The Manchester United Thread XIX

They're stuck in the past and believe this club is better than everybody else. United fans need to realise that things have changed and this club is no better than anybody else. The average manager in the Premier League is in charge for two or so seasons.

I have never ridiculed a team for sacking a manager that is under performing. It would be hilarious for any United fan to comment on other clubs doing this when our club saw success for the vast majority of Sir Alex's reign. Can't comment when your club is not going through the same ****.

The only team I have ever commented on is Real Madrid. They sack a manager after losing to the best team in world football.

I mean you've contributed with the same 'you guys are the worst, you guys are horrible' too. Obviously this is gonna get discussed the most.

LvG handled the presser perfectly btw.

Storming out isn't something you'd do in a perfect press conference. It's childish. Unless the reporters insulted his mother or something, stay put and answer the questions. It doesn't do you any favours if you get in a strop and leave.

I couldnt agree with this more. We had an incredible manager in SAF who held the role for 26 years but times have changed. We laugh at other clubs when they change and sack thier managers but now we're the same. We're like any other top club out there and we're likely to go through managers now as well after a 3-4 year spell if they under achieve. The days of Fergie and Wenger are gone, football has changed and so has our club. If we didnt have Fergie, we'd have been no different than the rest of the clubs.

I cant see how anybody can defend van Gaal. I feel sad about the pressure he has come under but thats the type of pressure you'll feel at any top job in any industry if you arent performing well. Frankly, the only positive thing hes done is bring through youngsters into the first team although thats even arguably down to injuries. He got us into the champions league places last season but thats expected considering he spent like 150m last season. He spent another good 100m or so and this season we've played awful awful football. He cant keep saying its a process, you cannot spend 250m or so pounds and not challenge for the title. It cant take you 18 months to get a club playing the style you want ffs. He has mismanaged the team, comtinued to be so god damn stubborn and simply plays players out of position like he wants to show hes doing some next tactical masterplan.

Seriously if he showed the agression that he has shown in this press conference and made the players translate that on the pitch, then the players should be fired up for the Stoke match and respond. If they dont respond against Stoke, im not talking about losing but if performances from the team is still woeful then its fair to assume that he has lost the players and so therefore his position has become untenable.

Correction

David de Gea got us into the Champions League, we would have finished in a Moyes position if it wasn't for him.

Mother****er how would you like it if journos were saying you had been sacked from wherever it is you work? How would your family react? Obviously you don't have the financial cushion LvG does, but it's still his job. He has every right to be pissed.

Remember when everyone went crazy over LVG just cos he subbed a keeper at the WC lmfao

Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

I don't understand how LVG can possibly continue with this regimented and restricted style of play in the final third? We need movement, it's so obvious.
