Regarding my earlier post's about LvG, how can you say he set Barcelona up for success? It's evident that Johan Cruyff set up La Masia, implementing total football/tiki taka through all group ages.

He set Bayern Munich up for the success they're having now? he destroyed team morale so badly that the team we're lingering in 4th position which would mean they wouldn't achieve a champions league spot, in a weak league where they should be achieving top 2 minimum.

So to your answer Pancho, no am not worried, I cannot wait for you to appoint this clown.

Well you would say that wouldn't you Plymouth? You're the most bitter, obnoxious, pretentious t*t I have perhaps ever seen on these forums. And claiming you're not worried? Ha! Going to such lengths to reassure your own fragile belief says it all.

Plymouth, cruyff own nothing in his last 2 years as Barca manager. Does that make him a clown also?
All cruyff installed was a philosophy from Ajax arguably invented by an Englishman (jack Reynolds as previously pointed out by mort), then Rinus Michels ajax era. Lvg has had the benefit along with cruyff of the Ajax and Barca setup and was successful probably as successful if not more than cruyff in his managerial career which hasn't ended yet. Yet you don't rate them much and label lvg a clown.
As your on this page a lot with your "banter" remember a couple of weeks ago on a rare occasion having a look specifically for any posts by yourself and surprise surprise there were none. Have a think about that tonight when your tucked up in your Manchester United pj's clutching your megastore teddy.

Supasub, without Cruyff La Masia wouldn't exist, he made Barcelona what they are today, LvG reaped the benefits of Cruyff's great work.

Plymouth, have you been banned from the liverpool forum?

You know very little, Plymouth. LVG codified the work of Cruyff and created the blue print for the way Barcelona play today. He did the same at Ajax.

He has won league titles at every club he has ever been at.

I would be worried if I were you. Some of the players' you're being linked with are not going to make you into a super-power of European football. You don't have the money. 60 million will buy you one world class player and a couple of top players'. We will sign at least one world class player in this window, and up to 4 top players', which will completely transform the team, and put them back challenging for honours.

Your team done great this season, but you still won sod all.

The notion that LVG damaged Bayern is based on the premise that he fell out with the club and left. This is the way it has ended for him at a lot of his clubs. The difference at United will be that there will be no Cruyff or Beckenbauer type person putting their oar in. All these clubs have a serious political agenda going on in the background. Pep is even at some odds with the Bayern board currently.

LVG is a winner everyplace he has gone and he won't take any crap from any upstart players in the same way Fergie didn't. He can be ruthless and no doubt he will clear out the deadwood and his stature will negate the lack of european football next year.

Hopefully the club will go all out to land somebody like Vidal and a world class centre half. We have plenty to offer in attack given the correct platform.

As for Portsmouth he is trying to cover up the fact that Brendan the Conqueror blew it this year ably assisted by Stevie Me. Liverpool would struggle to attract a coach of LVG calibre. Fair play to the scouse fools they dared to dream and that's what they have been doing for years dreaming. Doubt they will get top 4 next season and no doubt the rat faced racist will jump ship post world cup

Plymouth, la masia was turned from a social building to house the youngsters in the late 70's. Cruyff didn't manage Barca until the late 80's. So who was responsible for all the liga titles, uefa cups and cup winners cups previously? You say cruyff was responsible for la masia so I looked it up. It was turned into a building to house the youth by Josep Nunez who was the then president. Again where are your posts on your Liverpool page when I looked a couple of weeks ago? Your obsessed with disagreeing on here and you get caught out.
So cruyff was responsible for Barca for the club they are today? So how did they get him as a player when arguably the best in the world at the time if they were a nothing club? Dear me.
