    Van Gaal looks like an alien, and his methods have become weirder with age

    I recall him being pretty good when he won the UCL with Ajax.

    Roman had it in him the first time. This time, he waited as long as he felt he could, consulted with the board, had his technical director speak with the players and I guess realized a change had to be made before things got any worse on the pitch and in the dressing room.

    You didn't watch his Barca teams or Bayern teams? He did well with both(probably not as well as our Bayern and Barca brothers on here wanted but he won league titles). He also did relatively well with Holland in his 2nd stint in charge.

    It's just time for him to go and time for Ryan Giggs and Mourinho's agents to battle for their clients to get the United managerial job.

    Bayern will announce the Pep decision today, German ZDF saying he's already agreed to coach Man City next season.

    I won't shed a tear for this guy. I hope we will do well the rest of the season with him, but I will never particularly like him.

    Good luck with Ancelotti.. Obviously different style of play way more defensive.

    I'm biased as he's the reason I started following Barcelona in the 90s so I will always root for him... Cheers Pep.

    Time to learn german, Carlo. We've had our experience with older italian gentleman not speaking our language. Hope he keeps Gerland in his staff.

    Pep is a great coach. But I guess we have to be happy that Hoeneß was 'distracted', otherwise this infighthing about the injuries might have had escalated. Too bad Guardiola is going to England.

    0-3 now.

    LOL @ Liverfools

    The team does not have the creative players to break down a tightly packed defense.

    Time to spend on some.

    Klopp is overrated, by the way. I don't like him. Tries to be all nice, but when things aren't going to well, you can see another real part of his character.

    I don't follow German football, but I thought Klopp won 2 back-to-back titles in the league. He also did well from my knowledge after losing star players on a consistent basis. In what way is he overrated?

    He's just such an incredible *******. He and Morihno have to be 2 of the biggest jackasses in football.

    So Pep to City a done deal?

    Shame. United is left picking the scraps and I don't want Mourinho's bus parking approach at Old Trafford. But then again, I don't want to see LVG's ??? style approach either. Dark times ahead.

    Then Giggsy it is. I guess it will be an adventure and we will see if the managerial thing is for him.
