Good post and this should really be the focus as far as the appointment of LVG is concerned, the legacy he'll create and leave.
We may not get an immediate impact, but for sure we will get structure and progression.

Very close friends with LVG mate. He spouted about us meeting him before anyone else said. I wouldn't be surprised if he was going to be part of the set up either but i think he is right in it being a done deal.

What you also forgot to add was Xavi or Iniesta came out and said that he laid the foundations in how the club play there 'tikka-takka' football now and he was one of the best coaches he has ever played under and would with him again. So he can't be too bad as you say

If LVG is not appointed now that gullit quote will get more mileage the "blue and yellow"....

Well to a degree. He got one of his first gigs working under Van Gaal but stylistically they couldn't be further apart.
Mourinho is a pragmatic coach which is particularly able to get the most out of players. Van Gaal is more ideological he wants his teams to play in a very attacking way and makes the team have to adapt to that. He is also quite famous to not be particularly kind to those who disagree with him and as history in getting into large disputes with people in charge of the club.
Van Gaal, however, is one of the finest coaches in the game. What he did at Ajax and AZ was unbelievable. And was also a success at Bayern and Barca (the first time) both these teams at the time were no way close to the level they are now, it must be remembered, particularly Barca who were without a trophy in 4 years.
Realistically he is a manager which will take time to see his work pay off, only in Bayern was this not the case. The first season would be mostly adaptation from the players into the new style while success may well come in the 2nd or even 3rd season. We must therefore make sure he is willing to engage in an at least 3 year project and trust on it. Levy will have to be patient, the fans may also have to be patient and the players have to be up for working very hard. Even so, Van Gaal comes with an established reputation so tottenham will hopefully be patient with him. As he would present the first manager to manage Tottenham with such a reputation, having won a champions league as well as a league title in every team he has managed.

Please, please, please let this be true. Cannot take much more of Tim masquerading as our football manager any longer...

Mate, he apparently just said it on BBC 5Live so it's clearly not the same...

We knew that they met before. It's obvious that he is talking about the same event.

BBC are not the Daily Mail, with sensational stories, so likelihood it's true... I hope so
Well it is true, we know that Levy met with Van Gaal months ago. But what Gullit said was "I think it's a done deal, but you never know".

True enough, e has done well in the 'easy' leagues Netherlands and Spain, obviously the Bundesliga is a different matter but Bayern are the biggest and the best club so not really comparable to us.

Nothing new here at all for me. The meeting is very old news and the general consensus for a while has been that Van Gaal is joining, especially amongst the Dutch media. Gullit is just taking all this and presenting it as his own expert opinion.
