And because El khelaifi was constantly on his back and Real Madrid were a dream of his.
Hard to argue against that really but I still believe they'll fade away. They were shit before that, they cannot keep this going on.
Look, in my mind we first go all out for Pep. We're a giant club. The most famous in the world, and we shouldn't undersell ourselves. We can spend enormous amounts every summer and Pep will give us that edge in terms of pulling power. He's the best right now IMO and that's what we need. Also, I don't think we're all that far from winning the league. I'd be very confident of that happening if he joined, and so should he. For me, the worry is more about whether we actually try our best to get him. If we do that and fail, then we'll tough luck, but it is for me a no brainer to try and get the best manager on board.
If that then doesn't work then in the summer I'd look at the other alternatives. I like Carlo Ancelotti but I'm not totally convinced he's miles better an option than everyone else. More proven yes but I'd like to see us also review the likes of pochettino and other promising managers. Especially if he gets top 4 this season. Fact is, other managers from the younger lot will become top managers at some point so if someone like pochettino or tuchel or anyone else who isn't as big a "name" might join the top bracket soon, I'd consider them. And then make a call.
So yeah, for me, it's pep and then judge the rest of the pack with Carlo being the mode proven but others also considered.
Wtf ?
Hugs are overrated, give me the nice fresh smell of a managerial sacking any day.
This on pep, he's inherited two not only great teams but also the best sides in their two respective leagues. He probably would do well walking into either arsenal or city because they don't need a whole lot of reworking. Wanting him at United to keep him from the city job though, bit mad.
Can't say to be honest. But the thought of Giggs in charge scares me shitless.
No, because I would say morale is that low. He never takes the blame for anything. Maybe the players know he has made big mistakes and are sick of him throwing them under the bus.
We are not though really considering we had one manager for 27 years. Plus Louis was always short term it just now needs to be a shorter short term because we are going nowhere fast under his tactics and man management.
55 I think, so years in him yet. Football does age a manager.
Not a chance..the Glazers love him
I think you'll be disappointed if you want it Moysie-style.
I think it's more likely to be ushered out gently at the end of the season if Pep says yes.
The most shocking thing to me with LVG and his stupid fecking philosophy is that our performances are worse than last season. We were playing amazing football in that stretch where we beat Spurs, Liverpool and City.
So he's spent a shit ton of more money this summer on more reinforcements (also leaving the squad stupidly thin) and the result is a lower quality of football week in, week out. How is that even possible? It is truly bizarre.

I know this is why i getting so disgusted at LVG, just get your shite together until may at least.
True but the next appointment really does need to be a good one. It's crazy how long it's taking us to recover from SAF leaving.
I think he's going senile, that statement was pathetic.
We need a younger fresh manager with fresh new ideas, Van Gaal's system is dated and old. Teams have figured it out.
Can't disagree with this.
What we have to be ultra careful about, is making do with Van Gaal's modest results, letting him stay the contract out, and then finding we've missed everyone going, and end up worth a 6th choice like Moyes again.
We've missed Klopp, who Woodward called a "genius", so if we're middling, and Pep is available in the summer we have to be ruthless.
Remember when Southampton sacked Adkins, everyone pooed their pants and they got Pochittino?
No one talked about Adkins a few months on whenthey were ripping it up
Just go.
He sold half the squad off for a pittance and is reaping what he's sewn. We looked good towards the end of last season in the same way that Liverpool did a couple of years ago. No European football meant we could pick the same team every week and stay rested while others were flagging. He's spent £200 million and he's delivered nothing. I was going to say we should get used to the Europa League but tbh I'm not convinced we'll even get there.

We've been good for three games of his tenure. Bournemouth will be good for three of theirs this season, maybe more. The man is a fraud, how he is still in the job baffles me. He's a coward.
Shades of the end of the Moyes era at this point I'm afraid. A complete lack of enthusiasm from the players, no fear from opposition sides, the media turning and the increasingly baffling starting lineups and substitutions week after week.
He won't be here much longer.
He won't be here much longer.
Just leave.
Ok so I think he has to go.
Getting Moyes vibes all over again and fear this will crash and burn.

How do you know this? Because he turned down Liverpool does not mean he would turn down United.
LvG can play around and sell shit to the media and our opponents as much as he likes, I'll support him. But telling us what to expect takes it too far for me.
I still remember the brilliant "We're this close" speech at the poty-awards. He had me convinced. He seemed to know what he was doing. He doesn't anymore.

That doesn't mean much tbh. We played our best games last year in the difficult ones and everyone couldn't see how we will turn it around and that's just a matter of time till Liverpool will leapfrog us. Doesn't mean we will repeat it and I don't think it will happen this year either, but only because our games are tougher or look tougher on paper doesn't mean we will be worse. It seems like the "easy" ones are still a pain in the ass for us.
But he tried his utmosht besht.
Could he be sacked?
I didn't had any feeling that his job could br under question until this run of result and when everything around United look so negative. TBF I wouldn't be surprised if he is sacked in near future.

No, he is safe.
Wish I knew what Woodward is thinking atm.
He was always going to be impossible to follow but the Moyes appointment was crazy and now the van Gaal one seems to be imploding, maybe the managers we wanted were not available, Pep being the obvious according to SAFs book. At the end of the day Pep is probably the best manager right now full stop and Ancelloti is very good and proven in this league. If we can get either we must act! LVG has to go in the summer or sooner, I honestly believe Giggs would steady the ship should van Gaal go early.
Has he gone yet?
If not, I think we need a plane, and a banner!

Obviously 56 is past it.
Such insight from him.
I hope Woody has the guts to sack him immediately. At this stage, it doesn't matter who will replace him for this season. Clearly, the team is on free fall and won't end in top 4 with LVG on charge. The team needs a change.
If I was Woody I would have been calling Pep and if he says yes, but Giggs (or even better, SAF if he accepts) in charge till the end of the season. If not, get Ancelotti immediately.
Van Gaal is going exactly in the same direction as Moyes was going, and it is clear to see it. Every minute with him in charge is a minute lost.
He might be, but Manchester United aren't.
How can you even justify this.
