The Manchester United Thread

[Alcaraz]

I am pretty sure Mourinho will do well at United especially if he gets backed heavily in the transfer market. Will it guarentee big trophies? Would have said yes for sure if Pep was not at City. Either way next season should be absolutely brilliant seeing these two slug it out

Sadly, I can't stay away, been here since like 2010, I feel so old. Probably one of the oldest members now along with you, Tyton, , Sunliv, Vanjagl and the mods.

Just checked my profile, oddly its my 7 year FM Base sign up anniversary in 2 days time.

Was using the site for a good while before signing up though.

Anyway, next season is going to be very interesting with all the managers. Can't wait for the transfer window!

Jeez, if I feel old, you must be like an ancient relic here now mate. (H)

Lawyer from the LMA is at Carrington same one used by Moyes when he was sacked so should be announced LVG is leaving soon

Who will Mourinho's assistant manager be? Please don't say Zlatan as I can't really believe that to be serious!

Rui Faria and Silvino Louro + a coach who knows United well will be part of his assistant crew if he follows the pattern he has always followed

Think I've been a member about 9-11 years. No wonder I'm divorced

Louis van Gaal is at Man Utd's training ground, so is a lawyer. Follow story as it develops: [url]http://skysports.tv/m7hkrd [/URL]

If I remember correctly after this bloke arrived last time it was all done in about an hour and 45 mins. For Moyes to be confirmed as sacked.

Probably someone from the club, he always wants a strong person who knows the club he is at very well. Would like it to be Neville or Joyce

Would love him to get Gary Neville in the setup somehow, I think he is most knowledgeable ex player we could get and could do a lot of good work.

Close to joining as he wants his future resolved before the Euros according

On announcement, Man United not as restricted by NYSE rules as many think. Van Gaal is a manager, and not a director.

​

Therefore his removal, and the appointment of someone else, can business.

Yea, also get Phil to coach the reserve sides.A couple of question marks though.
-The so called Job application supposed to be written by Mourinho to Man united, was it truly written by Jose or was it a farce??
-Any info on how long Zlatan's contract will be if he signs?

 

[razielioux]

'Louis van Gaal has been sacked by Manchester United, according to widespread reports. No official confirmation of this yet, but we are working to verify this. We still understand Jose Mourinho's agent Jorge Mendes will fly in for talks with United on Tuesday. '

He's gone.

 

[Tyton]

Actually sacked, not a mutual consent? What a mess this is.

I'd imagine LVG got proper ****** off about last few days - rightfully so - and wouldn't negotiate so they had no choice but to sack him and pay out a hefty severance to boot.

I understand that the club as a whole didn't get that much experience on how to deal with changing managers, but wow.

 

[Legend Incredible]

Is he....is he sacked yet?

This thing is going into a mess. Nothing else reported than sacked and Mou in. Media is crazy about it. Give the guy a break. Yeah he made a mess in the club, but still won u the FA cup. Feel bad for LVG about the the mess that surrounds him right now.

54 managers sacked this season aswell. It's just embarassing it really is. When coming 4th is far important than winning a big domestic trophy such as the FA Cup it just makes me sad. Along with the treatment of managers wether they are liked by fans or not. Respect in this game is long since dead. But hey-as long as the fans are happy right?

LVG gone. Hoek, Stuivenberg and Reckers also out

 

[Puddz]

So still not confirmed. Just wide spread reporting.

I really hope LVG gets a good leaving package. Its the least he deserves after having to deal with so much **** from the media.
