Do you think people in the titanic ever saw the movie?
LVG Out Thread | BBC: Sacked!
- Thread starter Livewire1974
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

The players and the rest of the staff is preparing for a very important game vs Chelsea tomorrow and Van Gaal hasn't turned up. I find it bizarre really...
It's only true for events who have a direct influence on the buyers and sellers decision making.
In truth, I'm not sure. We had to announce SAF because it would have a dramatic effect on our share price.
I'm not sure whether shorter term comings & goings like LVG and Moyes would have that same effect.
Packing his bags hopefully
A few pictures and stories flying around social media that LvG isn't conducting today's training session and is at Manchester airport. Not going to post as there are no verified sources yet.
When last was this? Has training started?
ERM. By doing the job they are paid do do for the club that pays and the fans that support them.
Maybe that's should be enough of a reason. Not every player likes every manager. Most still work their arses off. Those that dont are a disgrace.
There is no excuse. Absolutely none.
Who says he's not turned up?
Moyes sacking was announced at 08:30 UK time, the NYSE wasnt open (obviously).
Ryan Giggs is taking training right now. Louis van Gaal has not turned up yet [SSN]
And Rio, I think.
He's still enjoying his Christmas dinner
Twitter nonsense. Sky haven't said that.

He's having a meeting with someone. Maybe he's taking a shit and just sent the others out
Maybe he's meeting Woody in London?
Can people please stop this nonsense of all announcements, singings and sackings having to be announced when markets are open. It's patently bullshit. Rules do not mandate you to announce it to the exchanges either. Laws just need you to announce it asap on any public fora, website etc
He's buggering off to Portugal with his pilot UnitedinRed.
Indeed!
The crap people come out with on these forums.Far too many people want us to belive they're ITK.
The only good period of football we had was that 3-4 match run, where the combination of Fellaini, Young, and Blind, caused opposition lots of problems, and then after Mourinho found him out, he was clueless again
I also recall us having the better chances early on in that game but failed to capitalise. It wasn't the worst game and it certainly wasn't the game that turned this season around for us
How dare he try and save his job by beating the current PL champions! It's an absolute outrage to think he'll be smiling after a victory. Fecking gloating cnut.
On a serious note, I think he's going to resign regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game. I think the board and the fans have seen enough. It'd be foolish to have his future hanging on one game.
Agreed. If it was true the rest of the press would be all over it
But I honestly do not understand that logic. The board do not want to sack him clearly, for a whole host of reasons reported in the papers. But how can we not act now? What is the purpose of retaining someone who clearly will not be able to turn things around? How is one game (even if we get a positive result which I highly doubt) going to make a difference? Is the Board seriously implying they will keep LVG if we win against Chelski?
Completely with you. Do not understand the logic/thinking at all.
This is ridiculous he has not been sacked. Should have happened last week. Are we waiting until Spurs and co are like 10 points clear?
you know what I forgot the Chelsea game was Monday and it was a Bank Holiday, not a chance he is getting sacked before that, lose again and who knows.
You mean the team coach can't find its way back from Stoke?
He should have been gone after the Bournemouth game but he is still here, the board seem insistent on us dropping more points before doing something. The way the club is being run at the moment, we don't deserve top four, let alone a run at the title ahead of several other well run clubs, who are doing a lot better than us on less than half our budget. Fecking idiots are in charge of the footballing side of things at United.
Meanwhile on Sky Sports News:
"Let's cross over now to our reporter outside Old Trafford - any update on Louis van Gaal's future, Nick?"
"Unfortunately not, Salmonella. Though a few minutes ago I saw someone exiting the Club Megastore, which is open until 5pm tonight; so clearly, fans leaving early means the writing's on the wall for the Dutchman."
"Thanks, Dick."
"It's Nick, you stupid tart."

Trouble with having lots of Americans on the board, who are involved with a football franchise in the US, is that yes they want to win the Superbowl, but like with a lot of team sports over there it is a closed shop and results aren't necessarily paramount, getting money off the paying customer is. Your club will survive, you don't get relegated, the fans turn up, you get TV revenue. I don't think they have grasped the fact that here, clubs get relelegated, yes relegated. That lots of clubs go bust. They are dealing with United like you would an American franchise when it is completely different.
Probably already been discussed but Sky Sports are reporting that LVG has not reported to training, which is being run by Giggs.
Do you saw that on Sky or on Twitter?
Sky, as in Sky TV
Is Trevor Sinclair at it again?
Really I've not seen anything?
Sky, as in Sky TV
It was already posted in this thread but some posters said that it is bullshit and that Sky is not reporting it.
