Did we play any better than MotD highlights suggested?

 

No.


Midtjyland v Manchester United in last 32 of the Europa

amusingly described post draw as "moneyball v moneypit"


meanwhile LVG has gone odds-on next PL boss to go....

Oh my word.

I, for one, will not mourn his departure, but this brings back so many memories of the post-Busby era. Lots of managers survive after being odds-on no doubt.
Hope we've got a plan.
Suspect it will be from the 'Baldrick Book of Cunning Plans'

David Moyes is "waiting for the right opportunity".

Yes, but Wenger hasn't retired yet.

Just been out to dinner with a Stoke season ticket holder who said 'If you had been in outer space for three years and came back and seen Manure's performance and stats this season but didn't know who was managing them you would assume Tony Pulis was in charge'.  Think it is a fair point but i think Pulis would have made a better job of doing what LVG has done with a much smaller budget and has circa 10 years experience of operating at the sharp end of this league and constantly over achieving.

Why can't managers like Pulis get a chance at the top level if clubs as big as Manure are going to play the same way but just with an overseas manager with no previous experience of the league just to consolidate after Fergie?  Pulis is totally unexposed as to what he could actually do with a top 4 Champions league budget as well.  He could easily be a great manager with attacking flair if he had the right budget/players to do so.  Nobody knows until they are given a chance.

Every manure fan in the world would hate pulis i am sure.  The bottom line is you have another one who is foreign with no experience of the league doing exactly the same things as TP would do.

It didn't take much thought to anticipate Moyes would probably fail at Man U

I think LVG will be a hilarious failure if he gets the job. Serial achiever of just below expectation I'd say

I think it is reasonable to describe him like this - it's amazing how much I get right, way ahead of the curve

On Man United, the fading aura, struggles of Van Gaal & Woodward and being caught by Man City on & off the pitch

Is the brand risking damage?

Seriously?

I still can't see him as a Manchester United manager. But given the recent failure rate i would be prepared to be wrong.

If they can hang on to 5th they'll at least be in the Europa thing again. Fingers crossed.
