Van Gaal is a clown

Let's all calm down. United won today and guess who scored the winning goal? A player he subbed in. Usually when that happens the manager takes applauses, not insults.

He's a manager that experiments a lot, United knew it when they appointed him, sometimes they pay off, other times they don't and it's not right to say his experiments failed, where were you when United had a winning streak with the 3-5-2? And it's too early to tell that the ADM-Rooney's experiment is bad as Rooney has been great in midfield and ADM has just returned from injury and is new at his role. And it's not like you see goals from every corner, plus Jones is very new at taking them. Give him time, let him take as much corners as possible and the assists will come.

It's not like United is ready to fight for the title yet, 3rd/4th place after few months is what was expected from United.

LvGKB, give him all the money he needs to fix the ashes left by that nuclear disaster named Moyes.

we're still in january , let the man do his job ffs .

and it's not like this Man u team deserves higher than third or fourth place anyway .

+1

If letting Phil Jones take a corner and playing ADM as a striker while Rooney plays in midfield all while playing extremely boring football is how LvG is going to go forward, then I honestly think myself being a nobody could likely do better. Or many people here for that matter.

I hate the sentiment that people back home can't criticize their manager because they don't have the same experience or knowledge or whatever. LvG is clearly being an idiot in more ways than one, so I reserve the right to call him an idiot.

His reputation is hilarious though for someone who has won 1 major title since 1999. There were discussions on Redcafe whether he is the best foreign manager of all time in the summer before he even coached 1 game. "Mourinho's mentor", "the mastermind behind prime Barca and prime Bayern", "DAT goalkeeper substitution in the WC."

His next step will be replacing De Gea with Valdes. He's always had his weird goalkeeper choices. This is the man who wanted Thomas Kraft ahead of Neuer, gave Barca 10+ years of Valdes brainfarts and made Cillessen his #1 for Netherlands although he's bang average at everything bar distribution. Embrace it, United fans.

1) That was all presumptions that turned out to be wrong.

2) We are seeing with our bare own eyes that his system and tactics isn't working. Big difference.

3) I don't care whether we are deserving to be 3rd or 4th. The fact of the matter is, we are playing some of the dullest football in the league, handicapped by a formation the players are not suited to play in.

Any manager would have been heralded after Moyes tbh, such was our desperation after suffering 10 months of that loser. And tbf, LVG did warrant some respect.

Many on there are slowly turning now, which is no surprise. It's been coming, results masked it and postponed things.

add to that, the same man who said something to riquelme even before he start playing his first game for barca,
"You aren’t my player, I don’t need you here – find yourself a team to go to on loan"

the source: http://blog.paddypower.com/2014/05/09/graham-hunter-what-manchester-united-fans-should-know-about-louis-van-gaal-the-potential-fireworks-with-wayne-rooney-and-the-class-of-2014/

This is the same man that used Rivaldo as a left winger and decided for a couple games the rather slow Riquelme was well suited for the wing.

Whilst I agree with Farfan that he is way above my pay grade in football, the guy is still does ridiculous things and there is no harm or shame in pointing it out.

Can't beat Cambridge

Oxford>>>>>>

You have to commend Real for getting £60m for Di Maria. That's one hell of a price for another Nani, even PSG weren't that stupid.

Why Cambridge want replay: MUFC have avg match income of £3.86m. Cambridge would get 45% (£1.7m). From ONE game. Their annual income: £1.6m.

Good guy van Gaal

So basically, the key to riches is to take over some broke, cheap as hell nothing team for about £5 and get yourself a cup tie with a Premier league team. Get the match income, take it for yourself and bail?


Brb

You may be onto something here. Goal Legacy should buy a league 2 team and hope to face either United / Liverpool. They're our best chance for our riches.

I'm in

We'll limit it to let's say 5 people because I'd rather not split the 1M cash between 20

What do you think of AFC Wimbledon or Portsmouth?

Portsmouth have a decent fanbase tbh but i'm not sure we could so much as take a piss in the dark without some form of debt collector throwing paperwork at us. Could work if we get in, bleed the club dry before people even know who we are and go home.

Yeah, Wimbledon would be a better choice. They have Akinfenwa after all. We could sell him to Liverpool for 5m.

Wimbledon too might have re-sale value as they have a decent stadium. (12k capacity for a league 2 side?!)

Shiiiiiiiit you're right

As soon as we get a good few mill from a cup run, we do a fire sale in the next transfer window, pretend we're investing in youth to not get investigated for raping the clubs resources I.E spend £250,000 on random kids and £100,000 on a crap youth setup, talk about how this is the key to long term success, then we take the money and run.

This is ridiculous. 0-0 against a team not much better then mine

Tbh you could apply that to either team at the moment

Spoiler:

Cost of Cambridge United's XI in transfer fees: £0.
Cost of Man United's XI in transfer fees: £180m.
