So Mourinho goes back to Chelsea where things will inevitabely go wrong with Abramovic and he'll get the sack again and following that then goes straight back to Madrid to inevitably fall out with Perez in a season or two and get the sack again.

Wenger is backing LvG. No shit, Wenger wants to win the league.
Well, yeah, everyone could see that the players wouldn't put up with FSW. So they want him gone.
But the key players don't want Jose to come back, so Perez is going to threaten them with Jose's return in order to them to play better... to what end?
Do you remember when all rival managers were backing Moyes to stay.
And lets not forget when the MCFC fans wanted him to stay (for obvious reasons).
When our rivals are pleading with us not to get rid of LVG and not to hire JM, you know that we are on the right track.

What is wrong with you? That's not even close to what he said.
When your rivals back the manager to stay, that means things are bad. LvG should have gone after Saturday.
Wenger thinks it's disrespectful:

Stop.
I'm bored. Sack someone.
Sir Fergie 
Yep, just like all the ex Liverpool players pushing for Giggs to be manager, they all are hoping we'll make as many bad decisions as possible.
The club as an entity - the staff while important have always been replaceable to an extent. I love football in general as do most who have watched the game for several years. I'm being objective unlike a lot of folks here.
I don't think United should operate that "differently" from the other top clubs. Thats what true arrogance at club level is - thinking we're "special" and can get away with stupid decisions without future consequences. We've already appointed a spineless git in Moyes and now Van Gaal appears to have lost the dressing room. That should result in us going after the very best, not some wildcard appointment. The other top clubs don't appoint nobodies as managers and we shouldn't either.
Above all else, I want the club to be successful, as not to be is to misuse the massive amount of quality resources it has at its disposal.
threadbanned.
And he is scared of Jose.
yeah, you're the "objective" one, who will flounce away from this forum if you don't get what you want.
Awk now I didn't really mean to upset you by threatening my exit. Just flapping my gums earlier.
hey, you promised you would...Awk now I didn't really mean to upset you by threatening my exit. Just flapping my gums earlier.
He's made sh!te of Mourinho this season. Even off the pitch Wenger was mocking him and José had nothing for him.
Still hasn't beaten him in a competitive game.
Argh Fjortoft, is such a muppet, i am sure its been posted but hes been on 5live saying LVG is gone within a few days and Giggs will become manager, his source "his friend"
Hes always saying things that do not turn out to be true and has his vague sources to fall back on

I'm sure that's great comfort to Mourinho when he wakes up with no purpose to his life.
Anyway Wenger walked away with a trophy when they played each other in the Charity Shield, Jose wouldn't even shake his hand after it so I think he considered it as a competitive game even if you don't.
Maybe if he focused on his own responsibilities he might have a job, instead he brought up Wenger in 6 press conferences in a row, how you lose at mind games to Wenger is beyond me. It only served to highlight the decline of Mourinho for me.
Wenger was just as pathetic as Mourinho in that non-handshake nonsense.
Yeah. Mourihno's got kids and a wife, and a choice between managing United or Madrid. And Jose's still won as many major trophies in 2015 than Wenger has in the last decade. That's quite the lack of purpose there. I bet those mornings are really shit for him. I doubt we'll be seeing him on Benefits Britain anytime soon.

