Don't blame him. He is well past his best but if he doesn't want to sit around listening to a bunch of ravenous jackals egging him towards quotes and picking at his job, then good luck to him. At his age he's more than earned the right to tell people where to go when he doesn't like something.
I think I agree actually
He is a muppet and a dinosaur. Imagine looking around at the press room and asking for an apology. For where! from whom?. The man needs to retire and let Mourinho complete the job of fucking United completely. I know they will spend 300m trying to lure Ronaldo back in a futile attempt to rekindle past glories. Mourinho will hopefully bankrupt them and ruin their international following.

I'd like to see him stick around up to and including the home game they have against Chelsea. I know that's less than a week away but that's an awfully long time in football.
Manchester United would be in further disarray with a managerial change before then. A chance to game-raise, show off in front of his home fans and get one over his Dutch compatriot Guus Hiddink may be an opportunity van Gaal just won't be able to pass up.
As far as we're concerned, it's yet another nail in Chelsea's coffin

I actually feel bad for Van Gaal.
No one should have to put up with those absolute low lives pretending to be journalists.
About time someone told journos to do one.
Holt and Ashton and Co are #1 on my hate list. A genuine hate list. The other "hate" for rivals in this game, that's banter. But I genuinely hate Holt and Ashton and Co because of what they are.

One thing he's made clear since he came here is his utter disdain for the media. Part of that is his blunt Dutch personality but you see it regularly before and after games how secondary he thinks the media are to proceedings. That always gets the thumbs up from me, treat them how they deserve to be. Will laugh my head off more at Man Utd than the fact he's sacked if that happens. As a stabilising manager for the club post-Fergie and Moyes I think he's got enough in him to keep them in a CL qualifying spot for another season. After Fergie it was never going to be easy and I think with perspective, Utd are kind of where they should be. Changing and moving on from a football empire like the one Fergie oversaw was going to take years. Look at Liverpool once the last, great team at Anfield broke-up in the early 90's. We'll experience something similar once Wenger steps down too, although his lack of consistent success over the last part of his career will make the transition a bit easier. Owners permitted of course.
Stabilising them is fine but the guy has spent £250m. He should be winning the treble with that kind of spending. Mourinho, Mancini and Pellegrini have all bought league titles with crazy figures like that. The board gave him a war chest because they thought he could bring them silverware, not to scrape top four finishes. He's a flop.
It makes me laugh when people say his style of play is too boring for them though. Didn't Ferguson win multiple league titles by stockpiling 1-0 wins?
I think United under Fergie were always capable of playing fast and precise attacking football. That they could also grind out wins was just another string to their bow. LvG hasn't been able to do either with this team despite all the money spent.
