personal accusation against Van Hal in a way pretty cutting I'd say rather than personal

and then Van Hal reacted with hmm I don't less than

subtlety I'd say he accused skulls of only speaking out because he's paid

by Sky and BBC and said he's not responsible for the team but it could

also be in other way as well and said he should have spoken to Edward Wood or
