There would genuinely be a revolt if LvG sees out the rest of his contract. You can forgive the board for giving him a second year after a **** first one but you cannot let this season be seen as acceptable. The only thing you can say about LvG is that he is a jammy SOAB.

Every time we have looked like falling away from the top 4 the teams above us go on a run of bad results.

We play against the teams above us and they don't turn up and we nick a win.

The undroppable Rooney gets injured just in time to help us scrape past some poor opposition and keep top 4 hopes alive.

He sells far too many players and goes into the league with a very thin squad. Martial, Rashford, Lingard, Fosuh mensah, Pereira and co. all put in great/amazing performances at key points.

No one expected Martial to do as well as he has. Rashford has been a revelation as well and he was nowhere at the start of the season. Lingard has been very good at times and better than the other options in his position and the rest have all done well when asked to fill in.

The man is a massive chancer and its only through luck that we have cobbled together something that is passable as a seasons football. If Moyes wasn't the benchmark and the board didn't have any ambition beyond top 4 in the PL he would have been sacked before the new year.
 
If he gets top 4 why sack him?

careful what you wish for us what u lot say about wenger.

Sorry but LVG MUST stay if he gets top 4.

Because we don't want to become arsenal celebrating almost every season when we get 4th place.

Thats because Wenger plays entertaining football and does pretty well every season. We went from a title winning side to scraping 4th/missing it when we sacked Fergie. If you fall that far you will be nearer mid-table than CL.

No he mustn't. He should be challenging for the title, doing well in the CL and actually entertaining the fans with the amount he has spent. He hasn't come close to doing any of these things.

His own ****lessness has meant that he had no choice but to rely on them. He didn't start the league using youth players, his hand was forced. He still plays Fellaini when he is fit instead of much better youth players. The plaudits for giving youth a chance are complete BS.

Thats the one thing I dont agree with - he didnt sell too many, the quality just wasnt there in the replacements (or the experience), ie Rojo and Memphis. Schweinsteiger could be added here because it was the right move but probably a few years too late.

If anything there were a few too many **** players to get rid of in one summer (Jones, Fellaini at the very least still to get rid of), you can debate about Welbeck (still missing open goals with Arsenal), and Chicharito (doing brilliantly in a different level / style of league) I think Utd just didnt work hard enough this time last year / early summer to try and get replacements organised - possibly sat back and relied too much on Memphis blitzing the league when he has been pretty non-existant (a level too far at least currently)
 
To be honest, considering Memphis, Schweinseiger have made their senior debut's this season with Manchester United, you cannot be too harsh on them, right?

No, how many more seasons do we have to put up with him? Oh just one more season, he'll achieve what he wants, then comes the end of the season and we are left with **** all again.

A huge money fund and he won't spend a penny in the areas that need it, he'll buy some nobody that makes little difference.

Innit
 
Waiting for Mourinho. No matter what LvG does now, he's well and truly blown it.

Any direction is better, as long as it's not Giggs. :o
