think the various transfers we want to make are well on course.
Exactly how I feel. I was excited about what the future just days back. These giggs rumours are scary as feck.Can we hurry up and get this wrapped up. Getting a bit scared with the rumours of giving Giggs the job permanently..
I'm sure he can see the issues he can fix immediately, but I meant in prep for next season, etc.Surely he's had months to think about what he wants to do with us if he got it. He must have realised that there was the possibility he could get this job, surely someone of his calibre has been following our struggles closely.

If you look at it another way, in terms of coaching the squad, implementing his philosophy and technical approach, which personally I think is just as important as any new aquisitions, most of the players would be at the world cup anyway and wouldn't be back in training until LvG was able to start.I do think we wouldn't make the same mistake as last time, waiting until mid-summer.
Short term appointment ok. But to suggest that Van Gaal (or making him manager) is seeking short-term results is ridiculous.I'd just like to go on record here and say that I think this would be a mistake. A short-term appointment, seeking short-term results - a dangerous trend which I fear might be finally catching up with us. I hope I'm wrong.
I've also always disliked Van Gaal. There's nothing to like about him, really.
Van Gaal's short termist focus really killed those Barca and Bayern teams.I'd just like to go on record here and say that I think this would be a mistake. A short-term appointment, seeking short-term results - a dangerous trend which I fear might be finally catching up with us. I hope I'm wrong.

Christ.Moyes got the sack, Van Gaal got his out.
Who's that?Does anyone else reckon we'll get rent-a-gob, football coach almighty to come too? Can't remember his name.
Every manager wants to see short-term results. What exactly is dangerous about seeking it? Moyes was a long term appointment but plunged us into chaos within a season. I would say that is more dangerous, appointing the wrong manager on a long term basis. I wouldn't call 3 years a short term in the modern game, it's a standard length contract at the worlds top clubs.I'd just like to go on record here and say that I think this would be a mistake.

If I'm not mistaken, van Gaal is credited with kick starting Bayern's golden era of today right?Van Gaal's short termist focus really killed those Barca and Bayern teams.
Yeah, and Beckenbauer was waxing lyrical about him on Sky Sports, saying he'd be perfect for us.If I'm not mistaken, van Gaal is credited with kick starting Bayern's golden era of today right?
Can't remember his name, he's Dutch too (think he's working with the national side, or another national side). The one who called Moyes a dinosaur early in the season for his training methods, think he also spoke out against Arsenal saying the reason they have too many injuries is through poor coaching.Who's that?
If van Gaal came in, and quickly decided that he didn't want Rooney, how much would we get for him?Fans on German Bayern forum making Rooney benched/fecked off jokes after reading the van Gaal to United news. Seems like theu know what to expect from him heh heh...
I do remember van Gaal destroying Rooney in an after game analysis once on tv in 2006 or 2007 and called him not too smart regarding his football choices in that game.
Raymond Verheijen?Can't remember his name, he's Dutch too (think he's working with the national side, or another national side). The one who called Moyes a dinosaur early in the season for his training methods, think he also spoke out against Arsenal saying the reason they have too many injuries is through poor coaching.
Can anyone remember his name? I'll try and do a search for the article.
Yes, and Müller thanked him for his development and Schweinsteiger said if someone doesn't want to win then he is useless for van Gaal.If I'm not mistaken, van Gaal is credited with kick starting Bayern's golden era of today right?
I remember that name. He basically called Moyes a dinosaur.Raymond Verheijen?
What option would you prefer?I'd just like to go on record here and say that I think this would be a mistake. A short-term appointment, seeking short-term results - a dangerous trend which I fear might be finally catching up with us. I hope I'm wrong.
I've also always disliked Van Gaal. There's nothing to like about him, really.
I would rather have Van Gaal go back in that case.If van Gaal came in, and quickly decided that he didn't want Rooney, how much would we get for him?
I'm just asking, I'm on the fence regarding Rooney.I would rather have Van Gaal go back in that case.
30-35 maybe?If van Gaal came in, and quickly decided that he didn't want Rooney, how much would we get for him?
While I'm not sure it's the right appointment - there are only two names I'd have great confidence in, neither are coming - we have to accept a lot of the things we've known in the past are going to change. And some things which were probably never different, but we've learn to accept them as part of the way we do things, are also going to look a little unusual. You appoint a manager hoping it's for a good few years, but you can't expect that. If Van Gaal is here and is doing well, it may be for four-five years. In modern football, that's a lot.I'd just like to go on record here and say that I think this would be a mistake. A short-term appointment, seeking short-term results - a dangerous trend which I fear might be finally catching up with us. I hope I'm wrong.

Not sure I like all the chatter coming from the Van Gaal camp.Kluivert on talksport about van Gaal as a person, a manager and the possibility of joining him if he does become Manchester United manager.
http://talksport.com/football/van-gaal-man-uniteds-first-pick-boss-reveals-dutch-legend-14042688928
Finally my dream of Kluivert joining Manchester United is looking very likely to becoming true.
I thought he was being sarcastic.If I'm not mistaken, van Gaal is credited with kick starting Bayern's golden era of today right?
Ummm, difficult because even hypothetically, no idea who will go for him..maybe PSG, so at least 30m. Shouldn't happen and won't happen though. Rooney is one of the core players who should be part of rebuilding and his experience with club will be helpful. Van Gaal knows RvP's injury record so he is not going to put all eggs in RvP named basket. I think Chicha might leave though...I'm just asking, I'm on the fence regarding Rooney.
Highly unlikely that Van Gaal doesn't like Rooney. If were going to sell him, we should sell him to the Madrid muppets for 60 million pounds at least. No way we will sell him for 40 to Chelsea or something.I'm just asking, I'm on the fence regarding Rooney.
That's the one! I was just being a bit sarcastic, but he's worked with Van Gaal before and certainly likes to express his views on matters coaching.Raymond Verheijen?
