How long is the cliff van Gaal is supposedly on the edge of?

This would be the first rumours of something happening.

As someone had said in another thread, even this kind of rumors/reports of him being in danger of the sack haven't been there.

You know shit is desperate when you are willing to put your hopes and dreams in the hands of The Mirror. I even capitalised it out of grudging respect.

The Mirror, meh. The Star reported this morning that Mourinho had signed a contract and all. These sources are pretty wank.

So we're only sacking him if we get knocked out of the Europa League, FA Cup, AND we lose to Arsenal?

Pretty much defeats the whole purpose of bringing Mourinho in before the end of the season.

Should United lose to League One Shrewsbury in the FA Cup on Monday, exit the Europa League and be cast further adrift in the race for a top-four place when they host Arsenal the following Sunday, Van Gaal's position will be untenable.
:lol:

Woodward has been briefing to appease the fans again...which will take us to our next game and our next defeat..then rinse repeat. Paper talk is fecking cheap nowadays, it isn't anything we haven't heard before.

Time to act United! Stop the fecking rot.

If we do end up bringing in Mourinho before the end of the season then the club should come under serious criticism for not pulling the trigger back in December, let alone now.

Has LVG had his presser yet? Can't wait for him to play the victim again.

'You've already sacked me. Say sorry.'

Links? Not looked at the LvG out thread since Cina's heinous WUM
Links to MEN and the Guardian on this page. Every report reads the same, this is clearly briefed from the club.

Mourinho needs to come in the summer to have a fresh start and be allowed to bring in some of his own players.

It's too late in the season to reenergize this sorry group of players, and by having Mourinho in now he loses the starting momentum his appointment would have after this season is done.

Face saving from the Woody, he knows the fans are turning on him.

All those reports are saying Giggs only wants the job on permanent basis too

What egos is he on about? I thought Woodward was the decision maker

Edit - I guess it's Charlton and/or Ferguson again who don't want Mourinho

Don't see how this is face saving from Woody?:confused: Sort of confirming that things are not good in the boardroom. Nevertheless, if it's true Woodward wants Mourinho and has the power to veto the 'egos' then he should go ahead and do it. What's the fecking point of wasting time catering to people's egos whilst we're in this fecking crisis?:confused: JUST GROW A PAIR AND DO IT WOODY!

That's too much to ask. Did you see his scarf?

Yeah saw this.

It's tabloid bollocks. He'll be at United cause it's the job he wants, and we'll give him a whiz.
