So half of one season sums him up as manager vs his entire record in football management? odd.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
TBF you have Ronaldo, Benzema & Higuain being set up be Ozil & Di Maria you will score goals for fun, @ Man utd we have nobody scoring and nobody setting anyone up
If United were never interested in Mourinho will you still be posting pictures that take half of the screen and call other drama queens ?All you drama queens about how he 'doesn't have the Man United dignified personality' etc, pls see exhibit A (from previous post in this thread):
Here's something for you since the discussion is somehow about pics from the internets.
He was shite but won the league?
errr no, this is to point our the hypocrisy and frankly rose-tintedness of some that want some diplomat in charge, but forget the 'bad boys' (and even the boss) we have had in the past.
Anyway we're gonna turn him off from joining us aren't we? 
https://www.redcafe.net/threads/man...inning-of-our-liverpool-esque-decline.414172/ - Take a look at this and tell me how we should measure levels of drama.
Past or present tense? Which timeline are we talking about here.
not sure what you want me to comment?
He was shite last season but still won the title?
You don't have to comment on anything but glad you took time to check it out.
Suggest you stay in touch with reality. The last I checked he was sacked for being utter shite.
It used to be great having a manager all rivals hated rather than a complete laughing stock.
Okay, so a bad year is what defines him. Is LVG shite?
Just to confirm who's your choice again?
Yay, changed my vote.
and your choice again?
@Paz , I suggest you stop quoting everyone who posts on this thread. We all know you have gone Colonel Kurtz with your love for Jose.
Get him in, give him half a season head start.
*love for United and want anything to ensure they succeed
Dude, I get it. You love Jose. It's pretty fecking clear. Get over yourself!
Just saw Jose walking around Sloane Street 
Think he had just come out of the gym, looked pretty pissed off for some reason.

you are so tedious! Who do you want again?And you do realise other people can have another opinion (frankly based on facts at that!) right?
Maybe we want what's best for the club rather than being obsessed with our personal views based on non-footballing thoughts.
Simeone first choice and someone mentioned Conte in alternatives thread... this could be a not a bad choice.
Too early for Giggs imo but knowing our board he's the real favorite.
I love Jose.He is the best option I think, it had to be between him and pep and thinking about it, he is just as talented as pep but also knows our league. I like how (if rumours are to be believed) he is eager to manage us too.
Our fans will take to him if were winning matches and trophy's.

So let's get this straight, you think a non-English speaking, single country experienced Simeone > Mourinho?
and Conte - what's he done again? ps. are we talking about the same guy with the 'match fixing scandal' over him?
Mourinho - Chelsea manager twice. Not gonna happen, a bit similar story to Ancelotti.
If Mourinho will become our manager I'll be okay with that except the fact that he had terrible season not only from a football perspective.
Don't want him, can't stand him but don't have any choice now because we are backed into a corner. He's a better manager than pep tho for what it's worth, I just prefer peps style of play hugely.
For those people saying "why is he not in now"... Maybe because he's not a fecking idiot who takes over this team mid season. I don't care how much he wants the job no way he would take it mid season becuase he would immediately be settup for failure.
The way I see it is that LVG is only staying till the summer and the board want to maintain a view that Manchester Utd are not a sacking club, and I admire that stance in the modern game. (Admiration is different to agreeing tho). I firmly believe that Utd knew pep was going to city as its been a poorly keep secret if we are honest and so I think they will have been contact with a number of managers, Mourinho being one of them.
Can we just try and keep the meltdown to a minimum, city have proved feck all yet and people are already praising the land they walk on. Probably the same people that said that that Chelsea team of last year was one of the greatest teams ever! Success comes and goes in cycles and we will return to the top sooner rather than later I'm sure so chill, have a beer and enjoy the ride.

He's had a shite season, but that doesn't automatically make him a shite manager. I'm very, very wary about the prospect of bringing him in, but he's probably still the best option available currently.
I've had time to let the Pep appointment sink in, and here's the conclusion I've come to. You may not agree:
I want to see us back as the most hated club in the country. Where referees get pressurised when they make mistakes, time wasting is pointed out, players are defended, press conferences take place with the manager asserting an air of authority - not with journalists saying what they want and essentially heckling the manager. I want the manager out of his seat, living every ball kicked on the sideline. I want the opposition to know that the manager is aware of their strengths and weaknesses, where games are tailored to the weaknesses - not the same dreary bullshit every week. I want mind games with the opposition manager, with them second guessing what our manager will do.
Mourinho will offer us all of the above, and more. He's been there, done it and worn the T-shirt. He can be Pep's Kryptonite.
He wants the job and has coveted it since he won the CL with Porto. Come on Woody, what are you waiting for?

Apologies I don't understand that bit.
We would appoint him earlier if we would be seriously interested. I have reasons to believe he's not our choice list, that being said I may be surprised if we'll lose few matches more and somebody will do something about things in United so far looks like somebody in our club is sticking to LvG or simply doesn't trust Mourinho.
Ah right, just huge assumptions and opinions. Cool got it!
I understand your perspective and I share the same concern for not wanting to go with Jose. He is a bigger risk than a safe bet especially after last season. I am tired of us spending way too much money and hiring new manager every few years. I just can't get behind that as a business model.
Still better than posting plethora of pictures from SAF era and calling people drama queens.
So far nothing on Mourinho being our future manager. That must be a real drama here.
That's ultimately how football clubs operate. We were lucky with Fergie; we're probably not going to consistently find long-term, successful managers. And despite the risks Jose brings, he's probably a lot less risky than many other options.
Grow up.
