There were reports that LVG offered to resign honourably yesterday (hence why he was missing during training) BUT the board turn him down!

Beats me. If it's true, the board must be sacked too.

Eh?

Cukur we reached 30 points. 10 more to safety

And the philosophy is back!!

10,000 passes can't get into opposition's penalty area. Opposition 2 passes threatening Utd's penalty.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There would be a replay not extra time

I wouldn't get too excited about South American players & especially Brazillian playing with United.

I did. Looking at how the Dutch destroyed Spain gave me hope & I'll have to admit I jizzed in my pant.

You're right when you said he had only 2 transfer windows (not including the summer when he took over). But woody's negotiation power has to improve because we are paying over the top for the players we've bought. Everyone keeps harping on the £250 million used by LVG. But how much of it were due to pressure from the teams who sold them?

We're slipping away in the league & what better way than to arrest it starting with arch rival Liverpool this weekend.

This is not even a proper computer binary code

Well, at least you can call City fans plastic.

Come on! I'm not going to say EPL is the best league but at the very least it's more competitive than La Liga? EPL has the largest global audience & despite La Liga's effort to attract more audience (shifting matches to prime hours, ie read Asian) it fail to secure a TV right as big as EPL.

That, is the very essence the downfall of English teams when in comes to European tournaments (and their national team).

Well, any decent Utd fan would agree that LVG is a disaster waiting to happen, philosophy or not. BUT, the season is not over yet. Mathdmatically, Utd is still in with a chance to win the league or qualify for next season's UCL. I say mathematically though not realistically. But of coz, Utd has built a stature for themselves so high that merely qualifying for UCL is not gonna be enough. Factually, he did come good in his first season (qualify for UCL, barely). Yes, ADM did play badly under him but as you put it, world class players are suppose to adapt not run away. You gotta admit that his short stay was strewn with uneasiness (suppose to sign for PSG initially, unable to adapt to the English game, fear of harm to his family etc). I sincerely think LVG was only responsible for some of what happened to him. Ultimately, he fail to adapt (Ozil took 2 seasons).

But if you were to ask me, should LVG go? Yes but after this season ends. And, did Utd miss the boat again on Pep? Yes, and if he's successful with City, I seriously think Utd would step into the dark ages like Liverpool & all we could ever talk about is past glories. Is Mourinho the answer? Yes & no. Yes coz Mourinho is a serial winner & no coz he's not gonna stay beyond 3 seasons.

Truth be told, the 70 point barrier won't be applicable this season looking at how crazy the league is. The next 5 league matches should define how it goes. Stoke (H) Chelsea (A), Sunderland (A), Arsenal (H) & Watford (H). If we can get 13/15 points from these, the path will be clearer. But....

No buy in January? Not even a back up defender? Either United's stock has gone down so low nobody wants to come or the board really don't want to authorise anymore purchase under LVG? Days are numbered?

The most WTF would be Alex Texeira, the lad Liverpool tried to sign. If the news is true, I will LOL looking at the headline "Alex rejected Lverpool to play in China"

As I've said previously, we'll have to stick with LVG at least till the end of the season. As evident from the last 2 games, Utd can play in a more aggressive way. Dunno if it's a knee jerk reaction from the Southampton loss or a change of philosophy. We will find out soon enough from the Chelsea & Arsenal games. But if we fail to get positives results from these games, I guess it's fair to say that realistically, the top 4 is out of reach considering leicester's & Spurs' fine form.

And if that happen, what then? Does the board wait until it's mathematically impossible, like Moyes, to sack LVG or he goes then & there after the Arsenal game?

During Moyes reign, it was so depressing because he lost both home & away matches with Liverpool. And I was there at Old Trafford to witness that shamble. The less we talk about Moyes the better.

LVG has won all the game vs Liverpool. That gotta count for something right? Or are some of you forgetting that Liverpool is Utd's public enemy no.1 not Arsenal or Chelsea. I even rate the rivalry with the noisy neighbour a little insignificant.

Speaking of which, oh so they got Pep. So what? City is but a sugar daddy club. I can't wait for the day when the rich sheik decides to pull out.

You're the Depay of this forum. All flash, no substance

Am I missing something here? Why talk like JM has been confirmed as the new manager?

Happy birthday to the worst ever United no.7
