What do you think will happen at season's end?

Me, I've little faith in our board's proactivity so I think there'll be no announcement at all & LVG will just carry on (barring a 7th place/Cup Final loss disaster - then the board might feel pressurised to act). Hope I'm wrong...

You?
 
Solely my opinion, Jose Mourinho will manage United, Gary Neville to be his assistant.
 
Nah. It has to happen. Right? Right.

Yep, I'm going with this exact scenario. Not sure why people expect an announcement if he is staying, anyway. If no briefing comes within a day or two of the FA Cup Final, it's another year of LvG.

Yep, I have zero faith in our club to do anything competantly at present.
 
I think we'll have Mourinho.

Our board seem incompetent but even they must see that LvG needs to go.
 
The silence around the club and the lack of public support for LVG has convinced me we'll have Jose in place as soon as our league position and cup final outcome are confirmed.
 
I'm expecting a Mourinho announcement after the FA Cup final although I think LVG will personally be told before when we've officially ballsed up a Top 4 position.
 
He stays and carries on as if this farce of a season didn't happen, we continue chasing players that are just using our name to get better contracts elsewhere. By August everyone is depressed beyond saving.
 
I think the Mourinho deal is already done and LVG is complicit in it and happy to retire off into the sunset. It won't be a sacking.
 
LVG's good as gone, he won't be sacked/retired before the FA cup final because Jose won't be appointed just for three or four games left, LVG fails to qualify top 4 and breaks contract agreements. This allows us sack him without having to pay any additional money. Jose will be apointed straight after.
 
van Gaal will leave his post by mutual agreement. If pushed for a reason he'll cite anything other than a failure to perform to appropriate standards. We'll be given a week or two to stew a bit before the board announce Mourinho's arrival.
 
Anyone but Giggs. Won't be surprised if van Gaal stays. And if he's sacked if he loses the final and gets beaten by West Ham.
 
LvG to be sacked after the cup final, unless he achieves top 4.

Mourinho will then be our new manager.
 
Van Gaal will take early retirement a few days after the FA Cup final irrespective of the result. We'll release a very positive statement thanking him for his work behind the scenes.

Mourinho will be appointed at the end of the month, or perhaps the first week of June.

Giggs will leave the club not long after.

I agree.
 
Probably Mourinho.

If not, then LVG stays on.

Giggs taking over now is extremely unlikely.
 
How can you predict what this board is going to do? Theres no logic to anything it's done since SAF retired.

I am going ALL IN then...
Mou for the title win next season.
van Gaal to lose in the FA Cup final in extra time, but get Top 4.
Caf will go into major meltdown at some point this month.

I am sure I will get one of those right... :cool:
 
Jose Mourinho.

Anything else, then the richest club in the world is run by a bunch of clowns.

:lol:
 
Jose, if for no other reason than the press are going to start hammering Woodie about season ticket renewals or the lack thereof.
 
I hope i'm wrong but i got a feeling LVG will be here next season.
 
If I had to bet it would be on Jose.

In the interest of honesty I have to say my dread of the board's inactivity is nearly consuming me... :mad:
 
I just want to know. If it's LvG, fine; I'll hate it but I want to know as soon as possible. It's the expectations that kills you.
