I don't want to sound harsh but when a tweet from a journo is posted on here I expect it to at least be from a real account!
It's the real, fake account of James Cooper - nothing wrong with that.

Mourinho and United,its a match made in heaven. 
Bless whoever changed the title 
When you guys have some time you should watch the whole 45 minute documentary if you haven't already. The Inter part is my favourite bit but the quotes from SAF are great too. Essential viewing for the upcoming week.
For me (although I hate that phrase, when halfwits like Hoddle et al repeatedly use it...we know it's for you, you're the one speaking grr)...erm anyway... for me, it's the appointment we should have made 3 years ago.
The players would have respected him, he'd have been arrogant enough to think he could have improved things, and it could and probably would have been really nice. Certainly wouldn't have slipped to 7th.
Some will say he was signed up elsewhere, some will try and use the 6months of last season as a reason it wouldn't have worked etc..
At least we have tried to rectify it now.
As a minimum I expect him to stop us being so clueless against the lesser teams, and not spend so long keeping the ball for so little reason.

I watched it when I should really be working on an assignment
It was a great watch, although I seem to remember having seen if before!Only handing him a 3 year deal worries me slightly, don't clubs generally hand their new managers 4/5 year contracts? I know we only gave LVG 3 years but surely that was more due to his desire to retire? We gave Moyes 6 years didn't we? Worried it sends the message that we expect this to only be a short term fix
A lot of people cared about what Keane and Cantona did and they both served long suspensions because of those actions.
Key points
- Mou wants early business and squad in place for Pre season
- Budget to him is 200 million, he will have final say on targets
- Players already contacted.
- MATA and BFS could be sold.
- Marquinhos,Stones,Aubameyang, Zlatan,Jamez all targets
- Giggs may be offered a role in backroom staff, he will reject it and leave.
Nothing is official yet so just wait until the announcement before jumping to any conclusions about his contract length
If it is true that we are giving him a 3 year deal I'm not really worried about that - he'll earn an extension.
DDG
Stones, Smalling, Marquinhos, Shaw
Rooney, Scheiderlin
James, Aubameyang, Martial
Ibrahimovic
That's a tidy set of targets. See how many are true and come off.
Wasn't that long ago James was so highly sought after he went for a colossal fee. Him and Ibra would get the pulses going.
Stones less so!
Completely agree.
If he is appointed one thing is for sure, this summer will be even more mental than the last two...
No-one has a clue!!! So basically we will be linked with every player in the world this transfer window!

Hope we steer clear of Stones. Not good enough.
The signings quoted are a tad underwhelming.
Whoever we sign, I'm not really sure I care who, I have complete faith in Mourinho to bring in good players that will improve our team and squad.
Not for the price we'd have to pay anyway.
Oh shit here we go again with Garay.
Yes, we all know Everton like bleeding us dry. Best to stay away
Yes this

Defiantly will, what do I google to find it?
If you're expecting Mourinho to stay longer than 3 maybe 4 years then just stop
Keep the links coming, interesting to read what players we will target now.
KEY POINTS
- Andre gomes, joao mario,Garay, stones, Morata, icardi all targeted.
- 150Million minimum spending
- Appointment has made Carrick. David de gea, herrera and MATA happy, although mata may leave as he was sold earlier by Jose.
- Carrick might stay after all, so might DDG as he was goin to leave if LVG was to stay
- Icardi is fall back for Morata who is number 1 target
- Garay fall back for Stones
- Pogba and juve left back alex sandro enquired for and rejected by quoting 150 million euros for each
DDG
Stones, Smalling, Marquinhos, Shaw
Rooney, Scheiderlin
James, Aubameyang, Martial
Ibrahimovic
That looks
Wonder what he will be doing. Van Gaal is retiring, so he'll have to find himself another manager to work for, I guess.
Cheers for the twitter updates @Damien or @KM. Very useful, and also great work @Maradona10 for the links.
English media haven't had a clue who we're after since Moyes went. Nothing's changed there if you ask me.
Stones plays some nice balls but is he 40million pounds better then some of the young defenders we've coming through at the club? I don't think so.
I don't understand why Mata would be happy if he thinks he will leave unless he's happy to leave
I'm sorry but this is all FM tabloid shite. This player will do this, the other player will do that. Who truly knows? Muppet mode is fecking code red and will be until August no doubt.
What's new?
Didn't Fergie lambast his players for the way they behaved there?
DDG
Stones, Smalling, Marquinhos, Shaw
Rooney, Scheiderlin
James, Aubameyang, Martial
Ibrahimovic
Stones shouldn't be anywhere near right back I don't think and James would be a waste on the right. Nor do I like the idea of Rooney in midfield in the long term.
I have hopes Jones is over his injuries. He is a good partner for Smalling.
