Would be ridic.
I'd be absolutely gutted.
Jose to Portugal is probably just Mendes trying to accelerate the United deal.
Exactly.
Unfortunately this is probably the case.
Or Porto?
Where does it say he is going to Portugal?
If he doesn't want to uproot his family, international management makes sense. It's basically a paid holiday for most of the year, and when he actually has to work in the summer his kids are on vacation anyway.
Good life.
Good life.
I might actually join the meltdown for once if this actually happens.
Mourinho going to Portugal would push me over the edge.
To be honest, if he reports Mourinho to Portugal I would simply see it as a tactic to push United along.
I can see him managing them in a few years but theres no way I can see Mourinho leaving club management like he did. He'll want to turn that around.

He just said last week that his next job is in England..
And that'd mean there's no agreement in place.
did he?
Oh please let this happen..
This happens then what? Poch? He'll stay at Spurs.. Giggs? Give me a break.
He told Sky Sports about his desire to keep his family in London and they were at an age when they needed stability etc..
He threw in a 'He doesnt know where football will take him' but you couldnt expect anything less tbh.
City fan...
I know, I was just asking the question.
I'd take mid table mediocrity over "a chance of success" with Mourinho for 2-3 years. (there is no way he stays any longer than that)
There have to be other competent managers who can take a side with crazy resources and make them decent... till we find someone better.
No idea. Mourinho isn't the ideal way forward but he's pretty much the only way forward at the moment.
It's inevitable when there is so much weight of a story but no official confirmation that somebody will throw a spanner in the works to sell a story. Happens a lot at United since Woodward took over, with the constant dithering and complete silence until the end of a process.
Unfortunately it looks like Mendes/Jose trying to force our hand..
Don't do it Woody...
Don't do it Woody...
Mourinho and Mendes are playing hardball in order to get his biggest paycheck yet. I hope he does go to Portugal and we can land Pochettino.
I'm still trying to figure out why Pochettino would come to us. Spurs are playing better than us and he will be in the CL next season. We need him more than he needs us.
We have no chance of getting Pochettino.
City fan worried about Jose at United
Collymore thinks a Jose Mourinho/Gary Neville dream team would revive Manchester United

Perhaps a Mourinho and Phil Neville double team would be better, has more experience
This makes a lot more sense to me then what we were hearing before - one of Mourinho and Mendes' pet hacks writing that nothing is agreed with United, that Jose might well go elsewhere rather than United, etc. - makes more sense to me, that's seems a pretty blatant agent leak designed to aid negotiations, and to put pressure on the other side. That would mean that something is actually happening.
For me this gives more hope to the pro-Mourinho side of the argument at this stage.

Why can't we just give him the job today?
I wonder how many of those 551 who voted 'no' still hold that opinion?
A wise man had shown the way forward, back in Feb '16. If only Woody had read it, it would not have led to the episode of LvG blasting club recently.
A lot of them I imagine. I think a lot of them would still vote no even if we were to win a Premier League and Champions League double.
I've changed my mind. Shouldn't be surprising the number of 'no' votes given the timing the thread started. Complete implosion in the final year at Chelsea, the stuff with the doctor and the sad stuff with his dad on his mind.
A couple of years prior to the thread starting, Mourinho was the favourite option by far to succeed Sir Alex. Just my opinion but over half of those who voted 'no' in 2015 would have voted 'yes' in 2013.
First few pages are pretty interesting.
