Wilf McGuiness' teams were legendary for their daring do.

Who can forget cavalier cut & thrust of Dave Sexton's legends ?

Sky sports news must still be slow.

Class-less scum..

I think Mourinho is a great appointment for Utd. Just what they need to re-install the great attacking football so beloved of the red hordes ;-)

Classy club for a classy guy.

This is a vanity appointment, more about having a big name than what they really need on the football side. The toxic one will continue the decline of the evil empire and as City fans we must all be very thankful.

Welcome to Trafford Jose !

Mendis must be licking his lips, as he does all the new arrival deals...

"Derring-do is the standard spelling of the noun meaning daring deeds or heroic daring (used especially in reference to swashbuckling heroes).
The phrase originated in a late 14th-century Geoffrey Chaucer poem, and it has taken many forms over the years—including durring don (in Chaucer, literally meaning daring to do), dorryng do, derring doe, and derrynge do.
And given the term’s meaning and history, it is often understandably spelled daring-do. But as far as most English reference books are concerned, derring-do has been the correct spelling since Sir Walter Scott used it in Ivanhoe in 1819.
Spelling the term daring-do is not a serious error, but some readers might consider it wrong. In any case, derring-do is the most common spelling used in published writing."

Never knew that. Thanks pal. I like you.

Van Gaal sacking confirmed. Gutted

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Was McGuiness their manager during the 73-74 relegation campaign when Stepney was their joint top scorer about 3 months in?

I think that was Tommy Docherty.

Van Gaal sacking confirmed. Gutted

He hasn't been sacked. His contract has been ended early.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Fact is..the rags didn't want Jose..they genuinely wanted Pocchetino

He's obviously snubbed them and they have no other option now

I was only posting a few days ago that I couldn't see the Glazers wanting someone like Mourinho for all sorts of reasons. I can only surmise that they've decided it's shit or bust.

Being out of the top four is hurting them financially and I'm not convinced they're awash with ready cash. They certainly won't be when Mourinho and Mendes get going.

Win a cup, sack your manager. Richest club in the world and no class.

i only found out about it recently.
i like derrynge do.

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

Odds on them announcing this as a mutual parting instead of a sacking ?

Us or them?