I thought the state of the team was all Rooney's fault?.....No?
yep all Rooney's fault. As that run of 3 games where he didn't play with appalling performances showed
Irritating that he gets to stay. Genuinely hope he turns it around from here, but it's more likely that we will get a few decent results and largely the same old dull football. May last the whole season if we get those results, more likely he will be gone by the new year.
As much as we want to believe those on the board are simpletons, that's not the case. There are football and business people getting their heads together wanting the very best for United. I assure you they will also have the best interests at heart. They have a lot more to lose than us, and I'm sure they will be discussing and working out all the benefits and problems of employing X,Y, and Z. Relax, bad time will make you appreciate the good time a lot more.
If they come to the conclusion Giggs is the choice it will be for a good reason. We really don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Maybe Pep or Mourinho don't want the job, or have conditions not acceptable to the club.
It's easy to criticise the club with the benefit of hindsight for the last 2 appointments.
To be honest, if he continues to get decent results whilst playing dull football then I'm more than happy for him to see the season through.
I don't want him sacked for the sake of it and, like it or not, the dull football brought about organisation and a better grip on matches that we were previously playing like headless chickens under Moyes. He was never a long-term solution and I think most fans knew what we'd be getting with LVG, at least to an extent.
I agree, though, that there's a risk we get a couple of decent results only for it to deteriorate again afterwards. Then it becomes a much harder decision, as there's no guarantee Mourinho will still be available and there'll be less of the season left for a new manager to influence.
I think playing without Rooney, and replacing him with a quality option are different things.
Playing without a striker won't be any more prolific.
If there is only one senior striker, he needs to perform.
He is getting a million pounds a month. Surely you have a right to expect some return for that?
The greatest thing will be to turn this around. What a riot of laughter that will be for everyone. Clutching at straws obviously.
LvG put his trust in him to deliver and a few years ago he would have, but not, it seems, any more.
Louis van Gaal is still clinging onto his job as Manchester United manager because club officials want to stand by their word and give him the chance to meet the effective ultimatum he was set, sources have told ESPN FC.
Sources said Van Gaal was told before Saturday's 2-1 home defeat against Norwich City that he had to get at least two wins from the next three games, with United due to play Stoke City away on the Dec. 26 and Chelsea at home on Dec. 28, and he admitted he feared the sack after the weekend's loss.
Sources said some United officials hoped the 64-year-old would resign after that loss and felt they should sack him if he did not.
Van Gaal temporarily remains in the job, however, because of the majority of the hierarchy feel it would be against United club tradition not to stick to their word and give him the chance to win the next two games.
ESPN FC was told that United also feel it is important to do that because of the good relationship with Van Gaal, and because some are mindful of the likelihood that this is his last job in football and do not want it to end in unnecessarily sour or unfair fashion.
Van Gaal could yet stay for longer, then, if he wins those two games.
With sources claiming Man United are interested in Jose Mourinho, ESPN FC's Shaka Hislop says he comes with too much baggage.
If he does go, Jose Mourinho looks to have the strongest case to take over following his departure from Chelsea, but United face a dilemma over the Portuguese.
Sources said the club are of the understanding that Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola's widely anticipated summer move to Manchester City is not yet signed and sealed, and United do not want to give up on the Catalan until they have exhausted every possible opportunity.
Appointing Mourinho would end United's pursuit of Guardiola but there is concern that if they wait too long they run the risk of losing out on the Portuguese, who is currently being touted for a return to Real Madrid.
Should they miss out on both Mourinho and Guardiola, there would be few remaining candidates of their standing available.
ESPN FC was told following Mourinho's Chelsea exit that he is fully ready and willing to take the United job above all others, but sources say his representatives have made efforts to be respectful over the matter due to the manager's relationship with Van Gaal, whom he worked alongside at Barcelona.
Sources suggested that that may partially explain the ambiguous comments of agent Jorge Mendes on Tuesday, as he clarified that Mourinho has not received an official approach from United "yet."
Yup, ignored him after that very sentance."...wakes up with no purpose to his life"
fecking hell
Too soft, we need to be more like Bayern in dealing with these things.
Not a sacking club? Hoping he would resign? If true, then that's very silly.
So, they are giving 2 games to prove himself.
If he wins these and then we go back to a losing/drawing streak, what happens then?
What is he going to achieve in 2 game that he could not achieve all season (and even last season)?
I'd like JM to come in so that he has a transfer window to immediately address the attacking problems we have quite clearly having.
We also run the risk of losing out on an A-Lister. We have lost out on Ancelotti. We have probably lost out on Guardiola. JM is the only 1 of the big three, available.
