Van Gaal, 3 years and over 300 million.

What progression and improvement has been since the end of last season?

Better, deeper squad for one.

Who are we saying would be the league one Messi that Clough has rejected?

Im saying that messi is an improvement on van persie falcao rooney
not many are but he is ,pick a name out of a hat for an upgrade on our ragtag bunch of squad players

It's working out for Brendan Rodgers too

Apart from we aren't lower in the league than last season.

All things being equal, we didn't have Weir for any of this season. Is our form this season like for like from February to the end of the season? (omitting his first 3 months of Cloughs reign)

Some fans didn't even give Clough a year on a modest budget. That's life
Can you get there for 1230 on Sunday? It's a 35 minute drive. Any probs text Dave as I won't be there.

a "big club" like ours.


Edit: Clearly i need to expand on my OP. Yesterday the Mancs manager said his "process" would likely take 3 years to rebuild his squad. My sarcasm was intended to emphasize how little time some fans g ave our own manager to rebuild our squad. My irony was to suggest that ours was " big club pressure" compared to the Mancs. Hey ho, my mistakes.

We wouldn't have finished 7th if Clough hadn't come in and started the rebuild process. We're about a year into it, and further forward than we were last season, that's progression whether you like it or not. The squad and team are stronger than last year, that's also progression, and we know we're shy of a forward which with put us further forward.
There is clear progression and improvement, if you chose to see it or not is another matter and entirely subjective.

All good points, but if you dumped Chelsea at the bottom of league 2 and installed a monkey as the manager, they would progress.

There's a point at which moving forward at snails pace doesn't deserve much credit. I'm not sure where we are on that scale.

Peter Reid already has a job elsewhere.

Precisely.

Back to the OP, if Van Gaal gets himself 3 years, how long should Clough be given. Clough had the harder job

I'd have to disagree. Getting United out of the 3rd division should be an easier job that returning ManUre to complete dominance of English football .

Not that it makes a difference. A manager wanting 3 years is very normal. A manager getting 3 years for us, or anyone else, is a completely different kettle of fish.
