It does seem like the fans have turned on Van Gaal. I actually felt sorry for him at the press conference; he was right that the press - scum that they are - had already buried him when he's clearly not been sacked (yet). The club is a fucking mess and the fact they are anywhere near the top after the shit they have been through the last couple of years is amazing. They are on a bad run of results, but they should still be nailed on to finish in the top three. Yes, he has spent a lot of money, but it was entirely necessary and the rebuilding has clearly not finished yet.
It doesn't look like Mourinho will get the job whilst Sir Bobby Charlton is alive, although any class that Manchester United had has mostly disappeared - so they may hire Mourinho anyway. They now seem to be on the verge of turning into a sacking club. The support have Scouse-levels of indignation that they are not winning every week anymore.
Giggs would be a disaster, so I hope he does become the next manager. The fans will mostly get what they want and then they will turn on Giggs too when it starts to go tits-up. It's no secret that he is a snake, stabbing Moyes and now Van Gaal in the back, the philandering fucking arsehole. Some of their fans also see that too. Giggs' acting the manager on the touchline against Norwich was a purely political manoeuvre to score points with the support and disassociate himself from Van Gaal. The club is poisonous and filled with backstabbers, just like Chelsea. Van Gaal would be better off out of it.
I hope this doesn't happen to us when TOF finally leaves. Not in terms of success (obviously), but in terms of TOF being involved in every little thing at the club to the point that that club cannot function without him. I would hate for him to go upstairs like Ferguson and cast a shadow on all his successors, becoming a malignant influence on the club.
