Well the likes of Pep and Mourinho are the ones who are truely exceptional. Van Gaal has had a generally successful career, but he is certainly not what we needed at the time. Poch turned out to be a brilliant fit for us. On paper so was AVB. Daniel Levy clearly wanted someone who was young enough to engage in a club development project, believe in youth development rather than big money signings and also had an attacking philosophy. All his picks were like that with the exception of Harry Redknapp perhaps - but even then it was under his reign that we grew as a club in many ways including the quality of our youth teams.
Well done Daniel Levy in my view. And thank goodness Van Gaal did not join us.
Not sure it deserves a well done to Levy, LVG is the one who turned us down
