Mourhino is on his way to City.....

[Danamy]

You would blow a gasket if Mancini ever did what Mourinho did tonight. You would rage on here insulting anyone daring to disagree with you calling them seventeen kinds of stupid amongst other sneering ad hominem attacks on their intelligence, upbringing, et al. and it would last for weeks. You would bring it up months and years later as "evidence" of Mancini's unfitness especially how it had undermined his players after a big win. You're a big one for whining like a small, spoiled child every time Mancini criticizes a player. Well, Mourinho just criticized his entire starting eleven plus subs publicly. He just undermined his squad as you've insisted Mancini has done when he criticizes publicly.

If he did it to motivate them to play better in the next round, I'm for it. It's effective. It's a sometimes necessary tactic. But I'm not going to be a hypocrite and lambast Mancini for doing it.

Taconinja you are one of the best posters on this and other mourinho threads
At least you list all his faults at the same time as saying he is a great manager

I appreciate the debate and think both sides have a point. Honestly the only reason I've even considered it might be best to let Mancini go this season is if he had lost the dressing room. It looked like it after Southampton, but the squad seems to have rallied and it doesn't appear in spite of Mancini.

As for Mourinho's comments tonight... I don't think they're a lobbying attempt to get that job. I think it's a parting shot at Madrid and especially the players he feels weren't in his corner. That's just speculation though, and only as valid as any other speculation.

Exactly how I saw his comments, he felt they weren't good enough tonight and got lucky with the card.

I have no idea if Mourinho was up to something with his comments or just being honest. No one should be surprised if he was just being respectful to his pal Ferguson. Mourinho is not a City supporter, he's not spent years and years loathing Whiskey Breath, he has a completely different view of the man from us.

If he was sucking up to the Rags, that's not going to be what gets him a job there. If, as some are speculating, he has already got the job at the Swamp, he would not need to suck up and it would be wholly inappropriate for him to give off a big signal that he was on his way there, given that Utd are a quoted company.

Maybe Ferguson is so distraught because it was his last crack at the UCL; maybe it will just harden his resolve to be there next season to try and win it once more before he retires.

Oooh, the tension.

Sorry there is absolutely no way Mourinho meant what he said after the match. Imho this was just trolling from him.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 06, 2013 1:25 am --<br /><br />Sorry there is absolutely no way Mourinho meant what he said after the match. Imho this was just trolling from him.

Its no fucking wonder poor old Fergie is distraught, imagine how you'd feel having Mourinho's head stuck so far up your arsehole.

Not really interested in Mourinho's comments; they can be interpreted in anyway one wishes. I am more concerned that tactically for much of the game he appeared to come off second best. The game was certainly in United's hands until the sending off.

Gotta love the meltdown at rag cafe, thoroughly enjoying myself reading through their deluded bile

If we offered Mourinho the job and £50million+ to spend tomorrow I bet you he'd accept. His sycophancy of the scum is off-putting but he'd be back to his dickish best if he took over at City or Chelsea. At the moment he is in romantic "I love English football mode" but only until he comes back.

Just read through and agree.

Wasn't keen on his tone overall but there's some hyperbole going on about him suddenly being nailed on for the rags.

I think Pep will go there after Munich. Moyes is a very likely link too, more likely than Jose anyway imho.

Nothings changed for me, he showed that he wanted to not be part of limelight and controversy. Was respectful and made his quip. Cosy tone to United but it's common knowledge he and Ferguson have time for one another.

I can understand people thinking it was a ploy for United, I can see that angle myself. I doubt it though and go with the above.<br /><br />-- Tue Mar 05, 2013 11:29 pm --<br /><br />

I think he's trying to open as many doors as he can.

Moaninho only cares about one thing.
Himself.
Always has, always will.
That is the reason why I have always and will always detest him wherever he ends up, and will NEVER accept him as a City manager no matter how many trophies he might bring, they would always be tainted.
Very happy tonight that I spent much of the evening watching a very good German side progress and then turned over to see the rags go out and the arrogant twat show himself for what he really is.
And to see that quite a few fellow Citizens now seem to agree with me... farewell and goodnight.
