The team you lost against was formed in 1999.

In fairness they have lost to Chelsea in the past and they were formed in 2003.

Lifted this from the Caf

Shows just how amazing SAF was but also shows that he may not be the man many of us want but Jose may be the man we need

Keyser when Jose has had another 598 games and still has the same average, then compare. SAF's record is incredible!

Wtf will it take to get rid of LVG.
Honestly feels like he is untouchable right now. I swear next home game he could drop his pants in front of the Stretford End & start windmilling furiously whilst singing alternate renditions of Blue Moon and You'll never walk alone and still be at the Aon on the Monday like nothing had happened.




...tbf it would at least be more entertaining than the game.

I see your point, but SAF is not available. Jose is.
We need a change before Utd morph into Leeds.
Jose is the only answer.
I'd love to see a dream team of Class of '92 at the helm but it ain't going to happen.

It would be interesting to see the change in Jose's win percentage over the past 5-6 seasons.

Oh for sure, him being there muddies the point somewhat, we need to win stuff again, Jose albeit potentially unpalatable with his antics would at least get us winning, another managerial (and transfers) mistake and we are in real danger of once again knocking Liverpool off their perch but not in a good way this time

Happy for Midtjylland's fans, club, etc. because it clearly means much more to them than our shower of ste.

Someone hold me, tell me it'll be alright. frown
It's going to get a whole lot fking worse before it gets better. Dreadful. Somebody sack the flat nose before he completely destroys us...

LvG's incompetence has been proven beyond all shadow of doubt by now and should be a done deal that he's up the road, with or without Jose coming in. The incompetence now being slowly but surely proven is that of those in a position to make the change.

Acceptance speech when was that? He gave an end of season address and Moyes was long gone. He got a token role from Moyes. And that after Moyes ignored all advice and removed a successful back room team.

So your a long term fan. Fair enough. You don't sound like one.

With Nicky Butt in the position he's just been given, Giggs is still in the frame for the top spot either in the summer or after a couple of years of Mourinho.

You don't exit the likes of Giggs.
I take it back, his was his speech at the start of his first press conference. Very dismissive of Moyes

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/footb...

Sometimes we need to look beyond the rose tinted glasses. I thought your point was that Giggs was loyal and stands npby his manager? You're stating the opposite with the Moyes scenario.

Oh and I remember Giggs first breaking into the team. I remember him being kicked all over the pitch by Notts County in his first season.

He isn't manager material IMO.
Fair enough mate on that we differ. I think he is manager material.

Ryan is loyal to United. His opinions were expressed on Moyes once he'd gone.

When you find yourself questioning the likes of Giggs then you epitomise the angry fan in the stand. Who knows more about United and football? Me? You? Or Giggs?

I'd say Giggs.

The Nevilles, Beckham, Butt and Scholes all defer to him, but fair enough if you know more about the united way.

Long enough? What 4 years? Since the last title?

Right now Giggsy is listening and learning. His remit under Van Gaal is as I said opposition assessment.

You were on the right track criticising Woodward. Giggs was brought up to respect the boss. LVG is his boss. He's not to blame he's following orders.
I think I'm right in saying you were supportive of LVG a few months ago?

If that's right, are you now unsupportive of him?

Out of interest, why?

What's he done that would suggest he would be a good manager? And even if he is surely it would make more sense to find out at Southend or Rotherham or Barnsley rather than the biggest football club in the world?

No question he knows the club. And was a good player. But I'm struggling with the jump to manager. And I can't see how United would want an untested rookie in charge (especially after the last two appointments), no matter if he's done a couple of seasons as coach or not, it's hardly the same thing.

Giggs as manager?! You could not make this stuff up. There is literally no basis for a conclusion that he would be a decent manager, and there is plenty of material to suggest that he would not, e.g. Utd were crap when he was in temporary charge, and he has been the assistant manager throughout this horrendous reduction in quality.

Perhaps not, but becoming Scousers Mk 2 is happening right now.
