Aw bless little jamie, probably wrote this whilst wearing his Phil Jones pyjamas and wrapped up in his Jesse lingard Muppets special duvet.
This geezer won't have any of it that jose is in meltdown mode.

Maureen refusing to do press conferences claiming theres a bias against his team!

Pmsl!! Thats fuckin unbelivable!! cracking point rapidly approaching ;)

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I doubt Maureen will last till the end of next season. Not sure whether that's a good thing or not.

Not good at all this we at least want him their till March 2019.

 

[goater555]

Erm. He didn’t. A few of them were fake and taking the piss.

The only fake one I'm aware of was the one about one of their youth lads being behind other squad players for playing time(From a scouser I think). The rest was said. The problem with stuff like this, it's like politics, chuck one fake comment in and everyone(like united fans now) won't believe the rest.

Not slightly similar to Bobby Manc, He was exactly what we needed when he arrived, a man who would come in and lay down a set of rules. PEG was the wrong man at the wrong time for the raggies.

I disagree.

Different styles but both toxic.

 

[asaluttar]

I think that's very apparent.

The man,due to his personality/character,has a shelf life,and it looks like it will be expiring very soon.He's similar to Mancini in that respect.

Mancini cannot be compared to him.
He had a lot more loyalty towards his players, played better football (first half of 2012 still ranks up there with 2014 and last season) and he seemed to have a genuine affinity towards City.

Yes, he was a tough, unsentimental, guy which is what we needed, but can you imagine Mourinho coming here in 2011 and how it would have ended up?

Dunno about that. Mourinho in 2011 was a different beast to Mourinho today.

Very much

Mourinho would have won things here IMO,but he would have received the bullet after a couple of seasons because of his antagonistic and egotistical nature.Similar to Mancini.

You could actually argue it was that spell at Real that turned him somewhat. Prior to that, he was egotistical for certain, but it was with a mischievous sense of humour rather than being a complete grump. Had he been elsewhere, maybe he wouldn't have ended up as Jose versus the world. Who knows?

Possibly,as probably like you,i had a fondness for him when he was at Chelsea(Post Porto) and i always looked forward to listening to him.The Chelsea supporters and players adored him during that period.

Now,he's lost the magic and developed into a complete prick.He needs a decent break and maybe come back as Portugal boss as a wind down.

 

[Henkeman]

Indeed. He was fun. Now he's not.

 

[mat]

Agent Jose.

 

[goater555]

The problem with Jose, the attitude he has only works when things are going well. He looks a bit of a cock with it when the shit hit's the fan(or his players hit the pitch :)

Incorrect, you mad person.

He may not last till the start of this season :)

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

He may not last till the start of this season :)

I'm in two minds here.

I want him to stay, because is stinking the place out with his attitude and anti-football, but I also wouldn't mind if he went because the meltdown on Sad Cafe would be epic.

The thing is, were Mourinho to go, who on earth could United bring in? As attractive a club as it is for pretty much any manager (and don't kid yourself, it absolutely is one of the plum football jobs), right now it's looking like a shredder of reputations. There'd need to be a hell of a lot of guarantees for the top guys to take it. Whatever people might think of Mourinho, their transfer strategy is a mess; it's a combination of watching who City are interested in and offer more money, and buy up the latest shiny toy.

Their transfer policy (if you can call it that) is baffling. That whole let's see who City are interested in and offer more money seemed to start with Piscan when he picked up Berbatov from the Airport. That turned out well for us in the end as it happens cos he wasn't much cop for them.
