I love Mourinho. There I said it....

Reminds me of Fergie in the 90s. Doesn't give a feck about anyone, wants success and will step over anyone to get it and doesn't give a shit who he offends to get it.
 
Pop me in that category too. I won't lie, I am a fan of Mourinho, despite his antics and always have been. I'm trying HARD not to get excited....

On the basis that anyone's better than the current incumbent, I'm in too...
 
A welcome video? This is a done deal! Off to get my Mourinho overcoat.

That'll do :) I don't like Guardiola, so it works for me that he's at City (from a rivalry and dislike point of view, I mean) and if we get Mourinho, the eyes of the footballing world will be on Manchester next season. Coupled with the money that will be flying around, it should ensure that a few big names will want to play for one of these two clubs and be a part of it also. Could potentially be very exciting.....the polar opposite of this season.

Sounds like a non-story to me. Like Mourinho actually has friends.
 
The Beeb don't put a story on the front page of their sport section with 2 journos name on it without having very concrete source.

It happened. Of course, nothing is certain in life save for death and taxes, but it's very likely Jose Mourinho will be our manager next season.
 
Pochettino dream is dying. :(

That was always unlikely, we just can't afford to get it wrong again. Mourinho is the lowest risk option right now, it's what the club needs right now.
 
The good thing is he can analyse what we need and get working with Mendes on what we need without affecting the team. If he hasnt already contacted transfer contacts then id be surprised.
Negative is he needs LVG to get us CL football to entice our first choice targets to come here.
 
The idea of Mourinho coming is exciting, but I hope it is under the agreement that he will carry on bringing through youth and playing attacking football

I'd hate to see a player like Mensah end up a great at another club. Like Pogba.

Never done it in over a decade even when he promised Abromovich he would. There's little hope we will change.

I think it's part of the reason he was sacked, by all accounts Abramovich is desperate to see the academy kids given a chance and goes to all the youth games.

Has Hiddink been playing any of the young lads?

Don't really care what he does as long as he brings trophies. It's all good as long as that happens no?

Thats the worry but Id hope Ed would tell him that its a job requirement otherwise we'll look elsewhere

We are the club that has had a youth player in every squad in my life. I'd like to think it's a job requirement
 
We should get Jose for a few years and then get Poch in after. The sort of Van Gaal-Giggs idea. He sorts out our squad and gets us back winning things then Poch (who i'm sure will have won something at Spurs in a few years) comes in and plays youth and more attractive football with a strong base to work with.

What if Jose leaves our squad in disarray?
 
If true Jose is a bigger twat than I thought. He should have kept his gob shut. It is this sort of behavior which really makes me dislike him. If not true, WTF do people get out of publishing this shit. If anyone at United has leaked it they should be given the bullet. No respect shown by anyone involved.

The "friend" is Jorge Mendes. If its gotten out that Mourinho is telling people he's our new manager, its because he and his team want it out there.

So we're going to have to ask him not to throw the team under the bus, blame everyone else for his mistakes, pick fights with random staff members for doing their job or poke opponents in the eye and to play our youth players and focus on attacking football. At what point would appointing someone with a record of being able to complete those everyday managerial tasks be quicker?
