It is not true, I am pretty sure this guy is fake and spouts some shite.
Maybe. But this isn't the first time we have heard of the Mourinho camp not being happy that no offer has come in. Its been doing the rounds for some time now. It can't all be fake.
 
OK, but we all know in this day and age contracts mean the sum total of feck all. I don't even know if there's a problem with the players there, but it seems like it. Luiz undermining him, now this crazy interview which goes beyond that. Just curious if there's a lack of respect for him more broadly.

Most of the players are complete twats but they wouldn't be at PSG otherwise. But can't see Mourinho going there, WWIII would break out in no time
 
moyes saying he needed 5-6 world class players to compete in CL not win but compete before a ball was kicked. not what you kick off your season with. fecking div said that to or about the defending prem champions. LVG comes in and buys players gets back to 4th and is hailed a god by some. 4th is not good enough. and it's not like he started well nor did he finish well last yr but the board and fans were happy because he "righted the ship" , was "building a new foundation like he did at (insert club name)" and pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. started this season well enough but ffs the football was shit and because we didn't lose games and "can't fire him while we're in a CL position". well those shit games became the norm not the exception. so i'd have fired him earlier , and most certainly the day after jose got shit canned. but sir bobby doesn't like him.

Our run under Van Gaal since the back end of November is an absolute embarrassment. It's not over egging the cake to say that it's been relegation form. I think we've kept him on out of some warped sense of romanticism, yet we've forgotten that winning is extremely important to the football club. No other top club would have tolerated this crap.

Wouldn't worry about that too much. You'd have the white flags out within an hour.

exactly , let's not be a firing club just a boring underperforming one. i looked back at last season run in which included the good run of games up until 38 total matches (i started the 38 with the good matches from last season) and we were on 64 points. it's the same total as moist and giggs had.

It all depends on the sources. Wasn't it Castles that started it all? Easy for some to just replicate it or twist it slightly. Could be true, could be wrong, but either way, we should act and not wait until he is gone or doesn't want it anymore.
 

Mouriniho coming in now would be perfect. Chance of top 4. Chance of Europa League. Chance for him to get to know the squad and shorten the transition period, which lasted a good year at Chelsea 2nd time round.
 
If we are planning on sacking him for Mourinho, I really, really do not see what we're waiting for. I mean, if it's happening, LVG surely has some sort of idea about it, and Mourinho will also know he's coming in. So...what are we waiting for? Are we acting like a disgruntled partner in a relationship who keeps threatening to leave their partner, but doesn't actually go through with it, even though they intend to?

I still think LVG's probably lasting till the end of the season if he isn't sacked tomorrow. A game like yesterday's is the perfect instance in which to do it. A defeat to a relegation contender which arguably kills off our realistic hopes of a top 4 place. I mean, if we are planning to do it, and he somehow beats Arsenal 3-0...then what then? We're kind of fecked, since we can't sack him after a good win.
 
Sacking him now gives us two weeks to prepare for Arsenal.
We should win the cup ties no matter who is in charge tbh. Maybe thats why its being considered now so that LVG isnt given the boot after two wins
 
We're probably doing the same shit we done with Moyes, waiting until we can't mathematically qualify for CL, it will probably cost us less to sack him.
 
it is the same as the Reus one with his fake email. Don't know why it still gets posted, guy is a fraud

I have no knowledge of facts to back you up, but you have to be right about this. But how stupid would Woody/the board/whoever-the-feck-runs-this-shower be to save a few quid on LVG's payout by making sure we miss out on the CL?

My guess is that LVG makes 5m a season. Could be more, I don't know. Say we sack him right now and are obligated to pay out the 5m for next season and the pro rata share of the remainder of this season. Let's round that up to 7.5m total. So fecking what? The opportunity to stumble past City into fourth place would be worth well more to us financially than the 7.5m we'd otherwise save by sacking LVG after he's mathematically disqualified the club from the CL next season.

If we go into Monday afternoon with the LVG still at the helm then United deserve to be the laughingstock in the football world that it has become.
 
If the club miss out on Mourinho then it spells absolute disaster.

I think the issue currently is with Giggs and the board not knowing what to do with him.
 
Probably won't be sacked until it's mathematically impossible to win the treble next year.
