Yeah and iirc, the first leg at the San Siro, we drew 0-0 but were the much better team
Looked at the stats and Inter had no shots on target in that 0-0 too
Some things never change for Jose!

You listen to that, to Mourinho saying how fecking Traore is ahead of him, how they are five wingers ahead of him and you think that interview is Mourinho just towing the party line?He would say that he couldn't blame the club while he was employed!

Yeah. Merinho never takes responsibilityI think the exclamation mark denotes sarcasm...
Yeah. Mourinho's ability to turn toxic has little correlation to a club's structure. That does not alter the fact you're club is still operating under the old british structure, which in today's game is actually very unstable and prone to internal collapsesLike Madrid and Chelsea?
I hope he turns his career around to be fair. There’s a decent guy in there somewhere and was always respectful to our fans. Just glad he’s finally out of the club.
Yeah, this season winning 3 games in a row or playing attacking football was apparently too much to ask of him
A narcissist trying to out-trump Trump.
Still as delusional as you were before we sacked you then Jose? Mentioning a second finish at United is his greatest achievement is his indirect way of telling the world how he achieved miracles with an inept group of players and a club lacking structure.
Not to mention Liverpool stopped conceding silly goals when they signed VvD in January and actually looked like catching up to us at one point, only to drop out of the race due to their CL progression and thin squad. But all this is lost to Jose fans who still bang on about that 2nd as though Jose achieved it by surpassing all odds.
What's interesting is that the "Jose thread" is now 25 pages long and getting longer.
It shows that people have strong feelings about him - for and against.
Somehow, he divided fan opinion like no other. With Moyes and LVG - we unanimously said that they need to go. There was little argument against that, but not with Jose.
I will be watching to see which club he joins and how he does with them. I really don't want there to be a situation where we go up against his new team and lose, followed by him saying, "I told you so".
You summed it up very very well. I have never heard him saying well, it's my fault, or this was bad decision by me or or, that never happened unlike someone like Pep who I just read today a quote of hi saying " worst thing in football are excuses "He's kinda burning bridges with those comments. I'd hoped to see him take some responsibility for what was quite clearly a trainwreck of a season but he's still shifting blame away to other entities. Blaming the club structure and professionalism/maturity of your players again, jeez.
He might be a great manager, but he was never the right fit for us. I'm glad we let him go.
Mate, since SAF left, Jose got us our highest league finish (as well as 2 trophies in his first season). To suggest that that was a nothing achievement is bizarre.
You need to give credit where it's due.
It was another way of having a go at modern/flavour of the month style of managers and football.I'm just glad that I can sit back and laugh at the jibberish he talks now knowing that it has absolutely nothing to do with us.
The latest yesterday for example:
"If you speak about Guardiola, Ancelotti, about one where obviously I belong, that have a career of victories for a long, long period, where are the young ones with a real impact in terms of results, where are they?"
So, basically he's asking where are all the new, young managers who have had a long career of consistently winning, .
Well, where are they?
Good luck to whoever hires him next, you're going to need it, listening to more of these words of wisdom.
LVG finished closer to 1st position in points. We finished second clearly because opposition had weak seasons and not because of real progression.Mate, since SAF left, Jose got us our highest league finish (as well as 2 trophies in his first season). To suggest that that was a nothing achievement is bizarre.

He might win a title in Portugal, China or Qatar, but no way he'll get another in one of the top5 leagues in Europe unless PSG or Juve go full-on dinosaur.
Trophies - Yes he stands there. Pep will surpass him easily in next 2-3 years coz Jose ain't gonna win anything soon with his outdated brand of football.

He undermines himself at every turn, doesn't he? If this squad is so inept, then how is Ole able to get us winning six in a row playing the kind of football Mourinho never once even hinted at? We even look better defensively, so there really is no excuse.A narcissist trying to out-trump Trump.

This kind of thing drives me crazy. I'm pretty sure any of us would trade our achievements of the past 3 seasons (ie. the Europa and League Cup) for the kind of run LFC had in the Champion's League.He will get another gig in the top 5 leagues easy.
If a manager like Rafa could get the Madrid job he will get another big job at the drop of a hat.
People seem to forget hes still won more in recent years than the likes of poch and klopp.
And finished second last year.
"We are not in a time anymore where the coach, by himself, is powerful enough to cope and to have a relationship of education and sometimes confrontation with players who are not the best professionals. The club must have an owner, a chief executive, a sports director and then a manager. This is a structure that can cope with all the problems that modernity is bringing to all of us. A club must be very well organised to cope with all of these kind of situations where the manager is only the manager and is not trying to keep the discipline or trying to educate the players."

Mourinho will get another big job, but I think his credit is currently lower than Benitez' pre-Madrid (of course there is no denying that Benitez to Real was just a horrible fit right from the beginning.)

So glad he's gone. Feck yeah!
We were talking titles, not gigs. And the only gigs that could give him a title in these days of modern attacking football, would be PSG and maybe Juve if Napoli lose Koulibaly and others.He will get another gig in the top 5 leagues easy.

Maybe but I’d trade our results over the past several seasons for Liverpool’s any day.No way, a runners up medal in a cup competition is worthless. Especially for a club like United.

Losing the final makes it feel bad, but it's a higher level of competition and harder to reach.No, not me.
Trophies are trophies. We went to Europa and won it, for the first time in our history. It is a good achievement.
For me a CL runners up medal is hardly anything to celebrate.
I don't think of "Oh! That run we made in CL before getting schooled by Barca" now.
