LVG: Former United manager

[dwr]

I wonder what the the odds are on us re-hiring Moyes?

Aye, probably didn't want to risk being hounded by the media and just wanted to make a quick getaway. Understandable.

Given the delay in it all, it might be worth reading Paul Hirsts tweet.

LOUIS VAN GAAL STATEMENT


Louis van Gaal issued the following statement at 20:30 BST this evening (Monday 23 May)...

It has been an honour to manage such a magnificent club as Manchester United FC, and in doing so, I have fulfilled a long-held ambition.

I am immensely proud to have helped United win the FA Cup for the 12th time in the club's history. I have been privileged during my management career to have won 20 trophies but winning the FA Cup, which is steeped in so much history, will always be one of the most special achievements of my career.

I am very disappointed to be unable to complete our intended three-year plan. I believe that the foundations are firmly in place to enable the club to move forward and achieve even greater success.

I hope that winning the FA Cup will give the club a platform to build upon next season to restore the success that this passionate set of fans desire.

Having managed in Holland, Spain and Germany, I had always hoped for the opportunity to manage in English football and be part of English culture. Both of these experiences have lived up to expectations and been fantastic.

I thank my players and wish them well for next season. It has been a pleasure to work with them and it has been particularly rewarding to see so many young players take their chance to break into the first team and excel. I look forward to watching the continued development of these young players next season.

Thank you to the owners and board of Manchester United for giving me the opportunity to manage this great club.

I would also like to express my gratitude to the amazing United supporters. They are truly the best fans in the world.

I am indebted to my support and coaching staff, who have given me their all during their time at the club.

I am deeply grateful to each and every member of the club’s staff - the sports science team, the medical team, the kit and laundry department, club administration, the press office, the manager's team, the Academy team, ground staff and the catering team, both at Old Trafford stadium and Carrington training ground, all of whom have given me their unwavering support in my time at United. Never in my 25 years as a manager have I been so well supported in my role.

Finally, my special thanks go to Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton for always making me and my family feel so welcome throughout my time as Manchester United manager.

For every one of his 'within 90 minutes' faults, he is a classy guy. Note the complete lack of excuses in there, only nice words to say the club, the staff, and us as supporters. Takes his leave with a bit of grace. Really hope is his remembered in time for the positives and enjoys his retirement. Wish I could meet him and shake his hand.

And then pretend it's right before his leaving statement.

Brilliant.

Came in with so much optimism and would have been genuinely loved by fans if the results had been different. Glad he's got an FA cup to show for his time. Now we need Jose to come in and sort the dressing room out. Cut out the mediocrity and bring in a couple of world class players to complement the youth. What we can't afford is another huge rebuilding period. I'll be happy with 2-3 genuinely good signings.

Interesting scenario. He has a similar win ratio to Fergie but based on only 25% of the number of games. He is a prickly character. His story with Bayern was bizarre. He won everything then next season failed to get to the third spot and was sacked only three months after the BM board had offered him an extended contract. His football was not terribly attractive in the failed season at Bayern. Klopp wiped the floor with him. Perhaps director of football? Age, prior poor performances, and his aloofness might not sit well with the OT board. Is he a two year man - maybe - but alas he wouldn't be in my top five choices.

So its true then - he's just posted this on the Red Cafe site. Have to admit he was almost spot on.

Red Cafe? Dear god

Make Van Gaals wibblings look sane

Bat out of hell. Love it.

Agree with Bestie, class statement.

Happy he went on a high, bagging the Cup.

I thought he was outstanding at the awards last year. Everything he said just really convinced me he'd take us onto another level this season.

Sad that it didn't work out. I would love it if he visited Old Trafford next season and we at least sing his name once. He did his best got us the FA cup and laid a foundation. Jose now has to build the Castle.
