like all non-united supporters, i dislike united, but back then you couldnt deny that they were a great team playing beautiful football.
as for LVG, there maybe a learning curve. but really, if youre a pro manager and considered one of the best in your trade, that isnt really an excuse. good managers should be able to go anywhere and adapt to the new team while bringing their own game/style with them.
and LVG not having the job security that wenger does seems like a negative to me? if he was that awesome he wouldnt be a fix-it manager. i guess thats what annoys me the most about him. he never stays anywhere long enough to show how inept he really is (a little harsh maybe?). loads of managers can come along and just throw money about until something clicks...
just my opinions obviously.
i am bias tho. i already dont like united, then they bring in a manager i dont like. its a perfect storm. plus, now i have to watch the legend that is schweinsteiger run around in a manchester jersey...
Our team now from the way we have played in the 90's and 00's is certainly different now, there was times early on in the season I did dread watching United play tho, but if you watched us against Spur and LFC in the last part of the season it was 2 of the best games I've seen us play in the past 5 years, the rest has just been hit and miss with flashes of brilliance and dullness!
I think your point on LVG is unfair about being a good manager, the PL is the most physical and demanding league in the world, for someone coming over from a different country, managing one of the best teams in the world and trying to salvage something good out of a deflated squad. I do agree on your bit about him never staying with a team for long enough, but I don't think he's the kind of manager to build up good relationships with players for that long really.
