    Only because the press will cry about it. I can't see much wrong with his attitude towards them, and perhaps they'd like to think about how they'll feel if roles were reversed.

    I'm not saying its wrong, but it's pretty self-defeating. Unless he wants the sack that is.

    What's to lose? If the people you work for are going to sack you over a few headlines you're better off gone.

    Man Utd really could take the hit on the season though.

    If that's true what a shambles the board is, well they are even if it's false but still.

    Not many people know he was actually sacked just before the 1998/99 season and replaced by Tony Blair.

    17 league titles won between United, Chelsea and Liverpool in the Premier League era. Have a word.

    How can you know so little about football? Between that and the recent Guardiola question I'm beginning to think you're a female alias trying to get answers to impress a boyfriend or something.

    In other news, ex goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington was scathing about the under-fire Dutchman.

    'His defensive tactics go against everything this club and the people of Manchester stand for,' said Pilkington, 41.

    Van Gaal found backing, though, when his countryman and former United great Raimond van der Gouw, 52, was quoted in Dutch media as saying 'Manchester United are special. As a club, they stand against the immediacy of modern life.'

    Eric Djemba-Djemba was unavailable for comment.

    Probably.

    Although I think that's the first time in twenty years that they've lost 4 in a row, so, hmm...

    Edit: the clever chap knows how to not get sacked:

    Quote Originally Posted by BBC
    "I can also quit by myself, but that is something I discuss with [executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward not you," Van Gaal told the media after the game.
    "It is not always the club that has to fire or sack me."
    He told a news conference: "Sometimes I do that by myself, but I am the one who wants to speak first with the board of Manchester United and my members of staff and my players, not with you."

    Why would you hope for a manager who will continue boring football, just in a different way, when there's a realistic hope of landing somebody like Pep?

    It's not like you support Doncaster.

    If Pep were to come he wouldn't do so until the end of the season, I can't put up with Van Gaal for another 5 months or so.

    I guess we could give it to Giggs for a laugh.

    My dad's concluded that it's Giggs' fault.

    I can't see Van Gaal seeing the New Year in.

    They should hire Mourinho then sack him in the summer and get Guardiola then. Imagine the Mourinho seethe. It'd be brilliant.

    There are two many bad man managers potentially available. Might as well cut his throat now and get someone else in.

    Not that Mourinho will fix all wrongs but his teams have been the top scorers a number of times. It's not the best but it's better.

    Apparently he hasn't bothered turning up for training today. Shame, I had hoped he would at least last until the end of the season.

    It's not a team defunct of talent, it's just poorly managed and unbalanced. The first thing that needs sorting is the footballing direction of the club as there is little rhyme or reason why we sign players.

    It's a challenge for whoever comes in.

    Mourinho would probably back Rooney in a centre forward role, since he likes the centre forward to charge around doing everything, which old Wayne is quite adept at.

    Short of that, Daley Blind would be back in midfield, and Phil Jones can expect an extended spell at right back. 'Memphis' might as well pack his bags now.

    Lvg hasn't won anything relevant in twenty years compared to Mourinho. He's definitely not as risky.

    The last bit is a bit obvious considering we are on the verge of sacking the manager. Of course we look the least likely.

    Replace one negative manager with another, yeah that works.

    Mourinho would get on with Mata. Mata knows the score if he doesn't. I think Man United best get rid of LVG asap as that ship is sinking fasting.

    Quite how that squad of players is playing so shit is beyond me. They are turning into a slightly better version of Newcastle.

    I agree with Jimmy's sentiments about Rooney. Mourinho likes players who work hard etc. Hence why Oscar kept his place and Mata was originally hunted. Depay would be fucked out the door real quick unless he changed.

    He'd be ruthless enough to get rid of the deadwood as well. Quite alot of it is kicking about. Quite how Ashley Young is considered as left wing back is beyond me.

    They need a leader at the back. So a centre half who takes no shit is surely the first signing. They look powerpuff weak. Likewise a midfielder who can win the ball and cover space. Carrick etc look really ineffective.

    Say what you like but I think they let go of Darren Fletcher way too early. Horrible cunt to watch but did his job well.

    Fletcher is past his best. West Brom is his level now, he made the right move.

    The squad needs players not more culling. There is no depth.

    According to this you have about 24 first team players in your squad. That's more than enough to cope with injuries etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.

    I'd state you need a cull and players brought in.

    I think what Man United need to do is sign some better players and play better.
