'Orns Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 United had to do something big after a barren couple of years after SAF left, and City getting Guardiola Been common knowledge for years that United was THE role JM always wanted, will certainly be interesting to watch. I hope he's the JM that first came over, not the whingy wankpuffin (thanks @Tomarse) from the second spell at Chelsea Can't say I watch a lot of Prem football, but with Leicester, Klopp a great young Tottenham team and these two going at it maybe I'll find some interest again next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've always liked Jose (except for the recent treatment of the Lady Physio, ) but I didn't want him to go there. Granted it's not as bad as seeing Moysie in the job, but still wish Jose had gone elsewhere. Hate ManU and want to see them stuffed every week. i don't think he'll last long either.

LondonBristolian Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's a tough one. Given his record, you feel it's not going to end well in two or three years time but you'd have to expect them to improve in the short-term. It makes it really interesting next season - arguably the two best managers in the world are both in charge of teams that are nowhere near where they were and need massive overhauls. It'll be interesting to see how they get on. Bet Juan Mata is gutted and in frantic discussions with his agent though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted May 23, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Seems an odd appointment to me. He never seems to stay in a job very long - that in itself goes against what Utd were in the past, or maybe they realise now, Managers do come and go every 3/4 seasons and that is the way they are going to go. It'll be chuck money at a few signings -> have some success -> fall out with a senior pro -> lose the dressing room -> walk away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I think he's the man to put Man U where they've become accustomed to, but at what price? Hes not one to bring on youngsters, which is seemingly a key part of United philosophy and the football his teams play is more industrial than crowd pleasing. Should be an interesting season next year, Man City and Liverpool will be expecting their managers to deliver a challenge, and Chelsea surely can't be as bad as this year.

downendcity Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Mourinho's task is al the more difficult because Man U's spending power is not now the be all and end all. The new TV deal means that all premiership clubs can buy very good players, and hold on to their existing good players and this reduces the gap in playing quality between the so called top clubs and the rest. Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea will still be able to bring in the very top players, who would be much less likely to go to Stoke or Palace money notwithstanding, but the other teams are now stronger and much more competitive than they were 5-10 years ago. I have relatively little interest in the premier league, but look forward to seeing a few more teams being in the mix, and hopefully a few top clubs and managers being embarrassed.

EnderMB Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 A few years ago, if you were to tell most people that Mourinho and Guardiola would go toe-to-toe in the Manchester derby, most would think that Guardiola would be at United and Mourinho at City. I'd like to see Mourinho succeed, but it just feels like a very uninspired signing, to be honest. The club needs gutting. They've spent a ton of money, and have little to show for it other than a bunch of squad players. The most exciting player they have is someone they dragged from their academy due to injuries. The one area where Mourinho will have an advantage is that Fergie is a big fan of his. Mourinho also knows the size of the job at hand, so I think he'll be very receptive to any advice Fergie would be willing to give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a strong rumour that, inspite of his friendship with Mourinho, Fergie is actually the one who pushed for Moyes and not Mourinho a couple of years back. I could be wrong but I was under the impression that, along with Bobby Charlton, Ferguson was thought to be one of the main naysayers who has (or had) reservations about him taking over at the club.

As it stands the odds of Messi being in the Premier League are less than 10% and I don't see Ronaldo coming back anytime soon. What Messi has is the pinnacle, a regular Champions League finalist, and team mates perfect for the way he plays, and to add he goals and records will just increase, no doubt will be regarded by many as the finest player ever by the end of his playing days.
