BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

Does seem like a bit of a planted story. He's said a lot of quite breaking stuff within the article given the general consensus of nearly every one of his journalistic colleagues that Mourinho-Manchester United is as good as a done deal, but leads with the innocuous title "Mourinho would work outside Premier League for next job".
Like he himself doesn't even believe what he's writing but is probably worth splurging out on the off chance he can milk it later.
I'm not sure Juan 'hugs' Mata is the mutinous type.
He is only giving an opinion
No facts there
As far as I'm aware bbc haven't followed up with anything since their initial reports
Would love if it was all BS, of course....oh how I'd laugh at the Jose fans
Can't stand that guy.
The general consensus of Sam Cunningham (Daily Mail), Matthew Dunn (Express), Dave Kidd (Mirror) and David Woods (The Star) is that one of Mourinho's mates has been going around blabbing that it's a "done deal". That's not really the same thing as it actually being a done deal, and that bunch hardly constitutes "nearly every one" of the press pack.
The only person who has actually said it's a done deal is this Di Marzio character, who now seems to be rowing back on those twitter comments in bizarre fashion.
Sounds about right I reckon.
Second season. First season he spent parking the bus and boring the shite out of everyone.
And complaining about not having a proper number 9. Just wait until he gets dealt Rooney..
As well as shipping off some potentially excellent players like Lukaku and De Bruyne.
Sells Lukaku, spends season whining about lack of striker.....
Both wanted to leave though. He didn't want to sell them. Lukaku even said it himself.
Just like us with Pique and Welbeck.
Sounds like José is already going around telling people the job is his in the Summer. On one hand he's saying that but in the press he's saying the opposite, that he respects his former mentor LVG and won't discuss it while he's still clinging on.
Sums up the man for me, and why we should avoid the circus he'd turn us into.

Ok well here's two more Mourinho-Manchester United stories published tonight alongside Jackson's

Seem a little more positive than Jamie Jackson no?
There's also multiple, multiple reports from reliable outlets all across Europe that say Mourinho is going to Manchester United. Of course it's not literally a done deal, most likely that has to happen after Van Gaal is no longer manager as having two managers doing the same job might lead to problems. And not every journalist is going to be saying this is happening, there are quite a lot of journalists out there in the world so the chance of total unanimity is mathematically slim. But there can be general consensus that it's going to happen.
Arent any papers out denying the whole thing?
Been reading Big Ron's book and it is interesting what he has to say about Sir Bobby. Apparently, Sir Bobby was the one who tapped up Ferguson at the Mexico World Cup in 1986, months before Atkinson was fired. Sir Bobby holds more sway than he is currently credited for, and is not quite the person his public persona would have you believe...
Jamie Jackson ain't even a journalist- he's just some bellend who tagged on to a gaurdian christmas party one year whilst out drunk , befriended one of the journos and they can't get rid of him- he just sits in the cleaning cupboard with his laptop.
Same..
This is going to go on and on until Mourinho gets a new job, or LVG is sacked. Bottom is, most likely, same as with Moyes. No top four equals the sack, which would open the door for Mou.
Stop the denial.. Mourinho is our next manager! This sounds like the transfer thread negativity.
Poor Mata though.
Poor Mata though.
From what I'm reading, I'm starting to feel if Mourinho is appointed, it might be over the objections of some club advisers, possibly Ferguson and Charlton. It might entirely be Woodward's decision (with Glazer blessing).
I just hope we get him in the summer, no doubt all this talk will upset van Gaal and his family but even though its just speculation at the moment the papers need to sell and United news guarantee they do. As for Louis he must be delusional to think he has done a good job in his 19 months so far so must surely accept he is on borrowed time. Plus surely it is up to the club to deny these stories, people blaming Jose for leaking what the papers are reporting because they dont like the man but at all other times the blame lies on the reporters when saying stuff they dont agree with. The irony.
I guess that's where we differ. In my view we've seen the club decline so at this present time it's results which count and the style of football should come second. I honestly believe with Jose, United will get their Mojo back.
It's only a done deal if we fail to get in the top 4...
... Right so it's a done fecking deal then isn't it!

If I were Juan I'd already have been on the phone to my agent by this stage.
So the next poll in caf is going to be
"Will you be happy to finish outside top 4 so that Jose can come in?"
"Will you be happy to finish outside top 4 so that Jose can come in?"
I don't feel top four has anything to do with this. United and van Gaal will probably come to a mutual agreement (if they haven't already) to part ways come what may at the end of the season.
Not a single source for anything in that, not even a vague 'according to sources', just a load of statements presented as fact based on absolutely nothing...... by Jamie Jackson.
Jamie Jackson can feck off. I'll be fuming if he ends up being right.
He probably will have, as halve of our squad.
Agree to this. We have a half spine at present. Bring in a new Centre half alongside Smalling and a power house midfield type along with Kane then that spine is pretty much complete.
I don't want Mourinho since I believe he'll feck us up big time. And no I never was anti-Mourinho or something like that. However if the decision of us getting top 4 or not depends on getting Mourinho we are in worse managerial shape than I thought. That would be opportunistic mismanagement. LvG is not a better or worse coach nor will he chance whether he gets top 3-6.
Well they've gotten us 4th place and currently 5th. Maybe half of them need to leave.
That might actually be the case but to be fair anyone who thought it was a good idea to have David fecking Moyes replace Alex Ferguson is probably best not consulted on future managerial appointments anyway.
Maybe, maybe not. Thing is, all these Mourinho "hittlists" will hurt us more than gain us. And with another bad PL finish I wonder if we are able to attract some decent quality to replace them.
You have really no idea, do you?
As much as I don't really like Jackson, he does know some stuff, and his report is far more believable that the crap that was printed the other night , where the close friend turned out to be a blabbing Harry Redknapp.
Jackson said we pulled out to sign Kroos and Fabregas, he took a load of stick but he was right.
I'm not saying Jose won't be our next manager, he probably will be IMO, but a strong finish to the season from Van Gaal would change everything.
