In the bleak unforgiving world of Premier League football, it’s more than reasonable to expect a Christmas sacking for any top level manager struggling to get things right in the pitch.
One man that has very much felt the weakening force of speculation in the last few weeks is Louis Van Gaal. After failing to get three points in any of the last 6 games, many voices in the media have already nailed on Jose Mourinho to take his job any day now.
Clearly furious with the treatment he has been afforded by journo’s, Louis Van Gaal was speaking about his sides Boxing Day trip to Stoke when the subject turned to Arsene Wenger’s recent comments that the Dutchman has been ‘disrespected’ in light of recent events.
Cue a four minute emotional rant about the stresses that have been lauded on the former Bayern coach and his family in the face of such gossip.
All before Van Gaal storms out giving the immortal lines ‘Enjoy the wine, and the mince pie – good bye’.
