Essien19 1,415 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 A player who's been flying around the world and not keeping in shape, a player that is on high wages despite doing absolutely nothing, a player that had been told he's not needed anymore, but doesn't want to leave, wages and traveling the world with his bird are his end game. At the end, he had it coming. Mourinho is not beating around the bush, not all of his players are 'super, super', some of them aren't within his plans. Fair play letting them know and not wasting anyone's time. That's Ferguson esque and how did Chelsea handle Malouda again? Happens everythere, case closed for me. stroey and Bir_CFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldportblue 547 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 he's an unbelievable manager and I have infinite respect for what he did for us but a part of me can't help but be happy he will be creating controversies and acting in a classless manner (at times) for our rivals and not us. Like others have said here, I can't, for the life of me, see him lasting more than 3 years there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short trophy formats he does dried up but Man Utd care more about the league right now anyway, hell it even worth more to clubs now . Not suggesting Champions League still isn't the epitome of football honours, because no doubt he'll be wanting to win that with an English team. As I said to many United fans, 3 years is all he'll last. Impossible more than 4, it's not his style. You know what's funny, we'd probably hire him back as well To be fair, I never disregarded his ability to win trophies - be it league or cup competition. It's just that neither come as often as it used to be. He, arguably, has lost that mojo he had 5-6 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the amount of players there it wont make a dent. Theyve got enough good players to feild a 3rd team good enough for half the PL - IMHO of course/ Thats what Conte should have done. We got alot of crap we could have sold off too for replacements. We know damned well theyre going to be fighting at the top somewhere. We just need to make sure we are up there with them. But I'll say it again. We wont have a chance in hell with our defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue he's always been like this but he should never inherit a young team and people have to stop believing in this long-term nonsense he's clearly not capable of . Like Guardiola, but at least Pep doesn't pretend, afaik he's always made it clear he's never wanted to stay anywhere more than 3 years. He signs rolling contracts ffs.

Tbh I think that is actually Jose's intention to settle long term but he doesn't have the patience or characteristics for it. After his grand tour around Europe's big leagues it was perfectly set up for him to come back and build a true legacy and I do believe that's what he wanted, but ultimedly he couldn't make the nessesery adjustments to his management style to pull it off.

gadget 126 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Granted our most successful manager and all that but i'm so glad all the bad press and headlines that come with the Mourinho package have shifted to Man U.

Yeah I agree with that, think he's got the intention but as you said not the patience and characteristics. When things go bad for Jose, they go horribly wrong. He gets agitated and he lashes out, players and fans see it oh so clearly now more than ever. He's a winner and it's a great attribute to always want to win - But he's not patient enough to take the losses in a dignified way.

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 While people keep glibly stating that Mourinho is our most successful ever manager lest we forget he's also been sacked twice. He wasn't exactly successful in Europe for us was he ? Three semi finals and a paltry two goals pretty pathetic. Styles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the guy who had a dig at Wenger a few minutes into his first presser both at Man United now and at Chelsea three years ago when he made return to the PL. It's true what they say, he's a cunt but at least till last year he was our cunt and it was little bit easier to swallow all that bullshit.

Pizy 18,952 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Knew as soon he was appointed there that he would suddenly try to become the classy, high and mighty type.

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 When we lost was a friendly till the season started and just was a sign of things to come Man u win no doubt a lot be read into. Sign of the good work José doing blab blah..Leicester toppling or some shit like that.where if Leicester win probably be seen as a bit mehhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Fox_ 2,086 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Will watch this. It'll be interesting, United have had a bad preseason, will be interesting to see how they cope. I'm going into this as a neutral just because of Leicester, otherwise I'd want José to win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
