Fergie's retirement leaked from our side, who the hell knows where this comes from, but I imagine it's not what the United board wanted.

This. The PC brigade can shove it.
What did Paddy say?
I wonder if Mourinho will fit LVGs philosophy.
Not much worth repeating.
I will
You are a beauty mate
...and I said YES WE GO FOR IT
Funny all those complaining about the "Bomb' embarrassing the club, yet have no qualms about us looking as cnuty as City here.
I'm sure there's about 17 managers in the PL who could do better than LVG tbh. The challenge is to get us to Bayern / Madrid / Barca level, which is where we belong.
Can somebody do a photoshop of LVG lifting the FA cup but with Mourinho's face ?
Could this be the best day ever, Cup Win, LVG has a decent enough record for two years at OT, Jose Confirmed (Maybe) and I remembered Liverpool lost the other day in the Europa Cup Final!
There was no ambiguity.
Disappointed that the media knew about Moyes sacking before Moyes did.
Disappointed that the media know about LvG's sacking before LvG did (assuming LvG didn't know).
Glad that both managers are gone.

Who gives a single feck about him? It's just added to the whole winning the FA cup feeling for me. Why do people give a feck about Van Gaal? We've been fecking miserable under his tenure and he's a complete grade A cnut.
Feeling sorry for him is equivalent to stockholm syndrome.
I will

Eagerly awaits the goss!
According to BBC, we met Mourinho in February to discuss his appointment. I think LVG knew and is just trying to save face or be defiant.
No we didn't, it was Ogden putting two and two together.
Right because LVG still has to coach the team for an entire year knowing he gets the sack...
Plus it is mendes breaking the news not the club
He definitely shouldn't be playing every game like he is now. He's not a title-winning striker by a long way but he's very promising.
Learning under the likes of Ibra (if he comes) while playing the under-study striker will be massive boost for him I think.
You know the board is in a great mood, Richard Arnold just accepted my LinkedIn request 
That will be hard
Who is this clown on 5Live slating the BBC
Ah, well, I just read it on reddit. And it seems he went crazy when SAF retiring reports came out too. Next day, it was official.

Oh come on "morality police". Next you'll be telling us that not dancing around at the thought of someone you've got a good personal relationship with losing their job isn't a clear sign that you have a life changing illness, affecting your mental faculties, due to your increasing years.
He's rightfully pissed off we didn't hire him after the 2-0 defeat at Stoke. Make no mistake, this is LONG overdue. Rejoice.
Did it come from Ogden? Didn't know that.
Some journos on twitter saying its from Mendes. Its not an issue of morality. Its an issue of respect. Just log on soxial media. 8 out of ten posts are about Mourinho. It shouldn't be like that on the day we wkn our dirst trophy in three year
Don't you think this is just plausible deniability from the club? I'd be shocked if Woodward et al. didn't know this was being briefed. Them not being directly involved just makes the parting wig LVG smoother.
A ton of us should give it a try and see how many of the requests he accepts.You know the board is in a great mood, Richard Arnold just accepted my LinkedIn request
I think a lot of people think this was us who leaked this.
Nothing has been said by Man Utd.
The stories started yesterday and the club is not going to release a story like right before a cup final.
Also it is not like we have sacked Van Gaal today. I am sure he would have known for a while if we were going to get rid of him.
I think we got wind that the BBC was going to run with it be we somehow managed to get them to hold off until after the final. Hence why it came out so quickly after the match.
I think Mendes fingerprints is all over this. Though I am not sure what he is hoping to gain from this.

I see the LvG fandom are in tears
Exactly. This was the guy who should've replaced SAF in the first place.
Basically we have tried to avoid him (used Moyes, LVG, then eventually Giggs), but it seemed almost inevitable and it's finally happened.
And with regards to "oooh the timing is bad, etc etc".
LVG tried his best, he gets paid a fortune to get us to win. He wasn't able to do what he promised or what was expected, so he has been asked to leave.
My guess is that he was told back in January about the plan, so he and Woodward planned how and when the changeover would happen.
I refuse to believe that the World's media knew Jose was coming, yet LVG was the only man who didn't.
Managing an elite level sports club is ruthless and the managers already know this.
Dear Jose.
If you win a cup with us, please dont lose the lid like the last one.
Yours,
Mr Fuji.

Yeah, and he even admitted that he broke the news because he had a hunch that it was happening based on his communication with the club.
Yeah but like they needed an excuse right? The speculation was natural and the press are scummy. It's not a problem for someone with LVG's ego.
