They used to be and some hope to still be, that's the depressing thing.

Honestly, that's the only reason I used the quote. When it comes to former footballers, if they really knew the game they wouldn't be working as pundits. Clubs would be on their knees begging for someone with Michael Owen's achievements to work for them in some capacity if he actually understood football.

Not handling the pressure well anymore, usually the stories in the press don't affect him. Tbf it was the club's fault, they should have come out and said something by now.
Despite I think he's taken us as far as he can, I love the guy and feel sorry for him now.

Van Gaal hates the press and has done so for his entire career. I wouldn't read anything into his comments.

He looked on the verge of tears and was demanding an apology for stuff that was never said.
There's hating the press, and there's giving them undeniable proof that they've rattled you, this was the later.
Dunno, if he's come out fighting been a bit arrogant and given back to them then good on him, this just was a bit Benitez like.

The media were pretty dickish in the aftermath, which is probably why he didn't answer their questions. According to them he was 'ranting' and 'stormed out' of his press conference.

EDIT: I've just realised the article was written by 'Apollo Gees'. Jesus christ.
LvG was right though, the media were saying he was pretty much sacked and they were wrong - The Sun were wrong in a big way. He said they were wrong, put them right, and now they're reporting it as if he's lost the plot. Although as people have said they do that all the time to managers under pressure, he's clearly got wound up by it.

He looked pretty much a broken man, but I definitely applaud him coming out fighting.
And seriously the media has got to be the biggest cancer in English football.

Umm are they not just in general?

Well obviously, but theres a difference between saying that and gleefully reporting he has been sacked and that Mourinho is coming in and then gleefully 'apologising' like the Sun did.
I have sympathy for the journos working for proper papers here, because to a man they reported the 'two games to save his job' story and have been lumped in with the shit like the Sun.

I was just being general re his time at Utd as a whole and the performances he's managed. Wasn't so much about the press situation. Everyone knows how the media in England works, they get a sniff and they'll ruthlessly take advantage of it irrespective of the credibility attached.
