Have we covered the fact they have 20 senior players, and 4 of them are goalkeepers, and 3 aren't talking to LVG?

The video posted recently with Soriano, a great watch btw, was very telling in his opinion about dictators. It's not the way a modern business should function.
It's just the way that scum of a football club is operated. If you take away a dictator in a regime then there is no longer a dictatorship. That is why the wheels came off when Ferguson left. Moyes is a decent manager but not the type they need. The entire back room staff have departed and 90% of the squad from 2 years ago have gone as well.
That's going to take years to fix and for a dictator like Van Gaal to work, I get the feeling he's 10 times as bad as whiskey nose, he is going to need time, lots of it.
His record is clear though, he never holds a job now because of the attitude and he now has a reputation, so in a year or 2 he will be gone.
But the damage that has occurred now will takes years to repair when he's not around.
They are in a fucking mess and I honestly believe we are seeing the beginning of the end.
I'm so glad I'm alive to see it in all its glory

It's the beginning of AN end, but I doubt it's the beginning of THE end. United are too rich, too influential, too well supported, to fall far from the upper echelons. In fact I doubt they'll have another "Moyes" season for a fair while. Equally I don't see them winning the title until someone behind the scenes either changes the philosophy (that philosophy being "fourth will do") or employs a Director of Football who has a clear, concise plan for how the club will approach the on field side of things.

Van Gaal si 1,000 times worse than Ferguson, as far as his dictatorial style goes. Ferguson wanted things his way, and was ruthless in getting what he wanted. He was a selfish, opinionated, callous man, however there's enough people he worked with/around who say nice things about him for me to believe he had his good qualities. He nurtured youth players, he gained the respect and loyalty of many players. Van Gaal seems to have none of Ferguson's "people skills" and all of his "my opinion is the only one that matters" attitude. Van Gaal will be a (comparative) failure at United. He'll not win the title with them, he'll not be able to build a coherent side, and he'll be gone in 12 to 24 months.
