" Van Gaal said last night that he would be happy with a top-three finish this season".


If pellers,or any other City manager ever said that 4 games into a season,as a fan,I'd be fucking fuming.
 
This is concerning, they might wise up at old Trafford that the philosophy is the biggest scam since prince ntengie of Ghana emailed me because a long lost relative left me 6 million quid in a will.

Pray for a rag win in their 4th place cup final, might paper over the cracks for a few more months.

If they do then, hopefully, they turn to Bryan Giggs, manager in waiting. He's got the sum total of 4 games managerial experience, and he lost at home to Sunderland in one of those!

Why would the family man want the job though? He's got all the perks now with none of the responsibility.
 
I really hope they give it to Giggs. He'll be so far out of his depth it will be even funnier than when Moyes got it.

Beats me but you can be sure the Pisscan is pulling the strings for a "Class of 92" takeover where a new dynasty will be born.
They've tried "Fergie-Lite" and the foreign tactical genius and failed miserably so nothing else for it but to take it back in house and bring back the "United Way".
It's just like the early 70's all over again and we all know how that ended.

That brief snapshot of him doing the team talk at HT which was on TV tells you all you need to know about how successful his managerial career will be.
To say he was like a wet blanket wouldn't begin to do it justice.
Suffice to say, I hope he gets it on a full time basis, after TT has done his damage of course.

But that's them, not us. There are two teams that are far better than them (us & Chelsea) and one that is materially better than them. That means finishing top three represents either an over-achievement or one of the other three slipping up. I'm sure they'd be happy with that.
 
Looking forward to twenty years of dipper style 'boot room' management from the class off '92 at the swamp. Hoping the turtle gets at least another couple of transfer windows just for shits and giggles first though.
 
Better that they stick by Van Gaal until money gets tight (and it eventually will). The last thing anybody wants is them hiring and firing like we used to do, but stumbling on a good manager.
Let them decline in stealth mode, so that by the time they realise it's not a blip, it's too late for them to recover.

I agree mate,but saying things like that can't be doing anyone's confidence any good can it?
He may of well said "yes I've spent a quarter of a billion,but unfortunately,they ain't good enough to be champions".

Yes but if they start hiring and firing there's a good chance they'll sack that good manager before he can have any positive effect on the team.
 
The Spaniards are doing a great job at United, loathe Turtle.

Might be worth a cheeky punt on Ancelotti before the season is out.

Slur Alex is a big fan.

Christ I hope not, Ancelotti is the kind of manager who could start to turn things around at Old Trafford, he's got a proven track record, he's seemingly liked by past players, and his brand of football isn't completely nonsensical!
 
The demands of modern football management are such that it requires someone of very high intelligence to excel in the job. Giggs is far too thick to succeed in the role. It really is as simple as that.

All the shagging around he managed to do for years he got away with until he got rumbled shows transferable skills of being sneaky, calculated and arse hole like. Ticks all the boxes to be in the hot seat at the shit hole.

He's available and I think we will see Klopp go to Bayern and Pep to us.

There is too much of a Spanish/Latin separation in the dressing-room as it is, so can't Simeone coming or wanting to.

I agree, Ancelotti has proven he could galvanise a dressing room at Madrid after Jose's antics.

I just think with his Prem experience and Champs record, he would be the level they can get at present.

Pep and Klopp want bigger and ready-made platforms.

Giggs would be the dream. Knows the square-root of fuck all about football tactics.
