If that's not mutual animosity then I'd like to know what is.

I'm waiting for the Mario/Bobby Manc training pitch bust-up. Can't be far off.

Ouch not a happy camp.

Catch 22 for this lot now. Do they sack mourinho or do they ship out pogba

Pogba is a mass marketing tool nothing more - he is a glorified social media modern age footballer, all style no substance. But will the powers that be want to offload shirt sales etc etc

Mourinho - a manager with a track record of winning silverware, but is now behind the times in football terms. More recognised now as causing a shit storm. But who would they replace him with and who would take the job.

There is still a massive rebuilding job needed at the swamp and as mentioned above they may not have the ability to do this after the next big window if they dont get it right

To be honest Mourinho is a great manager, honestly he is. His track record speaks for itself and he would do a lot of good at most clubs, I think he is better suited though at relatively poorer clubs where he can build the teams he wants. His problem is the club he is at, he has been found out in England mostly because he has inherited a dressing rooms of egos and a culture that someone like Pep wouldn't touch with a bargepole.

For them it comes down to transfer policy and he either has no say or very little say and that is pretty much why they are in the state they are. He hasn't got the backing to get rid of the rot and buy in the team he wants, he didn't have that at Chelsea really the second time around either.

For them spending £200m on Pogba or £300k a week on Sanchez is more important than using a portion of that to get them a Bernardo Silva, Gundogan and Fernandinho.

He won't go I don't think but to be honest it is pointless any manager going there because they are only interested in signing players that sell shirts.

PEG is a coward. he hasn't got the balls of Bobby Manc to get physical with a player.

On paper the players are decent, i just don't think the're being managed well.

Pogba is a bloody good player, he's just not being played right and that's down to the manager

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Interesting how his reputation has changed since Madrid, prior to that man management was meant to be his strongest suit.
He probably has changed as a person over the last six or seven years quite a lot.

Living out of a suitcase (albeit a very expensive suitcase) for the last few years is bound to have effected him, but then he was a massive c**t before that anyway.
