The definition of irony.
Not really. Rooney is a great player also yet using Sturridge Benteke and Berahino as better is pretty weak
TBF Moyes was absolutely convinced until the end that he would be given 6 years. He was even well into his planning for the next year.
Wouldn't read too much into VG's confidence regarding his job.

Next year we have to qualify for the CL, because if as expected we don't qualify this year, it's going to cost us around 25M a year in penalties on the Adidas deal. Not to mention the other financial fall out. I have to believe that the only thing the board understand is money, so it could be our saving grace. They sure as feck don't understand football.
LvG cant say anything else tbf. He must act as our manager, because he still is. He is a deluded fool of course, but thats another story.
Nah you're using short term fluctuations in form and injury to make our options look better. By that rational you'd rather have Rose than Shaw given the latter is permanently injured.
I'm talking about general quality. Benteke and Berahino both give you more than today's Rooney. Whatever immediate issues they have at their clubs doesnt change that.
He'll be gone when it's mathematically impossible for us to get top four. Or we'll make top four and he'll go in the summer under some sort of "mutual agreement".
Editor of the Red News fanzine.
It just has to be that Mou was only willing to join us in the summer. That's the only explenation. We surely would haven given Giggs the job by now if our plan was to hand management to him?
We have zero chance at making top 4. It would require a monumental breakdown of one of Spurs, Arsenal, or City. Plus we have an in form West Ham that is right there if that did happen. Lastly, we would have to play our best football of the season.
Sorry to sound so pessimistic but it's reality. Were finishing anywhere from 5th to 8th.
"Expectations are too high" ffs. He has fallen at the last hurdle of his career, and has no problem taking our club down with him
LvG has made the job more difficult for himself. We simply don't have the players to play the slow possession football.
There is not enough technical players or creativity in the squad to play this way and finding gaps in defences.
Barca and Bayern can do it, all their players are comfortable with the ball. You can't lose the ball several times through a game the way we are playing, when you do that you will get sucker punched because of how many players you dedicate in attack and only have 2 or 3 players to cover your back.
Also he chose to play 4-2-3-1, but it's not very efficent when you need to keep the ball rolling and get as many options to pass as possible. With a 4-3-3 you can have much more control in possession.
We need a pragmatic manager and lucky for us Mourinho is available.

I'm not overly confident of our chances of making top four either, but they are certainly better than zero. Win the derby tomorrow and we are back level with West Ham and a point behind City. There's also time for Arsenal to be sucked back into the top four race and, despite today's win, Wenger is under serious pressure.
Missed my point there... Saha was far from great.
I saw that in the M.E.N. it has been rumoured for ages.
Scary thing is us getting into the top four and LVG staying on, perhaps receiving a contract extension and all.

Couldn't agree more.
Louis van Gaal is the worst manager in recent memory, and that starts with Albert Fisher being appointed at Notts County in 1913
How fecking old are you?
Over 100?
Definitely! I don't think he will remember the Albert Fisher appointment as part of 'recent memory' if he was in his pop's sack.
Somebody better break it to him that we aren't Newton Heath any more.Definitely! I don't think he will remember the Albert Fisher appointment as part of 'recent memory' if he was in his pop's sack.

That would be a massive finger to the fans and just shows the club doesn't care about competing for trophies. I doubt that happens.
I think LVG is gone after the season ends.
I don't want to be the guy to be giving this rude shock to him
56 people actually voted to give LVG an extension! Are they are wums or have they learned nothing from reading this forum? FFS
I think this year's season is an anomalous one, and have changed my mind on van Gaal. Give him the third year.
Also due, in part, to the fact that I no longer want Mourinho as manager.

at the number of people whove changed their mind on sacking LVG since Thursday. How does that work?People change their minds about football related matters quite frequently. Nothing new.
It'd be even more worrying if they still had faith in him.
You could argue that Sturridge (on form, and obviously injury free) is better than Saha was.
Feck me - LVG could turn Old Trafford into a whore house and Woody still wouldn't give him the bullet. If he is in charge next season, then I think there are people internally looking to sabotage the club, surely these execs in charge aren't this feckwitted.........
Magazine to sell and no way of knowing if what he reports is true.
At least you'd be getting something back in return and some form of entertainment!
He is not the type to bullshit.
In my experience, all these types are the types to bullshit.
Well I've met him, and I trust that he isn't.
