Jose wants to return

He’d bite Sir Jim’s hand off for an interim. Can’t see him at a top club again now, so expensive and volatile.
Relax, I wasn't leading the charge for his coronation. Just laying out the landscape, that's all.
There’s been a bunch of people making the same claim. I just find it so strange. Who cares where he sits relative to other failures? All we know for a fact is that he also failed. That’s all that matters.
Probably have this side playing well.
Really wasn't as bad as you say. You've predictably over exagerrated his low moments and forget how up and down Ole was whilst actually not having won anything in the process and having a lot more time.
Same. Anyone who thinks this would be a good idea needs their head examining.
I don't even think Mourinho thinks it would work out. He's just putting his name out there cos he's desperate for another big job.
It depends on what you're after. Some people are hunting for crumbs of progress others are fantasizing about stumbling upon the next Fergie...
There were posters arguing about it in the Ten Hag thread yesterday. @Chumpsbechumps was one of them.
Moyes is the only one of our former managers still managing at a high level…
I refuse to believe anyone actually believes ETH is as good as Pep. Surely a misunderstanding.
Jose can feck off. He was always the number 1 virus.
This certainly engaged the forum. Ten Hag's predecessors should take turns making these "threats".
Erm, reads to me like he said Pep is inflated because he hasn't taken a real challenge without a chequebook.
Don't think he said Pep isn't as good as Ten Hag
A whole world of difference between Ajax and Sevilla.
I’m not defending Ole, he was shit too.
I’ve jumped on to the caf to see if we have signed any players on deadline day as I’ve been busy at work all day, and this fecking thread is top of the list.
I’m just genuinely stunned that anybody can have an opinion other than “feck no”.
You’ve clearly exorcised his whole “rest defence” football style and his shitting on the club as well as the players from your mind.
I agree our players are largely shite, and I’d like to see somebody tearing them a new arsehole, but feck hiring a manager who’ll throw the whole fecking club under the bus to protect his own ego. Especially if he’s serving up shitty two-banks-of-four football whilst doing it.

So you don't like his managerial style. It's not relevant to today's game as much as it was. My opinion isn't as extreme as yours but it's still very detached to the point I was making.
Don’t think anyone could get this side playing well. We’ve got a mixture of players who aren’t good enough with players who have bad attitude and that isn’t a good combination. Toxic dressing room. Players doing what the hell they want off the pitch which gives the club bad headlines.
Thank you, that was exactly my point…
Classic @pocco making things up I see.
He’s never been the same without Rui Faria as his assistant.
So we've clarified that no one said that ETH is as good as Pep. Thank goodness for that.
Gotta love some Caf hyperbole though.

Does Jose think he can still chose whatever job he wants?
Our EL win under Jose was one of the worst games of football I've ever seen. We did nothing but kick the ball into the air all night to make the game as messy as possible.
Football at its worst.
But have we clarified that no one said that ETH is better than Pep?
If Jose (2 trophies) is the virus, what the feck does that say for the others?
There'll have to be a VAR check on that.
He's got no shot at the Old Trafford job, mate. I don't know why Pogue is all worked up, even though he's got the best managerial record post-Fergie.
Precisely. He dropped off a cliff the season Rui left the club. I think he was genuinely a balancing and calming influence on Jose, and with him around Jose chose to go nuclear too often - here and at Spurs.
The feck are people on wanting him back?
This forum never ceases to amaze.
I didn't think it could get dumber than some of what churns up on here every week but this thread has actually done it
Do people just have no memory at all? Or they think that because what we're doing now hasn't worked, trying something else that we already tried and also didn't work somehow becomes a good idea? Like if you fail your driving test by driving on the wrong side of the road, and then fail your next test because you forgot the difference between red and green, the next time you take the test you should try driving on the wrong side of the road again?
We were quite good under Ten Hag for a fair chunk of last season and won a trophy. Maybe we should sack Ten Hag and then hire Ten Hag to replace him?
I'm a big Jose fan.
I think he'd have been the perfect guy to take over from SAF when he left.
We'd certainly have won the league with an aging squad (something Jose likes - working with players in their 30s).
Even when he did come to us, I felt he needed back in his 3rd season, after he got 2nd place. But he wasn't backed and the rest is history.
I think Jose is now past his best and we must look elsewhere. And given that a lot of our squad members are under 30, this could be an issue for Jose.
It just wouldn't make sense for us.

My god the toxicity will be off the charts. Need a documentary next season

Absolutely hilarious the state of this place. Fecking idiots
Though Pogue has informed me Maureen has the best record post Fergie, so who knows!
Wee Jimmy Lumsden
Steve Round and the three footballs he was always carrying under his arm for some reason
He knows INEOS will act quickly for failing managers. He wants in to get his sacking compensation and make it past 100m mark.
Can he cook chicken, might be an opening there

He’s been sacked in disgrace 4 times now since 2016, maybe he is the problem. Also Ten Hag has won the same trophy but I don’t think he’s the answer either. And Mourinho just has a Europa League with a historically soft run to it to cover up finishing 6th that season.
I think this story serves two purposes. It puts Jose in a luxury shop window which is not really where he's at these days, so maybe he'll strike gold and get a decent position somewhere. It also normalises the idea that United are looking for a new manager (if indeed, that's what INEOS are doing, which I assume they are).
