What about Santiago. He is absolutely convinced that this guy is the man for the job.
Has he finally been outed as a MCFC fan?

Empire was pretty good at defending him too, I had many a good conversation with him earlier in the season, sadly his replies got too convoluted and self satisfying for me to bother with anymore, Santiago was a different beast entirely, but entertaining all the same, even if it turns out that he was an imposter.

The fact remains you cannot defend to indefensible, and hopefully that will that from the LvG fanboys.
 
I just hate managers who don't know how to admit the truth. You'll gain more respect if you say that performance was just not acceptable. We were poor in our offense only managing 1 shot on goal with a moment of individual brilliance, and our defending was just terrible. We will analyze what we did wrong and will try to improve on it next game.

That's all you have to say. Instead saying that a 3-0 result isn't bad because until the first goal we were playing like equals against a very good team... That statement/attitude by the man at the helm tells you why we perform so poorly and inconsistently.

I can't believe that I welcomed this twit to United. And I welcomed Moyes' appointment. What a stupid gonk...

Yeah, same here.

It has to stop, really. Which is why I've decided to be vehemently against anyone we consider hiring next. That should give the new man a boost and could potentially ensure long-term success (provided I remain hostile to him throughout).
 


How SAF or anyone in football can read this and not fire LVG on the spot for his methods. This is what i see every game. The lack of fluidity, bravery, and ingenuity. Its actually being coached into the team.

LVG... Please, please, please leave.
 
Nani did not even play a game under van Gaal, did he?

It's obvious Ed is waiting until we have 1000 votes on the poll for "Yes, sack him now"
Can those 40 people change their vote so that we can all get on with our lives!

It's been obvious from day one that they are waiting for top 4 to be mathematically impossible before they sack him for much less compensation.

It doesn't make sense though - the amount of Champions League money we miss out on is much more than 12 months of Van Gaal's contract. Not to mention we regularly take bigger financial hits on player signings gone wrong (Di Maria, Falcao's hugely expensive loan year, with Mata, Fellaini and Rojo almost certainly to follow for big losses). It's more about trying to save face by Woodward.

He and his assistant were shouting at players like we were kids, like 18-year-olds. And I think, ‘This is not the way to treat us because I am professional, I am training every day, I’m doing nothing wrong, I’m putting quality in the training’.”
Albert Stuivenberg was Van Gaal's weapon of choice. The assistant coach berated players for passing at the wrong time, for passing in the wrong way, for not passing at all, for not taking a touch before shooting. It was the antithesis of how an intuitively dangerous forward like Nani had learned to play; a contradiction of the way in which Sir Alex Ferguson had encouraged him to hone an ability to beat opponents with skill or pace then place the ball in the precise position for a colleague to score
Nani knows how to make the hardest of attacking decisions quickly. The Dutch pair sought to drill that out of him. “‘You must pass the ball like this’, ‘Come on!’ Blah, blah, blah.
“It’s crazy. It’s difficult to play football like that. Because football is instinct. It’s decision. It’s what you see. If you see you must shoot, first touch. If you see you must take a touch, you take a touch. If you dribble, you dribble. That’s why you make different type of goals.”

The man is a complete fecking idiot.
 
It hasn't worked. It isn't working. It won't work. That much must be pretty obvious to all now.

If we really have reservations about Mourinho then fair enough, but fiddling while Rome burns because the main contender isn't to your liking and because the main piece of your succession plan hasn't yet reached whatever arbitrary level of experience or competence you thought he would have reached by the end of year 3 just seems bloody minded for the sake of it. If not Mourinho then someone else. If Giggs isn't that someone else then you move on to the next guy. This myth that there are only two or three managers capable of managing us is utter nonsense, brought about by this cult of the manager that seems to pervade English football. Persevering with a manager who has achieved little beyond consistency of underachievement isn't in the best interests of the club, regardless of what moral code we convince ourselves we're adhering to.

