Manchester United meet with Louis van Gaal as uncertainty over David Moyes' future

And?

He's also a far better footballer than your manager.

I don't really see your point.

 

My point is- you don't have to be an old-fogey to be a good manager.

 

He never mentioned age, he mentioned experience.

Of which Giggs has none in a managerial capacity.

 

No, but if he has been an astute observer- he's had 20+ years of current experience watching one of the best- and has been in a leadership role at the club. Experience is always a good thing- but it's not the only thing.

 

Great players dont often make good managers

 

And if the inverse is true- then perhaps you should have made Rooney manager then!



I don't think there is much of a correlation between how good a player is and how good a manager they become. I don't know if Giggs will be good or bad. I think he is NOT without experience though. He's been a strong leader in United's side for decades- been a confident of Fergie, and could potentially have picked up some tricks from him.

Time will tell.

 

I understand where you're coming from, I think he has the makings of a good manager, BUT he's never been a leader on the pitch. Him and Scholes were never leaders, but were good mentors for others.

 

Aye, but SAF, Paisley, Shankly and others were the same - more likely to put an arm around a player than scream at the team. If you look at the great leaders on the pitch - Keane, Ince, Vieira etc - they have usually either been poor managers or not even tried. Busby and Trapattoni are the only great managers I can think of who were great leaders on the pitch, and Busby was as much a mentor as a leader.

I think there's something to be said for the players who lead in a more subtle manner - they seem better able to mentor the players and earn their respect, whilst the overt leaders just piss players off.

Back on topic, anyone think Pep might now be coming available in the summer?

 

Hope not Swarbs. We would get destroyed in the premier league with all tge teams that sit back and hit you on the break.

 

He looked tired, may need to take a year off

 

Pep would do well at a part time club I feel.

Anyone know any current part time clubs?

 

I've heard it doesn't work at those either

Rooney has more influence at Utd than almost anyone else, his take home pay is 2nd only to the Glazers, Van Gaal would be best advised not mess with Wazza or he might demand even more money.

 

The "probability that the RS will win the premiership this year ( for the first time) " has nothing to with the skills of their manager.
More to do with the referees giving totally incomprehensible decisions in favour of the RS plus the same against their title challengers. Added to that, the cheating and diving of the likes of skrtl and the racist...

i never said that, it was 1 of your fans that made up a Van Gaal quote, learn to read.

 

You cheeky little tosser, you're ripping us to pieces on there and then you go and cry to your lunatic followers on twitter that I'm stalking you, get a grip Matty if we're fair game then so are you.

You made the statement about being an avid viewer of LFC.tv and of popping over to Anfield to watch us so stop being a Liverpool fan on twitter and a utd/Chelsea/Swansea fan on here and nail your flag to one mast matth.
