I have left reddit due to my disagreement with the direction the website has taken in the last years.

The situation has gotten increasingly worse. I would like to thank /r/soccernerd, /r/reddevils and /r/rickygervais for the countless hours of education, discussion and entertainment I got from you.

As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.

If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, GreaseMonkey for Firefox, NinjaKit for Safari, Violent Monkey for Opera, or AdGuard for Internet Explorer (in Advanced Mode), then add this GreaseMonkey script.

Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.

I'm now reading every post on here that mentions Van Gaal as coming from Van Gaal.

    How is he crazy ? Sorry, dont know much about him.

    [–]BrasilPakiIronman 186ポイント187ポイント  (21子コメント)

    when he managed bayern he went to the locker room and showed the team his balls. To prove that he has balls to take anyone off the team.

    [–][deleted] 16ポイント17ポイント  (5子コメント)

    Is there actually any proof of this, or is it just another story that people love to talk about but isn't true?

    [–][deleted] 21ポイント22ポイント  (1子コメント)

    holy shit, I can imagine now bunch of ManUnited players already talking to their agents. It's going to be tough to win over or impress this guy. I envisage a competence or GTFO scenario, which should do club a lot of good.

            If the Netherlands do badly at the World Cup, there is going to be an absolute shitstorm about whether this was a distraction.

            [–]Ajaxmatjuh 156ポイント157ポイント  (41子コメント)

            Well, since everyone already expects we are going to do badly, I'm not so sure about that.

            [–]ReadingComeOnImDean 62ポイント63ポイント  (38子コメント)

            Well, if van Gaal hadn't been appointed United manager, people might have just said, "that's disappointing, but maybe this is just a transition period" (or something, I have no idea how the Dutch national team is right now). Whereas now, people might well blame van Gaal for being unprofessional and not focusing on the job at hand.

            In effect it could be another reason to criticise van Gaal.

            people might well blame van Gaal for being unprofessional and not focusing on the job at hand.

            Van Gaal might not be universally liked in the Netherlands but everybody knows that he gives 100% no matter what. I don't think a lot of people will mind that he's appointed to Man U already. He's the type of guy that won't let himself get distracted and will fire away any questions about Man U during The Netherlands' campaign I'm sure.

            [–]AjaxUpvote_I_will 77ポイント78ポイント  (34子コメント)

            About everybody in the Netherlands agrees that we're inot gonna do well. We have terrible players except for Robben and Van Persie and there are no talents like the previous generation except for Depay maybe, but the rest is just mediocre. It will take at least six years for the Dutch team to be anywhere as good as a few years ago, since there are some great prospects that are about 16 years now.

            [–][deleted] 29ポイント30ポイント  (3子コメント)

            We don't have terrible players, we have inexperienced ones. There is a clear age gap because an entire generation went to waste, but there is plenty of talent alongside Depay in the younger generation, especially defensively and midfield. Good enough to succeed the last generation at least.

            Because the last generation wasn't that good. They reached a final with 19th century football and people talk as if we had gold in our hands with our players. None of our players apart from Van Persie and Robben would even be considered for the national team in the 98-00 Dutch team.

            [–]Arsenalreverseagonist 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

            I agree with you. The current team is still not ready for the big tournaments, but that's work in progress. It's the KNVB's mistake for not introducing these boys in time. Now they need to do that in a tournament.

            Sneijder would qualify for the 98 00 team by the way.

              Are we already whitewashing the absolute shitness of our 2010 finalists?

              Nobody is expecting the class of 2014 to move beyond the first knockout round, but saying they're "terrible"... The class of 2010 had Mathijssen and Heiting as CB's, for god's sake.

                    You mean opposed to when val Gaal failed to lead them TO the world cup? He's already doing better than ever. And even if they do badly, van Gaal will just hand out bad grades to players and the media. ;)

                        It would be interesting to see that scenario. However, I really can't see Netherlands finishing below either Chile or Australia.

                                I wouldn't rule out Chile mate, they looked pretty good in that friendly when they beat us 2-0. Vidal didn't play then either.

                                I definitely can. Holland is pretty terrible at the moment. Plus at best they'll finish second, play Brazil and go out then. This isn't going to be a successful world cup for Holland.

