Where the goals come from.
Like most sane people, I've always been against this plane bollocks, but I'm actually at the point where things are so desperate that I'd be prepared to back something pretty extreme.

I'd like to see a mosaic, personally. Instead of looking like the action of a few spoilt rich kids, it would send an undeniable message to everybody that every single fan wants him out. Which I believe they do. That is genuinely powerful.

Why can't someone from the UK get a donation page going? Just do it already. Lazy feckers.

If you're going to do it, make it sting. Just "LvG out" will do nothing.

It needs to be..

"Mr Louis, would you mind terribly perhaps leaving if that's not too inconvenient. Or you know, whenever. Toodles!"

If people want him out, stop shaking his hand at the end of the game.

Still haven't heard a single chant for LvG to go yet either.

Im not against a banner, but doing nothing AT ALL before that point makes no sense either. At this point i think the rest of the league are baffled by how we can believe doing feck all makes us "classy". Laughing their fecking heads of....yep, we're a completely irrelevant (but still classy!!!) laughing stock, what an achievement....

So all it will take for the board to sack him is for fans not to shake his hands.
It would be a start to be fair, absolutely nothing is done at the moment to make anyone thing we want LvG or anyone else sacked. Abysmal at home against Liverpool....no worries, when the camera pans to LvG leaving his seat at the end every fecker is happy as larry wanting a handshake, selfie and autograph.

Did you not hear the booing in December?
If you didn't, take it from me, it was horrific.
LVG head down, did a slow walk from his dug-out, after another loss.

And on the subject of the banner:
The losing, the drawing, the bizarre tactics and substitutions.
The misplaced belief that we can win the Europa League, the FA Cup and/or get into the top 4.

Enough is enough.
I think we have reached the point.
I will contribute towards the banner, if it came to it.

We're such a farce that I wouldn't find a banner embarrassing any more.

More exciting than the football.

Come on, don't be all disingenuous. United fans need to be more ruthless. This guy has done much worse than Moyes has considering the fact that he's actually had time to mould the squad into the one he wants. Yet we're still being civil about it. Like some have said, it's like we're all frogs in an increasingly boiling pot of water. Madrid fans would be seething if they were in our shoes.

I'll be relieved if Mourinho comes in next season (and this, despite me not voting yes in the would you be happy with Jose poll) but I'd also be questioning why we didn't just make the move in January when we were actually in a position to salvage our season.

Anything done now will have been too late. We're out of Europe, lagging behind the top four and we've got a very losable cup tie away to West Ham. Van Gaal might say we're still in 2 competitions, but Manchester United should be in the league to win it, so let's not pretend for a second that we're still "in the competition", league wise.

Banners in the stadium or in the air are due. Not having this "embarrassed" shite. The standards have fallen through the floor at this club and it isn't acceptable.

Yes i did, but i also saw how in every interview LvG or the players did, they made out like the booing was directed at the whole club rather than directly at LvG.

I also happened to hear the god awful LvG's Red Army chanting barely 3 weeks ago.

Booing at full time shows disapproval of the performance just watched. It doesn't state clearly that LvG is wanted gone.

It SHOULD be obvious to the board, but sacking him 3 months ago should also have been obvious. Clearly the board need things spoon fed. They look at the fans interactions as far as LvG goes and all they see directed at LvG is Smiles, handshakes and autographs by those sat next to the dugout every game, and the occasional LvG's red army chant when we play someone who inexplicably throws us a win.

The same happens with Rooney and co. Whine whine whine to each other how he shouldn't be playing ahead of Martial or such n such, then spent 20 minutes of the 90 singing Rooney Rooney Rooney.

The board are clearly walking round thinking LvG and Rooney are the only things the fans are happy about.

What a bunch of spoilt cnuts. Contrast to Chelsea supporters last night and then this.... honestly it's the season of goodwill, give the money to the Salvation Army.
So everytime the next manager has a bad patch United fans are going to do this? I don't want to hear another word of criticism for Madrid fans after this.
LVG will not be staying. If he fecks up the next couple of games he will likely go. Doubt he will stay beyond the end of the season, so why all this? Not good for the players as well. Absolutely fecking stupid.
I don't condone this behaviour in any way but your putting it lightly by saying "Bad patch"

I agree fans needed to be more ruthless.But that time was before the Glazers took over. No amount of snubbing handshakes. flying banners ,bitching on the internet and booing is going to influence a sacking.

Woody is no doubt sat in his office, in London, right now, pondering along these very lines:

“I really think Vangle has been shite, but I need something...oh, if there was just some sign. Let's say a plane with a banner flown over Old Trafford! Yes, that would be the kicker for me – nothing else would do, mind. It would have to be that – a plane. No plane and he keeps his job – that has to be the formula here.”

That's a fair point. And well made. It's really only about showing displeasure with the club, board, and manager. I'd rather we just pelted Woodward with eggs. Ones with teeny tiny imprints of Van Gaal's face on them, to psychologically scar him.

Ah the feck.
Nobody's gonna get rid of anybody sat in 6th place, 4 points from 4th and in the FA cup.

Simple as. Stop torturing yourselves.

He may be gone end of the season. That's the best we can hope for.
