S-Platt Posted February 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2016 Steve McLaren won the league in Holland with Twente so hardly an achievement!! Mourinho would get more out this Utd team than Van Gaal but both play not to lose first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning the league with Twente was pretty impressive, no matter what else you think of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted February 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2016 I am not denying it was impressive as was winning the League Cup with Boro and taking them to a UEFA Cup Final. I am talking about the here and now as I see it Mourinho would be a better bet than Van Gaal for Utd. i hope whoever is in charge fails miserably though as I want them failing like Liverpool every year!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 this could be a big win for LVG if they can hold out, maybe he is starting to turn it around with his philosophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted February 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 7, 2016 And where you are based that would be double delight I can imagine Hanoi! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 When LVG is sacked, I'd like to see them give Giggs a shot at the job. But they probably won't...Mourinho or Pep will get the job, and the fans will still be unhappy with negative football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Utd fans wanting LVG gone because of negative football and then shouting for Jose is brilliant Jose vs pep will get boring very quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Just watched Life of Ryan on Netflix. Interesting viewing...Giggs is a likable guy, a bit of a head in the clouds type character that I can't help but root for as a manager. I think he might be a bit of a soft touch though as a manager of top pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Guardiola would always choose City over United, more money and less of a challenge so was right down his alley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
