What a terrible idea.
It takes one or two good wins and we see threads like this popping up all over the place.

LVG as our DOF
- Thread starter Footyislife
- Start date
Should we consider Moyes while at it?
You often read of frustrated 'Wenger out' Arsenal fans who'd like to get rid of Arsene by shifting him upstairs. This makes little sense to me, as many of the same problems would remain - because of AW's continued influence - regardless of his undoubted acumen. Besides, managers who've become accustomed to being in total charge aren't likely to adjust well to secondary roles. The same applies, IMO, with LVG and United if a similar scenario came to pass.
My wife doesnt love me any more, she's proposed moving me "upstairs" and bringing in a new fella to take care of her more immediate needs. That would leave me to do what I am best at, like taking out the rubbish and emptying the dishwasher.
Why would we give a director of football role to a guy who has barely made a single good decision in the 2 years he's been here?
Dof@thementalinstitute, sure why not.
This.
The Caf sometimes feels like a goldfish bowl, some of the members have a 3 second memory!
Bring back Moyes as manager.
Is this another conspiracy theory?
At least you laid the foundations for the next bloke, mate.
Alternatively, we could sack him and feck him off into retirement.
Good wins?
In fairness, I did say one or two.
One very good against City. Especially as we hadnt won since Fergie.
Was the same after the Arsenal win.
Just no.
Well I certainly brought through the youth (had kids) and lowered expectations, the only thing missing was banging on about my philosophy.
Beat City 4-2 last season, unless you mean won at City since Fergie
What is it with our fans, that they just don't get the concept of letting go? If someone's not good enough for their purpose, feck them off. Why not actually just get a competent, experienced and previously successful director of football if that's what we're looking for? Instead of a failed manager, who's previously made a complete twat of himself in the same position and a history of falling out with people?
Moyes as manager and LvG as DOF. What a dream team that would be.
Psycho ex - she still has some redeeming qualities. So I'll adopt her as my sister.
No thank you.
LVG's philosophy essentially of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
After this season, I've had enough of him.
Best of luck to him in his retirement.

a) He hasn't earned the job with his performance.
b) How can a failed manager have any authority at a club? Ferguson's respect was built on success.
c) He belongs in a mental institution. Fellaini can be his male nurse.

Mrs Vangle would kill him if he took the job. And besides, LVG's pride wouldn't stand for what is effectively a demotion in favour of another manager.
terrible idea.
Whatever the club decides it is. There's no set job description.
The point is how does we know if x is good for the job if we dont even know what job he'll be doing.
In this case lvg, would him being a dof hampers mourinho? Mourinho is a good enough manager to hold his own, having a dof works for lesser manager.
Imagine a dof above saf and it's probably doomsday
Don't worry, we can sign Ibrahimovic as captain and Donald Trump as kitman to balance things out. Drumpf brings the added bonus of constructing an excellent free kick defence as well.
That sums it up for me.
Don't want him anywhere near the club after Summer. We already have one manager lingering around and that has been part of our downfall, So we definetly don't want another one behind the scenes.
Way over the top, you must be like 12, either that or you have severe memory loss.
Normally the DOF would be in place first, then he would be involved in appointing the manager so there wouldn't be a clash.
Most of our players have regressed under him.
Ask Koeman how it was at Ajax with LvG. Unprofessional at times.

why?
Van Gaal as DOF, Giggs as manager, Moyes as assistant?
Then we can have a full set of guys who have failed having another crack, lovely.

The break with Van Gaal has to be clean and thorough.
I like this idea better
He's actually the worst DoF imaginable. Just read about his stint in charge at Ajax, and why Koeman and himself have remained best mates to this very day.
