If the board are being pragmatic, they take van Gaal for a couple of seasons, he'll get us into the CL places, will work with a director of football, and will probably get all the teams from youth up playing 433.
I doubt van Gaal is a backwards step for any club mikec.
Won the bundesliga with Bayern back in 2010, and the Eredivisie with AZ Alkmaar in 2009, and Holland quaified for the world cup without losing a match (I think) so he still knows how to win and motivate players, and is flexible enough to use the players he's got with a couple of wrinkles to play..
Like I said I'd prefer a younger manager, but if van Gaal wants to parachute in and do two/three years of Benitez at Chelsea work for Spurs, then who am I to disagree..
