This is the first official LVG out thread. There's been a few unofficial ones so far.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Cowardly tactics in Europe meant we didn't get the advantage from our home games we should've.
It's the same story in the league. Dropping points left, right and centre for fear of attacking.
Risk takers like Herrera are never more than a quiet half from the bench. Yet Van Gaal plays safety first cloggers and underperformers consistently.
He has taken United as far as he can. We will not win anything with him at the helm.
Van Gaal has to go.

Fergies earned his retirement.
Does this qualify as a meltdown?
Just asking like.......

Why? He loves United and we need him. Its pretty much the same scenario we had when he begged Scholes to return and save the day. Also its not as if anyone is expecting him to win the treble.
Holy moly this thread has gathered some pace.
Been saying it for a while. Sooner he f*cks off the better.
He's not been a mentor, he's a fecking Dementor
Yeah I think I'm done with him.
Losing my patience at the moment I must admit. The worrying thing is Carrick seems to be frozen out this season, coupled with the earlier media reports about him and Rooney confronting LvG, does not look good.
LvG has made a big mess with his decision to stick with Rooney, and it might just be his downfall. Still think he should be given the chance to win the league given how shite everybody else are, but if we fall out of the race and top 4 is under threat then the logical thing is to part ways.

Nah..Been waiting to happen for like a month!
I am sure as hell having a meltdown.
well he loves us and we need him. He did called Scholes out of retirement after all and we need him more than we needed Paul. Giggs can do the leg work and Im sure we can convince Rene to return
If i were him i wouldn't. Risk tarnishing your legacy for 6 months? Fergie's stock has increased by the month since the day he retired, and he hasn't even had to do anything.
Im not saying he's done a great job. But we have tens of LVG out threads after every loss. Some people wanted us to lose today just to see him sacked. Im just saying this place is getting a tad out of hand.
This thread has to be 85% opposition wums
You do realise Simione plays a similar compact, organised team unit? They've scored the same amount of league goals as us this season.
Ive moaned about Rooney all season, but watching how LVG is destroying other talented players im starting to think Rooney may still be a good player and its LVG`s tactics and fecking philosophy that makes good players crap.
~Think about all the players who have gone to shit under LVG!

I'm kind of curious what we'd look like if we give him a third, even a fourth year. Maybe he'll finish the process?
Are the return of Fergie posts serious? 
I love the Caf. Great work lads.

I don't think there's anything he can do that would tarnish his legacy. Everyone knows that this team cant win trophies. Surely the old man can stir the ship to a top 4 place. He knows the EPL more than all the other managers in the EPL combined
Its slow compared to twitter. Have a look at #lvgout.
Get the petition done and I'm in kostur. FFS. Gutted.
This is the ideal day for a meltdown.
Attacking players seem to have gone to shit or simply not given a chance
In fairness to Lvg he has done well with the defenders
He probably could, but he went out a winner. I just wouldn't do it if i was him, that's all i'm saying.
Went down that road with Busby before, didn't work. No reason to chance it now.
All of Fergie's back room staff are gone. He's been out of the game for 2 years, he won't be the same all knowing presence he was.
Stick with LvG for the moment, but if he begins failing in the league as well then put the feelers out for Pep/Ancelotti.
Can we get a poll in here?
Fred the red?
Regardless of who manages this squad, at least two £50 million + forward players are needed. Plus a midfielder who isn't a flat-footed trudger.
The BIGGEST issue is a lack of quality. So many slow, 'need three touches', 'can't dribble or move my legs quickly' trudgers in this squad.
But van Gaal is clearly still not putting an actual concrete plan in place - so another manager is also needed. One who actually knows what he wants.

I believe in LvG. Be more patient. If you look at the big picture, we have improved since his takeover. Yes we've spent shitloads but LvG takes time.
*jazz hands*
Wouldn't sack him now but I think we should be approaching a successor (Guardiola, Ancelotti, Rooney etc.) and have it sorted for next season, let Van Gaal finish the season and thank him for the job but it wasn't enough.
What a bunch of embarrassing hangers on we have. Hang your heads you non-contributing zero's
TBF i wanted him gone , still do , but we would have played another 2 matches in CL no more. so no matter to the powers that be. he'll be here unless we start to lose and not draw.
well lets agree to disagree on that. However by how things are evolving I wont be surprised if we lose the top 4 spot too. Philosophy isn't working.
I think that A rusty SAF > Philosophy
Ruud Gullit just said live on tv that he hears little things from Lineker and Shearer about United (they apparently have sources in the 'the Utd camp') when they talk at Motd. Says 'it's rigid', but doesn't think the time is right to elaborate.
Of course it's not a fecking surprise the word rigid gets dropped regarding Van Gaals reign. Louis is killing us and when the results aren't helping there's nothing to do but for him to feck off

I think that he is months - if not weeks - away from pressing the self destruct button. It pretty much always happens, and he resisted it so far cause both the CEO and the fans were kind to him, granting him every wish. But now things look to have change (at least from fans) and we will see soon the ugly part of Van Gaal. The arrogant one who declares that universe is making a conspiracy against him and blames everyone. You know, the one we saw at Barcelona and Bayern.
I just can't see him fixing things very fast (especially with these injuries), so the next option for him is that.
I will be very surprised if he'll be our manager next August.
I agree with this thread but only in the summer.. changing him now might mean it affects what ever chance we have at top 4.
GROW UP
