Man Utd Thread:

Gullitt is about as much in the know as I am... But ultimately LVG is a dead man walking it seems to be a matter of when and how rather than if he's gonna go. The big problem is what happens then? Pep seems to be promised to another, there is significant opposition to Jose within the hierarchy at OT so do they take another huge punt on Giggs?? If not who else?

Why Giggs? What's the attraction to him as a manager? I mean what's the source of optimism? In the end I suppose the best solution is to look inwards. As nobody knows the club better than former players. But who does that anymore?

Real Madrid, since Zidane is now the manager.

I don't think you want to be following the Madrid template

For some ridiculous reasons fans are obsessed with having a manager who has some sort of affiliation with their club, considering our best 2 managers are Sir Matt who played for Liverpool & City and Fergie who made his name at Rangers; I find the whole idea of Giggs even been mentioned as comical. Giggs needs to leave OT and make his name elsewhere.

ill be very surprised if LVG is still manager by the end of the week.

From what ive read the only thing keeping him as manager is the incompetent board who cant decide who the next manager should be.

Dont think much blame can be laid at the Board for this one, the cry after Moyes from the fans was for an experienced European manager and with his CV LVG was among the top candidates available at that time.

Also the club obviously dont want to get into a cycle of investment and then change when it isnt working, everyone knows that LVG is a sitting duck now and if he doesnt go before the end of the season he will go in the summer. But who is out there to realistically replace him and guarantee the type of football that the fans are demanding?

Pep looks like a done deal to City.
Maureen plays the same type of negative stuff as LVG

After those two isn't everyone a gamble in some respect or another?

A big problem is Woodward knows nothing about football but the Glazers according to reports hang on his every word and as LVG is Woodwards choice he's reluctant to sack him because he might lose some of his credibility with the Glazers. The owners aren't bothered what style of football we play, that won't be the reason Mourinho won't get the job. Mourinho's teams are not as bad to watch as what we've had to put up with the last 18 months.

LVG was only going to be here for 3 years so the board should surely have been planning his replacement, it looks like Pep was never under serious consideration otherwise they'd have moved on him along time ago because they were well aware City have been in talks for years with his representatives.

My first choice was always Klopp, I wonder will he live to regret taking the Liverpool job;  Given the squad he's inherited and he doesn't have the same resources he'd have have at United to get it right. If Klopp was still out of a job I'd have expected United to offer him the job.

Well Klopp is a non runner now he will be tied in for a good while at Liverpool regardless of resources or squads. He would have been the ideal choice IMO as well but that's another candidate gone.

So who are the board going to be looking at now, not that many top class managers that fill the style and the type of character that the club would be looking for.

[stew]

They might fire LVG and give Giggs the temporary role, if he gets them a top four finish they might keep him, at least they would go out swinging, playing attacking football, stretching teams and give the fans something to enjoy for a change.

Ah that old chestnut. He's not coming to us because we didn't want him anyway.
Have you considered the possibility he may have been approached and he turned United down? You know,the way Klopp did.

Sure Klopp is doing wonders at Liverpool....Utd should pull out all stops to get him

Yeah Klopp has had long enough, they should sack him

i have read that Woodward has rejected a third request for resignation from LVG, i still think something will happen this week.

Imagine if Woodward was in charge of making decisions on players in Kerry or Dublin. It would be laughable.
