United Thread 2014/15 (continued)

[Damocles]

Would United dare sack Van Gaal now and get Klopp. Apparently Klopp turned them down last summer and was their #1 target. But Van Gaal has met his targets and United's bullsh*t "United Way" propaganda took a hit last year when they ruthlessly sacked Moyes.

Van Gaal is a moron and the football equivalent of an active grenade. Watching everything blow up around him is part of the fun and I'd be disappointed if they robbed me of that opportunity by sacking him early.

Tick tock. Starting to show his usual early signs by acting unprofessionally at the end of his first season which he has form for.

Next year everybody will start falling out with him and he'll outcast some of their most important players over a stupid reason.

Year after he'll be gone and will blame the United players for never buying into his philosophy and say how the United footballing structure from the Class of 92 held him back.

Mats Hummels turns down move to Manchester United, say Borussia Dortmund <a class="postlink" href="http://gu.com/p/494qt/stw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://gu.com/p/494qt/stw</a> (Pic: AFP)

Mats Hummels has turned down a move to Manchester United, according to the Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc.

The 26-year-old had been pondering a move to England after six seasons (seven if you include a spell on loan from Bayern Munich) at Dortmund but Zorc told German magazine Kicker that the defender had decided to stay.

“It was legitimate that Mats thought about his future,” Zorc said. “But I have told him that we are planning with him for the future.”

Dortmund have held talks with Hummels and the player’s adviser and father, Hermann and Zorc added that there was now a “clear consensus” between the club and the player.

Hummels has two years left on his contract and the news will be a huge relief to Dortmund, who have had a tumultuous season, culminating in the news that Jürgen Klopp will leave the club at the end of the season.

I am lovin how they've tried to get some of these taken down with 'copyright claims'.
1. It shows how embarrassed they really are about it.
2. More resource wasted and another piece of the empire dismantled. Once things go viral you've got a helluva job on your hands.
3. It shows they don't understand how the modern, post-dicktatorship world works.
4. It shines a light on some of the control-freak tendencies which kept them on top via whatever nefarious means they could devise for so long. The more people see them for what they really are the better.
5. They have form for this. Family man's stupid injunction, closing down the Twitter accounts of their players at the height of the Glazer protests. In the words of author Martin Thomas (book: 'Loose', p114),"the reaction of a corporate communications team desperate to control the news agenda...not the cleverest of moves." Looks like they're still failing and never learning. Good. Long live transparency!

Hic. Possibly a bigger pisscan than Taggart, wonder if he took his shoe off to sort the missus out when he got home?

So basically he's saying If they would've won more games they'd have finished higher.

Noble prize for TT

When you start a season with matches and you are a manager of that club…and you play at home.

I am also a human being.

I have the experience with other clubs, when you have that result it is normal. We always try to score more goals and play in the same way.

Thanks to that we could continue – not only me, my staff but especially the players because it is not so easy when you are playing in a great club that you have matches and points and a new manager, who demands we always play in the same way.

I repeat, I am also a human being.

It’s very difficult and with all the injuries of the first part of the season and then we continue with a spirit in the team to play always in the same way and that’s the credit of this team, the spirit.

We had to believe the players but also the staff that we could end second.

Count the numbers of points we could have won. But when you see that we have points and Chelsea have points and we could have been champions. We are very close!

I have a dream.

I repeat, again, I am also a human being.

Don't believe him.
He reminds me of something from men in black......quite apt really....gimps.
I keep waiting for him to unravel that absurd head of his to unveil some kind of two legged hissing reptile.
Absolute comedy gold.

I've just seen that speech and "moron" was the word that sprung to mind for me, too.

The first two qualities you want in your manager are intelligence and good judgement, and he shows a spectacular lack of both in that arseclenching display. I have no doubts now that you are right: he will fail spectacularly in that job. Can't wait.

Surely he's lost the dressing room with this, it's ok being a bit off the wall but this fellas fucking pots for pans. It's like one flew over the cuckoos nest, I was waiting for a red indian to suffocate him with a pillow.

To think those feckers in the media criticised Garry Cook for some of speeches.
