BBC: United hold talks with Mourinho

Why are we dithering over Mourinho? LVG has took this club backwards. We're absolute shite under him and it looks like we're not going to be playing Champions League football next season. Just sack LVG already and give the job to a world class manager in Jose Mourinho who will take this club forward and will most likely have us challenging for the title next season. I wasn't Mourinho's biggest fan due to some of his antics at other clubs but I couldn't give a feck now. He's a world class manager with the mentality to make this club great again. Appoint him already!
Yep, worried about this.
That was 3 seasons ago, his star has fallen. And he probably always wanted the United job.
I don't think that Juventus can afford Mourinho's wages or his ambition. They are a selling club essentially with a massive wage to turnover ratio.
Jose would want £15-20m a season with a budget of £100m.

Don't know about the wages but their team will play in CL and is arguably better than any English team. I think he'll choose United though. But he will have a very difficult taks here, probably the most difficult in his career to date.
They can barely afford to spend what he earns in a year on a single player. Last season they had to clear out and Pogba will likely leave this season.
He wouldn't betray Inter's fans by going to Juve, IMO.
But he would Chelsea by coming to us?? Surely he cares about Chelsea's supporters a hell of a lot more using that logic.
Why would he care about Chelsea fans, they're hideous.
He doesn't care as much about Chelsea, I believe.
The press.
Haven't payed that much attention but is it in today's papers he wont take the job if we miss top 4?
It sounds like he is actively trying to get LVG sacked. NOW!
That is what they are saying, but for there to be a vacancy in the first place we would have to miss Top 4.
Wow, that's some freaky logic right there: Jose won't come if we're not top 4, but LVG won't leave unless we're out of the top 4? Gives the hacks license to write whatever they please, and be proven correct whatever the outcome.
I love how you lot work yourselves up into a hysterical frenzy.
Where were we likely to finish pre-Sunderland? 5th
Where are we likely to finish post-Sunderland? 5th.
Mourinho wants to stay in England and wants Man Utd.
Man Utd want Mourinho.
Nothing has changed what. so. ever.

Hope dies a little more with each game.
It's true though, if LvG had got top 4, then they would likely let him see out his contract and we would just have to suck it up. The fact he won't get top 4 should guarantee the sack. The M.E.N. have today said Woodward and Co. were traumatised by the Moyes debacle. Traumatised. For gods sake and they are running our club. Nobody in their right minds can understand how he is still in a job. We are behaving like a midtable side who are relieved the manager has made sure we won't be getting relegated.
?
No papers have said anything of the sort. Only Castles has written a piece which says absolutely nothing new.
Isn't Castles the press?
But he was sacked. Can't blame him for moving on if Chelsea doesn't want him anymore. I think even the Chelsea fans would blame their club more than him if he did sign for us.
I meant about Mourinho not taking the job if we don't finish top 4? No one has said this.
Well he would be a twat to think that way after ruining Chelsea's season
He is currently a lower than Europa league level manager in my eyes
I once tried to end it with a girl. She wouldn't let me. So I had a new girl, who is now my wife of almost 20 years tell the old girl to get lost.
I wouldn't be too sure. They would need to pick up form and stop feeling sorry for themselves. There are clubs round us who are holding their form and actually showing some fight. If that was us at Norwich yesterday, we would have lost, West Ham made the right changes and salvaged something.
It's been insinuated. I don't actually think it would be the case. He would love to raise Manchester United from the ashes. It could be the biggest addition to his CV.
It hasn't been insinuated at all. The only way Mourinho doesn't end up here is if we choose not to appoint him.
If that is all true 2 things we know
1 - this club is not ambitious to get to the top, the fact that the board would keep VG if we some how make the top 4, even when VG has done so bad it is just the tip of the iceberg is catastrophic management from the board. The worrying part? if we win the EL, we could actually be sealing our fate by keeping this dinosaur in charge
2 - the board are the wrong people runing the club, seeing cash has trophy's says it all about the way this club is run, mediocrity is accepted if we keep making money
If reports are true they are dithering with Mourinho is a true worry, making sure until VG cant make CL football, is not only horrible way if doing things, it means no matter how bad the manager does, until we cant make the top 4 technically we keep the manager on. Boards should see patterns of the way a manager is doing bad, Christmas time should have sealed VG's fate
That conjured up an image of Phil Jones in the penalty area against Arsenal last year! There is a gif of it on the caf somewhere!edit
Broke Mourinho to Chelsea. Broke Mourinho was leaving by mutual consent. broke Mourinho not fancying Mata even before he took over. Broke Mourinh was negotiating a release on his contract at Chelsea, two weeks before they fired him. It's quite clear he's close with Mourinho and he constantly licks his arse.
Scared of what?
We were asking for Chelsea to give more time to Mourinho
You guys haven't won a trophy in forever... Of course you wanted Chelsea to give Jose more time as It wasn't working for either of them and you want to see your rivals fall. I think you know Jose will have MUFC winning again and that is a thought that scares you.
We'd better not screw this up. The circumstances are dire enough. You'd think this appointment was a no brainer, but that's exactly that Ed Woodward is. A guy without brains.
If we dont get Jose because we want to be cheap on sacking LVG then we are officaly the worst run club in world sport.
Who's this Vicente Rodriguez guy? Yet another clueless fifa agent?
I keep reading the thread title as BBC hold talks with Mourinho. I'll have to learn to read.
This was the guy who said Perez had gotten cold feet about DeGea hours before everyone knew the deal was messed. He's tight with Mendes.
