Can't stand Jonny Vaughan either, he thinks he is hilarious.

Just been reported there will be on announcement re the managers position this week.

[Jemal]

That source is like levi roots bbq sauce.

A man with absolutely no experience whatsoever of managing in English football, what a huge gamble.

[alex_front2]

I wonder how much his transfer kitty will be.

AVB
Big Phil Scolari
Juande Ramos

[Crimson Dynamo]

I would imagine Big Sam knocked them back and the big Dutch Beetroot is their fall back

[Cherie]

Jose Mourinho
Sir Alex Ferguson
Arsene Wenger

...

My point being it's Pellegrini's first year in the job and he is not doing too badly :D:.

Add Roberto Maninci to the list if we are doing a list!

Manuel Pellegrini.
Felipe Scolari
Andres Villas Boas

2-1 to me

Did Wenger manage in UK before Arsenal?

Loads of British managers with only EPL experience fail! How many times has Big Sam been sacked! In fact I think all Brit managers should spend time abroad. An ambitions talented British manager could have done what Simeone has at Atletico and learnt a thing or two.

[Brother Leon]

The Three greatest managers the Premier League has seen all had zero experience managing in England. The worry over Van Gaal is the fact he is a loose cannon...not experience of all things FFS :joker:

[Alf]

If you read my post I didn't say he'd fail, I said it's a gamble.

Will be an interesting season, hopefully it can't be any worse than the last one

Not once when its justified though*

A couple of things you should be concerned about if he does get the job.

1) This off season is gonna be vital for you bringing players in, pre season training bringing the confidence back to the players that have evidently lost it. Van Gaal's main priority this off season is managing at the World Cup.

2) When the season gets underway he'll be 63 years old, while short term that's not a major concern, long term it is for the stability of the club. In two years time are you gonna be looking to change the Manager again? which will bring a different philosophy and another overhaul in players.

Club has already been doing deals.

Van Gaal may last a few years. The way management is nowadays pretty much every club changes managers every few years. A hope would be Van Gaal comes in for a few years and then Klopp as his contract could be up around the time Van Gaal may decide to call it a day.

True on point one, but I think he developed a wish list for weeks now (he was waiting for Moyes sacking tbh). He'll let the board pursue the transfers.

Well the first point you make is disturbing, why would you be doing deals with players which may not fit in to the plans of an incoming manager?

You say every club changes managers every few years nowadays, that may be true, but how many clubs nowadays are having continued success year on year, you know the way you did when you had stability? I bet you could count them clubs on one hand.

Happens at numerous top clubs. And if MEN are to be believed, Van Gaal has been informed of planned purchases.

Well, whilst I don't agree with most of Roman's sackings, he's still had success at Chelsea. But yeah, off the top of my head not many top clubs have had success year on year. Although, that's the way things go nowadays really.

Unless the tripe is removed from the team it really doesn't matter who is our manager. Clev Ashley Tony and Fatty all need to be shown the door with Mata Shinji and Adnan being the foundation we build around. As i said in another thread if Fatty ain't willing to be a fat white ji sung and do the dirty work on big away nights he is of no use to us

[Ryan57]

Apparently, the contract is signed and an announcement is imminent.

[joeysteele]

I really like Man Utd but even if this is the new Manager, I fear they have a few x seasons coming up.
There is some bad feeling I think at the club, some players don't pull their weight.
I fear they may have a number of seasons where they struggle to do exceptionally well.

They will always do good and rightly so but that is not enough for Man Utd, especially since the Premier League came into being.
I fear they may have manager after manager for a time and that will increase the instability not help it.

I would guess David Moyes is sad that he left Everton now. He was on a pretty good thing there and without the pressure of always being among the top 4 at the very least.
There is no Alex Ferguson on the horizon for Man Utd anywhere that I can see.

[Ryan57]

Fergie was a one off. The club were ridiculous to think Moyes would come in and do another Fergie, stay for years and be successful.

[Brother Leon]

Total football is here. There isn't a better manager to come for a couple years and lay the foundation for success. Look at Bayern and Barca. They both owe a lot to him even if they parted on bad terms.
