Why can't they just groom Raul for the job and let us have Mourinho
Imagine if he goes back to Real after all this chatter

It would be great if he would come. And i think he also wants to come.
Seriously. Moyes over Mourinho. Lunacy.
No, no. We don't want one of the best and most decorated coaches in the modern game. A serial winner everywhere he has been. Nah. We'd prefer the hapless, trophyless, always-the-victim, midtable-fodder, training sessions in a public park, get it to the byline, "that's the level we aspire to be", David fecking Moyes. The same David fecking Moyes who mentally obliterated a title winning unit and reduced them to rubble, forced the club's captain out and into signing a pre-contract with another club midway through the year, and the majority of the squad desperate to get out thereafter. We witnessed it first hand, but we want it to happen again as an option preferable to bringing in a manager who has never failed to win major honours.
Have a word with yourselves.
No, he has my permission to stay at Madrid as long as he wants.Come on, Rafa, hurry up and get the sack.

That all sounds great, but Mourinho is a better manager than Benitez hence why I'd like Rafa to stay at Madrid. Btw, I believe Mourinho should replace van Gaal when the Dutchman is relieved of his duties.You mean you don't want the circus back at Madrid while you have Messi, Neymar and Suarez to torment Mourinho's designs?
Just think of him losing his rag and blaming the referees, a culture of cheating at Barcelona, etc. Wouldn't it be hilarious?
Come on, Rafa, hurry up and get the sack.
I look at this pic and hear the famous Oppenheimer quote in my head.

Not saying he is definitely going to fail if he would be our manager but He does have a clueless look about him doesn't he
I understand the reasons for not wanting him - lack of youth, conduct and attacking football would be prime among them. I believe though that United need to get back to winning trophies ASAP. They're probably going to go 3 seasons winning nothing they can't let that extend any further than that. Get back to winning things, then worry about what it all looks like aesthetically speaking etc. Guardiola is ideal but if he goes to City, United could do worse than appointing Mourinho.I don't want him here.
Those who want LvG sacking so that they get exciting football AND trophies may have to wait a little bit longer. There are three proven managers who could bring it on. Shame one has signed the papers with Bayern for the 2016/17 season, second has his statue outside Old Trafford and won't be managing again and the third one is hidden somewhere in Bavaria dungeons and like Fergie, won't come back to the sidelines.
I wonder what are those who opted for 'I want excitement before winning' thinking now that we've been linked with Mourinho. Assuming they're not hypocrites and haven't already voted for Mourinho in this very thread.
Who is the one hidden in the dungeons of Bavaria?
As for wanting excitement before winning, I think what we are seeing right now is a simple case of needing to secure the clubs immediate future before worrying about anything else, I mean LvG, Mourinho and Giggs seem to be the 3 options and Mourinho is the only one that has any track record in the PL while none of them would guarantee us exiting football.
Just has to be Mourinho. If we don't go for him now, we'll never get him.

Pep is unattainable.
LVG is cracking.
Giggs is experience-less
Carlo won't move for a while and is a 'ship steadier' - our ship is sinking!
Simple really.
Certain gentleman who somehow managed to make Pep look like a downgrade and who played the most exciting football (and won things) I've seen outside of Fergie's best sides, Jupp Heynckess.
I don't suggest Mourinho would be bad - because he'd be the best alternative if we do sack Van Gaal - but merely points out at the obvious hypocrisy and 'rationale' in here. I don't make myself to look better and lie that all I want is excitement because that's bollocks. Nobody likes losing. I'm of the opinion that trophies are the most important in football and henceforth, you can't argue Mourinho's delivered that.
Before that season, that is. Which, again, is funny logic. People want to get rid of Van Gaal because he lost the dressing room and the footie's boring. What do they propose? Replacing him with the guy who, despite being the leading icon of Chelsea and delivering PL title just last season, has fallen with his dressing room so badly that some of the players refused to play for him and are finding themselves near relegation zone. What's more, that's the manager that, according to the fans of his former clubs, has played 'good' football in 2.5 season since coming to England for the first time.
That's what irks me. Those seemingly rational, logical, sensible opinions that are nothing more than desperate calls caused by anger.
All the more reason to hold out.
I highly doubt that. Even a great manager like Mourinho needs a little time. It took him a season to get Chelsea from 3rd to 1st.and Maurinho is the only one who can still get us the title This season. Without him, we are pretty much writing off this season. I doubt even 4th place is attainable.
After about 400 anti-Mourinho posts you still have yet to provide a credible alternative. Has anything hit you yet?All the more reason to hold out.
Heynckess was pretty decent at Madrid by all accounts, he won them UCL I believe in just one season he was there. He was mostly come and go from there on to Bayer. In germany he's found his feet again and did a great job. His third stint at Bayern was so good that I could watch them like excited which is alien to me for a non-United side.Ah Heynckess, wasn't that his only real spell in such a high light though? I also guessing you're a wingers and speed guy?
I think what you're seeing isn't so much hypocrisy it's people saying that if we can't have a manager that plays good football then we might as well have a winner, ideally though they'd take a manager who'd give us some attractive football and stayed in the top 4 mix before they took Jose, but there isn't anyone to fit that bill.
Mourinho's last last spell with Chelsea was not inspiring and is a cause for concern I agree, I guess the general hopes is that it would be an anomaly.

Yes, I'm that wing-play, 4-4-2 guy that fought a losing battle on here when the performances under Fergie the 'dinosaur' (as he was called back then) decreased and everyone's dream was possession 'modern' football. I think it's only fair to assume we've we seen a bloody U-turn now.
You make some good points about fans' perception and it's good to know you can hear sense amidst all that is happening on here atm.
