What strop is this? I've looked at his posts and can't find it. A couple of posts about the football being boring is the worst I can see. Maybe he should buy some United keyrings or something and show some intent and conviction

That's a bloody good team.
So far 80.4% of fans would be happy with Mourinho.
Do as thou will. I don't really want to get in any kind of debate in any great detail about who likes who more. For me, someone who goes to the game portrays that support more. Someone who is going to turn off the TV is no great loss to anyone. That's all there is to it. Just odd that he found himself on the receiving end of it compared to the latter. Strange times reveals strange minds.
You guys talks longetivity as if pep poch ancelotti simeone klopp ever last more than 3 years on the same club, or will stay with us for 20 bloody years.
The only way any manager can stay with us for 20 bloody years is if he won shitloads of trophy along the way.
Moyes would have stayed with us for 20 years, but without trophies he will still be sacked within a year.
Saf wasnt given 26 years because he's cut from some highlander cloth, he was given a statue because he won trophies, shitloads of it.
No manager who won nothing will stay 20 years with us, we won't want that, neither the board. Remind me how many people here wants lvg out by today?
Longetivity my arse

To be honest, it probably makes him a better supporter, by definition of the term. He actually makes the effort to go and support the team whilst dickheads like the other poster don't even think it's worth their time to switch on the TV.
I don't think the money being spent was the crux of his original point anyway, his point has just flown over your head.
Spot on.
Where did I congratulate him? He/She said something along the lines of spending more time with his kids, and I advocated that. I work a full time job, so it's important to segregate time to all aspects of my life, which is why I said I was thinking about missing the game, but I didn't. Like I said, I haven't missed a game and don't intend on doing it. Please stop making shit up.
He said he watched the game.
If the point is going to games means you care more about the team/club I don't agree with that either. You have people on the other side of the world who wake up at like 3AM to watch us.
Agree. Longevity is simply not a thing in modern football, unless of course you want to be successful and win/compete each and every season. Too many of our fans are stuck in the past with Fergie and his longevity with us. I posted this in a thread on Reddit the other day - SAF was the best. We'll probably never see a man-manager of his ilk ever again. The way he motivated players and commanded respect was incredible.
We were incredibly fortunate to have him as our manager for so long. The level of prosperity and stability that we had under him was so unusual in the history of football, pretty much an anomaly.
If we can have Mourinho for three years and win a few trophies, then I will be more than happy with that.
Good job your opinion means very little then isn't it.
Sir Alex wasn't the norm, he was an exception. I don't know why people expect some manager to come here and stay for 10+ years. It won't happen, get over it! If Mourinho comes here and we win a league title and a good run in the champions league I'm happy.
wow.. Martial was a Mendes client
. He is more useful for his connections to the best up and coming talents.. that is where we really need his help.Yep, same here.
Misguided enough, as it turned out. But still, who can blame us? The way I saw it, it was Fergie's last, big move. Hard to take a step back and let cold reason prevail under those circumstances.
WTF I've only just heard about this.
Anyone else reporting this besides the beeb?

Have not seen Sky do a Johnny come late with this one
Di Marzio, Marca, El Confidencial and a few other non English sources.
A lot of reputable media sources in England, Spain and Italy reporting it.
Something so simply but hard for some to understand.
Rodriguez, Bernardo Silva and Neves would all be 100% worth getting.
Started with reports in Portugal, then France, Italy, and Spain. Shortly after the beed and other English sources got in on the action, so it looks legit.
Most of the British press (the tabloids and the proper papers) are covering the story.
It's on like a mother fecker!
MourinhON!
Indeed.
And in this day and age, virtually no manager on the planet will stay at the same club, long term (either the club will ask him to go, or he will want to leave, or both).
The days of a manager staying for decades is gone. I think Wenger is one of the last ones left.
Why is there nothing about this on the Sky Sports website? Serious question.
Aye. And it is a bit silly to compare watching a match in person to a stream on a device.
They're probably in denial/offended since the bbc was first.
There are so many aspects of Mourinho I dislike:his personality, his lack of youth promotion, his abundance of hubris, the way he conducts himself, his burnout.
Then there is the aspect of Mourinho I really like: he wins trophies.
I've softened to the thought of him becoming manager because we need someone in charge that can return a ruthless attitude towards winning. As a club, we need to be in a cup final or in with a realistic chance of winning the league. History says Mourinho guarantees that.
What worries me most is where we're going generally as a club and who's coming after Mourinho. I don't think we have definitive leadership internally at the club and seem content to lurch from one manager to the next devoid of a coherent transfer policy and are falling off the pace of the professionalism with which Man City run their club.
So let's give Jose the job; let him bring some silverware back to OT, but in that time before he sparks and fades out, the club have to identify a candidate that fits with the values of the club - whatever it is they believe Manchester United stands for at this point in time.

It's on there. Not the main story but its there...

Wow. I don't think that even the BBC reported that part of the story.
Why are you guys acting like th Last year's of SAF 's reign was not influenced by flipping Mendes. He sorted the majority of our signings. He only went missing under Moyes.
Basically he's never really left us.
Wow, shocking news if true.
Don't like Mourinho, don't know if he would be a success here, would we play more exciting football? Didn't like the dross that United served up from October till the last couple of games either.
Not convinced either that Pep will be an overwhelming success at City .
Not voted yet.
Couldn't sit on the fence any more than that.
Just want us playing good football and winning trophies again, not too much to ask is it?

The only players who deserve to be in our team are ones good enough, if the kids aren't good enough, why should they play? Sure Jose has no problem using youth players that can help him and the team achieve the main goals of winning things. But if they're not good enough? I'd rather they didn't play just for the sake of it.
You're only still around because Van Gaal remains. Had he not been manager you wouldn't be here. They would want a manager sacked if they thought he was the wrong choice. Just because you believe Van Gaal is doing great things for our future doesn't mean everyone does and should agree. Nobody has been able to tell us exactly what it is he's leaving behind. We're unbalanced in most positions still.
I think it's great the lengths that those people go to in order to watch the games. But I'm talking about actually supporting the team and giving up hard earned cash and time to do so. Especially during such a shite period for the club. Twigginater obviously does that and I think it's ridiculous for him to have any level of criticism levelled at him.
What do the Chelsea fans feel about this? Mou wanting desperately to manage one of your main rivals and what happens if he does end up getting the job? @duffer Any other Chelsea fans?
