Not talking about just his time with us here. Whatever you think about him, he's had a fabulous career. He's been a top top manager, nobody can deny it. He's won a lot of trophies and implemented a lot of good things at various football clubs. It's always tended to be followed by controversy though but that's who he is. He's utterly bonkers.
I would like him to win the FA cup and retire this summer. I feel we do need change to kick on but I also appreciate what an impact LVG has had on football and it would be fitting if he won the World's oldest and most famous cup competition on his last ever game in charge. Would be best possible ending I can see for him as I don't see him doing any better than that next season if he stayed.
Win the Cup for us Louis and retire with your head held high(ish).
LVG's Career as a whole.

I like the bloke, despite him being as mad as a hatter and not wanting him to be our manager next season, i think his interviews are honest, he doesn't hide from questions, badmouth other managers or blame the ref for every decision that goes against us
That said, i hope jose takes over in the summer

I'm getting the feeling that Van Gaal is going to stay on, fourth or no fourth.

Me too, purely down to the fact we've got complete spacktards running the club.

Hid he doesn't hit top 4 he's gone.
I reckon he's saying it to take pressure off the players, keep them focused for League and Cup. Imagine if he kept schtum and we finished 5th but still had the cup. Could hamper preparations.
Better the players think he's there no matter what IMO.

Don't agree with your view on van Gaal re his career after the 90's. The achievement he is most proud of himself, is winning the Dutch league in 2008/09 with AZ Alkmaar, a small football club in Holland. An achievement coming close to Leicester winning the PL.
And taking this crap Dutch national team to 3rd place at the WC was also impressive.

No it wasn't, Steve McLaren had won the league with Twente the season before. The big 3 at the time were nowhere near the level of previous seasons.

He has a poor taste in restaurants.
His favourite place is Wings, and they serve testicals.
Of all the places to eat, he goes to the ball farm.

First of all, Steve McLaren won the league the season AFTER, not before. And the Ajax team of 2008-2009 had Huntelaar, Suarez, Stekelenburg, Vertonghen, Vernon Anita, Gregory vd Wiel, Thomas Vermaelen and Toby Alderweireld to name a few, and was NOT a crap team at the time.
