In all honesty, that is my concern. From what I've heard his management seems even more extreme than that of Ramos and AVB in terms of controlling players. I don't know if that is what we need. On the other hand, someone who demands respect and actually has the record that means the players give it to him (this shouldn't be an excuse but I suppose it's human nature).
If it is what we need, Levy needs to stand by him during the inevitable humps and bumps that we will go through in the beginning.
This squad is totally different than the one Ramos had, and AVB's problem wasn't that he was too strict.
Van Gaal has won the league at every club that he's managed if I'm not mistaken. He knows what he's doing.
Mad as a box of frogs, I give you that. But that's what is exciting about it. He matches Spurs perfectly, especially his philosophy of all out attack. That alone will help rectify the atmosphere at WHL, seeing us score goals again and rip the opposition apart, even if they score goals against us as well.
