I would opt for Pep, if we could get him.
Mourinho tells Sneijder to stay at Inter = Mourinho must be the next United manager
The sad thing is, had he told Sneijder to sign for United people would be saying the exact same thing.
So basically: Anything Mourinho says in connection with Man Utd = Mourinho will be next United manager.
Right.
Who drew that conclusion?
It's more likely that JM views the Inter job as an escape route should things go badly for him in Spain, and he wants Sneijder to remain at Inter (because, after all, he's the only star player they have currently).
As for Jose Mourinho, Ferguson had nothing but compliments.
"I don't find anything wrong with his enthusiasm," Ferguson said. "When I was younger I showed more enthusiasm on the bench, too -- I was always gesticulating and directing.
"It's Mourinho's nature to be agitated," Ferguson added. "When I saw Mourinho run up and down the touchline at Old Trafford when he coached Porto, I said to myself, 'Did I also use to do that?' People recognize his enthusiasm, the fans understand that he's fighting for them and for the squad."

Yeah, he fought for Inter so much that he left them for a bigger job. José really cares.
Klopp brings youngsters from OUR academy?
Yes, Dortmund's academy is ours too - did you not know?
Badly worded, you know very well what I meant.
SAF will have a big say who takes over from him. He will only hand over his legacy to someone he trusts.
He also hints the timeline...5 years. Of course he is not going to announce when he will leave..to avoid the problems that started the last time.
I am certain he wants Maurinho to take charge....eventually.

Ferguson did that. Twice.

Comments (0) Add to My Stories Share Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will recommend Jose Mourinho as his successor when he eventually leaves Old Trafford.
Ferguson’s decision to back his former rival for the biggest job in football will be critical for The Special One, who has made plenty of enemies during a colourful career with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and now Real Madrid.
Successor: Sir Alex Ferguson wants Jose Mourinho to take over at Manchester United when he retires
Senior figures at Old Trafford are concerned Mourinho will tarnish the club’s reputation, and his cause was not helped earlier this month when he allegedly poked Barcelona’s assistant manager Tito Vilanova in the eye following a recent Real Madrid defeat at the Nou Camp.
But Ferguson, who has grown increasingly close to Mourinho since the Portuguese left England in 2007, still believes he is the right man for the job with the required experience, work ethic and personality - and will tell the United board when he is consulted.
A source who knows both managers said: ‘Alex and Jose are close - Alex will do what he can to get him the United job. Jose has had many problems at Real Madrid but Alex understands that is largely to do with his nationality.
Old rivals: But the pair have great respect for each other
‘Jose is proud of his country but Spanish people look down on the Portuguese and don’t like to take orders from them.
‘It is different in England - when Jose left, it was massive news and the Chelsea players felt it was like a bereavement.’
One of Ferguson’s most experienced players, Rio Ferdinand, has also gone on record as saying Mourinho is the ‘only man big enough’ to fill Sir Alex’s shoes when he retires.
But he still has to win over other people at United who have balked at his long-running feud with Barcelona.
Mourinho is currently serving a five-match touchline ban in the Champions League after accusing officials of helping Barcelona win last season’s hotly contested semi-final against Real.
Controversial: Mourinho has made enemies across Europe
Ferguson, whose United team face Mourinho’s former club Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday, keeps in regular touch with his one-time rival and spent time in Lisbon ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League tie against Benfica helping to contribute towards a favourable biography about the celebrated Portuguese manager, who has won the Champions League with Porto and Inter.
He credits Mourinho’s arrival at Stamford Bridge in 2004 in helping Manchester United raise their own game, noting in particular the fast starts Chelsea made in the Premier League.
It is something United have emulated this season, winning all four games so far and scoring 18 goals.

Most of 'Jose's problems at Real are to do with his nationality'?
Yeah right...
Yeah right...
'A source.'
He's going to City imo.

