Why are you so angry bro ?
Gone in the morning or gone in the afternoon makes no difference. We're a huge company and things like managerial changes effect the value of our stock, or something along those lines.

Forgetting the stock exchange for a minute, I hope we manage to talk to him and his staff face to face rather than letting them find out through the journalists on Twitter again.
Cmoon, mate. That's harsh on Jose. In the last 5-6 years he was up against Barca in Spain who have a better squad that he has and still notched 1 title setting a points record on the way with also 1 spanish cup and 3 CL SF's. At Chelsea again he was the underdog compared to City, yet he won the premier league again. He has an abundance of experience in the league, knows the language and culture and is a natural born winner.
I don't think his success at the transfer market is declining as you said to be fair, and 3-4 months bad results at Chelsea doesn't affect his overall qualities as a manager.
But even if you don't like him - record in the last 5 years, personality, who can we bring in realistically that can turn around results in short notice and has the same quality as a manager, I mean realistically? Pep is going to City it seems, Ancelotti to Bayern, as much as I like Simeone I don't think he's an option at the moment...
People forget how big a club we are, decisions such as these cannot be made instantly.
That was a Tuesday morning. They'd briefed the press the day before.
Context: The ultimatum. Giving LVG an ultimatum of the sort described is stupid. You either stick with the manager, giving him your full support, or you sack him. You don't give him ultimatums.
If Woody has given him an ultimatum, then he is stupid. Period. Woody is not a football man. I don't trust him in the slightest if he's the one sitting there considering which manager we should hire for the next term - I just don't. He may be excellent at money matters, but that's a completely different kettle of fish.
Also, what I actually said wasn't that Woody is stupid, but that he can't be (that stupid).
I think the press announced it too early. Don't think Ed was happy with that. Therefore don't tell the press before the manager and the NYSE. We handled that really badly.
I don't believe there's an ultimatum on the table. He didn't look like a man who had any chances left at the weekend.
So your telling me there's still a chance??
They do forget. We are run by professionals even though it may seem like we are not at some points.
Giggs to the rescue then.
Indeed it is. It would be irresponsible to pass up on one of the two best managers in the world just to buy van Gaal some extra time. I'm a fan of LvG's style but I feel that he's basically a lame duck now. This is the time to act, get The Dark Lord of Football here and we'll win again.
So implying that he is already stupid then ?
There are only two serious choices for another manager, Jose or Giggs. Woodward would obviously pick jose out of the two.
Kill me.
I almost want it to be Giggs now just for the hilarity that will ensue.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If that happens it won't be just woodward making the call.
At this point, sacking LvG and promoting Giggs, would be a strange move. We need to be serious. I hope and believe that Mourinho will be our man.
As if Woodward is going to be the one making that decision. It'll be the board and its advisors which include Sir Bobby and Sir Alex.
If that is true then this club is done.
If it's true, the Glazers should sack themselves too.
Didn't Fjortoft say there is no chance Schweinsteiger is joining us?
You've got to be fecking kidding me.
This better be BS
Fjørtoft is usually full of BS.
WOW
. Is Fjortoft speaking about Giggs being United's temporary manager post van Gaal or permanent? If it's permanent, that'd be truly amazing. Be part of two failed managerial regimes and you can stay on at the club.Don't know. How reliable is this cnut?
Feck sake
If we replace LvG with Giggs I might just give up with football.
What's up with the hate for Giggs? For all we know this could mean we will go for Guardiola in the summer. That would be a much better scenario than Mourinho taking over now. This team just needs some new energy first and foremost, they need someone who'll free the shackles on them. It's limited what Mourinho could do to the team mid-season anyway.
Sir Bobby has little influence now.
I doubt Woodward contacted Fergie when he sacked Moyes and appointed Van Gaal.
Unless he's a truly awful manager. It could be disastrous.
Do some more research.
It WILL be disastrous. No 2 ways about it.
