"#MUFC and LvG have held talks even to the terms of agreeing length of contract and pay. Discussing layout of backroom staff." [Sky Sports]
http://www.telegraaf.nl/tv/telesport/fox/22561940/__United_worstelt_met_wensen_Van_Gaal__.html Basically they are saying Manchester United and LVG are close (or have come) to an agreement on personel terms (like the wage etc) but a deal is on hold because they have some problems working out LVG additional terms, more precisely the staff he wants to bring with him. They are saying he has atleast 5 new people he wants to bring with him (like Kluivert, but also a couple of other like a video analyst, goalkeeper coach etc) and that United want the class of 92 to be involved in some kind of way. This feeling that the class of 92 (Giggs, Scholes, P.Neville and Butt) need to be involved in the coaching staff has been fuelled by the great result versus Norwich and the expectations are that if United win the remaining games under Giggs they will want him (and some of the others) in the coaching staff, which is a problem because LVG wants to bring his own staff. They say it maybay a minor detail that could worked out in the coming days but it depends on the willingness of LVG to lower his demands or on the club to give up its wish of involving the class 92. They say the club could be worried about the technical implications of an entire new coaching staff and that the problem right now is a dicussion about finding the ideal mix of a coaching staff. They also say that this is a similar kind of problem Van Gaal had with Liverpool, they also wanted him as a coach but the deal didn't materialse because they couldn't come to an agreement on the coaching staff.
Manchester United and Louis van Gaal have held talks about the contract, wages and also the back room staff. [Sky Sports] #MUFC
United have made an astronomical offer - €10m per year on a 3 year contract - as they try to wrap up deal for Van Gaal. [Le10 Sport]
Reading that he is not going to sign the 3 yr contract if his request that he's allowed to bring in 5 of his staff is refused, and Utd not agreeing, looks like Utd will have to choose the boys of 92 or give in to the Dutchman. #source, maths twitter page.
Why the ? Its on your twitter page, maybe if you stopped watching LFC.tv for a couple of minutes you'd see it.
We all love the class of 92 but between then they have no experience at all and to expect van gaal to disregard his top class coaching team for them is mental. Giggs to stay, Neville to go and let scholes and butt learn tge ranks first. Coaches ****ed us last time.
They let David Moyes sack the back room staff, so why not allow Van Gaal? The manager should be given complete control of what goes on at the club, he should not be told who he should and shouldn't have as his staff. He's quite happy to keep Giggsy on, so I don't really see what the problem is. I agree totally with UIR, none of them have any experience whatsoever. Van Gaal knows what he's doing, so they need to let him have his way
That's from 2 days ago and there's no direct quote from LVG, can't blame Utd playing hardball to keep Giggs but why would they want to risk him refusing the job because they want Butt, Scholes and Neville to stay, I'd guess the stumbling block would be he wants his own man instead of Giggs.
Kees Jansma, KNVB spokesman, confirms Van Gaal IS in talks with MUFC & Van Gaal has told them he will know something concrete this week.
Oh right it just seemed like you had translated it all for us in a English as the link is a Dutch paper, all written in Dutch
