Football games are won and lost on a piece of grass, it doesn't matter what manager comes in.

With Scholes gone there was absolutely no leadership in the middle of the park, no one on the pitch to show a bit of fighting spirit when times got tough, they had to call on a 40 year old to do that job for them.

Unless they bring in World class leaders in the centre of defence and centre midfield then your not improving and your gonna get in to the manager merry go round.

What's the certainty that Van Gaal is gonna be successful? for a start he's never managed in the Premier League which is quite different to any other league with two cups that can involve two legs and replays, fixture pile ups especially over Christmas and the speed and style of play is different to what you get on the continent. Also Van Gaal has won most things in the game, is he still hungry and enthusiastic for whats a huge challenge? or is just gonna come for one last big pay day?

Carlos Queiroz is my tip for the job.


The media are wan*ing themselves into a coma, they got what they want, ammo to feed the baying animals.
