Topic: Louis Van Gaal was the Manager of Mourinho United

[bigbonedrawky]

So will eL Vee Gee Aloysius Paulus Maria "Louis" van Gaal be going on autocorrect ?

edit Yes it will 

[L666KOP]

Handymen all over Salford licking their lips at the thought of earning a few bob transferring the commode and toilet roll holder to his club car.

[Cantona]

Congratulations to Manchester United for winning the 2014-2015 Premier League title.

Cheers mate. Maybe we'll have an early parade.

[princeoftherocks]

He looks like a cross between greg dyke and roy hodgson.

[No666]

He has his A licence. He doesn't have the Pro Licence he would have needed to be the full time manager though. I suspect that's part of the plan. Van Gaal for a year or two while Giggs completes the course, then he takes over.

That's transparent, isn't it? So how do you sell the 'project' to new recruits? We have a great manager but he may or may not have security short-term and medium-term we've got Giggs. No, we don't have Champions League. Massively inflated wages? Yeah, that's not a problem.

Or a fly past.

I heard the Ticket Tout "Guaranteed" it... I wonder how much Roman bid ?

[Mouth]

United 21 Gerrard 0.

A bit unfair, even playing on his own against you lot he would still score a few.

Penalties?

It certainly won't take much planning.

 



Not sure if it's a victory parade, or the bus got lost and those people are queuing outside primark ?

[Mouth]

Penalties?

Only way you're getting 21 goals against him.

[Cantona]

It certainly won't take much planning.

 

Yours should be massive, you've had 25 years to plan for it!

[L666KOP]

Yours should be massive, you've had 25 years to plan for it!

Start planning yours then.........

[Smudgester]

4 isn't it? With some of that 16 years managing Holland.

Ah yes the 2 Barcelona titles were at the start of that 16 year period not before it.

[Hayer]

Only way you're getting 21 goals against him.

Mouth wins.

[Cantona]

Mouth wins.

Yay Mouth.

[Johnnyboy1973]

Good manager but not worried about them for top four. It'll take a season to learn his ways and him, his players and the league.

[Hayer]

Anyway do think this is a good appointment. They will no doubt be an improvement on last season.

Can easily see them being closer in points difference to Spurs and Everton. In fact wouldn't at all be surprised if they did overtake both of them.

[Brian Blessed]

Yay Mouth.

Time to get the white Vauxhall out for his parade.

[DAYDAY]

United 21 Gerrard 0.

Europa League next season then! Progress.

Could of gone with Djimi Traore to make it more shocking

[Sally]

Won't be as bad as Moyesie as the main difference is that Van Gaal has actually won shiny things recently and actually knows what he's doing, Can't wait for his press conferences next season, From what i've seen and heard i can imagine him throwing the microphone at the reporter and storming out if he gets any "tough" questions, or running onto the pitch to sock the keeper for conceding a goal... either way i hope much hilarity will ensue,

[Hayer]

I prefer this one.

PoP, I posted this in the general United thread over the weekend. Curious to know your thoughts on the matter:

Haven't seen it discussed in here (maybe I just missed it), but I'm curious what effect it'll have on van Gaal having Giggs as his #2. I'm assuming that was a condition hoisted upon him by the United hierarchy and not his ideal coaching set up. It's probably a question for PoP to answer if he's around. Obviously United are looking for some long-term continuity and giving Giggs the chance to work under a top coach and learn his trade, but what are the practical ramifications in the short term before the eventual hand-off takes place? I understand the desire for creating that continuity, but they're also in a very precarious position in the here and now and one would think that if you're hiring a respected coach to dig you out of it you'd hire him under the conditions that have made him successful in the past. The manager's right hand man seems like a pretty important position to hand to someone with whom van Gaal has absolutely no working relationship. I'm not even thinking in terms of Giggs undermining him like has been mooted with Moyes, but more the dynamics of the coaching arrangement. I find the whole thing pretty interesting.

Rooney vs. Van Gaal vs. The Media should be good fun.

I'm going to admit that i will look forward to his pre and post match interviews.

Shreeves will definitely get under his skin at least once.

Not for nothing - but it was brought to my attention in the early days of the Moyes thread that some United fans on some of their forums had a good old laugh at PoP's expense when I pointed out that Moyes' method of training would injure their explosive players more, and would fatigue their quicker players while making their slower, more endurance-based players fitter. Now, along comes Van Gaal saying exactly that same thing, and showing up Moyes' fitness methods to be very antiquated. I wonder what their reaction will be now, haha.

At least they now have a manager who understands the modern way of training the body for football.

[Skeeve]

So if Moyes was the chosen one, what is Van Gaal?

The definitely not Moyes one.

Yep they mocked you for predicting they would finish outside the top four. Oh how they laughed.

They'll have learnt the Redcafe mongs.

[DAYDAY]

Taking on the player who probably caused a player revolt And got the Existing manager sacked
Then making him your assistant Manager

You would have to go for........ The Foolish One

[El Lobo]

Just wait for the first poor run and the campaigns to get Giggsy in start up.

[Hayer]

One thing is with having Van Gaal as manager is that without CL, they should be able to attract some decent players.

[AndyMuller]

I think he will do well to be honest because he is a very very good manager. Wanted them to get somebody a lot worse.

[Zeb]

Throwing 100 grand a week to 18 year olds probably isn't a hindrance either.

Looking forward to seeing how it all fits together for them.
