Yes but if you continue to believe you are the best manager in the world you have to keep coming up with novel reasons why your team is a bit shite that are somehow not your fault.
It'll probably be the players' diets next.

Woodward will be the last to know that he's going there as well.
Levy would sanction it to Real (Modric, Bale) for half of what we've got to pay.
Pochettino isn't happening. Zidane doesn't want it. Remember this post.
You're not a fan of this club and you have to go.
Ok, sure. Agreed. It would be a toss up between us and Madrid. I just think he would definitely be willing to leave Spurs for either of these clubs. At the end of the day, money is a powerful motivator for any man.
Mourinho wont quit before he gets his hard earned money. The United job is a hard one and he must get his compensation for having to endure all this psychocological trauma, not to mention the constant danger of getting infected by highly toxic viruses...
Respect!
JM must be biggest ffa cnut when it comes to managers, not surprised but really disappointed with him and his ways.
I think our willingness to give him time and not insist on instant success would probably be enough to sway him over in our favour. Madrid are quite trigger happy if the results doesn't show right away.
I get that but I feel that managers see Real Madrid as the ultimate challenge, they don't necessarily look for safety and one of the big things abour Madrid is that it doesn't have any influence on the rest of your career because it's considered like the impossible task.
This. You don't turn down Real.
The lads must be back on the chips.
Agreed, Jose and Mendes are too good at this while Woodward seems lost. Feels like there's a game being played in the background and the fans, along with some players are the real losers in all this.
Yep I get where you're coming from and as I said in order threads I can't really see him picking us over Madrid either. I guess I'm playing devil's advocate on this one.

We are both working for the devil then. I see why he would choose United but I also see why he would choose Real Madrid, whether we like it or not Real Madrid are the most special club in football.
Obviously this. The idea that he wouldn't want to come here is strange imo.
He took Southampton as far as they could go then moved on. He's taken Spurs as far as they can go considering the financial constraints. If he's ambitious and wants to stay in England United would be the logical next step.
Like it or not, I have to agree. Real Madrid gotta be the crown jewel of both playing and managerial career.
Relieved as I am to hear it, this Poch news just shows the club has no figure running it with any kind of foresight. We could have gone for him last year before his and Jose's extensions. Would have saved 40mil and we would have never needed to pay Jose another 20m severance.
Presently these poor decisions will cost us 60mil and a wasted season

I'm still not too sure if he will end up leaving. He might feel comfortable at Spurs and getting into top 4 is enough for him for now. Life is also pretty great in London, especially if you make what Poch make a year. There's a lot of pressure at Spurs. United and Madrid bring a whole level of pressure, something he might not want now or ever.
Yh I've started to think he might be thinking he's got it pretty sweet - don't get me wrong there is pressure at Spurs but they can play every season with nowhere near the level of pressure he'd face if he moved to an RM, United or PSG type club where expectations (particularly in United's case) are very different to the current reality.
It's all about timing and it would have been a career suicide move to go to RM post Zidane. It's a good time for him to move to United (if he wanted to) because it's off the back off a few poor seasons and he'd no doubt get a ridiculous budget from a now desperate Woodward & a huge amount of time from fans and the board should things start poorly. With RM, maybe he can just wait to see how things go - they've got a bit of a changing of the guard happening and some of their best players are getting towards the end of their careers.
What news? Thought the latest is that there hasn't been any contact with him or have I missed something?
Are you serious mate? United is still and will always be a bigger attraction than Spurs. Do you remember the mess Spurs were in before Poch comes and establish them as a Top 4 side?
Why would he leave Spurs for United? More money? more exposure? more prestige? more transfer fund?
People seems to forget that before Mourinho went to Madrid, they were in the same state than us, buying expensive flops and not doing great in their league and CL. This United is still an easy job, a paradise for every manager because expectations are very low. United is still a safe bet than Madrid, I'd say you have more chance of destroying your career at Madrid than at United (see what happened with Lopetegui, this would not be possible at United). I think LVG and Mourinho have fooled people into thinking that we're in a terrible state that we're heading into the abysses but it's not true; if Mourinho wasn't such a bellend we wouldn't be in this mess.
United are a good manager away from being a force again. This team finished 2nd last season and everyone was saying that we underachieved before Mourinho started to manipulate people's mind telling us that we aren't good. With a new manager and addition of 2 or 3 players we can compete again with the big.
Should have said 'Poch rumour' but denial that contact has been made should be in the interest of all parties so I expect no different if it were true
It's easier to compete with 1 team than to compete with 5, one of them is owned by a whole country, not to mention, Madrid is far more prestigious as a job than any English job will ever be, only top reds will disagree on that. Madrid is the pinnacle of football. That's not to get into how their squad is just better and only needs 1 or 2 attackers up front, and more settled too.
If everyone in this thread, you yourself included were offered to choose 1 of these 2 jobs you'll choose Madrid 9 times out of 10. Let's not delude ourselves.
By all accounts he already has...
It's like The Simpsons' monorail episode.
The question was us vs Madrid. My answer would be totally different if we were competing for his signature with Bayern Munich or Juventus.
Ah gotcha. Yeah would expect a denial whether or not it was true. It's a bit odd that the club saw the need to quash this rumour though.
Yeah and I'm replaying based on that ? Madrid is still a better choice, competing with 1 team rather than 5, one owned by a whole country, and better squad missing only goal scorer up front. No brainer for any manager really.
In Dreamland José is 'reluctantly' released to manage Real, with Real paying up his contract, United employ Jardim on a 2.5 year contract, PSG agree to a swap deal Mbappe for Lukaku. Matic to Real, where Varane is disappointed that José is back, decides to join United. De Gea signs a new 5 year contract. Chong, Gomes, Greenwood get chances to play for first team, Jardim gets Pogba to perform for 90 minutes.
And tell me I lack respect.
Translation - He won't leave without getting his compensation. Fair enough, just wish those stingy Glazer cnuts would boot him now.
The source is someone named 'Morge Jendes'.I think that I missed these rumours.
Just like I said earlier it feels like Woodwar is being played around with. Mendes and Mournhio are a lot more experience and better with their media handling.
No but seriously at the exception of a couple of lame sources claiming that Mourinho was thinking about resigning(I think that I saw a title from the Daily Star). I don't think that there has been any solid rumours that would lead to an official comment from Mendes.
