Well said! Despite all the disappointments, he did discover fantastic players and it is in United interests to play them. SAF won a cup first before winning the league. This team could have created something. I so hope Mourinho does not kill that and builds on top of it... But I am probably dreaming here.

I'm sure during the signing of his contract, he will be made to understand what we do here and what we stand for. He must have presented his plan to the Board anyway before getting the approval. We value our academy, surely, he must know that.

Abramovic is mental for the Chelsea academy, didn't make any difference. Probably part of the reason he ditched Mourinho, when he promised to play more Chelsea youth then didn't.
 
Not excited at all by this and specially not when it concerns all the stupid antics Mourinho might bring with him. I'm just relieved LVG is about to leave is all. Mourinho worries me a lot.
 
Giggs looked clean shaven. wonder if he will be around next season.

His antics on the touchline today were hilarious.

Goes to point and shout something, stops!.....Goes to point and shout something, stops....Rubs chin, points, looks like he's about to shout an instruction, folds arms and stares at something

Don't use that to judge. Abramovic wants youth and he also want his trophies now. Those two don't go together. If you want youth, you must show patience, there should also be signs of improvement.
 
Bad timing for the news. LvG finally delivered a cup and should have been allowed to enjoy the news.
 
Great news, we are appointing an world class manager at right time may be the timing of this brief up is wrong,now expecting club to come up with proper announcement. LVG winning the Cup and going out as winner,i wouldn't be surprised if he comes out and says it today that he will be retiring from the game.
We also need to close in on our transfer targets or possibly sign one or two before the Euro so appointment now makes lot of sense.

I thought it'd be good to give him a day to celebrate, but I don't really care because every single van Gaal decision has been shite timing so whatever woooo `I'm drunk
 
If this is Mourinho 's side leaking this information then it's just so typical of the classless git.

It isn't great if the appointment of our new manager begins with a display of the sort of classlessness people were worried about. No need for it at all.
 
What I think happened is that this has been done since December, enough of it leaked to have the BBC report in February. We embargoed those truly in the know until after the season's ended and let the rest speculate, hence the conflicting reports.

Anyhow, it doesn't fecking matter. LvG will have a handsome pay off, he got the FA Cup. He's an adult who has had far mor acrimonious falling out with previous clubs. This is just business.

We don't really know who released it, though. It could be from United side, or Mou's side. Who knows?
 
Bad timing? The season is over mate, never in anyway close to Moyes.

I couldn't give a toss tbh. Was more of a response to those saying it's bad timing.

Louis would want to be utterly daft to know this wasn't coming....The leak from Mendes?! As if anyone at the club is going to fall out with him. They wouldn't have the bollix
 
He gave us Martial.

He discovered Rashford.

His handling of De Gea created the possibility for what happened, he signed a 5 year contract.

He discovered talents like Fosu-Mensah and CBJ.

Bastian Fecking Schweinsteiger is still a good player for us.

He gave us the first FA Cup since 2004, Arsenal's record didn't last long because of him.

And he didn't sign stop gaps (whereas most managers would) in positions like CB and RW instead opting to use what he had and wait and target somebody of the highest level because he wants the club to have the best players in the world / best young players.

Can't believe that makes you miserable. What have you done for Manchester United that tops that?
He didn't "discover" Rashfore, TFM or CBJ. That is absolute nonsense. It should be Joyce getting credit not Vangle for these youngsters.

As for how happy you seem to be with the job he has done, why don't you drop an email to Woodward to give LVG a 5 year extension.
 
Three years too late. We've finally got the right man.

Predictions were spot on by the way. Mourinho has been done for months and anybody with an ounce of common sense could see it.
Yup, it was out once a woman (Mrs Moratti) opened her mouth!

Fair play to Ed & co - they're much bolder and decisive than I assumed.
Still can't believe you thought otherwise mate:) Seems like the very media that you hate so much, had a spell over you

Exactly

You need to think about where we'd be right now if they had sacked LVG in december and replaced him with mourinho from the go.

I think chance is big we had won the Fa cup aswell and we'd be easily be in the top 4 maybay even 2nd or 3th place

The league was a joke this year only thing is with LVG we were an even bigger joke
By most accounts, Mourinho's Chelsea exit clauses didn't allow him to be hired before July 2017
 
Best is the scousers absolutely Hate Jose !! That makes it taste so much sweeter.
He hates them with equal passion. When jose was porto manager, liverpool approached him about the job, but then gave it to Rafa benitez. He since has no regard for them. I have to say, before yesterday, his was the most important contribution to united since fergie retired by not allowing liverpool to win the league. I will love it when he slides down anfield touchline after we score an offside goal in the 95th minute to win the league and celebrate infront of the kop.

Agree. So unnecessary. We've won the FA CA cup after 12 years. Let the manager who we won it at least enjoy his small moment in the sun, especially given this is the last managerial job of a distinguished career.
 
All this talk about bad timing and letting LVG enjoy the trophy. Couldn't disagree more, he's made every United fan endure his 'process' of removing all enjoyment from football for 2 years. Personally I'd have liked Ed to have stopped him walking up the steps to the trophy and said, 'where do you think you're going?..... You're sacked !'
 
Extremely glad to be rid of LVG. 110% think that Jose is what we need to get us back on track. Now I hope that his recent Chelsea debacle and his break have relieved him of some of the madness associated with him and that we'll be better off for it. Let's do it Jose.
 
There's not a chance the BBC would have run with this if it wasn't going to happen, right? Is there a chance for this to not go through now?
 
One good news is in that cringey Sky 'exclusive', his hair was back to normal. Not the angry shaved look he had in his last months at Chavski.

Hope the time out has gotten him recharged and ready to go. The man has a point to prove next season.
 
It would have been better three years ago, the club was in a better position and dare I say Mourinho was a better manager. At least now the two both have something to prove and we can look forward to the new season instead of dreading it.
 
The aperitif after a massive expensive meal and dessert. Get in.
