Really?
How would it be any easier to disprove than him saying he has no agreement?Well he might be but that would be a pretty stupid lie that's easy to disprove so I'd doubt it.
Off topic and I'm not sure why I'm remembering this, but I remember someone made a thread saying that we never sign players on Sunday's, then we went and got Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger and Darmian (I think) on the very next Sunday
I think it was that Sam, who's now banned for some reason.
Sunday is our signing day. Mou to United this Sunday, heard it here first.

Well the club is currently saying they have no agreement. So if he started saying they do then some journalist would probably ask us? At which point his foolproof deception falls apart.
Also it would be a stupid thing to lie about. Why on earth would he start saying he has the job when he doesn't?
The difference here is,we have a man who wants to sign for Utd.
I bet if PSG offered more money he would still want to be the next Utd boss.
The panic in this thread at the thought of Jose not joining United is hilarious.
Anything that even remotely hints it's not a done deal is ridiculed and summarily dismissed! The Caf intelligentsia know better!
Well... when you think about keeping LVG.... the panic is real.
I think my location is pretty apt nowadays.
Why is it hilarious? If he does not join us for whatever reason and we are stuck with LVG, we all better really panic. Like we are sinking in quicksand type panic.
I've joined you.
That's what I have been hoping for. Probably my only interest in tonight's game if i'm being truthful. Iv seen people literally giving their tickets away all over the place for it. Tonight will be an all time low Premier League attendance for us I reckon.
It's the Thiago saga all over again
Do he write on his coffee cup?It's the Thiago saga all over again
‘Nos Vemos en Manchester'
What a bunch of donkeys on that channel.
We're at crisis level 2. Hold tight, it's gonna get bumpy.
yeah ...ha ha ha
Can't wait for us to finally win our first trophy post-SAF and get some clarity regarding our manager for next season.
Then we can move on to speculation about transfers.
Then we can move on to speculation about transfers.
Seeing LVG leave will be a much bigger win for us than the FA cup.
Cant wait for Jose to get here.
Yes it is rather funny.
This is only the 3rd season after SAF. So it is a rough patch of 2-3 years in our long history. It's not like we are bottom half of the table. Things take time. Even if Jose doesn't come we will have another, I don't know who but the club is pretty well-run.
Hence I find all these high strung emotions rather hilarious.

I'd go as far as saying that if Mourinho hasn't signed by the end of today, he might not sign tomorrow either.
My feelings exactly. Some of the fans complaining now were excited about our chances before the season started. United fans have always been cynical but the current generation fans are cynical to the point of self destruction.
There's always a chance it isn't a done deal. Literally anything can happen right? An illness, a change of mind, an accident, whatever, etc. The management has a plan in place obviously so just wait and see.
Well he's going to stay for just one more year even if true. Maybe it gets worse maybe it gets better. Did anyone expect Chelsea to go bottom half after being champions? Did anyone expect Leicester to be champions?
See above. I still don't see why the need for panic. And sinking? All depends on your perspective.
Maybe.We need him.
I'm panicking.
I'm sure plenty of Liverpool fans thought the same way as you a few decades ago.
What do you mean things take time ? We shouldn't have ever fallen to 7th in the first place and the 4th and 5th place finishes are substandard as well. In our current state, there is no sign that we will win the league or CL or consistently play attractive football, which is why this summer is so critical.
People keep saying "did anyone expect Leicester to be champions?" like it proves the league is massively unpredictable. Despite the fact for about 20+ years before that it has been possible to predict the top 4 every season with 95% accuracy.
This season has been a freak, an anomaly, that doesnt mean from here on in the PL is a crapshoot.

That's true. And I don't know Liverpool history well enough to judge whether they had a plan 3 decades ago or not so I can't comment.
All I see is that the club is well-run, we have a good balance of the football sentimentalism and commercialism.
Champions, 7th, 4th, 5th(?) - we lost possibly the best manager in the world, the seasons that followed don't seem to have a trend right? Is 7th the blip or is 4th the blip? I don't know.
While you say that, the league from top 4 below have never been so rich. The rest of the league is stronger than ever before, so it's more likely for stuff like this to happen in the future. Perhaps not win it outright, but I think more teams will push into the top 6 regularly on and off.
it's just stereotypical caf/media nonsense trying to justify the PL as a mighty, unpredictable, competitive league like no others in Europe can possibly hope to be, to try and make up for the fact that the quality has declined so massively and right now it's not at the level of La Liga, quality wise.
there's no evidence to suggest that's true.
I'd say all that's happened so far with that extra money, and will continue to happen, is that the rest of the league have/will paid/pay more money than they used to for the same quality of players as before. Expect to see £30m+ paid by these clubs for players that used to cost £10m.
Hmm... players take time to mature, manager takes time to implement his plan, club takes time to develop academy, new players take time to settle in new league, young players take time to hit their potential, people take time to make decisions, etc etc..... everything takes time.
Did Leicester have a right to finish top this year? I don't know if we ever have a right NOT to fall to 7th. Why shouldn't we have fallen to 7th, really? Just because we were champions the year before? How about Chelsea this year then?
Point is, perhaps this summer is critical, but it seems to me like every summer is critical in some way or another. Some summers it was because our midfield was shit, some time it was because we had no striker, at others it was because we had lack of defenders, etc etc.
So many things are just blown out of proportion.
I remember the arrogant dismissals of fans that thought Moyes couldn't take us out of the top 4 as it was impossible for United to fall, 3 seasons on we are still as shit and other teams are making moves to improve, yet some still think we'll just waltz back to the top table when it suits us. We need to make some big changes this summer, the most crucial of which is to appoint a proper manager after two absolute steaming turds.
Agree. Isn't there a statistic that showed a correlation between wages and league success?
But then you can not deny that 3, 4 , 5 or whatever Sigma events can take place. Also wasn't there some article several years back that Leicester poured a load of money to invest in the club? Maybe this was the return on investment and not as random as thought?
Compared to other top leagues, it IS unpredictable and highly competitive. Is that not obvious? The difference in quality of the top teams is also patently obvious. Is that hard?
Well, there really is. A few years back teams at the bottom were getting spanked by 6,7,8 goals quite regularly. Some matches you would be very confident of winning before the game even started. Now in the league anybody can turn up and win. Relegated Newcastle just smashed 1 of the better teams in the league with 10 men! that wouldn't have happened a few years back.
