I wouldn't want that verheijen arsehole anywhere near the club.
I hope they do somewhat well though, at least leave their group. Want the world to see that when he comes here, he'll be quick to impress.If it is indeed to be confirmed as Van Gaal then I hope Holland have a quick exit from the World Cup.
All it takes is one text message to Woodward with some names to arrive and go.If it is indeed to be confirmed as Van Gaal then I hope Holland have a quick exit from the World Cup.
On all tomorrow's back pages that he's got the job. They all mention Giggs is staying on as a coach as well.
Nobody takes Verheijen really seriously, would be ridiculous appointing him at United given his credentials, misplaced judgements and the fact that we have what, five(!) sport scientists on a full time basis already at Carrington since 2006 or something? Or did Moyes get rid of them, I never checked that, but I assume not.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.
He is backing Van Gaal further down in this article too: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27123670
He comes across as a bit of a mouth here (although I find myself agreeing with him a lot): http://thebusbyway.com/2014/03/28/yet-another-scathing-attack-on-prehistoric-nitwit-moyes/

Could be interesting to see what happens there. Patrick Kluivert has also said he would follow Van Gaal to United if he is asked, so I'm just wondering what about this as a team?
Manager: Van Gaal.
Assistants: Kluivert and Giggs.
Coaches: Verheijen, Scholes, Butt. Maybe P. Neville too, but how many coaches do we need?
If van Gaal orders it, it will happen. van Gaal has his way to make things go the way he likes.Nobody takes Verheijen really seriously, would be ridiculous appointing him at United given his credentials, misplaced judgements and the fact that we have what, 5 sport scientists on a full time basis already at Carrington since 2006 or something?
I want it done ASAP simply because Giggs and the team will finish very strongly and this will help Ferguson in his attempts to get the class of 92 led by Ryan Giggs to takeover.Can we hurry up and get this wrapped up. Getting a bit scared with the rumours of giving Giggs the job permanently..
Yep, but it is unlikely. Van Gaal really likes sports science and all, so I think he is going to be impressed with Carrington. Also Verheijen was availabe but Van Gaal did not take him on his current with the Dutch National squad. He's not a prophet or a pioneer or something, everybody at the top clubs in Europe know what Verheijen preaches.If van Gaal orders it, it will happen. van Gaal has his way to make things go the way he likes.
Rooney would be confused and angry.I know it could feck up our transfers but I would quite like a World Cup winner as our coach. Also image the momentum coming into the start of the season if Van Gaal and RVP had just won the World Cup
I will shit myself on a daily basis for a month straight and not wash if that happens. We have no chance, might not even make it to the second roundI know it could feck up our transfers but I would quite like a World Cup winner as our coach. Also image the momentum coming into the start of the season if Van Gaal and RVP had just won the World Cup
I don't know much about him other than the fact he's certainly been talking a lot this year.I wouldn't want that verheijen arsehole anywhere near the club.
I didn't even know who he was until he layed into Moyes at the start of the season.Nobody takes Verheijen really seriously, would be ridiculous appointing him at United given his credentials, misplaced judgements and the fact that we have what, five(!) sport scientists on a full time basis already at Carrington since 2006 or something?

He broke his nose a couple of times during his playing days.What's up with his nose?
There will be all kinds of post mortem of each and every Holland game here in that case and discussion on whether Van Gaal is right choice or not will get really tedious. I hope they progress till around quarters (which will be what, early July?) or so and then bow outIf it is indeed to be confirmed as Van Gaal then I hope Holland have a quick exit from the World Cup.
Good news. The best advantage of retaining Giggs-Scholes for short term will be, they will tell Van Gaal more about likes of Lingard-Powell-Wilson-Keane twins etc and he can then decide on who is good enough to make the cut. If there is no connection with past structure, Van Gaal and his team might take time getting acquainted with academy/reserve players at United.On all tomorrow's back pages that he's got the job. They all mention Giggs is staying on as a coach as well.
His age and past experience, I'd imagine.For some reason i see his imminent appointment as just a stop gap!
But what's to say he wont get a 6 year contract?
It sounds "van hal". It's much better indeed.Is it "van gal" or "van hal".
I much prefer "hal"
By some, not so much by others. I think a fair consensus would say he played a significant role but there were other equally decisive factors. Look up some of the Bundesliga poster's thoughts in this thread, I know there have been some good summaries but I don't have time to search them out right now.If I'm not mistaken, van Gaal is credited with kick starting Bayern's golden era of today right?
I heard him pronounce his own name on a tv interview and it sounded like Lew-Is Van HaalIs it "van gal" or "van hal".

Shame for him I much prefer "lew-ee"I heard him pronounce his own name on a tv interview and it sounded like Lew-Is Van Haal
If they can make it to the quarters they can make it all the way , since they have to beat Spain and Brazil to reach the quarters .There will be all kinds of post mortem of each and every Holland game here in that case and discussion on whether Van Gaal is right choice or not will get really tedious. I hope they progress till around quarters (which will be what, early July?) or so and then bow out
Good point although in that scenario they can meet Spain again later and there will be Germany, Argentina coming from other half. You never know. Anyway, no point wondering about it too much right now.If they can make it to the quarters they can make it all the way , since they have to beat Spain and Brazil to reach the quarters .
It shouldn't matter, the players already know he's finishing up with Holland after the world cup.I personally don't think he'll be announced before the end of the World Cup. It's just not professional to announce something like this when he's still got a massive job to do for Holland.
Read somewhere that Dutch FA are OK provided all formalities are completed before May 7th when he is supposed to be back from holiday and start on his WC task by announcing first list of squad.I personally don't think he'll be announced before the end of the World Cup. It's just not professional to announce something like this when he's still got a massive job to do for Holland.
The speculation would be ridiculous and unsettling for us though and the stock exchange and all that bollocks, we can't leave it until July. We will definitely announce it before the WC. Everyone in Holland knows he's leaving them anyway so saying he's coming here won't make too much of a difference to them.I personally don't think he'll be announced before the end of the World Cup. It's just not professional to announce something like this when he's still got a massive job to do for Holland.
