"I think the board decided they didn't want to sack another manager unless they really had to, because it was going to give them more problems than it would solve, and they didn't want to develop a reputation for sacking managers so soon after David Moyes had been sacked.


"What they have is every chance of not
qualifying for the Champions League now. The
problem is right back on their toes. Do they fiddle away until the end of the season or take drastic action now and either appoint Jose Mourinho or give it to Ryan Giggs and put people around him to get him through?


"Is he finished? Yes, maybe not today but I
think he's finished in the long term. He will only
have himself to blame. Van Gaal has a bad idea and has been sticking with it for two seasons. That bad idea is that ball rotation and sideways and backwards movement will be successful in Premier League football.



"There's no evidence to suggest that's true, and he seems reluctant to abandon this style of play, this cautious, negative, slow style of play. That's the bit that baffles me, why doesn't he say: 'It's not working, we're going to change it.'"

Where are Coogar's hype men?

Otamendi has been a really big heap of shyte this season and the Otamendi/Mangala partnership is the main reason City have not run away with the title yet.

RVP has not exactly set the Turkish league alight either.

Lacazette has been firing blanks on all cylinders in the French league and Anderson has disappeared from Europe like the fart of a leprous witch cheesy

And Torres? Torres that has scored just.....in fact the less said about Torres the better.

AS MAN UTD TRAINING IS CANCELLED, HOW LONG DOES VAN GAAL HAVE LEFT?

The Red Devils called-off their usual warm-down session in the aftermath of their defeat to Southampton as concerns over the Dutch coach's suitability continue to grow

Manchester United's Carrington training ground was left unusually quiet on Sunday with players and coaches told not to come in for what previously had been a religiously routine post-match warm-down session.

For the first time under manager Louis van Gaal, the day after a match was not spent enduring a 45-90 minute run-out together for the United first team. Van Gaal is a stickler for rules, regularity and repetition. The former Barcelona boss has even called his squad in just hours after they have returned from European trips this season.

So granting Sunday as a day off represents a highly unusual move. Van Gaal's decision to return to the Netherlands for his daughter's birthday will raise eyebrows, coming as it does on the back of United’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday.

A picture doing the rounds of Van Gaal making his way through Manchester airport departures on Sunday afternoon only serves to add to the doubts surrounding his reign as United boss.

Saturday's defeat left the Red Devils five points behind Tottenham in the race for a top-four place. The Dutch boss's win rate of 49 per cent is now the worst of any United manager in the last 30 years. While more than two decades of that time was taken up by the Sir Alex Ferguson era, David Moyes may feel slightly aggrieved that he was not given more time given the stays of execution Van Gaal has survived.

How much longer United will tolerate the results – and even as importantly, the performances – is the overriding question surrounding Old Trafford and Carrington these days. Whether Van Gaal himself will stick to the remaining 17 months on his current contract has also been brought sharply into question in recent weeks.

The result brings about a new low for Van Gaal as his team registered just one shot on target - a speculative 30-yard effort from Daley Blind in the first half - and struggled to create any other goalscoring opportunities of note as the joy of beating rivals Liverpool six days earlier was forgotten. The chorus of boos that greeted Saturday’s performance, the strength of ill-feeling towards the current regime that reached a new nadir on Saturday, will not have been lost on the United board.

Sources at the club have told Goal that the mood among the backroom staff and players was at its lowest ebb after the final whistle, and reports of Jose Mourinho's "love letter" to the Old Trafford hierarchy will have done little to improve the mood with Van Gaal.

Though the former Chelsea boss's representatives deny their client has made contact with the 20-time English champions regarding a possible role in the future, his spectre continues to loom large over the red side of Manchester.

United have also been forced to deny they met with Pep Guardiola in Paris over the past few days, and while the Bayern Munich boss is highly likely to turn up at Manchester City rather than their local rivals, viable alternatives to Van Gaal being on the market only makes his position less secure.

