I'm trying to decide if that's classless from Mendes or brilliant as it allows me to enjoy the FA Cup win even more wholeheartedly. Great send off.
It's classless. Regardless of whether it's a great send off, the fact it's come from Mourinho's party means it's completely classless. And they're supposedly friends?

It was blatantly Mourinho's people. Sky said they understand Mendes will fly in on Tuesday.

Maybe lacking in class a bit, but I don't give a shit. Van Gaal has brought this on himself.

The Special one at Old Trafford at last. Buzzing.

Next season will be interesting.

How is that not tasty? Delicious, even.
It would be just a routine. Winning Pep's City and Conte's Chelsea would be tasty. Defeating Arsenal would be boring considering that it will be the most predictable match of the season.

Can't imagine anyone spare Martial would be safe. This is a guy who sold Lukaku and De Bruyne.
Potentially but he's also trying to prove he is 'different' and has a point to prove. Also he knows after here his options are very limited if he fecks up

Well, I thought Jose and van Gaal were on good terms. Thought his agent would have been a bit more respectful. I shudder to think how long they would have waited if we lost the final .

To be expected. Mourinho and his people are classless dicks.

I don't like VG as much as the next person, but atleast let him enjoy the cup win. There's plenty of time tomorrow to discuss the future.
Yup agree 100%

Why couldnt they even wait 24 hours?

No class at all

Well I hope not. Then again I would want him to sell/loan out CBJ and TFM but I'll bet he does.
Mourinho was not scared to give Balotelli and Santon a chance at Inter but he does like to sign a lot of ready made players to build a solid core.

The club isn't blameless though. The club should have let LVG know as soon as the decision was made. If Mourinho's camp know to leak it, LVG should already know as well.

Mourinho is not an idiot though. He won't sell De Gea unless there is some clause.

He also wanted Shaw at Chelsea, and the world isn't blessed with many good left backs. Rashford might be in danger though.

No doubt there are some from Bluemoon reading this. So my message. He is better than Pep, and you fecking know it

Imagine a City fan saying this is classless announcing a new manager is set to take over at a later date at the end of the season, as opposed to say... January? Theyre shitting it.
I think we should leave imaginary arguments with imaginary rival fans to RAWK.

They're not, but it's his camp at fault. They're the ones who have leaked the information. Very hard to disassociate them from the blame.

Jose and van Gaal seem to be on good terms. Mendes is a snake though and does what he wants as long as it benefits him.

Notice he's never at one club for long. He's a short term fix only.
It's definitely a pattern in his management career however two of those clubs are certainly not 'normal' in terms of how they handle their managers.

Inter of course he was great and left for Madrid.

I meant our younger, youth type players.
