Louis Van Gaal Sacked

[Luca]

It's paper shite fed from Woodward. He loves opening his mouth.

That'll be it. Ogden and Ladyman don't write conventional "paper shite." They'll have heard it from someone, possibly (probably) Ed himself.

The fact that the two closest journos to the club are towing the exact same line is telling.

[Luca]

Jamie Jackson is reporting it too. They were absolutely briefed by the club. That's the three top journos, all of whom have written essentially the same article.

[Kikó]

I don't think Jamie Jackson has been called a top journo before.

Custis who penned the sun piece will be on the same page. I'd suggest he's gone before Christmas dinner is served.

[Luca]

I always thought he was on the Ogden/Ladyman tier. Maybe I'm thinking of James Ducker (who is also reporting the same two game thing, FWIW).

[Kikó]

Maybe. Danny Taylor is the best football correspondent at the guardian.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't understand it when chairmen say a manager has x number of games to save his job. If you don't want the guy then sack him, if you do then back him up. What is going to change due to a single good or bad result against Stoke?

[niko_cee]

I never knew there was such a detailed hierarchy of ITKdom.

[Kikó]

You didn't know that some journalists will have connections within a club? Come on...

Seems this one is actually holding up and van Gaal is pretty much nailed on to be given the heave ho very soon. He's lost the dressing room.

It's done.

[Reg]

It's paper shite fed from Woodward. He loves opening his mouth.

Not doubting this at all but what's the advantage of doing that?

[Kikó]

He likes to blabber. There is no advantage other than looking like you're doing something. Same as all those "we're signing Bale,Neymar and Ronny!" Stories out straight after the cl defeats.

He's a dribbling Moran.

[phonics]

This is a terrible sitcom

[Jimmy Floyd]

Narcissistic executive Jerry (Jose Mourinho) has his life turned upside down when he is unexpectedly fired. Forced out of his home to move in with mad Uncle Eric (Louis van Gaal), he quickly finds that his house is actually overrun by squatters Teabag (Ashley Young) and Bogbrush (Marouane Fellaini). Things take a turn for the worse when he finds out his better looking brother Bill (Pep Guardiola) has been shagging his daughter (Eva Carneiro) whilst...

Nah, definitely shit.

Down to the Glazers to pull the trigger now.

[Davgooner]

You happy with that?

[Jeet]

If Pep had a choice, no doubt he would pick Arsenal.

Wenger Out!

[niko_cee]

I speculated to a gooner the other day that Wenger would win the league and then step aside to let 'Pep' take charge.

[Jeet]

Something to be announced to the New York stock exchange at 2:30pm

[Kikó]

New hot dog partner.

[Lewis]

The existing hot dog partner should be allowed to bed their recipe in.

[Kikó]

Would like to reply with some kind of play on words with time and thyme but it's beyond me.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The existing hot dog partner should be allowed to bed their recipe in.

Apparently the new one has a recipe more geared towards the lucrative Korean market.

[Lewis]

That doesn't mean the current one should be hounded out.

[Davgooner]

If Pep had a choice, no doubt he would pick Arsenal.

Wenger Out!

Looks like Arsenal have picked him as well.

[Kikó]

Ruff justice for weng.

I'm downloading it now.

[simon]

[Pepe]

That's even more embarrassing than the hot dogs.

[Lewis]

Every one of these releases seems to claim 659 million fans. Why don't they add a couple of million on each time to make it look like such partnerships are worthwhile?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That is fantastic.

[Kikó]

I'd post it as a video if I want forum fick.

[Shindig]

United and Liverpool chewing through managers would be fun until it got boring fast.

[Kikó]

Stormed out of the press conference within 6 minutes http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...inho-talk.html

[Smiffy]

.....

[Kikó]

I feel for him. It's classless and shameful from the board to drag it on. They're cowards.

[Davgooner]

Bring back Kenyon IMO.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Kikó]

Fuck off Dave

[Davgooner]

Calm it. You can give it large in a few years when we're becoming increasingly unhappy at the football Remi Garde's Arsenal are shitting out.

[Kikó]

I've heard "Pep" could be arsenal bound. His wife likes London apparently.

[John Arne]

Seething.

[John Arne]

I think he's spot, by the way.

[Weaver]

Here's the BBC transcript, for those who can't be arsed to watch the video:

Question 1: "Louis, thank you for your time. Arsene Wenger has said today that the speculation over your future is disrespectful. Is that something you agree with?"

Answer: "Erm, has anybody in this room not a feeling to apologise to me? Nobody has that feeling? That's what I'm wondering?"

Question 2: "What have we done wrong?"

Answer: "I think I was already sacked, I have read... I have been sacked. My colleague [replacement] was here already.

"What do you think that happens with my wife or with my kids or with my grandchildren or with the fans of Manchester United or my friends? What do you think? They have called me a lot of times and also Arsene Wenger is saying something about that.

"Do you think that I want to talk with the media now? I'm here only because of the Premier League rules. I have to talk with you. But I can only see when I say something that you use my words in your context.

"I want to say only that I have tried to lift the confidence of my players, I have done everything this week. I hold meetings, evaluation meetings with the players, with my members of staff, I hold a Christmas lunch, I have held a speech and I feel the warmth and support of everybody in Carrington, this Aon training complex.

"But I didn't feel that in the media and, of course, I can imagine that you can write about that subject. We are not in a good position but four weeks ago we were first in the Premier League and in about four weeks we can again be back in that position.

Question 3: "You have been though Louis at big clubs, huge clubs before. This is Manchester United and when results don't go well and when the supporters have turned it is inevitable that speculation will happen. You surely aren't surprised that there is speculation?"

Answer: "No, I don't think that you can do that because you have to stick by the facts and when I get calls from [former manager Sir] Alex Ferguson and [director] David Gill and [executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward because you are creating something that is not good, that is not being the facts and now I have to answer the questions.

"I don't think that I want to do it. I only say now I am focused on Stoke City, I help my players, I wish you a merry Christmas and maybe also a happy new year when I see you. Enjoy the wine and a mince pie. Goodbye."

[SvN]

Fuck them, I don't blame him at all for that press conference.

[Lewis]

Face turn.

[Lee]

He's bang on. Why should he play nice?

[CJay]

He's spot on. Good to get the punch in before you go down, I guess.

[niko_cee]

Look at the state of them when it cuts to that journo talking.

Absolute scum, he should have rock bottomed at least one of them.

Love the way he says mince pie and then there's a little 'oooooh'.
