In JM’s two seasons at United, we've finished 24 and 19 points from the top.

Indeed.

Absolute freak that LvG didn't make the CL btw. So much bad luck in one season.

Anyway, we're all happy with where we are now, which is the main thing.

Doubt it. Was hated when top of the league. Now we're 19 points off top but much better off.

I doubt it. He had completely lost the players and a sizeable portion of match going support wanted him out by the Christmas of his second season. He was on his way irrespective imo.

Perhaps. I have stopped paying attention. It has got tedious beyond belief on here to the point where I don't bother reading what formerly decent posters have to say

Van Hooijdonk up front pal. Probably better than any striker outside top six atm.

Though he did go on strike for a significant part of the season IIRC

It seemed ludicrous at the time, but at the end of van gaal’s first season peter Kenyon was reportedly telling people not to be surprised to see van gaal sacked by Christmas such was the enemies he’d made at united. Kenyon, the business partner of mourinho’s agent. It was only going to end one way.
