If it wasn't going right we could at least trust the bus driver to hit Rooney when Jose throws him under it.

We should just hire Jose on a short contract and see how the team responds. Short contract with Pep still an option.
I just can't see him being fired. Then again, I said that last week about you know who...
@UnitedinRed you still here?
Dagenham & Redbridge would beat our current side.
When we were hiring him most of us knew that while he wasnt perfect he was the best avaiable coach at time.
That has changed. Better coaches are avaiable and we have enough reasons to sack him.

Needs to be done ASAP whilst we have a chance of saving the season not when everything is lost
worst thing is we have a stew for a whole week now
What did he say after the game?
Michael Owen said he's gone. Either now in a few weeks.

A lot of United fans also said the same up until Moyes was sacked. Managers get sacked all of the time, so I'm not sure how it's some unseeable occurrence in these kind of circumstances.
If we wait till everything is lost like with Moyes it's a truly idiotic decision. I just hope we've learnt from past mistakes.
I feel for him as I do like him. And it's a shit way to end your career, if that's how it happens.
I'd most want Pep at the end of the season and I'm not sure Giggs as a caretaker would be any better than van Gaal til the summer. If Carlo and Pep are beyond reach, then maybe Jose now would be the way to go. He may not play the football we want to see, but SAF loves him and he might well try to prove himself in ways he hasn't by taking over at United. It's a huge challenge and maybe what he really needs right now.
Agreed.
So what's the latest? Surely there has to be quite a bit of murmuring going on by now.
I agree he needs to go now while we are still in touch. We don't want to do what we did with Moyes and sack him when it's far too late. A good manager could save our season.
I assume he won't be around for much longer but I do think we'll ultimately benefit from his time here. The squad's still a work in progress but much good has been done in terms of rebuilding in a short period. I don't think we'll truly regret selling any of the players gone, especially when you consider the circumstances of how they left. A less restrictive manager should more from many of the players he's brought in.
I don't think Woodward will. This time it costs less to sack him I assume as he only has a year left. Also aren't a couple of our sponsorships tied up to qualifying for the CL? If so, Woodward won't jeopardise those for a couple million to not sack him now.
Yep.
Have to say, while I don't want him sacked, I can see it being a matter of time now. Today was a kick in the teeth as he had players back to make up for sone of the frailties in recent weeks.
What I don't understand is how the defence has collapsed in recent weeks. The goals we are conceding are poor goals.
As it is, I think he may walk away. But if that's bthe case, or he is sacked, we must have a plan. Giggs isn't a plan, its a massive risk and one we can't afford to take. If that is the plan, keep van Gaal.
Very disappointing today. Broken team and manager.

Hope it's true. Their source is Mark Ogden and he's usually well-informed when it comes to United.
Getting a bit smokey isn't it.
Sack him and bring Mourinho TODAY!
It's not like when Moyes was sacked; getting rid of that absolute clown was the best news of the entire season. The decision to sack Van Gaal, or a mutual parting of the ways, will be tinged with sadness for me. His faults have been well documented, but up until the last two months, things were not so bad, and he seemed to be improving the results, even if the improvement was at a glacial speed relative to the size of investment in players. On a personal level, I am much more favourable towards Van Gaal. It just hasn't worked on the pitch, and I think he's run out of ideas. I hope he will be honoured by the club and fans, as he deserves.
Something big could be happening.
Feck me, journalism is dead.

One reporter quoting another...
Pretty sure that all stopped after Moyes left. I'm not saying LvG won't get sacked, but don't rely on what Ogden says.
Surely Ed is considering it at the moment and it depends on whether we have a replacement before he acts. LVG clearly isnt going to challenge for the league with his playing style.
Judging by Van Gaal's post match, that sounded very much like he knew some news was coming.
Reading this from Raphael Honigstein when he got fired at Bayern, it's obvious he never learnt and why I have firmly been convinced for a long time now that things wouldn't really get better with him , when things started to unravel.
The comments about his 4-2-3-1 system and his unwillingness to change it even when it was evidently not working sounds oddly familiar.

The similarities with what went wrong at Bayern, and whats going wrong here, is just uncanny.
Talk about not learning from your past mistakes.
I have to say I'm grateful to LvG for getting us to a point where we were playing football that some of the best teams in the league couldn't cope with and getting us as high as 2nd(?) in the PL (April last season). Relying on Rooney to deliver and his persisting with the 4-2-3-1 system have been his biggest downfalls. If this is a sign of things to come, then we need to part ways.
I really think the best course of action now is to continue with this brand of football and build on it. Obviously that means getting Pep in. I think bringing someone like Jose in would tear down all that built and be a massive step backwards as would hiring Giggs.
If we can't secure Pep then expect another rebuild and another few years of not challenging in Europe.
It's just sad that the best football we were playing last year, and the football many thought we'd build on this season, was a fluke.
What if Mourinho has a clause that he can' t join a PL rival this season? Or is it kind of confirmed that he doesn't?
Chelsea can't control what he does when they sack him. So he has a clause, within the contract that has been terminated?
I hope he has and that it lasts for the next 20 years.
doesn't matter for LVG. or shouldn't LVG needs offing. he had no hesitation is getting rid of players he thought weren't up for the board should do the same.
Eh?
