Oh look, the Embarrassed Brigade are out in full force again.
How can you not cream yourself over one of the best managers in the world replacing a couple of dinosaurs, in Moyes and LvG.
It would be brilliantImagine a last minute winner at the Stretford end and we see this
How can anyone not want this man?The Scouse absolutely despise him and he hates them. That should be enough reason to get him in
Not be pedantic but Paris is like 350 miles away from Blancs hometown.
Don't disagree with your other points though!
It's a fecking joke.
When you look at how far the club has fallen in a short space of time, you wonder how these idiots can't see it must be down to the managerial choice. We need to get in someone to turn this ship around fast, our squad has deteriorated from when he come through, and you can see all our former players playing amazingly well at a higher level. What the hell have these transfer windows been about?

A lot of people in here are trying to read between the lines here and presuming Mourinho is saying he's not in the running because he's had no contact but I'd suggest the opposite.
Mourinho could have said "no, I've heard nothing, it won't happen", the fact he didn't dismiss the question suggests it's already done.

Sounds like something Dan Quayle would say.
BTW - for when he comes in, I'm wondering what do we think of his transfer business?
Pedro - 20 million
Baba Rahman - 15 million
Begovic - 9 million
Kenedy - 6 million
Falcao - 5 million loan
Michael Hector - 4 million
Papa Dijobodi - 3 million
Overall about 65 million pounds spent at Chelsea this year, do you think any of these might follow him to Old Trafford? How many of these type of signigns can we look forward towards?
Similarly the year before
Diego Costa - 30 million
Cesc - 25 million
Cuardardo - 25 million
Felipe Luis - 15 million
Remy - 10 million
Pasalic - 2 million
I'm wondering how much of Chelsea's 170 million pound spend we think worked out well for the club?

I am currently surviving from the comments on here from all the positive people saying he's coming here for sure.
Personally, I don't think that we'll hire him, but you guys give me hope that I'm wrong

Completely agree.
This. I have a feeling we are fecking this up.I am currently surviving from the comments on here from all the positive people saying he's coming here for sure.

I can watch that all day.
The day the Scousers let it slip.Fantastic moment in football.
Difficult to say with any certainty how much of the praise/blame for that lot lies with Michael Emenalo.
I actually think that we'd be scared/apprehensive to even consider Mourinho and that they're desperate to keep LVG for another year so that Giggs can take over and they don't have to go with Mourinho.
Why? I don't see how It's any different to Pep taking over at City this summer, except for the official announcement. It's the worst kept secret in football right now.
Same. I dislike Mourinho but it will be funny seeing the meltdowns
That makes no sense. As said on here hundreds of times now, Giggs would surely be manager now if we had any intention of giving him the job, what difference would year make?
ExactlyI'd give him the job for that alone.
The celebration, running up the sideline with the scouse seething
surely I am not the only one who loves it that Jose hates Liverpool as much as most of us United supporters do?
It doesn't interest me at all.Exactly

good for you mate
It seems a bit small time. I don't think how much "the scousers" will be wound up comes into who should be our next manager at all.
Mourinho has always been like this. I remember laughing at his claim and posting in this forum when he returned and said that he was now "the happy one". Actually it took less than i thought for him to go back to his conflictive self.
This video is from his first stint as head manager at Benfica. Has no problem going up against someone who was one of the best players at Benfica and arguably the most popular one. Mourinho had no credit, nothing to brag about and was a fairly unpopular appointment among the vast majority of Benfica fans. Even so he was genuine and it's a classic Mourinho type of rant.
You think Ferguson being small time for wanting to "knock them of their fecking perch"?
Being passionate against one of our biggest rival is a bonus, that's all I am saying.
Because Woodward and co. might be waiting to give Giggs the job once LVG's failed to qualify for CL/make top 4.
Classic Jose.
I doubt the only reason @reelworld wants Mourinho is because he hates scousers. It's merely something he likes about Mourinho, no idea how that is small time
I hope Jose buys Leroy Sane. He is so obviously the final piece of our front 3 for the current manager and any future manager.
This.
This scares me.
I believe the idea was for LVG to be a success and then Giggs would have learned at his side and have a relatively easy transition over.
Obviously, giving him the job a year early, when were failing so badly won't work as well...
It's probably not going to happen.
Oh don't bet against Woodward's stupidity.
There are people who dont like Mourinho , I think at this point, it doesnt matter.
He'll either have to back him blindly like he's done with the other manager's before, but that would be hypocritical considering all the criticism he's levelled against him.
Or he can spend Mourinho's tenure here having digs at him. Considering how great a fan he proclaimed himself just recently, and having in the past sung how fans stand by their managers, that would be hypocritical too.
Either way, I cant wait for Jose. Great manager, flawed , but so are we.
Great post and a very impressive summation from Neville on how Mourinho transformed and rebuilt the Chelsea squad to win the league within 2 years with a very competitive net spend.
Blows the myth that Mourinho cannot rebuild a squad and within a decent budget.
We won't 'feck it' up. The board will simply decide they don't want him for whatever reasons. Though I agree that decision would be fecked up.
Sir Alex's hate for Liverpool goes back to his time at Abeerden and their tie in the European cup in the early 80's.
They went to Anfield and where uttetly anihilated.
It also didnt hurt that Sir Alex absolutely despised Scouse legends Kevin Daglish and Graeme Sounes even pre-United.
That was what drove the hate. Petty? Maybe...but it knocked them off their fecking perch.
He won the the treble with Inter Milan on a net spend of £30m as well
He only really spent with Chelsea, iirc more than 500m.
