My guess is that they still feel we have a better chance of getting a result on Monday with LvG in charge than with Giggs as caretaker with less than 48hrs to prepare. I don't agree with the decision, but it's not crazy logic.
LVG Out Thread | BBC: Sacked!

No, I saw it on another website. Haven't been watching Sky Sports myself. Is it bollocks then?
Exactly what I'm thinking. Let's wait until any title challenge is impossible and the top 4 is way off until we make a change. Clueless.
Ah right, we should have someone local go to Carrington and confirm it either way.
But if they have already made up their mind on sacking him they should do it immediately. What if we win 4-0 tomorrow do the board then turn around and say feck it let's stick with van gaal?
To clear this fiasco up, all Sky reported was that Ryan Giggs arrived to training, this morning... which means that in the morning, Ryan Giggs arrived to training.
We are waiting for him to resign to save on compo, it's as clear as day.
If it ends up costing us top 4 then it'll be peanuts in comparison to what we'll lose in revenue, but of course the club knows best.
Could we offer LVG a director of football position and bring Jose in as manager? The club seems happy with the background work LVG has been putting in.
So people are inferring that only Ryan arrived? It must be a rubbish training session with no players. Maybe Giggsy is re-enacting his FA Cup goal against Arsenal using cones.
I like how he added lights and real grass (Not turf) to our training ground in carrington... He did do some useful stuff.... But I reiterate.... He needs to go.
His efforts to save his job since speculation began have resulted in crashing out the CL followed by back to back defeats to newly promoted teams followed by boxing day horror show at Stoke. So yes it will be an outrage if 1 win in 7 matches saves his job.
How dare he try and save his job by beating the current PL champions! It's an absolute outrage to think he'll be smiling after a victory. Fecking gloating cnut.
On a serious note, I think he's going to resign regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game. I think the board and the fans have seen enough. It'd be foolish to have his future hanging on one game.
It's not crazy but not entirely rational. LVG has clearly tried everything, including changing his routine on the players to see if he can jolt a result out of the players. That hasn't worked. Maybe going to Giggs and a complete change in tactics and atmosphere will at least get us a result against Chelski. We can afford to drop more points and this is what the board seemingly fails to see.
If the players know that another loss will finish him off then there must be a few at least who wont bother trying. Best get rid now and have Giggs in charge tomorrow and let Jose start 2016 fresh.
Dithering only makes the situation worse. Get him gone, he has nothing left to give.
There is zero logic in keeping him for the Chelsea game. What do they think will change? Are we not a results based club anymore? It is lunacy.
What happened to the "if he loses one of Stoke or Chelsea he is gone" brief? Papers making that up to?
The only plausible explanation is that they cannot agree on what happens when LVG is given the bullet.
I'm going tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. Its all going to kick off if we go a goal behind. If we fluke a win, he will stay 
Same with a draw I think
Same with a draw I thinkThe Chelsea game is tomorrow. You want the club to sack the manager a day before? Is that the best way to prepare for what could be a crucial game?
Part of me wants him to continue but I think it's gone too far now. I won't be surprised if they sack him/he resigns, don't think it will be before the Chelsea game.
Giggs is undermining LVG by turning up before Louis has left his bunker.
With the way our luck is going I can actually see us winning tomorrow which will give our board just enough reason to continue to dither.
He should have gone after Bournemouth and to answer your question yes they should sack him a day before Chelsea because maybe that would wake the players out of this malaise that they are in.
We are losing continuously and your question really is "Is that the best way to prepare for what could be a crucial game?"
My answer is yes in this case. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.... So our board is fecking insane.
The club and LvG will agree to part ways by "mutual consent" on Tuesday. Irrespective of tomorrow's result.
Everyone wondering why we're waiting - the timing is terrible. No new manager would want to join a day before such a big game at home with zero preparation time. I also think the club want to avoid setting a precedent of throwing it to Giggs every time they need a placeholder. Doubt Giggs would fancy taking over for just one game either with the state we're in.
Without a doubt its the best choice. We've lost 4 in a row. Our best chance of a result is getting the lift of a managerial change, because with Van Gaal, it'll most likely be a draw.

That photo must've been taken in happier days, before stress made Louis look like David Bowie after being run over by a tractor.
I stand by what I say, he should have resigned by now. It infuriates me that he is still our manager.
I imagine as we see Chelsea as an important match, we're going to wait till after tomorrow before making a move, perhaps to avoid shaking up the squad and potentially getting a worse result than what van Gaal would get. Although it can't really get any worse, can it.

Hope you have a great time tomorrow but honestly I think you will be disappointed.
Let's hope you are right.
No idea what the board is playing at. If they are considering anything other than firing him they should be ousted themselves.
Absolutely mental if his fate rests on the Chelsea game.
Just woke up, how on earth is he not sacked yet? 
We're preparing a sack.
Twitter awash with rumours that he's been 'asked to resign'
If we sacked him before the Chelsea game then that means either a replacement has to take control of a game they haven't prepared for or Giggs does (assuming he isn't said replacement).
If we give Giggs just this one game and subsequently beat Chelsea the new manager has Giggs potential as manager being mentioned even more than it already will be, every time things aren't going well.
The best thing is to have LVG for one more game and sack him if we don't win. If we do win, we wait and sack him the next time we don't win.

I think they originated from 'IndyKaila' - I've seen that he's tweeted it, not sure if he was the first but there's a lot of people on Twitter who hang onto his every word..
I assume that means working on a mutual termination?
"Hey, Louis, how about just forgetting about all that money you're contractually entitled to?"
I can't see it continuing. I don't think any of us can. I think a lot is happening behind the scenes right now and were probably sounding out 1 or 2 potential replacements.