Promoting assistant manager Ryan Giggs was always the plan when Van Gaal first took over the reins in the summer of 2014, but the former star pupil of Ferguson continues to be tainted by his relationship with the current era and whether he would offer anything different.

Former chief executive David Gill, whose own replacement Ed Woodward has hardly covered himself in glory in terms of player recruitment in recent year, has even urged Giggs to look elsewhere for his first management position.

"It is an interesting question and it will be something Ryan will be thinking about and discussing with the powers that be within Manchester United," Gill told BBC Sport on Sunday.

"I don't disagree with the notion that you can't be a number two forever. You have to go out and prove you have what it takes and that you can do it in the firing line.

"There are clearly different traits required to be a number two and be in the hotseat as a number one."

Gill also hit out at United's style of play, claiming he could not "sit here and say it is that attractive", and while Ferguson's swashbuckling teams remain fresh in the memory the detractors are unlikely to go away any time soon.

Van Gaal's style is one thing, but failing to get results with such a philosophy is proving to be the final straw for many United fans, while even the 64-year-old's decision to relax his strict lunch rules this week have failed to improve issues that remain inside the United dressing room.

His time in the Premier League is becoming messier by the week, and there is a feeling the man himself knows it. Arguments with journalists have only added to his issues, and the writing is now on the wall as to whether Van Gaal will be around come the opening day of the 2016-17 campaign.

The underlying belief that United are likely to stick by their man until the end of the campaign and hope the players can arrest their poor form in a bid to qualify for the Champions League weakens by the day.

With the players due back in for training on Monday, all eyes remain fixed on the club and the manager for all the wrong reasons.

"I'm very disappointed that I cannot reach the expectations of the fans,"

"They have - or they had - great expectations of me, and I cannot fulfil them, so I am very frustrated because of that."

"I agree with them (the jeering he received at the final whistle), so it doesn't have any impact (on me)."

"They have also knowledge of football, of entertaining football, and you have to play football to entertain the fans."

"(On Saturday), I don't think we have entertained the fans, so they can be very angry."

"We have also sold a lot of players. I never read that,"

"(on the £250m he spent on the Transfers) You know when Manchester United is coming, we have to pay much more than another club, so that's also an analysis, and it is not rubbish what I am saying."

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:21am On Jan 25, 2016
I have no doubt that Moyes would have by now stabilize our team. Around Christmas 2013 he had closed the gap to very few points even though he was 5th on the log. We were top of our group in Champions league without losing a match. Then injuries hit the team terribly. We went were on the way to Carling cup final if not for DDG last minute goof.

Looking at the way Everton keep sinking since Moyes left, he is not as bad as people think.

Now we are making mistakes Moyes would never have made. Over trimming the team such that we have no quality players to fall back on when we are hit with injuries. We are praying defenders that are not strong and speeding - Blind and Darmian. EPL is a different place from other leagues. May be I will support Mourinho over Guardiola. At least someone who knows the league already has an advantage, particularly when recruiting players.

Why did he fail at Real Sociedad if truly he's a capable Manager?! I can compare Sociedad to Leceister in the Premier League - and we all seeing how Ranieri is performing wonders!

As for Moyes, hmmmm , he will send us to the abyss of Mediocrity!!!.. (he's unfit for united, heck he couldn't even make top 4 or Europa).

Before Moyes took over Everton, they were struggling with delegation season after season. It took just two seasons for Moyes to turn it around and made Everton a team that vies for European place every season. He even qualified Everton for the Champions league. All with small budget.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:20pm On Jan 25, 2016

With Peanut budget, Moyes took Everton from constant relegation battle to a team that finished 4th-7th.

How could such a coach be possibly take Manchester United with huge money to relegation fight? Moyes would have by now stabilize us if he stayed and brought his own kind of players.

Brother, he would have needed more than 2seasons to adjust mentally, physically, tactically to the position of being a MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER meaning we would have still been where we are today with him on board..