                                            I think most would say RVP is a little undeserving of it, consider he has only been here 2 years. But if he gets and does a good job everyone would be happy.

                                            Despite all the tantrums Rooney has thrown, I still think he was our most valuable player for the past 7 years.

                                            He played so out of position, he could've be mistaken for a defender.

                                            Do we want a tantrum throwing captain? The captain doesn't have to be the best player in the team.

                                            edit: He has also apparently fallen out with a few of the players because of his wage negotiations this year.

                                            This comparison, to me, is utter nonsense.

                                            What Rooney has done twice is so completely different to how Keane behaved.

                                            Keane did a dodgy interview and SAF felt he was over-stepping the mark at times.

                                            Rooney tried to reject United twice.

                                            When he was here there wasn't much doubt about Keane's passion and love for the club. In no way can the same be said for Rooney.

                                            You can't equate Keane post-United to the player that lead us for years, a player for whom Manchester United and everything this club represents was almost everything.

                                            The only tantrums with Keane in a *United shirt were really on the pitch when the red-mist descended.

                                            You are completely correct.

                                            Add to that Keane is a born leader on the pitch. When a game got rough he'd be the first to throw his head (and more often than not studs) right into the equation. Very much a leads by example type of player, which I think Rooney, despite his obvious talents, is not.

                                            You can't equate Keane post-United to the player that lead us for years

                                            Again, absolutely true. His tactical ability as a manager is one thing, but where he definitely fails is an emotional nuance. I expect Keane gets on well with players like him. But the softer players in a team, those who don't respond well to criticism, he will fail.

                                                The captain just needs to be a strong leader, who can get everyone in line. From the United matches I've seen this season Rooney definitely looked like the player who could give orders & lead from the front. If Van Gaal & Giggs can get him to calm down & stop mouthing off to the ref then I think he could be a decent captain for United.

                                                Isn't it hard to marshall a team from the striker position? I can imagine the best position for a captain would be defence/defensive midfield.

                                                I think it's all dependent on style of play.

                                                If you're a team that deploys a strong defensive tactic with the thought of attacking on a quick counter, then a goalkeeper or defender would be a good captain.

                                                If you a pass & move team, then a midfielder.

                                                And if you're a risk it all on a strong attack, having to rush back to defend a counter, then a midfielder or attacker would make a good captain.

                                                However, this doesn't take individual players into account. It doesn't always matter what position a player plays, if they're at a club for a long time or they are a veteran play, they may have strong leadership skills or command enough respect amongst the players to galvanise the whole team.

                                                Rooney may be a striker, but he goes in deep & helps in defence a lot. He's been at the club for a long time & I would think that most of the current players have a lot of respect for him.

                                                    A lot of people under-rate Rooney because they don't watch the full game, but he does so much other than just scoring - definitely one of your most valuable players

                                                    Thats his problem though, he does so much defensive work that he's always out of position when we need him making runs on goal, which is why we had so much sterile posession last season because no one was making runs ahead of the ball

He wants to manage in the premier league, and he's too old to wait for a job that's not available for at least a year, potentially never if the current manager does well............

Utd needed someone to come in short-term and try repair the damage, whereas Spurs need someone younger who would implement a long-term vision (Levy, don't even think about it.)

Implemented the 4-2-3-1, put Schweinsteiger on the "Doppel-Sechs" and pretty much made his career with that (I don't think he would even play for the NT anymore if he would still play as winger), promoted guys like Müller and Badstuber to the first team. Yeah, his spell at Munich didn't end all too well because hes a fucking nutjob but the guy knows his shit.

                                                                                                                            1) I wonder if he will get along with Rooney, I think their relationship could definitely be difficult.

                                                                                                                            2) What will he be allowed to do with/to the current squad, the summer window is going to be great.

                                                                                                                            As they say, only time will tell.

                                                                                                                            Van Gaal coming to the premier league is a dream come true for everyone involved. He's always ready to be controversial in the media while at the same time bringing in youth players to the first team. Hopefully he'll step away from the classic 4-4-2 and implement a tactic that'll get United playing fluid, Dutch-styled football considering United have an abundant amount of talented players.

                                                                                                                            Hopefully he'll bring in some more young players and get rid of the overvalued relics that currently play in the main squad.
