Hughes future being considered.

[CooperMcfcF/W]

I was told that City were already talking to Mourinho about a month ago. Ajay has also posted about this too. I think Mourinho is a possible but not whilst Inter are riding high. Didn't Mourinho have a pop at Italian football recently and intimate that the Premiership was the place to be?

When Ajay posted about Jose, he said that Mourinho had approached City. Fascinating. Mourinho has had a lot to say about the Italian media, why Serie A is not watched and enjoyed by as many as enjoy the PL, why some people consider Italian football boring (he said it may be a coaches dream, tactically, but as a spectacle it could be downright boring, and "we" - the Italian managers association - ought to just own up to it, and people in England won't stand for that style of football: something he has been accused of practicing at Chelsea, and I took that as a nod to his critics in England, i.e. I get it). He was publicly chastised by the president of the italian calcio for speaking (out) in an undignified manner, he's had a lot of flak from Inter supporters and so on. He has said he wants to come to England, and also he intends to go to Spain. He's accused some players in the PL of diving...it all keeps his name in the press. His very forst remarks about comng back to England where in October (I think), but they were unsolicited,....hmmmm. He does not have the money he wants to spend. He's not the centre of the footballing world. Mancini was fired because he couldn't get Inter european success, that's what they are expecting from Jose. That is why he is there, no other reason. I think the chances of him going to United are zero. Who is AF? God? He speaks and it comes to pass? Jose Mourinho will not make a name for himself at United, and neither will anyone else. Anyone who goes there is on a hiding-to-nothing. Anyone who thinks the old Scots whinger won't be sticking his oar in even if he retires is smoking illegal. AF just came out a few days ago, praising all his back room staff, saying how wonderful they all were. Take that anyway you want, I know how I would take it if I was a prospective manager. Then there is the issue of transfer funds...United? Jose? I think Chelsea gave him a taste for large funds and City can more than match Chelsea. At City Jose would have the opportunity to create his own history, rather than be a footnote to Bacon Face. Is there more glory in raising a club like City to the highest levels, or keeping Man Urinal ticking along? I'm sure opinions will vary.

Fantastic post by some one who is intelligent and knows how people work in the game.

Real Madrid get rid of there Managers all the time & they have done OK in the trophy department

Real Madrid have always been one of the biggest clubs in the world with a plethora of talent, its ridiculous to even try and compare our situations here.

 

[mat]

I've said it before Jose would love to come here and be the centre of attention once more. He'd rub it to sir phalixs face with numerous press conferences reminding him theres only one Maanchester club.The attraction to shit on his doorstep would be too good for him to turn down.

That’s quick that mate !!!!,quite possibly the only exception on the entire planet.

I don’t think it has paid off for us though

Do you ?

Real are not the exception by a long way:

Inter, 25 changes since mid 70s. Milan 26 changes. Barcelona 26 changes. Juventus 13 changes. Bayern 17 changes. River Plate 24 changes. Boca Juniors 41 changes.

I suppose that although these clubs change managers frequently, they have an underlying philosophy and the money and attitude to back it up. Stability is in cash and the director of football business, rather than "in the dressing room". I don't know.

They also have the dreaded "Director of Sports" who basically buys and hires all coaches, and all players and might be in the club for decades giving a lot of stability to the situation.

It´s not a situation we are in...

And they all have full trophy cabinets.

 

[SeriousSam]

Hope we get rid soon as, would rather have a squad of rejuvenated players rather than waste money on 5 players Hughes can infect with his monotone tactics.

 

[GStar]

If this true, i hope any "world class" names are stil lbeing worked on and have had the situation ,and the new manager, explained to them.

Irrelevant..all clubs in these leagues got them.
