That's a pretty pessimistic view. I hope that those responsibile for selecting managers in the future will do so with respect to the core values of the club, which are effectively what have made us so succesful on and off the pitch over the years.

Both have dived (have you not watched Rooney for the past two years), playacted and indulged in time-wasting (any keeper in the fecking world have done these antics for the past 20 years... wtf have you been?) at some point in their career. At United.
This is such a myth! We haven't played great, free-flowing football since the first 6 months of 06/07. 07/08 we were very mechanical at times, 08/09 we were a 1-0 team all the way through the campaign, and this season, although we've been much better, we've not been the attacking United team of the past.
And yet it's our most successful era in years.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. In 10 years of management he was won 13 trophies, with the potential for 3 more before the seasons end.
Mourinho is a winner. Regardless of what you think of him or how he gets there, you can't deny that wherever he goes, success follows.
Spot on. This is something i have always hated in his teams. Just The thought of United turning up at OT with 2 defensive mids in every game is enough to not want him at United.
You've just picked the worst case scenario there though you don't hear of Eto'o or Milito constantly diving even though they probably do it, just like Rooney does now and again.
You can't honestly say that you would have thought VDS wouldn't have took his time taking those goal kicks.
Least respected? I'd say that Sir Alex has a great deal of respect for Mourinho which would say alot about him. I also don't think he'd up and leave so soon after joining if he came to United after winning the league with Real as there wouldn't really be anywhere else to go.
Yet they scored 3 goals, whereas at Old Trafford in 2008 we scored just the one.
There is no better alternative than Jose to replace Fergie at the moment.
I think the only year we have been a bit boring is last year. Other than that we have always been a team playing very very good football
He hasn't proven much? He's had virtually no money to spend, a small squad and some terrible injuries to key players, and still been extremely competitive.
People just look at trophies, but you have to look at everything in context, and I would say he has impressed most seasoned observers with his achievements at Everton.
It's worth noting that United have only ever had one non-British manager in their history, and he was an Irishman.
Even with 10 men and being 2 goals up teams should go to the Nou Camp and try to increase their lead.
Wait....no, that would be stupid.
Wait....no, that would be stupid.
What a crock of unadulterated shite that is.....Pandev is not a striker??? please stop wasting my time, have you ever watched him play in his career? at all even? in fact no, don’t even answer that you’ve already done so....good grief.I dont bother debating with you john because your blind to so much about the game even basic concepts seem to pass you by, Inter play a 4-3-3,their front 3 are all natural centre forwards by trade, its as plain as day, and the point was no Manchester United side under Sir Alex ferguson has lined up with 3 centre forwards on the pitch for nearly 2 years...
But it doesn’t surprise me you dont see that, you are rather limited in your understanding of the game if truth be told.
Doesn't sound like someone who is qualified to manage United. We need someone with a record of successfully winning the league and CL.
Elvis is spot on when it comes to things Jose.
Agreed.
In your opinion...
Seeing the results of this forum id say in about 57% of peoples opinions actually.....
So in your opinion teams with 10 men and a 2 goal lead at the Nou Camp should try to increase their lead?
I still don't want him at United.He could win the next 2 CL it wouldn't change my opinion
Valdes is such a stupid, stupid ape.
Mourinho got right what he wanted with this idiot's reaction

Who would you prefer ?
Baldwin, what did you make of our performances against Barcelona in 2008?

I don't even know why I bother responding to your drivel but I shall.
Pandev and Eto'o are clearly wide players in Mourinho's system. It's plain to see. And no, Mourinho does not play a 4-3-3, it's a 4-2-3-1, also quite obvious to an observer. Sneijder plays ahead of the two defensive midfielders and basically has a free role; Eto'o and Pandev are expected to track back.
I don't know but one thing I'm sure of is that I don't want him as the next United coach.
I'm sorry, but that is the great myth. How many managers get a chance anymore? All of these clubs are going for the big names from foreign countries but how many are successful?
There are good British managers that aren't getting the chance to prove themselves. How you can seriously expect Moyes, managing Everton, to be winning the league or the Champions League? He has overachieved with his resources and has also got the club running well from the youth to the main team and deserves a chance at a bigger club at some point. I hope someone is brave enough to give him a chance, rather than jump in for the next in vogue foreign manager.
I thought I wouldn't be honoured with a debate with you till I come up with a 'reasonable argument'?
I just want your thoughts on our two performances against Barcelona in 2008. Your dodging of the questions tells me all I need to know though.
If SAF were to step down at the minute which thankfully he isnt, the job would be Jose's for the asking. I must admit life round OT certainly wouldn't be boring with him there
Couldn't agree more.
Don't expect to find many of those here. Unfortunately, you're debating here with posters of questionable maturity who can't see beyond 'winning' at all costs...
It's a huge risk and with the precarious financial situation we're in we can't afford to take a risk like that. With Mourinho we know what we will be getting, we we can be as sure as we will ever be that our success will continue.
Which is?
I just love the way people like you are using the Glazers as justification for handing over control to Mourinho.
Hilarious...
I could understand this argument if I found Mourinho's football boring, but I don't. 2004/05 they were an excellent team to watch, which is why they won more games than anybody else had ever done in the league, set a new points total and broke about a billion other records in the book.
05/06 they were nothing spectacular but they certainly weren't as dull as people make them out to be. Honestly, the impression you get from some of you lot you'd think he just parked the bus every game, which is quite clearly nonsense because you don't win trophy after trophy after trophy doing that.
Granted I haven't watched Inter Milan regularly but whenever I have I've been impressed. They're a very organised unit, very disciplined, and they have the potential to play very good football. I ask you again, how often do you watch Inter Milan play? If it's not regularly how on earth can you say Mourinho's football is boring? Or are you just going off the two games against Barcelona, where he did pretty much exactly what Fergie did in 2008?
Christ its a basic concept to grasp, even for yourself this shouldn’t be testing:
Pandev/Eto'o/Milito = 3 natural out an out centre forwards by trade, any even vague football observer of the last 8-10 years of domestic or international football following their careers could tell you that, my mother could tell you that….the point Elvis originally made and myself agreed with was for a supposedly negative manager Mourinhio consistently names 3 strikers in his starting line up home or away against any opposition, last time ‘supposedly gung ho Manchester United’ did that was anfield september 2008....
Put it this way we wouldn’t have gone to the nou camp tonight and played with 3 recognised strikers from the start however you may wish to try and twist this undeniable and obvious fact that Inter and Mourinhio do this.
All 3 of the aforementioned start in a front 3 forward line, 1 central flanked by the other 2, id draw you a diagram but im really not going to waste any further time with you, its kindergarten stuff.
Answer the question!
Eh? If our finances gave us nothing to worry about, I'd still want Mourinho at the club. Does David Moyes impress you with his brilliant style of football?
And i also don't really want us to be managed by a guy who yet refers to our major title rivals as "his Chelsea boys"
I'd love Jose Mourinho to be the next manager of United
The passion he has for the team he is managing is incredible, he may be doing it in part to further himself and his image, but the way he sprinted to celebrate towards the Inter fans tonight, the way he did the same for Porto fans at Old Trafford, incidentally I thought he was a complete twat when he did that
But how can you not have anything but admiration for the passion he was for Inter right now, the will to win for Inter and their fans, he feels it, or shows that he feels it like a fan, and that is all you can ask for from your players, from your manager
