Tunnel bust-up after derby

I'm not sure about that. Ancelotti would take that job.

There's a reason United have been dragging their heels on a contract extension that Mourinho has less than two years to run.

Caught between a rock and a hard place of not wanting to pay out huge compo in the future.

Mourinho tends to get a new contract and get sacked soon after.

One name I have not heard mentioned but could be on the market in the summer is Zidane, they are well off the pace in La Liga and potentially being knocked out by PSG could end their season. If you aint doing it in Madrid they get rid as soon as possible and don't care how many champions leagues you have landed previously.

He would be a big name to attract players and change the playing style as I dont think the fact they used to be good and have 650 plastics world wide is a reason for a top player to go sign for them at the moment.
 
The only thing that worries me about Mourinho's difficulties is that I can remember clearly the mounting difficulties of another obnoxious *!$** thirty years ago and United's response was to throw more and more money at the problem each year, as the fury of their fans - funnily enough only about 35000 then - grew, until seven years later the manager got it right. My real hope and belief is that it is a completely different world now and the shareholders won't be allowed to bale Mourinho out like they did the old bacon faced one, but the football his teams played was just as boring as the stuff Mou's lot dish up. Hopefully Mourinho is genuinely past his sell-by date as a coach and tactician and that his accusations that City players dive and commit tactical fouls (didn't they used to be known as "professional" fouls? - and no English side ever stooped to those depths!) along with his assertion that celebrating a win is lacking respect, were simple preparations fealing with the defeat he knew to be inevitable because he has no answer to this City team. It isn't working with the United fans I know. They all find him an embarrassment, hate the football served up and admit freely to their admiration of Pe p. Many in the media seem to have reached a tipping point on Sunday, but the Mail is still having a go at perpetuating this image of Mourinho as the smooth operator, always in control and always coming out on top - with an article headed "Now Mourinho lands a verbal blow on Guardiola", though I see that even this has been changed. Let's hope, as you suggest Ric, that these are the first signs of a period of turbulence and chaos at OT which paralyses them for years. All "Mou" might need now is embroiling in another "gender issue".

Good points, but I think the difference is that in the late 80's the rags really only had Liverpool and Arsenal to usurp before they could reap the riches for the next 25 years. In the here and now (although the table doesnt currently tell the story) I think there are 4 or 5 teams as good if not better than them, and then City who are streets ahead. The best thing the rags could do IMO is give him time and money, let him keep spunking it up the wall on shite as we keep pulling away from them. You can roll a turd in glitter....
 
yeah, but at some point they'll try so many times they'll stumble across something.

Equally, with Pep not exactly signing a 5 year extension he's going to commit to, we need to have pick of the playing field once he goes because we can only take a step down after Pep.

I'm hoping Pep hangs around long enough for a successor to emerge from within the City group.

But the point you make there is something I've been thinking, that this period right now, could actually be the greatest in the history of the club & we all need to enjoy it.

City will always be thereabouts, but what we are seeing right now, is another level & in all the years of football in this country, there has never been a manager who can do this.

The fact that so many reports are about Mourinho's shitty fucking behaviour, rather than the rags being owned on their patch, like never before in this league, shows both how shit & infected by wankers, the football media is in this country & also how special Pep is. They can't bear it.

When Souness & Neville both hold their hands up & say they'e seen fuck all like it, yiu know it's special.

I just hope Pep & City get the trophies the football deserves, & Mourinho is exposed for the miserable football parasite he is.
 
That vile Meerkat wannabe deserved to get a gob full of milk because he came storming into our dressing room.. How Dairy !!
