Have seen a lot of people saying they wouldn't want him etc.. Think it completely changes when it's clear he wants to be here.

Man United greatest manager of all time statistically - 100% win rate

 

[Sick Boy]

I’d prefer him over Carsley or Lampard.

I’d prefer him over Carsley or Lampard.

That’s like deciding which plug socket to stick a fork in m8

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I’d absolutely love it if we got him. His credentials are far better than either Carsley or Lampard…and it’s Ruud Van Nistelrooy for crissakes!
Get it done Doug!

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Lampard would still be my preference as he’s more experienced, I reckon Ruud would jump ship at first opportunity if he got us playing….he’d get our strikers firing though

 

[torchomatic]

Take him over Carsley and Lampard - will look forward to the time I don't have to type those two names any more.

 

[Potbellypig]

Honestly, if we got Ruud I would absolutely love it. All would be forgiven and I would dig my season ticket out of the bin.

And he's more of a coach so fits the model compared to Lampard anyway. I think Lampard would be my nightmare appointment.

 

[David O'Day]

if true nice but that's not a source i'd trust that much

Clampard? Carpard?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Would he have played in the same team as Boateng?
Does he live locally?

Would have been in the Dutch national team with him

You can just type Rutgerus Johannes Martinus van Nistelrooij.

 

[Viktor17]

Has anyone got any in depth thinking on RVN to show if he's a good coach/manager - Big name apart....I haven't seen a lot.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

We turned him down 30 years ago…. Second chance at redemption?

 

[False9]

How credible is the source?

I was told by one of the esteemed SBT posters that there is no chance of RVN

They drew with Chelsea.

 

[David O'Day]

I'd like a more mainstream source first before I get excited, his year at PSV and his work at United post ETH would make him attractive to bigger clubs than us.

Yeah, it’s almost certainly bollocks but it’s nice to dream.

I think that's incorrect. We were trying to sign him but he had a bad injury which kyboshed the deal. When he was fit again he then had a top season with PSV before joining Man U.

I read apparently when we were trying to sign him (and Villa) he was a CM, we both didn’t rate him. Turns out he was a top class striker instead

 

[ajsccfc]

If people thought Doug will be seduced by a big name you've got to fancy the chances of Rutgerus Johannes Martinus van Nistelrooij

What does this mean?

certainly not a coach who is wedded to one style, preferring to analyse opponents on a game-by-game basis before deciding on the most sensible system to deploy

 

[Otis]

So there's hope for BTA still

Maybe he might turn out to be a top goalkeeper in time

 

[itsabuzzard]

Of all those touted for stepping in to the great man's shoes, he's the only one I could drum up any enthusiasm for. Would be an exciting appointment. Get it done, Doug. I think we're all weary of the past few months - time for some good news.

 

[San Francisco]

Think another poll would be in order, to gauge opinions.

 

[SBT]

How credible is the source?

It’s just a Man Utd fan site - no real record of breaking news

Given it’s the type of rumour that’s almost impossible to substantiate one way or the other I would say this is bollocks

Got as much credit as 'real' journos

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Was his second place finish with PSV considered a failure?

Genuine question, I have no idea except knowing they are one of the big clubs in that league.
