Unless you actually show us these quotes from Mourinho where he claims to have been told of SAFs retirement by the man himself months before everyone else knew it, you are deemed to be talking utter shite.
Which is nothing new.

Why do you assume Fergie told Mourinho? What reason do you have for lending these claims any credibility other than it suiting your agenda in this thread.
Fergie is on record as saying he took the decision and that he kept it from close family. He's also on ford as saying Moyes was his choice. Sir Bobby also said he didn't like Mourinho.
Despite all of this, yes, Mourinho turned us down.
You expect Sir Alex pst retirement to come out and deny stuff to the media everytime someone lies about something?
Ferguson, also on record, has given a contrary version of events.
Maybe, now he's retired, Fergie doesn't give a feck about point scoring and correcting Mourinho's inaccuracies?
Mourinho did say he knew months ago. He didnt directly say that Sir Alex told him though. He said am his friend, so I knew. Just as Sir alex knew about him wanting to only go to chelsea as he was his friend.
On June 15th Mourinho was reported as saying: "“I knew that Ferguson was retiring many months ago”
Exactly. He's finished now - why would he give a stuff?
Case closed. He must definitely be telling the truth.
Mourinho has been a bastion of truth and straight talk over the years.
I do remember Mourinho saying that, but in the same interview he said he wasn't offered the United job, and he would have turned it down for Chelsea.
My name choice was as a result of marriage, sorry to disappoint. However, I would happily be called Moyes' Man as I thoroughly rate the guy.
In fact, I wouldn't care less if my name was changed to Moyes' Bum Chum, at least I wouldn't get quoted in the Daily Star.
Well, there's no evidence that he's lying. On the contrary, why would he say something that he knew Fergie might publicly deny if were not true? It's not credible that he would do that.

Though your likelihood of being quoted in the Sun would multiply.
According to Earthquake's post, Mourinho also claimed he wasn't offered the job. But carry on...
No, he didn't say that.
What's your point? Fergie told Maureen he was retiring, ergo we offered Maureen the job (which he then turned down)? I don't get your logic.
Maureen was never going to get that job. The most influential members of the board never wanted him. I don't see it as impossible that Fergie may have dropped a hint to Maureen, but that doesn't indicate in any way we wanted him to take over.
Yes he bloody did.

He said he would have turned the United job down.
In any case, he's not going to say anything else, is he?
And Bale is a totally unwilling victim of this, doing everything he can to stay aboard the 'AVB project' eh? Total commitment, as you pointed out with the " this and we that". lawlzies.
Exactly.
Charlton said this back in December 2012: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/dec/07/bobby-charlton-jose-mourinho-manchester-united
#MourinhoRejectedUnited.
Moyes knew Fergie was retiring months ago too.
It's nice that Glaston has something to cling on to in the last few days he has of Bale being a Spurs player.
Now you have excelled yourself. I went out with the dogs to get some sanity back into my life and I came back to this Storey wannabe.
Your credible rumours are all in your head, like most of your diatribe.
Moyes has been Fergie's first choice for a very long time. Mourinho was never offered the job.
If you are going to be a WUM, try be clever about it. If your serious, you need to find a women, an understanding one.
There was another interview about the same time, IIRC after his first press conference, where he was asked "Did he feel disrespected(or rejected, I can't remember the exact term used), not being offered the United job", and he replied "No, I only wanted Chelsea anyway".
At this point, if he was offered the United job, he surely would have said so.
Mourinho has a monumental ego. If he was offered the United job and he turned it down, he'd be chomping at the bit to tell everyone about it.
Exactly, if he had, he'd love it, and he'd be bigging it up as much as possible, as would every Chelsea fan ever.
Saying he would have turned down the job, is not the same as he saying that he wasn't (informally) offered it. As I've already said, why else would Fergie tell him months ahead of time that he was retiring if not to informally and unofficially sound him out about the succession, or at the very least to plant the idea in his mind?
But if Mourinho wanted, as he says, to go to Chelsea, and made this clear to Fergie (again as he said), then things would never have reached the stage of an official and formal job offer because, once again as he says, he would have turned it down.
Oh yes? Do tell.
Numpty.Did you feel the need to try a distraction? Once again a total politician's answer. On the subject of name change, how about Nick Clegg for you. A clueless, yellow twat that never gives a straight answer.
feck me, you're clutching now.
All you have is a quote from Mourinho saying he would have turned it down, and you're turning that into a rejection.
What we do have is one of the most influential men in United's history, as far back as December 2012, saying that he didn't think much of Mourinho's carry-on, yet you happily dismiss that out of hand.
He pretty much did tell everyone about it by strongly hinting at an informal sounding out by Fergie. The fact that no formal offer was made is pretty much irrelevant.
OMG. What a wanker!
Ultimately, we'll never know who's telling the truth. What we know is:
- Charlton, as far back as December 2012, put the boot into Mourinho (doesn't strike me as the sort of thing he'd do if he thought there was a chance he'd be a United manager any time in the future);
- Ferguson saying Moyes was his choice;
- Mourinho saying he'd have turned the job down.
You choose to believe Mourinho on the basis on it suiting your agenda. Cool.
He wouldn't have turned it down.
Next you'll be claiming his comments were a clear indication Fergie admitted to being behind the JFK assassination.
You're having a laugh, I hope. Not the greatest of WUMs, but a decent enough effort.
Glaston's new tagline. What an idiot

Your problem is that you don't like the answers given. I've said months ago that I don't think Bale will be sold this summer, and I still think that. But apparently you want to hear something different. I've said that I doubt RM can get the cash to front up the alleged world record bid. But you again apparently want to hear something different.
So, Bale won't be sold and RM don't have the cash anyway. If you want something straighter then try the Roman road along Watling Way.
I don't get this, Charlton said a few months before Ferguson retired that he doesn't like Mourinho. One of our Directors said that he doesn't like him as a manager or a person but so many people thought we were after him?
