No-one was getting evidence before now, it's just been so obvious for more than 2 months.
Anyway winning the cup and getting rid of LVG in the same weekend
People think BBC will post a story on their website as done or make it their headline news without confirming from the club are stupid. This is BBC they dont want to be played by agents. They never publish stories until they are done.Surely the BBC wouldn't unquestionably state that he's going to be the next manager if it was just Mendes that told them, though? I think they had to have heard something from the club.
See now that I find poorly handled by the clubSeems like the media got wind of his sacking before he did. Same happened with Moyes too.
I think him coming out saying he wanted to stay multiple times in the last few weeks would have made the retirement thing a hard thing to sell.I guess Monday would have been fine. Who knows, the man probably would have announced retirement. Now it is essentially a sacking.
Not entirely serious, relax.Ignorance on full show.
You're right, no announcing. But the source has let it be known somehow and I'm thinking it surely can't be United. Within ONE HOUR of winning a trophy. Would have to be an insider with a grudge against Van Gaal or something. Otherwise it looks something like what Celtic did last week announcing Brendan Rogers as boss on the eve of Rangers Cup Final appearance, trying to subtract headlines from their rivals. Very small time if so, and that's why I'm assuming its someone on Mourinho's team, though not necessarily the man himself.Who exactly has announced anything?
Other media are saying Van Gaal.Seems like the media got wind of his sacking before he did. Same happened with Moyes too.
Definitely, but business is business. Woodward is 100% aware of LvG's history and knows that he is a volatile man - so if all that is true maybe he didn't want to jeopardize the preparation for the final?See now that I find poorly handled by the club
Either you support the man or you don't but fake support is a bit classless.
If woodward really said to his face, I think you are doing a mighty fine job, carry on like you are doing, than that is pretty bad. I hoped he always knew he had to step up big time or risk getting the sack if he didn't. If he really tought everything was fine and then gets the sack after winning the Fa cup, than I do feel sorry for him and makes woody an ass.
I'm not say he did a good job at all, he didn't. Let's get that clear, I think this is absolutely the correct decision. I just think, the reaction of some is over the top is all. I'm not advocating applauding him off into the sunset, as I don't think failure should be rewarded. It didn't work out for him, he's not a shit manager. He obviously will have wanted this to work out too, even it was for his own ego. The way some carry on, you'd swear he was out to ruin the place intentionally.Why not ?
I mean he will have earned more money doing this job than any of us will ever own in our entire lives. His job is to let the team play good football and win titles in the process, part of the job is also to deal with the reaction that comes from disappointed fans and the media if that doesn't work out.
I mean it must be the most easy job on the planet if there is no consequences of failure. He gets 2 years, gets paid a fortune, does a lowsy job and than the fans and the media should still sing his praise ? This is sport, if you don't achieve then you should not expect applause and you always risk getting the sack. He is more than experienced enough to know this. He had good times at other clubs where he won major titles and the fans sang his praise, his ego has been boosted plenty in his career, this is the other side of the job if you don't realise the expectations which weren't unrealistic at all.

It is bottled up frustration and the way the club was carrying on delaying the envitable made it worse. I do think the faillure is larger than just LVG, it almost always is but he is the face of this faillure and gets the full load from the media and the fans, I also think that is part of his job and why he is so well compensated for it.I'm not say he did a good job at all, he didn't. Let's get that clear, I think this is absolutely the correct decision. I just think, the reaction of some is over the top is all.

Go get some exclusivesHah. I'm on that train.
Meh, he's part of that entertainment business, so his sacking and the fan's digs are just another part of the pantomime IMO. That's the way he should look at it.He's a human. Some of us aren't petulant cnuts. It's a form of entertainment for us, for him it's his life, career and dignity.
I'd rather he was allowed to leave without embarrassing him. He tried his best, it didn't work. It doesn't make him pond scum worthy of the same words and treatment rapist and murderers get.
Have a bit of humility.
You are right.I think him coming out saying he wanted to stay multiple times in the last few weeks would have made the retirement thing a hard thing to sell.
The one thing I would have changed is getting an official announcement and not a leak. Maybe even from him. But what's done is done .
Report for the Daily Cafe.Hah. I'm on that train.
Why would they take a train and not fly? Let's ask the important questions.Tweet

That's a good point.I think him coming out saying he wanted to stay multiple times in the last few weeks would have made the retirement thing a hard thing to sell.
My fears exactly.
I saw Mourinho stare at a car door for one minute.Go get some exclusives
Why?My fears exactly.
Had Guardiola and Mourinho been available, I wouldn't have looked twice at Mourinho.
Clutch them straws mate.The ' it's over' comments could be interpreted however you like. I think van gaal is purposefully avoiding the media because of the way they have been this season. He's could have meant that the FA Cup is over and that he doesn't want to discuss it with reporters, especially whilst they are speculating about his job again.
Overall, it would be train would be quicker and a lot easier.Why would they take a train and not fly? Let's ask the important questions.
you have a duty to walk around their carriage doing this-Hah. I'm on that train.
Spot on.If that's what he actually said then that's that isn't it?
We won the FA Cup and got Mourinho. I do think we will look back on the LVG period fondly in the future, through all the frustration and bollocks LVG was often humorous and crazy, he also got rid of the post-SAF trophy monkey on our back and did it by playing talented youngsters who will form a solid foundation for the coming years. Thanks for the Cup, Louis.
If have been more worried about Guardiola coming personally. He's never really managed in a league as competitive as ours. He's never had to cope without a team of superstars playing for him and he's just got no experience in the PL. Not to mention his apparent hatred for staying anywhere long.My fears exactly.
