Possibly on the day of the Bayern match next week. Possibly

Any suggestions for which picture of Klopp people should use?

;)


ETA: This early April Fool was brought to you by Davide Moyes, Manchester United's unofficial partner in motivational speaking and life coaching courses.

Are the glasses included with the masks or will those cost an additional fee?

He'll appeciate that gesture when he takes over in the summer as well.

He is taking over in the summer isn't he? isn't he? :(
Yep. He will be 'the tactician' who will help Moyes to turn things around. The problem is that we want him as assistant manager but Moyes is ready to only offer him a coaching position (below Round, Lumsden and Neville).

Doesn't matter if its done as a dig at Bayern it will look like a dig at Moyes, and I am not in favour of self sabotage at any game, let alone the Champions League Quarter Final.

There's more chance of Brendan Rogers being our next manager than Jurgen Klopp. Its just too obviously a good choice for United to make. We always like to do things the hard way. SAF's succession is no different.

Please, no. The Dortmund love-in is embarrassing enough on the internet... they're our fecking rivals on the European stage.

This would be one of the most cringeworthy things ever done by a set of supporters if it happened.

I have no idea if this is a joke, or actually the work of people who are morbidly stupid.

FFS. Our manager is already the laughing stock in football. Soon our supporters will be too.

Is this the manager who has guided a team to 25 points behind the leaders and is only 5 points above a team we beat 9-2 over 2 games in the Champions League?

And United supporters want him why??

This is...yeah. Nothing should surprise me at this stage. But if these people plan to wear Klopp masks either as a dig at Moyes or - worse - as some kind of "come and save us, plz" statement...well, they deserve a proper bollocking. That is all.

Because he's infinitely better than Moyes and has actually won stuff and has done well in Europe.

To be fair, we are almost that many points below Chelsea who is a far inferior team to Bayern (probably the best team ever based on what they have done in the last two seconds). And this even without counting that BVB' injury record this season would have made United's injury list looks very good.

We can also add some simple facts that he won two Bundesilga titles despite BVB had a revenue lower than half of Bayern's, that when he took them they had a lower revenue than Everton, that he singed Hummels, Subotic, Gundogan, Kagawa and three Polish fellas for less than Moyes signed Fellaini, for playing probably the best brand of football in Europe and for guiding them to an UCL final. All of these while their wage bill ratio to revenue was the lowest in Europe.

But of course, these are very easy tasks and not comparable to keeping the team with the seventh highest wage bill on the league in the eighth position on the table in average.

That would be hilarious. No wait, not hilarious but utterly stupid. Yeah you want Moyes out and replaced with Klopp, it's a nice a dream but Klopp already manages another club and there is no saying whether we could actually get him. All that is going to happen is some people are going to look like utter bellends. Well underneath the masks they will be utter bellends.

In recent seasons he has had great success with Dortmund winning titles and cups. He also got them to the Champions League final last year. This is all whilst operating with a wage bill lower than QPR's and resources vastly inferior to Bayern Munich.

He is charismatic, passionate and has a real fire about him. He gets the very best out of the players that he has and he plays exciting and attacking football.

Unfortunately for him and Dortmund he has seen the Bayern monster take his best players in Gotze and Lewandowski. To lose you best players to your main rivals is a massive blow. Dortmund will only receive E30m for both players combined too. He was also unable to retain another of his best players in Kagawa when United came calling. Dortmund are just not wealthy enough to realistically sustain a place at the top table and that is why the recent drop off has happened.

He is many things that Moyes is not but in the main he is a proven winner.

So you agree Klopp is shit this season but there are valid reasons for it. RVP had a injury free season last year and was the reason we won the title, I assume you will give Moyes the same excuse as Klopp seeing as RVP has had many injuries and been out for many games.

He went by the name of Wayne Rooney
I have seen many people claim this season that they have been embarrassed by United's performances. One can be hurt, yes, but I don't see how one can be embarrassed by the team's performances seeing the fansbase has fcuk all to do with them. Now, if either this or the plane idea comes to fruition, that will be embarrassing! Although, it's a minority, but it is still a group of Manchester United fans who are finding a way to embarrass themselves and the man who is in charge of them. What a brilliant way to attract potential managers! See how we will treat you if you have a bad season with us. Who wouldn't want to join such adoring fans?

He really deserves a big club. Having your nearest rivals nick your best players every summer would take its toll on any club. Imagine if United bought an arsenal player every summer. Wenger would never have won a single trophy.

@BarneyLFC is 100% right.

Every single thing this year about us as been laughable!

Between Moyes, the performances, Wayne Rooney being "the leader" and the "fans' hero" after the shit he's pulled, Evra talking through his arse and not doing it on the pitch, the plane and banner and now Klopp masks.....

A farce!
