I hope he says we're gunning for everything we can straight away, no philosophy crap talk.
Mourinho's press conference
- Thread starter LawCharltonBest
- Start date
-
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 need to read to the bottom of the page before posting.
Philosophy!
One of the first(if not the first) few question would be what _____ one are you now?! For the media that would be the soundbite or headline. The _____ One!!
I hope he says.. The Man is No One..

This will be one of the most electrifying press conferences ever. An absolute blockbuster 
Half an hour coverage for a press conference. What on earth will they talk about?
I want to hear that we are not going to abandon our youth, his steps to make football enjoyable again at Machester United, a hint at another big name coming to United *cough* Pogba, his strategic intentions for achieving success, some typical Mourinho humor and perhaps who he thinks will be his main competition next season, amongst other shite.
Then when all of that is done, I want a female reporter to say to him, you were a failure at Chelsea last season, so you nothinJon snow. Mourinho.

I think he'll repeat a bit of what he already said...
Let's forget the last 3 years
Huge club, great history, morales, values
Work to do
Great base of youth and experience
He needs to further assess his squad
Don't expect miracles
We'll win the league next year
He'll be asked no doubt...
Chelsea and court case resolved?
Did u speak to Louis before your appointment, have you spoken to him since
What's plans for Rooney
Ibra..... Is he going to be starter, he's old blah blah
Have you tried the mince pies
He is a serial winner who knows how to achieve what he wants. He will get the freedom he had never had and I really expect some classic remarks tomorrow. I do not know about you guys but after the last 3 years of total sh*t we have been served I think a new era has begun and tomorrow Mou is going to say that we are going to be the greatest club in the world for a very very long time, I truly believe he will make it happen. I really cannot wait for tomorrow. Never felt like that for a very very long time...
Van Gaal was downplaying us and telling us our ambitions were too high until the very end of his reign. Even after all the failures, that was the problem and it was the same with Moyes.
I think it's fair enough to be cautious at the start though yeah.
Hope he say something blockbuster like : " future belongs to us" or "today United rise again"
He and Wooody will reveal a new official eyedrops partner
More like Official Salt Dispenser
Looking forward to what he says about the young players, namely Rashford, and their role this season. He's already alluded to their importance in stating how influential Ibrahimovic to their development and as a role model.
Exactly.
Want to hear his plans on Academy players and if he will promote and deelop some of them in the 1st Team with proper run of games not his usual 10min cameos for youth players.
Will he appoint some one with United connection as one of the coaches or he will go it alone

You certainly won't hear him downplaying the club itself, like Van Gaal used to…
About the Pogba situation—cynic mode on—, it's a win-win for Mourinho: if he doesn't get him, he can imply the club didn't give him the top best player available, how can the club expect… If he gets him, it will establish himself by correcting Ferguson's worst mistake.
He will say how important Rooney is for this club and this world and I will throw my mobile out of frustration (but only my company mobile).
He'll accidentally call Chris Smalling "Mike".
I think he will be asked about:
1. Zlatan and his role at the club
2. Rooney, his position and captaincy
3. Mhikitaryan - when will he sign
4. What is the plan for Rashford
5. What's the deal with Pogba

'The philosophy of putting 96 crosses into the box a game is a process, especially as we're the underdogs and we will win the possession even though they're the favourites and we aspire to be like them and do sex masochism, eh Steve Round?'
I'm looking forward to how he titles himself. It won't be The Special One, but I can foresee him saying something just as iconic. Everything else is just going to be standard press conference fare.
Please don't even joke about this....stranger things have happened recently!
Key statements I would like to hear tomorrow:
- I'm a winner and I came here to win
- This is the biggest challenge of my career and I'm really looking forward to it
- Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are of no concern to me. I am only interested in Manchester United
- Everyone starts with a blank slate and the hard work starts now
- The frequent use of 'we' and 'our'
- I want the players to express themselves and enjoy their football
- I hope to be here a long time and create something special
- I want to excite the fans and give them what they want, which is attacking football
- We need to bring in more players, the right players who will improve the squad
- I am looking to strenghen in all positions
I'd consider us to be strong favourites.
Koeman is the last person I'd sell to. He should consider this a hands off warning.
Football is a universal language etc...

That's fairly obvious, I'd imagine. He long spoke about United with a sort of deference. I imagine that will continue.
He'll probably downplay near term expectations a little like other posters pointed out he did with Chelsea at the start of his second stint there.
The Happy One....or The Sacked One.
Doubt he says something that will get the press rolling.
Standard press conference IMO.

I'm hoping for something a bit more epic. The Destined One or The Prodigal Son, or something. It'll be Biblical again, just like it was when he called himself Chosen. The guy's ego is massive. That's why I like him.
Doesn't really matter what he says in the press conference, United are doing it all wrong and stuck in the past.
We should be putting on a pop concert for him, big stage and banners and get Kevin Webster to interview him. Man city are leaving us behind.

Save the premature-mourination for when we win something.
As long as we don't have that cheesy thing City did with Pep, speaking to fans, I'm fine.
Don't think he will say anything particularly interesting, though I'm excited nonetheless.
"Watch Jose Mourinho's first news conference as Manchester United manager live on Sky Sports News HQ from 11am on Tuesday. Skysports.com and Sky Sports' mobile and iPad apps will also be streaming the news conference, and you can also follow with our live blog."
(From SkySports.com)
Will probably not work for us suckers located outside of the UK though.
I want him to sit there silent for the whole press conference before fireworks go off and in strolls Pogba, Ibra, Mhikitaryen and Bailly all with a separate part of the sentence feck off pep guardiola!
This is also the question, which I'd like to see answered.
