Once Van Gaal is finally gone I can almost guarantee nobody will give an ounce of thought over his much coveted 'foundations' and bullshit philosophy that his dwindling delusional followers absolutely love to espouse, similar to Moyes' disciples, two years after his belated sacking and he's barely even a sidenote, just a pathetic laughing stock that most United fans would sooner forget than even acknowledge as a part of our history. There might only be two on here that are still fighting the good fight, it's entertaining at least otherwise this place would just be a collection of depressed United fans all accepting reason and logic, keep it up boys, it's the only exciting thing related to United worth watching.
That said the delusion of pretty much every argument is just hilarious, utterly manic stuff. They either make utterly no sense or contradict eachother or are simply born out of desperation. The fact that the same people championing LVG's 'clearing of the deadwood' are the very ones bemoaning how injuries have left us short on viable options is incredible. The total lack of self-awareness is astounding, I mean seriously, give up the charade, nobody could seriously try and make these two points concurrently and not realise the contradiction?
The 'foundation' claptrap is exactly that, utter shite. Should United stop purposefully trying to fail and actually get their shit together* sometime soon will anyone(aside from the deranged Van Gallers) seriously even mention LVG's name as if he had any positive role in any and all future success? How does failing miserably on every possible metric while giving a few kids a run out and selling off half your squad elevate a manager from 'utter failure' to 'foundation builder'? LVG can flail about and try and implement all the totally incompatible systems, formations and play styles he wants, he's not 'building' anything here. He's a veteran manager on his last gig with little else to prove, he aint creating a bloody dynasty. As for 'improving the club's structures' and 'modernizing our oh so awful youth and scouting setup', yeah, I hear Moysie's iPad dungeon's grand opening will be coming soon, I'm sure we'll all look back with teary eyes at all these magical developments to our decrepit ol' shell of a club.
*may not actually happen
And once again the utter nonsense of trying to paint Fergie's last few seasons as anything close to resembling the pure incompetence and failure of the last three seasons isn't even funny anymore, it's just anger-inducing at this stage. Apparently we needed the great wizard Van Gaal to truly revolutionize our equally terrible European record since the early 2000's. Didn't you know that all this started WAY back when? 2002/03 was the last really good year I reckon, yeah yeah five league titles, 1 CL(and numerous finals and semi finals) and several other cups and great performances and truly world class players and teams but seriously how did anyone NOT see this coming? We've been clinging on since forever it seems. Also, we don't count Fergie's titles in 2011 and 2013, those title winning teams (with 9 and 11 point winning margins) were utter crap, what a miracle we managed to stay outside midtable with such dross.
Van Gaal has failed, spectacularly at that and he needed to be sacked back in December, no amount of revisionism, bluster, goal post moving and nonsensical bullshit will ever change that reality, he can blame the press, Scholes, injuries, referees, the fans, Fergie, Captain Planet and Redcafe itself, doesn't matter a jot, he's the manager, he holds the ultimate responsibility, he's done absolutely nothing in his time here to warrant being anywhere near our club and the day he's sacked will be one massive relief.
Though those CL wins in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 and World Cups in 2010 and 2014 were pretty dank. Someone better list them on his Wiki profile. Also Thomas Muller is his son, unearthed from the sacred grounds deep within the Black Forest and raised by LVG himself to be a true god among men. Father of the century right there.
The sheer arrogance of this fool. Hopefully you'll disappear along with Van Gaal at the end of this season.
