I'm enjoying this

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.

Quite. The idea that United will disappear is fanciful in the extreme. They will always be a rival. Make the most of their current discomfort - it won't last forever.
