At the start of the season I was convinced he was trying to get the sack at Chelsea. He was behaviour was strange even for him, I don't think he really wanted to go back to Chelsea but it was the best job available at the time but he didn't want it long term. He and Chelsea had a stinker starting the season but I think he wanted out from the beginning with his grumblings about the transfer window.

No worries mate i just made it for a laugh.

Would be hilarious if it was made the caf's banner for a day but i don't see it happening.
 
Spent the last few months saying I couldn't get excited with the possibility of Jose coming cause I wanted Pep or Poch. It's hitting me now and I'm fecking excited.
 
I imagine that since he has been on holiday for the last 6 months (and based on his personality) that he is going to dive straight in from the word go? Would be a huge plus for us while other teams will be settling down for the next couple of weeks.

Such a contrast to LvG, who obviously through no fault of his own had commitments to Holland for most of that summer, and David Moyes who decided it was more important to take a two week holiday straight after being given the biggest job in football.

It's like knowing your ex is with another man until you actually see them together on Facebook and shit and then you go and despair in your mates flat for a couple days. If they win the league it would be like being forced to watch the ex and her new mans sex tape. I can't take this

Excellent news for the club. The optimism surrounding next season now compared to what it was a week ago is through the roof. Even fans who have an element of cynicism about the man himself must surely be happy with the signal of intent by United.
 
Things are looking up now. I think Jose will work really hard to win the fans over who still aren't keen on him. Here's hoping it's a long and successful reign.

THIS is why we needed him and it is a no-brainer

Haha that Moyes one is tragic. They could have put David is from Scotland and once managed a team to an Fa Cup final but didn't win. And... eh he's from Scotland.

Have to say he doesn't look very happy holding the shirt. Reminds me of Anelka with the WBA one.

Will never be as bad as Aaron Lennon and his Everton shirt.

Welcome José! Get the feck in!!!
 
Ha he has a newly created instagram account this morning. I wonder if the club suggested that.
 
Finally official, great news. Feck the Euros, bring on next season!
 
Excellent. Not the biggest Mourinho fan in the world but he is absolutely what we need right now, and one of the few I trust to go head to head vs Pep across the city and come out on top.
 
That Twitter video :lol:

Face like someone's holding a gun to his back.
 
Delighted with the news! Welcome, Jose! More of winning trophies and tactical masterclasses and less of the cringeworthy fued with Wenger and brainfarts like in that PSG game 1 year ago please :angel:

You really can't use that one example as a guarantee of what's going to happen; for one thing, the circumstances at Chelsea are significantly different from those at United. There was stacks of evidence that what happened with Chelsea last season went beyond Mourinho (just think of Hazard's inexplicable loss of form, Ivanovic's complete loss of form, the shambles of a preseason, etc). A big mitigating factor for me though was what happened in the transfer market. If you look at Mourinho's record, he's usually very busy in the transfer window, but at Chelsea he didn't have the final say on transfers, and it showed. At united, he will have the final say. I think that's going to make a much bigger difference than you think.

Sure. Poor Jose, had so little say that he managed to do his friend Mendes a favour and sign Falcao. Was Roman in coma those days?
Or when he decided to sell their 2 times player of the year and fan favorite? Sure Roman blocked that move too, right?
When he messes up it's someone else's fault at Chelsea especially Roman's and and when he succeeds it's just because of him and despite Roman.

That's one thing which needs to change here, he needs to take responsibility instead of throwing everyone under the bus.
Can't wait until we start discussing him based on what he does at United instead of just based on his name and past succeses.
