Jose wants to return

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I completely understand but Mourinho was getting criticised for the loss by the media and was defending himself based on prior results. Sevilla had just come from winning 3 Europas in a row.
Also you mention Sevilla's performances since. Since Mourinho's reign we were knocked out by them in the 19/20 Europa league semi finals and again last season in the Europa league quarter finals. Both times Ole and ETH weren't criticised as much as Mourinho was, by fans or by the media.
Wtf
He didn't need sacking.
The fact you're saying this too.The fact your saying this
Some people think they know it all.Not even funny.
No way Jose...
Be careful what you wish for. If he comes in he could very easily end up getting us into the CL spots and go from interim to main man
I do actually think he'd fit better with our current squad than the squad he had when he was here though. Season's fecked anyway so I'd take him as a caretaker for a few months while we assess.
Shades of Evans coming back to United to be a starting CB
So what you are saying is that it is inevitable?
He is finished
Did he need more money to buy a yacht or something?
People have short memories.The fact people aren't against this
Let's go.
I like the guy but he was finished after the way it went at Real and second stint at Chelsea. He's damaged goods.
Just wish he'd followed after Fergie, would have kept us competitive at least for a couple of seasons when he was in his prime.

Football is crap, so at least we will have some entertainment off the pitchThe fact people aren't against this
TBF as an interim until the end of the season and a guarantee of going no further, give us some fight in the league and go for the fa cup, I'd be ok with it. I'm tired of seeing Ten Hags football and I already see this as a similar situation to Rangnicks end where there the games are glorified friendlies. I'm ok with anyone in as interim to be clear.
His comments after the Sevilla game were so stupid and disrespectful to the club that it's probably burned all bridges, and Scott McTominay has already admitted that it got toxic under him, so if there's any sense at the top they won't touch him.
Probably if he expressed any degree of self awareness or contriteness about those issues I'd have him back. But that clearly will never happen. And we already have a disciplinarian at the club in Ten Hag, why swap out for another more self serving one.
But all that said he was absolutely right about the various players he slated at the club, and it felt at the time like the hierarchy sided with them over him when he went - as he said himself though, how can you tell someone that has 300million followers what to do? How do you deal withal that?

What playey they overspent on? Probably the entire squad in summary:
Rome spent €173 mill on wages and €56 mill on player amortisation, €229 mill in total. Only Inter and Juve spent more in Serie A. Despite coming 6th. Historically, Roma has also been outspent by Milan and Napoli, but both teams have cut back. So you would think Roma would improve. But they did not.
In fact, Mourinho have the worst point per game of any coach at Roma since 2013. Behind a fee very averages coaches like di Fransesco, Rudi Garcia and Fonseca. Way behind a guy like Spaletti.
And yes, the average age of the squad have shot up. Roma have gone from having one of the youngest squads in Serie A to one of the oldest.
In other words, Jose Mourinho failed even at a significantly lower level than the PL. Not even with a team where he was expected to win. He failed taking a team that was spending like a top three team from being a top six team to a top three team.
If this is true of Jose, then it was very unprofessional of him. ETH is still in a job FFS
No. It has to be done this way.
I actually think he’s going to either Barca or Madrid, whichever one Klopp turns down
Nah. Some guy named Ten Hag is in that job.
I actually wouldn't mind this, but I totally get why no one else would ever want this
No way. He will go and manage an international team or in Saudi.
Ha no way would be pretty stupid from the club
No, please no.
Same. I like Mourinho, and i've pretty much resigned ourselves to being shit at this point, so at least it'll be entertaining.I actually wouldn't mind this, but I totally get why no one else would ever want this
Jose should make a new football heritage video with the latest updates.
Roma had to be his last job at a top club. It’s Saudi or a national team job next.
The Special Janitor.
I know he is past his best. But feck it.
I'm no Jose fan but with proper backing he still can do it. But I don't want him at United though.
Imagine the new CEO presenting Jose as the man to take us back to top ?

He could easily go in at Madrid and do what Ancelotti has done. He was finished as well, languishing in mid table with Everton before Perez took him back.
He’d probably do well with a side that’s already good, I just wouldn’t trust him to rebuild one - never mind one as problematic as ours.
Do we need a translator
The U.K press certainly want such a disaster to occur....
Martinez would be a beast with him as manager!
On 7 August 2016, Mourinho won his first trophy, the FA Community Shield, beating reigning Premier League champions Leicester City 2–1.
Mourinho's United reached the final of the EFL Cup by virtue of a 3–2 aggregate win. Manchester United won 3–2 over Southampton in the EFL Cup Final at Wembley. With the victory, he became the first United manager to win a major trophy in his debut season.
On 24 May 2017, Manchester United won the Europa League courtesy of a 2–0 win over Ajax. This was Mourinho's second major trophy of his first season as Manchester United manager. It also maintained his 100% record of winning every major European Cup final as a manager.
United also lost the 2018 FA Cup Final to Mourinho's former club Chelsea after an Eden Hazard penalty sealed a 1–0 win for the Blues
Just to jog the memory.

Yes, he's an arrogant man but with good backing he's not a bad manager is he?!

I don't quite understand why he gets so much hate around here as he has been the best manager you've had since SAF retired. That being said you guys shouldn't appoint him back at all.
The feck are people on wanting him back?
Love Jose, but not as our manager. When he left it was a mess. The game has moved on too - he's no longer an elite manager. Wish him all the best though.
