Neville has come out today saying that if LVG was at epany of Europe's other big clubs and was playing the football he is, getting the results that he is and spending the money he has he would have been long gone.

Thoughts?

He's right, but Man U normally give their managers a chance, so I guess after getting rid of David Moyes so quickly, LVG will get a bit longer.

Klopp hasn't been here long but I think people are warming to him quite quickly.

Not half way through the season.

Peps very good at picking teams that have a lot of good players coming through. He looks ahead with what he has to work with. Wonder what he would think of Uniteds squad. Could that squad bring him the success he wants.

LVG is a pretty big name with a big reputation. Moyes hadn't achieved anything major so a much more difficult job to replace the LVG than Moyes.

But how long will the fans put up with garbage football his side are currently playing?

Judging by last night, not too much longer.

Scholes, Neville and Schmiechel have all come out and said negative comments about how United are playing. They are 3 United legends and their opinions will carry some weight

With United out of the League Cup, and City and Arsenal looking much better bets for the League. It might be tough for LVG to get a trophy this season. Would the owners still back LVG after 2 trophy less seasons and some pretty dire footy. Even if they finished 3rd?

It's the style of play that annoys me. They dominate games in midfield but lack the killer finish in the box and when you have players like Rooney, Martial, etc this is totally unacceptable.

They play with out risk. Limits the chance of loosing, but it is so boring.

Used to like watching United, not anymore.

There's certainly a few promising youngsters that Pep could develop.
