A Stones' throw away from greatness you could say.

Maybe because they kicked him out of a CL semi twice in 3 years.
You'd laugh, but... x]
You joke? But yes, yes we do know.
Its Utd fans in the Klopp thread now writing Klopp off because of that season. Comprehension.
Fwiw, I didn't want Jose to get the job but to do it in the most classless way possible right under Ferguson and Moores disapproving noses holds many golden moments to come for us. Unless he walks the league every season but until/unless then golden moments.
From a newbie
Hello i am portuguese, i didn't know i wouldn't be able to join the main forum when i registered but i'll still post it here since i think it is important info that Man Utd fans would like to know.
In Portugal Mourinho said a couple years after he left Chelsea for the first time that if the oportunity came he would gladly accept a Chelsea offer but his ultimate goal was to coach Man Utd for a long time. The interviewer even asked like Sir Alex Ferguson? And he replied affirmatively.
I'm not sure if those words in that interview made it to some international tabloids or not but i don't think so since the forum is all thinking he's leaving after 2 years or so (as he usually does).

Its funny reading, Liverpool fans being worried about our class or no class.
Not worried about fictional things. Just the facts. Ferguson v Jose. Parts 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9....
Love their class and dignity, la
The excitement just keeps building. Feck me, I haven't been this excited in ages.
It was reaffirmed in February talking about stability and wanting to work in the premier league.
He's wanted the United Job for a very long time.

That title alone makes him a success at Chelsea.
I honestly don't think I could be more excited for the new season as I already am. Nevermind the excitement of our new manager, the league itself has so many potential great teams fighting for the title/top 4 that I think we're in for an almighty fun ride.
Spot fecking on
So whats the story, Fergie was classy, Jose isnt?
Soon as we appoint him, my reaction will be "here we go".
The difference is that Mourinho has achieved far FAR more than Klopp has, more than Klopp probably will in his entire career.Its Utd fans in the Klopp thread now writing Klopp off because of that season. Comprehension.

Perspective.
That was in my opinion the most I've enjoyed watching football other than maybe a couple of the United sides over the years. You do need to remember however he had a front 4 of a peak Ronaldo, Benzema, Ozil and Di Maria.
I'm sure even LVG could have won the league with those 4 up front.
Cool but its hardly news, Mourinho has been brown nosing us for years.
Golden moments? Whatever golden moments he brings to Liverpool fans its nothing compared to numerous golden moments Liverpool has given us. Just this year seeing them celebrating a draw vs Wba was golden.
Im really excited. The fact he wanted this job so much and that opposing fans think its a mistake makes me even more excited.
I think the point is that he does not only want to come here, but he's planning to stay here for a long time, unlike his previous tenures.
Couldnt imagine people celebrating Mou's appointment 4-5 years ago.
Sad times.
Miss you, Fergie.
Sad times.
Miss you, Fergie.
If Sir Alex didn't clash with 5th place LVG and the complete betrayal of how United played, why would he fall out with one of his closest friends in football?
Yeah, I don't understand why many seem to consider it a given that he'll only be here short-term. He's ticked most boxes in his managerial career, but longevity with one club where he has to build and rebuild is a challenge he's yet to complete (and International management). I don't think it's a short-term appointment.
Mourinho should of took over when Fergie left but no, the great Utd is too good for him. Look where that got us.
I for one am very exciting for the impending news.
For me Jose hasn't lost any of his tactical geniuisness. You can point at his bad season this season, but Klopp had that in his last season.
I also think, with Roman, you have a very interfering owner which Jose doesn't like. He wanted Stones, but ended up with two defenders he didn't want. That is a relationship built on tension. You could mention many other signings that were forced upon him also.
Whether he stays here for 3 years or more, he demands the best players, and that is what we need right now.
Also, it's quite apparent he has wanted the United job for years, and his desire to work in England, in my opinion points towards a longer stint than 3 years, but only time will tell...

More than half the forum wanted him to take over from SAF.
Wanted him to take over. Klopp (I hate saying a Liverpool manager was my dream) and Ancelotti are the only two I've wanted over him. Ancelotti only over him due to Mourinho's controversial antics. People don't realize what an ass Fergie was at time, he was just our ass...
It was a sad day when we got Moyes instead.
I think you are right. Jose was livid when his team was at 17th last year.
I agree, I think we may see a different side to Mourinho and I think this is the job he's desired for a long time... Watch us appoint Rafa now
Don't be silly. I was googling every 2 seconds hoping... only to see Moyes confirmed. Better late than never.
This has all gone a bit boring today....
Yup, I was certain he was coming since the timing was perfect when he was done at Real and thus had completed his tour of europe.
Now its been confirmed LVG has been sacked
It was his interview after they knocked us out of Europe that had me convinced. SAF reactions that night made me think he had decided to retire and then Jose came out after the game trying to fit his entire tongue up United's arse.
