It’s beyond belief that people fail to see football as simply as it is. Cycles, top teams, money, youth. Repeat. We had one of the longest cycles in history, with the best youth, manager and money.
Now that it’s someone else’s turn and the fact they are vastly ahead of us (lots of behind the scenes reasons) they throw toys out of the pram and need someone to blame.
Could have even said just "Yes".
The time when Jose Mourinho performed like a world class manager = the past.
Whatever he's doing now = current period.
Pretty dumb to ask if he is still a great manager if he doesn’t win a title with us. His resume speaks for itself.
Why we have so many haters in this forum?
When will you realise that he does this on purpose?
Too many scousers allowed to get promotion/ many of the “united” newbs are undercover scousers RN.
So if he wins against Burnley and Guardiola loses at the weekend, does that mean Mourinho takes the trophy of "greatest manager in the current period?"
He'll even get to keep it for the international break...
Exciting times are upon us...
Aside from his trumpet blowing though, he did say nice things about the players and the fans. Should be praised for that just as he should be criticised for other things.
I remember his last season at Chelsea amid all the shit storm and I saw a clip of a press conference he was doing. Their press officer was on the ball: heading off any provocative questions, ensuring that Jose didn't answer those. He was polite but firm with the press, and kept things moving along. Only questions that he deemed were relevant/safe was the press allowed an answer.
I wonder if behind the scenes our lady might be too friendly with them? I dunno, but she definitely needs to be firmer.
So unfortunately, these definitions leave me with questions.
How does a world class manager perform? Do trophies count and/or style?
What would you describe as "now" or "current period"? Last season? The last 3 games?
"(Make) Jose great again"
"United fans are fed up with the disrespect the media is paying to Mourinho, my tactics and my record. Weak and out of control!"
"Wouldn't you love to see the CEO of United, when Martial disrespects me and refuses to run for me, to say 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He's fired. He's fired! (instead they offer him a 5 year contract)"
"Despite the constant negative press (which I instigated) Moufefe"

These journos are clowns. I don't think Jose need to remind them about his record. They all need sectioning.
In fairness they did before the previous game, but the moron went into a sulk, hardly answering & storming off. Many on here applauded him, bringing our club into disrepute.
Past achievements don't make you great now. Benitez was among the top managers a decade ago. The fact that he won the CL with a non-impressive Liverpool squad in 2005 doesn't make him a top manager now.
OK...This is a great quote
On Spurs fans singing, "sacked in the morning"
Steady.
Build a wall around Old Trafford is next!
The posters comparing him to trump forget trump won the big prize. In order fo José to be trump he would have to win the league playing our dire football , and then threaten to imprison Klopp. I definitely see a resemblnce between Klopp and Hilary also.
Question is , who would be Bernie ?

His personality when it comes to press conferences is so unlikable. So full of himself and every time only talks about his own record and has to remind everyone what he's done. Stuck in the past he is.
Past achievements? Interesting qualifier. Just how long ago is the past? 5 years, 2 years? 1 year?
Could have got a foundation for it during the summer but, was deemed not as sturdy as the one we now
Exactly, despite my intense dislike of the guy.
Apparently the full transcript of the presser:

Well, he was asked the question...
I assume you wouldn't have answered a question about yourself if it was put to you?
Its really sad that Mourinho's interviews are now more entertaining that the matches are. You cant help but look at his interviews and struggle to see a full match.
I’m a Liverpool fan, so I may not be objective, but I think he looks tired to me, and looks to be in need of a break. Sometimes people get burnt out, so I can’t see him being UTD’s Manager at the end of the season.
On a separate note, I’m pretty sure Ancelotti also won in Italy, Spain and England. Just saying..
UTD have a few easy fixture coming up, so I am sure their form will recover.

No I judge him on his current performance and it is shite. This pressure conference is in the league of rants by Keegan and Benitez.
Yeah, you're over exaggerating there by an absolute mile.
It's shite on the pitch, no question about that but, you're being overdramatic with your last point
Just read the full transcript. Dumb question, though the "I am one of the greatest managers in the world" comment is the random bit that doesnt seem like anyone asked about (the way its written, it came after "what does it mean to manage man United?". Anyway, it's not exactly the first time he's done it. It's a pretty regular occurance, Mourinho backing up his old record and playing the blame game.
"Did you read any philosophers? Or information, you never spend time reading for example, Hegel? OK, so, just as an example: Hegal says, the truth is in the whole. It's always in the whole that you find the truth.
WHOA JOSE
WHOA JOSE
Nah, he didn't win the league I don't think.
No need to mention you're a Liverpool fan...You'll feel right at home with some on here, going by some of the posts
He never won the league in Spain.
So on a whole a fairly balanced press conference.
As usual persons have chosen to pick a bone of contention and use it to beat the manager to death with it.
I'm now interested to see what the team does on the pitch, because that is the real issue for me. Not that Mourinho thinks he' s a great coach.
Personally I'd gladly swap those cup wins for a league win, esp in the way City walked it last season.
By the end of the season there'll be enough bodies under there to firm it up and start building next summer.Could have got a foundation for it during the summer but, was deemed not as sturdy as the one we now
When Mourinho says titles, he means the league. Ancelotti didn't win La Liga.
He has such a negative and defensive attitude during his press conferences. He was confident during his Chelsea days but somehow in a charming way. He was more relaxed.
If you don’t like the question ignore it or say no comment, it’s not relevant right now, make a joke or something. Nope, he just goes on about his greatness. He always sounds like we expect way too much from the team he has. Kind of depressing.
