Manchester United, that didn't last long. Seven up

[dino1980]

When has Jose ever over achieved relative to the wage bill he has had at his disposal since Porto?  Obviously successful at winning trophies but i don't have him as this modern day manager genius so many do.

Think if anything United's tale shows how important the manager is. He has won trophies wherever he has gone and that includes Porto and Inter where he wasn't at super strong clubs.

Aside from selling KDB I can't remember him making a huge mistake in the transfer market either.

Falcao!

Think one of the big dangers of Mourinho is Jorge Mendes. If he gets his tentacles into the club then they'll still be there long after Mourinho if he does his usual three years.

I don't like Manchester United much, but I've always sneakingly admired them.

They've always played exciting attractive football, with players like Best, Cantona, Giggs, Scholes and Charlton.

They've always given young, homegrown players a chance to shine.

This will all stop now they've employed Jose.

I can stop admiring Man Utd now.

Anything is a step up from LVG. We will play more attractive footie then the snoozefest we've had to endure this year

Yeah, Mourinho is renowned for his attractive attacking football.

Not a United fan, but Mourinho's rep as a defensive coach is a bit unfounded IMO and comes from the big games where he's more cautious.

His Madrid team outscored Barca in two of the three La Liga campaigns under Mourinho.

His last Chelsea title winning team were the second top scorers in the league in 14-15 (behind Man City) they might have one-niled their way to the title but averaged over two goals per game during the first half of the season.

He'd have been crucified if he didn't score goals as Madrid manager. Not exactly tough to score for fun in that league with the wealth of talent they had/have.

His brand of football is pretty dour, only slightly less dour than LVG. I'm sure he'll try and park the bus to the title, don't think its gonna work though.

Each team now has an elite coach in Klopp, Jose and Pep along with Poch at Spurs.

Trolling ftw.

Missing out Ranieri is just taking the piss.

Just like Arsenal, Man United have missed out on their perfect manager.

Of course, and having the shot monster that is Ronaldo in his prime undoubtedly helped, but whichever way you slice it they outscored Barcelona. The tiki-taka titans of attacking football.

His brand of football really isn't dour, we just remember the big games where he parks the bus. Michael Cox, who I'd wager has seen far more Mourinho games than you or I, wrote this excellent article on that a couple of days ago: https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/may/22/jose-mourinho-manchester-united-old-trafford

How many of the FA cup final team will play on the first game of next season.

LVG spent a lot of money. I'm not sure if any of his signings have increased in value.

No idea.

Think that LVG & Moyes just sprayed dough about for the sake of it.

Why is Woodward still there?  Surely he should be sacked?

Van Gaal's treatment has been poor, no question.
Had he earned another season? No, not for me.
Had he earned the right to leave with dignity and some warm applause for having unearthed some stars (albeit accidentally)? Absolutely.

Incredible he is still there imo.  He is a marketing guy pretending to be a CEO and have been given the reins for the top job because he has built the marketing side of the business so well.  Never understand how that then qualifies you to be the CEO.  Skill sets needed are totally different for the roles.  As with most football related decisions though it is totally results orientated and 'he deserves the job' blah blah blah.  Hardly a tough job turning Man U into a marketing /branding giant is it?  They got a pretty good head start on most rivals in that department just with the fan base.

Like putting the head of a betting firm call centre in charge of the trading operation.

Football eh? Bloody hell!

Negotiations over Jose Mourinho's image rights are delaying him becoming the new Manchester United manager.
