I wouldn’t be against it one day, but he would struggle massively with this squad right now.
Jose wants to return
- Thread starter FujiVice
- Start date
Unfinished business?
Is there someone associated with the club he didn't manage to hack off?
A pole between Mourinho returning or Potter as manager might be interesting.

He was certainly right about some things that he said, yeah. But I found him absolutely unbearable by the end of his reign.
There’s no way this is ever happening but I love that it’s a thing for one day only. Jose is a funny guy but he is a spent force and his football isn’t good.
I don't know what's harder to believe, the story or that some here would really want him back 
Not going to lie, seeing Jose take both himself and Manchester United back to the top would be one hell of a story...
We've been crap in Europe for thirty years tbh.
Go on.
Would be a great "All or Nothing" for the comedy club.

Will wait and watch on that.
No he simply wasn’t. He might not have won the finals we got to but his football was more entertaining than Jose and LVG. I’d rather watch an ole team every day of the week.
Ole was fecking wank. And this idea that his football was better is wank too. He had terrible lows at multiple times which some posters weirdly want to ignore.
The golden 3 month period he had when the Ole at the wheel chants were rampant just overrode what it was actually like.
Shaw and Martial are still at the club.
Only Shaw would be at the club come summer
no chance and don’t want him near the club.
We’re going in a new direction and, hopefully, a new ethos and he doesn’t tick many boxes of what we need

But the special one and the biggest club in the world falling off a cliff together would also be one hell of story... A lot would enjoy it. Manchester United and Mourinho both have a lot of people who love to see them fail.
The current squad would probably do quite well under Mourinho. Central defenders with good positioning, but little pace, attackers who can run in behind, a handful of excellent passers (Bruno, Eriksen and Mainoo). Shaw overlapping for good crosses, AWB staying back to form a back three on the counter. A goalkeeper that can hit fairly precise passes long, and a handful of decent sized midfielders. My issue isn't really what he could do with this squad, but what sort of squad he would be involved in building going forwards.
They've already fallen off a cliff to be fair.
An even deeper cliff then
Lows like Jose had. And LVG. And the guy who everyone that wanted Ole out for, has had?
What a shit post.
After 5 years of Ole and ten Hag any manager with charisma would be a breath of fresh air.
Him and his football heritage can get to feck.
0 reason to go back to Mourinho. He is on a downward trajectory, so are we. Need to look forward not backward.
Reading comments in this thread... we definitely deserve all the shit and the hole we are in, the mix of gold fish and delusion, holy shit
Where's the sensible discussion?I don't know what's harder to believe, the story or that some here would really want him back
Jose can say and think what he wants but it isn't up to him so I can't believe so many are getting their knickers in a twist.
In my opinion, I think ETH is finished so I'm open to us replacing him right now, even if it meant a controversial stop gap, such as Jose.

He's heard Martial is off
To be fair, the multiple baldy threads and the threads on the tequila bender guy also has a lot of delusion. Seems like the norm here.
The sad thing is we are a dumb enough club to hire him again.
Are you a bit pent up? Maybe you should do something to relieve yourself dude…..
feck it, let's do it 
Maybe Chelsea will go for him before we do.
Not anymore we’re not, uncle Jim is at the wheel!
Id hire him the sole task of getting rid of all the dead weight and the amusement of him having to explain it to the press.
Unfinished business? He can go to Chelsea and finish the business there as they were on the verge of relegation when they sacked him.
As for us more chance of me becoming United manager than Jose again.

Does anyone remember our playing style under him? One chance a game? We made football look harder than we do now. Imagine going back to that. It's not better than what we have currently and players are arguably worse now than back then.
It's wildThe fact people aren't against this
Omg please liberate us from this manager.
Ole was disaster. Not just because of lack results. He set up casual mentality which stuck in and can't go away.
Also, this rewriting history about his football is becoming laughable. Except first few months his football was awful. Parking the bus and waiting on counter attack. Even Jose didn't do that (except in few bigger games). Failed Cardiff manager did it every week.
Biggest difference between him and Jose were in EL finals. While Jose prepared team perfectly for Ajax game and studied every single detail, remember what Ole did?
"We didn't prepare specially for Villareal. We are Man Utd and we play our style. I told players to enjoy themselves". What a plonker
Jose coming back makes perfect sense - misery does love company, after all.