Of course, we may already have a new manager, in which case most of the above is moot, but you just can't keep going on about being the biggest club in the world while fielding a team of players that poor, in a system that is utterly blunt, led by a manager utterly incapable of inspiring the players. I would say a majority of the footballing decisions in the last few years have been somewhere between questionable and downright lunacy. Making another one to prove to ourselves and the world at large that we don't make those sorts of mistakes is wrong-minded and, IMHO, so utterly missing the point as to be negligent.

I think this is what we had suspected all along. That they are bullying all instinctive play out of the players. Also I am suspicious at all the smiles when they film training. That they are just doing it for the camera's.

:lol: So if I don't buy into that hypothetical bullshit, I'm on LvG's side?

How many points have we got in that hypothetical universe? Are Leicester still top? Did Donald Trump change his name to Drumpf? Did Chico relaunch his music career? Did Usain Bolt win the National in a pantomime horse costume?

That's a yes then

The compensation is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. I think the decision was made in December but who could we appoint in December - Mourinho is undoubtedly the choice and undoubtedly due to his Chelsea contract he could not take over before the end of the season.

Pointless sacking him now but the announcement will probably be made as soon as either we're out of the Cup or out of the top 3 or 4. While there's still a chance of that I doubt if there will be an announcement.

Imo it's not a question of when the decision will be taken, because it already has, just a question of when the announcement will be made.
 
Louis van Gaal: Manchester United are a bigger club than Tottenham

Louis van Gaal said he has no regrets over choosing Manchester United ahead of Tottenham in the summer of 2014 as United "are a bigger club."

Van Gaal saw Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side thump his team 3-0 at White Hart Lane to leave United four points behind fourth place.

"The challenge was bigger for me at Manchester United and shall always be bigger," said Van Gaal.

"I'm sorry for Tottenham but Manchester United is a bigger club."

Van Gaal held talks with Tottenham in 2014 but eventually decided to sign a three-year deal at Old Trafford to succeed David Moyes.

Under Pochettino, Tottenham have emerged as the closest challengers to leaders Leicester in the Premier League, and they stayed seven points behind the Foxes as three goals in six minutes saw off United.

Spurs are 12 points ahead of United but Van Gaal still believes that his club are 'ahead' and remains hopeful of finishing in the top four.

"I think that in the balance we are still ahead," he said.

"I liked also to sign for Tottenham Hotspur and Daniel Levy knows that. It is a little bit pathetic you asked that [whether he regretted his choice] because they have won 3-0. It's easy to ask that but ok, you enjoy yourself.

"Can we finish fourth? Yes, because we have 18 points available so we still have a chance, but it's more difficult than before the match that's for sure.

"Everybody can lose to everybody else. We are still in the race."

Van Gaal also confirmed that injured captain Wayne Rooney will play for an hour of the Under-21 match against Middlesbrough on Monday.

Link.

Just imagine if he'd ended up at Spurs... And to think most of us were delighted that we beat Spurs to him :wenger:

Funny how football turns out.
 
After todays performance I think I would rather have a potato manage us than this Muppet.

I just believe the sooner we get this clown away from our players the better, then we may actually see how good they actually are, every second counts in preparation for next season, give the job to Joyce if we have to give it to anyone, which I don't believe we do as the team basically picks it's self.

Just play our best players in their best positions and don't make stupid pointless subs and react to what is going on during the match instead of drawing fecking "I'm a genius " over and over!

Glad you're confident, I'm not. The way this club is being run is a joke. We played Russian Roulette letting him stay on to see if we could get top four. I mean, why wasn't he sacked a long time ago and we could have gotten someone more competent in? It's a fecking farce at this stage.

I don't disagree with you
 
Still hilarious that he sold all our strikers (except Rooney) and ends up with Young and Fellaini playing there at different times this season. Madness.

Meanwhile the one striker we do buy he keeps on the wing.

The performance is just par for the course at this point, so we're barely able to collectively put together a half-assed hissy fit. A sad indictment of the current state of affairs, really.
 
Get teh fook out.

Hope he's gone by the morning after Leicester smash us.
