According to some reports we were lining him up to succeed Guardiola. Down as one of the best young managers in Europe, but that will no be the world.

We're always telling them shit like that.

Now the comments from Mourinho in his pre-match presser for the Fenerbahce game begin to make sense. He said he might come back to the Premier League to help a club stave off relegation. He has previously alluded to having unfished business with this outfit too. So Van Horseface till the end of the season or whenever The Deluded One inevitably gets sacked.

Mourinho casting his bait to see who bites?

van Horseface gave up a managers job to come to old scaffold. Seemed obvious, to me at least, that he could see the managers job at the end of it. Where does he stand if Amorim takes over? Surely Amorim will want to bring in his own staff. Maybe he'll just gallop off into the sunset.

With a very long face.

Joint manager with Mourinho & Amorin…..

When agent Berrada made that statement had he factored in sacking the current manager?

Like a typical Sales & Marketing guy he came up with a date not based on Football but on a brand campaign that they will be 150 years old in 3 years…… even though they’ll actually be 125 years old.
 
When City were in the doldrums, we had potential, hence the takeover.
The rags aren't quite in the doldrums, but where is their potential?
Their stadium leaks and needs upgrading.
Their squad is poor and overvalued.
The Glazers want their dividends.
Their credit card is maxxed out on the strength of their 'istree.
AND they have FFP/APT to contend with.

Even if the whole shebang was for sale in 98p world I don't think that there would be too many bidders.
(unless it was for tax reasons ))).
 
If you look at the top club managers in the last decade, they come from 3 countries: Spain, Germany and Italy, not so much Portugal or the Netherlands, No Dutch manager has ever had any success in England except the odd cup win, and only Mourinho from Portugal.

It's great. I used to find this sort of coverage sickening (and, obviously, ludicrous) but now I love it as it's an example of the root cause of their continued shitness - the belief that they are inherently different and better than other clubs.

It's half right I suppose - they are different. Different and shitter.

Listened to Schmeichel trotting out the usual tropes last night on Radio 5 and no **** pulled him up on it. It’s actually insane the levels of Nelsonian blindness when it comes to to fabled ‘United way’.

They’ve actually been relatively shite for the majority of the last half century, but there’s this hive mentality that their rightful place is at the top.

As you say, long may it continue.
 
I hear Sky are changing their tune and questioning United's sanity. There seems to be creeping doubts about his lack of experience and the absolute state of the pub shite standards of much of the Portuguese League. No way to run a football club, they say. Another circular firing squad pending. Red Caf a bit divided. Some of them are talking another City trolling mission.

I listened to some of that. Absolute horse shit. No one is ever going to call them on it as it has gone on too long now.
 
They had a relatively good period under the Pisscan/Gill/Riley/Clattenburg/Webb organisation, but before and since they have been nothing to write home about.
They have had the media lauding their every move since the formation of the club, and have attracted money because of it. In terms of the football on the pitch it's all been long-ball stuff, hoofing it up the other end (saw highlights of one of their games recently, Schmeichel did nothing but outdo Jordan Pickford with his booting up the field), so what this mythical u*ited way is supposed to be a reference to I have no idea.

Mega-succes is something that happens now and again in football, no club will ever reign supreme forever, it just isn't like that, and the rags should look at the likes of Preston North End for giants that had their day long ago and have since faded into relative obscurity.
 
If they do get Amorin.......

Pep may be 'forced' to stay on for 2 more years.

Have the thick fucks thought this through?
