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

I will always defend Jose's talents as a manager, and I understand those who feel he may have been on a WUM.

But for me, the lickspittle apologist and downright deference towards Fergascum and that club left a nasty taste on a glorious night for me.

There are better ways for Jose to show he can tow the line, be a respectful coach and all that.

He was shaking hands for fuck sake with some of the fans as he trudged off.

Not cool.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, Tolm ;-)

I don't think he was being that clever mate.

Standard shameless whoring for a job he always does. I just don't like how he is all "I'll suck your's for a job" with them lot and "you'll have to suck mine" if we want him.

He can go fuck himself.

Notwithstanding the trudging off took place with a scowl and before the final whistle was blown
He wants to be a rag

He doesn't need to do that. He is managing the biggest club in the world and his record speaks for himself.
If they wanted to employ him the base judgement on all but last night, it's downright ridiculous to say lastnight will go towards getting him the job. He was on the list when he won the treble with Inter, then took the league off Barca in record fashion.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 06, 2013 10:31 am --<br /><br />Oh and those saying 'aah fuck him, let him go to United'. Tell you fucking now, you will regret saying that. Them getting him is a big blow for us. I'd sooner PSG snap him up!

We specifically discussed Mourinho in Jan 2010. The interviews were with very senior MCFC officials. I did talk about this on BM in a thread when people were claiming Mourinho was coming some time ago. It was all going to appear in my book "The Journey" (which may never appear now sadly). This is part of a quote that was going in: "There had also been discussions with other prominent managers. One wanted to take more of a football director role while another wanted an extravagant salary and gave the impression he would only be here for a short period. We didn’t want either of those situations. We wanted someone who would commit and who would be a true coach, manager, call it what you will.”

Cheers for that Gary. Why is it looking like The Journey will never appear? Worst comes to worst and you can't get a publisher, couldn't you self-publish as an eBook on Amazon like David Mooney did with Typical City?

Long story but it's not because I can't get a publisher. Other books have now come out that mean that, no matter how factual and how many 100s of hours of interviews performed at all levels, it would be perceived as 'old news' or a cash-in or a sycophantic story. When I updated and revised my Joe Mercer biog one review claimed it was cashing in on the popularity of Shindler's fictional (definitely fictional) book on Mercer-Allison - even though mine was the original book and a biog of his entire life... oh, and it was factual!

With my latest book one review has suggested I've been too supportive of the current regime - yet it's written and researched with hard evidence and a level that matches the Swales, Lee, Wardle periods. My judgements were based on facts etc. So, would "The Journey" get the right support? All open to question.

There's more to it than that but to say I'm disappointed is a huge understatement. I did include some of it in "Manchester The City Years", but there's some great stuff sat on my shelf (all verified via recorded interviews) which I'd love to publish - "maybe in another generation when other lads have come to take our place" it'll find its way into print.

'Showed humility and humbleness'?
We are talking Mourinho here - a man who makes hardcore cocaine addicts look unsure of themselves and full of self-doubt.
When has he ever shown this deep-rooted attribute before?
The man really couldn't have been more fawning and ingratiating if he had offered the Glazers a go on his wife whilst he cleaned the staff toilets with his Matalan coat,before felching ticket tout Baldy Charlton.
I really think that his admirers are clutching at fast disappearing straws now,because that display last night was embarrassingly cringeworthy.

Everything about that post is bitter and resentful really. You can pull him to shreds but the way you get personal to get your point across let you down. I dont mean to be arsey either.

A leopard may not be able to change his spots but you can't fault for at least trying?

I told you he was an utter **** mate :)

You might be right mate. My argument has always been that Mancini has taken us far as he can, he's simply not good enough.

Certainly not better than Mourinho. But I won't compromise my beliefs and hatred for that fucking club.

Jose and his people have approached our club very recently about our job.

I can't reconcile this with what I saw and listened to last night, though. I fear we are treading a well worn path once more.

Jose wanting to be all things to all people, keeping his options open. That's fine, and it's his call.

But not at the expense of City. Both sides of the ongoing debate can tailor to see fit.

People said Jose was auditioning for the City job not long ago, when he talked about working with pressure, a sheepish wave to our fans as we told him to 'fuck off Mourinho'.

He is becoming emboldened again by recent results and that makes him a dangerous individual to predict.

He showed all his genius last night by taking Arbeloa off when Nani saw red - he knew his own player was on a yellow and it could be evened up very quickly.

The introduction of Modric was spot on. Ferguson was too caught up in the emotion of it all for 17 minutes before he decided to act.

That's what makes him great.

Keane was at his pertinent best last night - along with his comments about the red card - he insisted Mourinho's comments didn't suit him, made him look weak.

Sorry to sound like a KNI but I really do hahaha.

Check my posts. Modric to shore up midfield and Arbeloa off and Pepe on.

The day in the life of a wikipedia chancer apparently.
