Easy implement youth from the academy. Have patience on them like he does for Ivanovic.....

Financial fair play: how can Manchester City still spend £130m in one window? http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/sep/02/financial-fair-play-manchester-city TV cash takes more than England’s elite beyond reach of continentals http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/sep/02/premier-league-tv-riches-too-much-for-european-clubs

Yeah I know I'm like why the heck wait till the end when you have the whole summer to work things out? Stupidity, incompetence, idiocy! I will not be mad if we win nothing this season because of their imbecile attitudes!

Well after hearing about the marquino bid then this is clearly a panic situation. Lack of options and we did exactly like we did two seasons ago. Waste our time in shenanigans like Rooney and up getting poor options. Now the same repeat scenario after stones. Ridiculous to the highest degree.

One can only hope.

Shemitah, blood moon, rapture, war in the middle east? We shall see if anything does happen.

I was thinking about this. But like I said somewhere else it might be Jose fault for his lack of rotation and use of youth. This is the season in which he should be implementing youth. And this is the board letting Mourinho know that he must gamble on them this season. As long as we finish in top 4 it would be good. But of course he won't and will just stick with people like Ivanovic that under perform for many games. While he can't have that same patient for some of the younger players....

What's going on here?

This is the best thing to happen to us since slice bread!

Because not many team gets a manager for "long term". But 3 to 5 years is good enough. Mourinho is talking about the long haul, and his attitude and way of handling don't prove it. Is more of a short term stay like to 3 to 5 years that I mention.

Consistency is key. Not having one good season and then go back to being crap. This just let me know that they are a very hit and miss. They can have a good summer next season and everyone jump on the wagon at how great they are. And then have a summer like this year and be brought down again. Consistency is key!

The club is clearly trolling us! This is the board right now:

That's one thing I don't like about Mourinho. No matter how good he is short term his way of acting is not good for long term. Always fighting, creating problems for no stupid reason. It's good for one or two seasons but it gets boring after a couple of seasons. This guy is truly boring me now with his style and moaning. Get things done, stop the shenanigans and let the your work in the field do the talking!

Ridicules. Why waste money on such a low standard option and we can't give time to some of our younger players? Yeah yeah I know Mourinho doing his stupid talk of youth.... I'm pissed, and if Mourinho does not sort this out by December I could care less what happens to him. A lot of this is his faults for his lack of rotation and youth!

Wow absurdity of the highest order!

The guys at espn think Mourinho is talking about hazard and not Ivanovic as the player he single out last time. I guess that's about right. Take hazard and continue with Ivanovic till infinity and beyond!

Yeah right, deep down inside you know that's not true. Your just like a guy in which her ex just dumped him.

Absurdity. Like I said our board and Mourinho was only good for one season. One season don't make or break the image of anything, is consistency over many years. Last year and then this year just show they are all a bunch of hit and miss. Mourinho the board and all. Not the greatest mind of transfer like say Atletico or even Porto that keep bringing good names year after year.

John Stones 'didn't mean' to hand in transfer request, says Roberto Martinez http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/9973232/john-stones-didnt-mean-to-hand-in-transfer-request-says-roberto-martinez lol this is the funniest thing I read in a while!

I don't know about you but I like this situation because it will show me if mourinho is a coach for longer term. Will he find the solution and solve the problem? Or blame, complain and get a mess on his hand? We shall see by December and more telling by the end of the season. He was in a similar situation at Madrid where he win the league a season ago, gets a contract extension and then lose everything.... This is not the way a long term manager should be. So let's see what he truly got and what are his real intentions in the coming weeks.

Pretty much. So because of that we tend to be cautiously optimistic.

There's a difference between these lot and say someone like @lionsden. Lionsden tends to have way different opinion but he is never like a troll or insulting people. That's how it should be always!

I enjoyed his performance even though it cost us in the second goal. Hopefully he gets more chances going forward. Let Mourinho give him time and space like he has done for someone like Ivan.....

He needs to give time and trust to these younger player like he did with Oscar. And even if they cost us like Ivan oh well, they are young and can improve or be sold. Someone like Ivan can't.....

Until they hit a patch in December-January and fail to perform in the CL. All the while we picking up form October till the end.