Nigel Clough.
Just get him in - and give him ages

Advantages - Young, knows how to win things, everyone who works with him loves him.
Disadvantages - Might randomly sack the entire coaching staff, may not stay there very long, may not bring through youth players, may not leave behind a legacy, would make United the more hated.

That's not a bad thing. When you're hated, you know you're doing something right.
I don't think he sacks anyone to be honest... infact he's quite supportive of his staff, or wherever he goes to.
5 years is good enough, realistically SAF/Wenger are anomaly in football.
He may not bring youth players, but do you think a mediocre player would bring youth? considering they'll replacing the mighty SAF and probably won't risk bringing up youth? Who would be bold enough to bring up youth when you're just replacing the greatest ever manager in all time?
Leave behind a legacy? sorry .. only trophy counts 20 years from now. Do you think having Moyes, Blanc, Ole etc would mean a legacy if we're not winning anything?
Anyone still want Wenger?
feck no.
I'm pretty confident we'll get Mourinho actually, not sure totally how I feel about it, but it is looking more and more likely.
OGS is close to winning the league in his debut season as manager, he's showing huge promise.
I myself am not won over by the notion but given the way they are playing at the minute (see thread re madrids beautiful counter attacking) and the probability that fergie of all people would endorse his move is there anyone here that was previously against the idea of mourinho taking over now warming to it? or do you feel its his attitude rather than style of play that makes him an unattractive prospect?
For me, it's about his attitude. Now, there's a good chance he'll learn how to deal with intricacies better as he build more experience. I'd welcome that, definitely. His ideas are interesting and his football isn't as boring as it once was made out to be.
Who knows when the time is due.
Complete myth that one, I've repeated myself a million times on the subject. Jose's Chelsea team with Duff and Robben on the wings was one of the best teams ever to watch in the Premier League, Inter were brilliant also at times. What Jose has done over his career is win ugly when it calls for it, nothing wrong with that at all, some of the football we've played these past few years with SAF has been dull as dishwater too.
Call it gut feeling, but I think OGS will be our next manager. There are certain links with SAF's history, naturally it'll depend on how well OGS does in the next few years, but I just have this feeling thats what will happen.
He's a fan favourite after all and will be given time not to mention he'll carry on with bringing through youngsters, he knows the clubs setup and has been under SAF's wing as both a player and as on the management team.

Did anyone see the Scholes's interview in Four-Four-Two?
Paul reckons Giggs is the man to take over, in the same way as Pep did at Barca.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree, but Scholesy is a well placed as anyone to have a valid opinion.

I like this
I don't think any utd fan would be unhappy with that.
I've always thought this myself. Carry on the the already installed tradition.
I like this
I don't.
Neither do i. Too much of a risk and we cant afford that when we've so many young players with great potential in the squad and more coming through. anyone with no managerial experience will be a big risk, giggsy or not.
Spot on - great players don't always make great managers.
Whats the opinion on Jurgen Klopp? He is relatively young in terms of managerial years (44). He has instilled a good brand of football in Dortmund.
I wouldn't want any club legend taking the job, it's not a good situation because the guy is almost unsackable.
quite hoesntly Id rather have Giggsy, Moyes, Hitler Bin Laden or Pol Pot than that arrogant cock munching crap talking asshole Mourinho.
If it means they are given patience then history proves that is generally a good thing.
Agreed, we need another kind, modest man who never talks rubbish about referees or UEFA, would never attack someone else near their eye area and never creates any controversy, another man like Ferguson.
Does it really though? There are one or two examples of it, but I'd say the majority of managers are more successful at the start of their career at any given club than in the subsequent years. Take Wenger at Arsenal, he's been there nearly 15 years now, having success early on, and now they get worse and worse every season, Benitez at Liverpool, won the European Cup and FA Cup in his first two seasons, won feck all from then until his sacking.
Successful managers tend to spend longer at their clubs, yeah, but the success is the causal factor, it makes them more difficult to get rid of, it's not the result.
I want stability when SAF leaves, someone who is going to stay for the long-term. In the history of our club that has proven to be a recipe for success.
