to say crap about the club, they are pundits and that's their job. No doubt Giggs would want the job but then if I was in his position so would I, that being said I don't think Giggs is some egotistical madman that will do anything to get what he wants, I think he is learning the trade like anyone else would in his position and hoping he gets a shot.
Playing devils advocate but how do you know that Giggs is fully in agreement with those two managers? What if he is sat there with all these ideas of what we could do but ultimately doesn't get the final say? I think Giggs probably will go to another club after LVG leaves because I still don't think the club will appoint him but from his persepective why would he leave right now when he might get the biggest opportunity of his life!
Nah I think the synchronized choir putting Ryan's name in the hat in recent weeks is indicative of Giggs' backers really getting worried, if Woodward was on board they wouldn't be this campaign it would be a coronation. Ed and, naturally, the Glazers aren't on board with such a risky appointment - in this instance the fans' opinions and interests are perfectly aligned.
Why should he get the job based on nothing? It doesn't matter if he's got ideas. He needs to go elsewhere and implement these ideas and show that he can do it. What's wrong with getting a job based on your ability or qualification to do the job? If you just leave university, do you expect to be hired immediately as a CEO? Neville also thought he'd take his opportunity at Valencia as well - and now in a few short weeks he's virtually destroyed his credibility. Sometimes you have to be smart about the choices you make - especially if you're privileged enough to have as many choices as someone like Ryan.
