Yeah you either get him in immediately as in this week or wait until after the Chelsea game. The last thing we'd want if he was to join would be a home defeat to Chelsea, would put us and him under pressure immediately. Having said that if it were to happen and we won..
Exactly. I've had so much ambivalence in the last two months. It's shocking how ambivalent I am about this. If I were the guy in charge, I honestly couldn't sack him, especially after his last press conference. I just wanted to give him a hug and give him 100 million for the January window.
Thank god you are not in the board then
He brought this on himself. So I do not feel sorry at all. Why did he fix what was not broken. We were fine last season (2nd half anyways). The guy has lost his marbles.Ogden has also said he's gone if we lose to either Stoke or Chelsea and Ladyman saying basically the same thing (if not earlier).
How has he lost his marbles? I don't agree with his selection policy and many of his tactical decisions in games, but he certainly hasn't lost his marbles.Thank god you are not in the board then
Not seen anything about Giggs.
Well that's the thing, it's difficult to know if there's any nuance to it. If we play really well in both games but lose the Chelsea one I'd be more open to keeping than I currently am or I would be if we played as we have been but scraped a couple of results. It seems like it might be the case given they were briefing the press a couple of weeks ago that they considered Van Gaal a "genius" because we were still in the Champions League and near the top of the league with no recognition for the poor quality of performances or the likelihood that results were bound to drop off given the way we've been playing.
They've been briefed then? Tbh, I only find Ladyman to be credible.
you're blinded by sentimentality, which is exactly what got us into this mess, first up with appointing moyes.
Exactly, I mean what if he gets 4 points from those 2 games and then loses the following 2? Football has to be bigger picture than that, either you believe he's the man for the job come thick or thin, of you cut the rope and get someone new in.
Wasn't there a time when similar reports were around Fergie (pre-success) ?
Looks that way, every back page has him on the brink and at least 4 with the specific 2 games to save his job. Every indication is that Mourinho is waiting, the Sun claiming contact has already been made.
It was obvious Moyes was out of his depth. van Gaal's football has got most supporters feeling suicidal. The worst part is we are not getting results. The tast two matches were also devoid of any sensible tactics. Sorry I am getting furious thinking about them. I have seen United lose matches badly because we had poor teams. But to use a team that I still believe can win the title to play and lose like this is disgraceful. I dont care about his past achievments. I am not interested in his excuses. He has either completey lost it or has sabotaged the team's performances. Get Rid.
Well, thats what we did with Moyes.
And it was bs, he was never at one game of being sacked.
Yes, that's what makes it even more idiotic.
I am not blinded by sentimentality; I am obviously not the right man to make these decisions because I'd be hopeless. It's not up to me, and if he is sacked, I will not complain about it. I am just ambivalent. I want him to go, and I want him to somehow turn it around at the same time. The January window and Klopp's Liverpool losing again has made me question the wisdom of sacking the manager right now.
The players may have fully learned how to implement the philosophy.
Yep. You wouldn't expect anything less from the United board though.
Two dominant wins would certainly give me renewed faith in fairness
Yeah, it is a bit silly.
We've also managed just 4 wins in the last 16.
