That's crap, not a gem.

There was something in Rooney's book but Moyes succesfully sued him for libel. He was always going to move on to a bigger club, even if their relationship wasn't great at the time (SAF has fallen out with players as well).
That doesn't make any sense?
Also, why ask me a question five times then ignore my response to it?
If Drogba can get on with Mourinhio anyone can, what a terrible example, Scholes is probably the most easy going person there is.
The point was whether you accept it or not players will and do look at who the managers are and his reputation in the game at any potential suitor, Would they look at Moyes and Mourinhio in the same light? of course not, who would they prefer to play under? a lesser player may opt for a Moyes type but a top level european star wants to play under a manager who hes confident can A get the best out of him and B win major titles, Moyes hasn’t proven either, Morinhio has for the best part of 10 years now in 3 different countrys.
Moyes is a good manager, but to claim he holds even close to the respect in the game that Mourinhio does is ridiculous, and to claim it would make no difference to a top bracket European players is naïve, borderline stupid seeing as all these players say such things upon signing for clubs, i.e "the manager played a big part in me coming here", "I wanted to play under a succesfull manager like such an such" etc.
Put O'Neil and Moyes out of your minds.It won't happen
Is that a facht or just your opinion?
Mourinho wankfest is far worse than the Barca wankfest.
No one can be so definitive.
Van Gaal has been already chosen by Fergie in the 2002, according to Van Gaal...
O'Neill, unexperienced in big clubs, and he is too old, only 5 yrs less than Fergie
Depends which side you are on.
But honestly if you are complaining about the quality, well lets just say not everyone is James Cameron. Just enjoy it and stop whining.
Don't forget about the much heralded and mildly Xenophobic "Anyone but Mourinho" wankfest.
It just blows my mind that his supporters here have, literally, only used the argument that he would 'win' in his favour.
I've not read anything about his football style or his philosophy on the game.
Quite embarrassing to see that no one gives a toss about that and just want trophies at any cost...
Another gem,
Get Berlusconi in there and you've got a winner.
Jesus. Has "wankfest" now become the most misused word on redcafe?
Yep. Its no longer as cool and edgy as it was when it was seldomly used to greater effect.
Who has been xenophobic?
And who has said something like 'Anyone but Mourinho'?
So far as I can tell anyone against Mourinho here has put forward specific alternatives and, frankly, have argued their case far better than the pro-Mourinho posters who apparently can't look beyond 'winning' at all costs.
I've said on a number of occassions that in 04/05 his Chelsea team were far from boring and were very good to watch, and whilst they weren't spectacular in 05/06 they weren't terrible either. Same applies to 06/07.At Inter I've not watched enough of them consistently to form an opinion. Interista will be a good one to ask as he's an Inter fan. Next time he's logged on I'll drop him a PM.
Why do you have to start claiming xenophobia just because people don't agree with you, it's pathetic.
Most of us can see that Mourinho is an excellent manager, but are also open to other less fashionable options. Unfortunately a number of you are so fixated on one person and are incapable of subjectively discussing the merits of others.
I'll repeat a question I asked earlier, would you rather be Wenger's Arsenal or Mourinho's Chelsea?
It has nothing to do with disagreement, as much as it does people farcically going for "British" managers despite their blatantly not being qualified or having shown any inkling that they're worthy of managing United. If the term bothers you then you may find solace that others actually voted for former United players for similar reasons.
I would infract anyone who uses 'wankfest' or 'rape' in relation to football.
Its also getting more people to vote, which is fine by me.
It's absurd how giddy people are getting about Mourinho getting Inter to the CL final.
The fat Spanish figure of fun down the road did exactly the same, with a far weaker squad of players, beating Barca much more comprehensively en route.
When will the Benitez to United campaign start?

I still can't believe people are voting Blanc.
The votes pretty conclusive, had this been an election the majority would have voted power to Mourinhio by a huge landslide.
What the feck does that have to do with anything?
How can I 'be' a football team? Jesus...
Trying to decipher what you're on about, I'll say Wenger's Arsenal. The last two seasons Mourinho spent at Chelsea they played some diabolical stuff...
Out of interest, how far down the french league have Bordeax dropped now? quite a slump by all accounts?
Much more comprehensively? It was 2-2 and Liverpool won on away goals.
This is just your opinion though, I would have thought as an admin you would at least have a little respect for others opinions rather than writing them off as 'xenophobic' or 'farcical'.
Except that Mourinho's already won the CL with a far lesser side. Many of his Porto players that won both the UEFA and the CL weren't well known at the time.
They're 6th now, 14 points from top. They held a 9 point lead earlier in the season.
Future United manager material that....
Liverpool out-played Barca for long periods. What we watched today was a smash and grab.
That fecker Mourinho made his reputation by knocking United out with an incorrectly disallowed goal. Tonight he knocked Barca out by the same means. God only knows why people are getting so hot and bothered up about it.
Are you always this crap? Your contributions to this thread tonight have been bumf...
I wouldn't use that as the biggest of sticks to beat him with. We threw away leads in 92 and 97, so it happens to the best. My argument against the appointment of Blanc is his complete lack of experience. He's done well so far with what he's got, but nowhere near enough to be next United manager.
Nothing wrong with the terms as long as they're backed up with examples. I stand by my previous comments that the likes of Moyes, O'Neill, etc haven't done anything even reasonably credible enough to manage United.
It was tounge in cheek to be honest, i actually like Blanc, would prefer him to Moyes actually but hes still a rookie whos proven nothing at the top table to be in such a position i agree.
Besides, it wound baldwin up (which was the intention i must confess), the guy who still cant answer questions from 3 pages back because he has no answers....
At the Camp Nou they did, but both goals were lucky breaks and on another day they wouldn't have been scored.
Liverpool were comprehensively outplayed at Anfield and lost 1-0. They went through though, so no-one really gives a toss. Who cares who played better? Bayern battered us for 89 minutes in 1999. History remembers only the winner.
You can point to decisions all you like, but it wasn't Mourinho who made them. He's got a slice of luck on occassion, but he's also had luck go against him at times aswell. Inter were by far the better team over the two legs and deserved to go through, this following on from 2 excellent displays against his former club Chelsea.
I don't know what Mourinho has to do for some people.
