This is where I am, but I know the current run of form has got to improve with a quickness or the natives are gonna become even more restless.

I'm so over LvG. He's too stubborn to adapt even though what they're doing is not working at all.

I'm still trying to process yesterday

I want to chalk it up to just an awful run of form that we will play out of.

yup. i guess we can remove ancelotti from the list.

pep has had plenty of problems at bayern, especially constant issues of him vs the medical staff. he has place a lot of blame on them about their injuries is what i've read.

we've had plenty of those as well.

Our style right now would work well in 90s era Serie A. Not so much anywhere else. He's got to evolve or he won't make it much longer. With Klopp at Pool, Mou on the market, and Pep certainly headed to the Prem, keeping LvG seems like falling further behind.

I was explaining to my buddy's gf what our situation was and only way I could think of to relate it to her was Les Miles.

Notoriously good coach who is stubborn and stuck in his ways and the game, to a degree, is passing or has passed them by and many fans (not all) are ready for a change.

Will be an interesting couple of weeks.

Pros - He wins trophies and has said he has always wanted to manage United.

Cons - Style of football does not go with the United way, doesn't give youth a chance and year three usually becomes a shite show.

Because what LvG is putting out there is so beautiful to watch.

I'm pretty sure you care more about this than winning so you can hold it over City fans' heads.

Meh. He won the FA and league cups in his third season at Chelsea (first run) and made it to the UCL semis.

He didn't stay for three seasons at Inter since he left for Real after winning the UCL.

The last two stints he had didn't have great third seasons, but even they had their high points, especially in UCL play.

I'd take the bad with all that good.

no its been the clubs philosophy since the 50's. The fan base wants a manager who will embrace it.

But he favors dominating possession. They just can't do anything with it.

Mourinho doesn't care about possession, and his Chelsea team was second in goals scored last season. Heck, they only have one goal fewer than United this season.

It might not be the most beautiful thing in the world, but it would be an upgrade from what I'm seeing right now.

And this is a new age of transfers, and this is a club that is going to spend nearly as much as anyone else. And I doubt United's youth system will just shrivel up if they got Mourinho.

Has LvG been sacked yet? I'm hoping for an early Christmas present.

If we ARE going to make a change, we better hurry up. Rumors picking up about Jose back to Real Madrid. Just twitter stuff from what I can see so far but from some normally reliable people.

meh frick off

That's not why I say it. I believe and embrace the clubs philosophy like most of the fan base. I could give two shits about City fans opinion of our club.

LvG walks out of his press conference after two questions.

He basically said he was only there not to get fined
