I just saw the clips of this, what the fuck is he doing, bringing out bits of paper and pointing to the blue arrows, to explain his tactics? :dawsonlol:

In his pressers he's like a bolshy young graduate trying to blag his way through a job interview.
 
I'd have said he was more of an arrogant cunt, but since that's not an option he's a knob.

I was gutted when we missed out on him, but now can't help feeling we got away with one.
 
Can someone get a reporter to ask him what metric he used to statistically differentiate a 'short' ball from a 'long' ball in his next press conference?
 
The rag media are mostly WUM cunts - his biggest mistake was biting and then trying to educate this fucking peasants in advanced tactical management. We've seen it happen to so many foreign managers - it's quite frankly despicable behaviour from these bottom feeding vermin. Anyone sticking for them needs to get their head checked, imv - look how they even treated our very own AVB
 
Oliver Holt is a knob as well - doesn't he realise that 95% of football want Old Trafford to be in chaos?

Don't blame Louis van Gaal for all Manchester United's problems: Dutchman won't be swayed by public opinion... and without him Old Trafford would be in chaos

Danger threatens Manchester United in the discontent that is starting to build around the management of Louis van Gaal. The wheels of dissent are grinding audibly now and the noise may yet grow louder in March and April when United’s fixtures get tougher.

It is important that United hold their nerve and show resolve this time in a way they failed to do when David Moyes was buckling under the pressure of trying to keep the club in the bright light where Sir Alex Ferguson had camped them for more than 20 years.

Curing Manchester United is going to take time. The penny should have dropped by now that there is no quick fix, not even if you spend £150 million on new players in the summer. You need patience and you need a man like Van Gaal whose self-confidence knows no limits.

Louis van Gaal is self-assured and Manchester United must back him to avoid falling further into the malaise

David Moyes was blamed for the fall of an empire, but United's problems are complex and deep-rooted

England's humiliation: Outbatted, outbowled and out-thought… Eoin Morgan's men off to nightmare start

Q&A: Mail on Sunday's Chief Sports Writer on Jose Mourinho, Mario Balotelli and whether Lionel Messi is better than Cristiano Ronaldo

The first step towards rehabilitation and the return to greatness that United’s fans crave is to finish in the top four this season, but they are locked in an increasingly tense struggle with Southampton, Woolwich, Tottenham and Liverpool for the last two places.

It is possible they won’t make it and if that happens, strident voices will scream about the money Van Gaal has spent and the uninspiring football United have played and demand that he is sacked.

United’s performance in the victory over Burnley on Wednesday, as so often this season, was anxious and uncertain. Their defence seemed bewildered by the movement of Danny Ings. Their opponents were unlucky not to get more out of the game, another familiar trend under Van Gaal. United are not winning any friends with their style as they cling to third place, trailing in the wake of Chelsea and Manchester City.

But let’s get one thing straight: the very last thing that United should do in the summer, whether they make the top four or not, is to get rid of Van Gaal. It would not help their cause. In fact, it would deal a serious blow to their hopes of recovering their pre-eminence. It is not Van Gaal’s fault that United offered him the job knowing that he would not be able to start until last July because of his commitments with Holland.

Louis van Gaal's own children call him "Sir"

In Dutch and German there are two ways of addressing someone in the "you" form
The first one in German is "du" and this is for people with whom you are on first name terms or "daddy"
The second on in German is "sie" and is for people you call "Mr" - very formal indeed.
van Gaal's own children address him in the "Mr. van Gaal" form
 
considering how much they spent, they absolutely should be challenging for the title. Id be furious if we spent 60 million on someone and got falcao on loan for £30498038403 a week and then were getting shown up by leicester and west ham
The club is such a mess though that they've got no hope of challenging for a title.

When SAF left, he burned the whole thing to the ground on his way out the door. They had no succession plan in place, no direction, or idea of how to find one. I think half of LVG's job there is just to put the human capital/infrastructure in place so the club can function again.

That doesn't excuse the pathetic football they're playing. But it does explain what a clusterfuck Man Utd are right now.
