You what mate?!
I said it wasn't a huge challenge.
That's true, but I wouldn't swap so couldn't really care. Mourinho won't be a success, quote me on it.

How anyone case say that with such certainty is insane. He has won the title everywhere he has been
What do you think he will achieve at United? Where will he finish next season?
you will find that the feeling is overwhelmingly mutual of their parts, too.
I heard you, but am genuinely baffled!! How can one think that?!!
Especially as seeing you are a Liverpool fan, wow!
Still be interesting to know what was the offer though.
Well, it's a bit silly to say that since in reality you have no way of knowing.
Oh....ok...Klopp won't be a success either....
Each to their own. I find posts of posters who ignore all negatives about him and act as God has come to rescue us more clownish.
Boiled eggs.
why shouldn't we be excited? we've had feck all to be happy about for 3 years.
Don't mind the negative posts, but when a poster says 'Mou won't be a success and you can quote me'. Well that isn't negative, that is just a daft statement since it's based on claiming you can see into the future....that is no evidence to base a statement like that on....
There is difference in discussing his negatives and posting nonsense totally ignoring his achievements. I think it is pretty straightforward to see but each to his own.
Do you think Klopp has it in him to lose 6 consecutive finals? its a tough ask, but I think he can do it
It's a prediction, not a fact. We'll see how it goes but that's what I think will happen. He's not the manager he was though, that's beyond doubt.
Can't really keep up with the alerts here so not going to bother replying to everyone.
@Attila, 3rd or 4th next year. Same the year after, sacked in the third.
there is no analysis here by Bob other than simply 'wanting' Mourinho to fail.
Just say that then and move on.

You think Woodward would have the balls to sack someone for getting top 4 two years in a row? After Moyes and Vangle?
Prediction for Klopp and Guardiola?
Wont be easy but I'll learn to love him.
If he falls out with everyone again then I don't see why not. Surely 4th isn't the target set by Woodward?
Guardiola league winner next season, Klopp 4th or 5th.
Shit football this
why should Giggs even expect an assistant manager position.
Managers bring along people they work closely with. I can expect keeping quality coaching staff. Not sure which of the ones van Gaal brought along has qualities Mourinho may need.

based on what? did you just pull it out of your ass? because it can't be on history, as he has won a league title everywhere he's managed, and was the defending champion this year.It's a prediction, lighten up
what's this on? his inability to last long at a job? even that is irrelevent as he wins a league title in his first two seasons.
so, your predicition just seems wishful, petty, and absurd.
god. it makes LvG's football look in slow motion.
did not Duffer think Mourinho was still a top manager when they let him go?
It's really hard to say, after time out last time he went on to win the treble with Inter on one of the worst points in Italian footballs history.
He's 53, still young. He could have easily learnt from last year and had self reflection.
Mourinho has wanted the United job for years, I think he'll do good things, he's tactically one of the best managers in Football.
Pep won more head to heads with Barcelona because he had peak Messi, Xavi, Iniesta.
Mourinho is still one of the best 3 managers in the world, at one of the most profitable clubs in the world with power to buy who he likes. he grew tired at Madrid, Chelsea because he didn't have much of a say in who he wanted to buy, at United he does.
He's at the perfect club for what he wants, a footballing powerhouse where he has control, he's also at a time in his life as he's said himself where he wants to settle down and have a long-run at a club, his family needs stability and he wants to stay in England, Manchester United is probably the club that ticks all his boxes.
It won't be a three-year stint it'll be a good 5 years and he will win trophies, the downside is no champions league the first year.
The big reason he fell out at Chelsea and Madrid was the hierarchy at the club, feeling undermined and that translated to the players. I genuinely think he respects United the history of longevity and he won't get a bigger club with the role he wants in football elsewhere.
You boycotted last years league and cup wins then
Not sure why everyone pays any attention to the statement by Bob.
He's a known Mourinho hater and extremely bitter. He's just saying what he hopes happens, nothing else.

Isn't the paddy Crerand show not meant to start at half 6? Mutv has the FA Cup match on instead
Appointing Lvg didn't seem like a bad choice at the time either.
who did win you a lot of trophies....
So... is it official? I have seen nothing from the club. Is Jose Mourinho really the next Manchester United manager? This is a weird feeling. Someone we have despised for so many years, with Chelsea and Real Madrid (at Inter, it was less confrontational + United beat them in a C1 game if I recall), will be now the next manager... maybe a fantastic manager, who might be able to motivate again the old Rooney, who might get the best out of the youngsters OR the biggest failure of all times a la Chelsea #2 after the title.
He probably exploded with rage from all of the lying journos
Your problem seems to be that you think what has happened in the past will happen again. It's pretty much the same fallacy as expecting heads when you toss a coin because the last 5 times were heads.
ha, yes he had a real go about them, was it yesterday or today? Also said he was sure LVG would be still the manager of United next season.
It's been agreed since just after Mourinho left Chelsea. there's been a huge paper trail with the dinner with the Moratti family, the hints he's dropped about definitely managing in England next year if he doesn't sign Gary Lineker will do the first match of the day in his underpants.
oh wait. nevermind.
One is based on luck. Him winning titles isn't luck
I think there's a good chance he'll win something at United. Whether that's the league or something else remains to be seen, but he wins the league everywhere he goes so the omens are good for you.
I still don't think he'll last longer than 2-3 years. It doesn't seem like it's in his nature and it'll either unravel around him or he'll just pack up and go. This was a necessary move for United though given the uncertainty following Ferguson so it's no surprise that Mourinho is becoming the United manager as far as I'm concerned. United have to start competing and winning trophies regularly or the rot sets in and you become less relevant, dropping tiers in terms of where you're buying your players etc. If you want a recent example you can look at us following Benitez's departure. We may not have won the league during his tenure but we were at least relevant, competing in the Champions League and reaching cup finals, regularly finishing in the top four. Since he left we've played Champions League football once and never buy at the top level any more. We've gone from Alonso and Torres to Lambert and Lallana. No title challenge in the three years since Ferguson left will have got alarm bells ringing at United and they acted accordingly.
Not everyone is going to be happy about it but the alternative is fairly bleak. It'll be far from perfect but who cares if he wins you another league title?
