BBC have said that Giggs is meeting van Gaal today in the Netherlands. BBC are as solid as a rock.

LVG will impress on Giggs that they sing from the same hymn sheet, or else. He would not want the latter to get ideas of his own.

about as reliable as any hack on t-internet....

no point getting excited lads

Its probably de boer to Spurs!!

seems like a bit of a troll

This frustrates me. Why is Giggs even involved in this.

Lads, what is Rob Beasley's reputation as a journo? He is shopping a big announcement re Manchester United for tonight around 10pm, apparently "big managerial news"...

Could happen, United announce their earnings report for the previous quarter before markets opens tomorrow, it is normal for a lot of companies to package other news with the earnings report.

Maybe Van Gaal wants to work with him and wants him at the meeting.

From my understanding LVG wants Kluivert. Its like Giggs is forced on LVG tbh

Why?

Don't get why you are vehemently against the old guard being involved.

If Van Gaal didn't want Giggs then believe me he either wouldnt be involved or Van Gaal would tell United to do one.

Edit: Re: Kluivert - he has said he isn't leaving his position and neither is Danny Blind.

@RobDawsonMEN
Only matter of time before United confirm Van Gaal. Club clearly keen for Giggs to be involved. Giggs keen on bigger role than under Moyes.

I'm genuinely excited again

And your understanding is based on what?

It's my understanding that Kluivert doesn't want to be involved.

Ooh look, see what I did there?

And this could be the reason the whole deal is being held up. This doesn't sit well with me at all.

lordgoat

I'd say if Kluivert wanted in, LVG would make it happen. I think Kluivert will be the next Dutch manager?
LVG generally takes a link with him when he takes a new role. I'd imagine he's like to meet Giggs and see how they gel before rubber stamping it. The fact it took this long for me means he wasn't letting anyone interfere with the Dutch preparation and did this on his day off. I hope everything will be resolved tonight/tomorrow.

fitzer1982

I wouldn't be surprised if Giggs announces he's leaving the club, Van Gaal is not known for liking appointments being pushed on him. Of course that's based on the assumption that Giggs is being pushed on him. Could be the other way around, Van Gaal wants him but Giggs wants to know in what capacity.

jonnyfingers

I could see Giggs staying on as a coach and maybe manager of the reserves maybe. If Van Gaal is the man and he wants Kluivert as the assistant then I don't see it happening any other way. Giggs may simply decide to leave for now to get managerial experience, it may be the best thing for him.

As for Giggs involvement in any managerial appointment I'd imagine it's partly he wants to have some involvement with the team, and also he's the current manager so may be best place to talk to a future manager about the club.

Giggs will not work with LVG if LVG doesn't want him. It's that simple. If Giggs is offered a role, it will be because LVG decided and thats it. Might be alongside Kluivert, might be a lesser role, but whatever it is it will be on LVG's terms.

Pretty sure Van Gaal said he wouldn't be taking Kluivert if he does take the job

Also LVG is not a man to have anything forced on him

Hiddink Is already confirmed to be taking over isn't he not? I'd say Kluivert will stay as his No.2 or else venture into Management himself.

A good point was made in this thread that perhaps they want to get rid of some players before LVG is officially announced, that way he won't be blamed for cutting the likes of Rio, Evra and whoever else. If that is the case, it would be a rare stroke of genius from the higher-ups.

Just the opposite surely? What better way for a new manager to announce his "take no shit" presence than to immediately get rid of some senior players, and in Rio and Evra he had the perfect scapegoats. Seems like it would be in Van Gaals interests to be the one doing the booting.

I think the players would be aware that he was the one that got rid of the seniors, therefore, and most importantly, he would be utterly ruthless in their eyes. But in the eyes of the fans he might not have been the one to have sacked some of their favourite players.

upstairs for coffee

It has gone this far that I don't think Giggs is in strong power position. If Van Gaal does not want Giggs, Giggs goes.

Between 8-9.30 in the morning for the announcement now might now seem like a good bet ... looking forward to official confirmation and all that will entail

So if Bayern win the cup they'll keep Pep and he'll sell us Kroos... Bayern uber alles!!

RobertKK

Did anyone else think Giggs was very serious the other night at the awards ceremony, especially when he was receiving his lifetime achievement award or whatever it was called.

He didn't seem very happy.

I don't want anyone imposed on the new manager, we need to get it right this time and let the new manager do what he wants with the people he wants.

I'd prefer obsession than pity I heard under the Hodgson era tbh! It's funny enough tbh

The plane thing is mental. Be interesting if it's a tit for tat thing next season! Lol

All of their fans under 25-28 years old have never got to experience what it was like for their team to lift the league trophy?

Oh wait, you said 'in common', not 'difference', my bad.

The whole obsession thing is funny, especially when the person comes into the opposition super thread with the accusation.

It would like going to the Gards and accusing someone of being a stalker. The evidence you have is that you spotted them looking at your Facebook profile while you were monitoring them through their window with binoculars

Friend of mine works for them saying it is.

Don't think anyone has done the boards.ie "Who is feeling your love test" for this thread have they? Tradition and all so here is mine (again) not too much different to the last iirc, Blatter you seem to have moved down in the pecking order a bit and Gav has moved up, he is my favorite Chelsea fan/mod though so its understandable
