Wow, S2C TBR resorting to snide attacks while I'm outside the country on urgent top boy business :shakehead:

tbf, it was very much "ON" when this courageous thread was posted. Seven wins in a row iirc. Great days.

Need to give lvg more time. Yes we are shit but we cannot keep giving managers 7 months and £#%&! them off.

Yep, pretty much. Even if he doesn't make CL this year I don't believe he should be sacked, and hopefully the board will be of the same opinion too.

This.

My greatest concern is our recruitment policy, further wholesale changes are required, at least 5 or 6 changes, and our recent transfer history is £#%&!ing awful, they have to get the signings this summer absolutely right. Honestly don't get the impression there was any forethought or planning behind the bulk of our signings in the last 4 years, which is understandable to some degree with new managers, not knowing the existing squad, not having time to target and plan etc. I'm clinging to the hope that there is some serious work being done behind the scenes to identify players that can come in and be the bedrock of the next decade, as atm I honestly wouldn't be surprised if every player currently at the club was ditched in the next 2-3 seasons, and that is not United like or conducive to success

We'll make top four (just), bring in four or five more players in the summer & win the League next season. No danger.

Just need to tough it out till May.

According to the brains trust on here, that's exactly what we should do.

Apparently there's a conveyor belt of world class managers who are available at short notice, who's team's all play wonderful attacking football and within 7 months would sorted the entire mess of a squad out and have us back on track, no problems.

Not sure how Sparky & I have ended up as massive Gaylords btw. Sam1968 must be turning in his virtual grave

According to your £#%&!ing brains trust big Louis was going to swagger in like Vince McMahon, ship out the dead wood and with no European football have us top 3 without even trying.

Instead we've huffed and puffed unconvincingly to 4th while our chief competition fell over their own feet and now we're still playing like a bunch of #@&%!s trying to £#%&! a door#@&%!, while that toothy belm that we all take the piss out of down the East Lancs sorts his problems out and they hit form, Koeman sorts out a team that sold 100million quids worth of players into a more coherent unit in a month than we look even now and Arsenal quietly go above us without Ramsey or Wilshere being fit which has been their signal to settle for what they have the last 3 years.

It was the Moyes hangover, the injuries, the squads shit and now apparently we have to believe that the signings weren't Louis signing's, Edward Woowar just pulled them out of his arse and Louis just went along to get along, like he's famous for, if you ask someone to describe Louis Van Gaal in two words they always say "yes man"..

I don't think sacking him at this point would achieve very much but I'm tired of reading that any criticism is bedwetting that only a stupid @#%&! would entertain. We're about 5 points better off than we were last year at this stage, despite playing far less football. The only real difference is we draw rather than lose.

I said we are shit.

We have added pieces to fix the team but the core is still broken. lvg had a short summer after the world cup and it took time to see all of the 80 players we have

Sometime it just takes one player to come in and change our direction.

This. We are a work in progress. We will comfortably finish in the top four this season, which is what I expected us to do at the start.

Have you seen the fixtures coming up, pol?

If we do manage it, LvG will deserve his balls back nqat.

Was tempted to bttt this thread a couple of times but thought better of it given I really can't take any enjoyment from United losing/ embarrassing bunks (a top man) and then big mike rolls in

Would be a huge backwards step if the board bins lvg if he finishes outside the top 4 and I can't see it happening. I still think we're making progress - thought we played well for a large part of yesterday and 2nd half against Preston. But there hasn't really been any good full match performances this season - hence why the op was so....ambitious.

Still think lvg is getting lots of things wrong and we will need an excellent summer in the transfer market. Last summer was clearly a partial abomination.

It will get much better/come good next season - something I think I said at the start of this season.

It's on 2015/16

Diplomatically put

I'm personally getting nostalgic and embracing our current form like a long lost overcoat from the new romantic depths of the 1980's. Marvellous. Nothing like an extended period of misery which is good for the soul after way too long strutting about the gaff as top dawgs. Drink it in, gargle it, gag on it's poisonous tang and suffer. Feel the pain infuse into every part of your very being, deep into your bones. For these are the days of toil, the hard yards, the solitary confinement of Rule 43, the cruel jibes of a nation borne with fortitude and in the full and inevitable knowledge that judgement day will come and thou WILL smite thine enemy with the force of a thousand armies and that day in May 2016 (FFS) is very much ON.

That could of been written by a scouser in the early 90's...... they are still waiting....

We're not going to spend another 26 year spell in the wilderness - football has changed too much since those days for that.
