Might as well ask me if I'd be happy with him going on a live children's television show and digesting a turd sandwich, it's about as relevant right now considering he hasn't actually done it and probably won't.
Jose Mourinho. Took teams like Inter and Porto who were nowhere close to the top to domestic titles and Champions league victories. Responsible for more than half of Chelsea's history and has just over a year ago won the premier league. If this man can't do the job, who can? Giggs?
Anyone who doubts Jose is talking nonsense. I believe van Gaal is also a great manager but he suffered from lack of commitment from his players, the same thing Jose is talking about.
You've missed the point. The manager isn't right by default simply by virtue of winning something in the past.
And if they then go missing for longer periods in the season it causes more issues. They are not workhorses, they need to have time to recover. Pogba today was very good, but I would probably argue that he wasn't really injured, more not at full peak performance.
It's obviously relevant to my point which was that a managers past record doesn't mean his every decision right now is the correct one. And Mourinho last season proved that himself otherwise he wouldn't have that gigantuc turd of a season at Chelsea. Nor the start he's made at United in fact.

Agree massively here. Think the club in general has just taken a wrong turn since Fergie left and so many thing have gone against what we stood for before. We started throwing money at big names to make headlines and all that, cared more about the sponsorships and how to make more money instead of how to progress as a club. Many fans includong myself thought it didnt really matter in the end, but it just feels wrong seeing it and it seems like a distraction to everyone. All that includes agebts. Started giving into whatever agents wanted, spending ridiculous amounts of money and giving players ridiculous wages even if they didnt deserve it. The result is a lot of players, mercenaries as we would call them when they went to city, who just arent 100% committed. Not all the signings have been like that of course, and I do think Mourinho is a bit like Sir Alex in his mentality. So I am more then willing to give Mou full control to basically get the club back on track, and if that means a huge clear out then so be it. Keep those who are willing to give 100% every game, who want to be here and those who dont crumble under the expectation. Fergie might have shifted a bit too much toward having mentally strong players instead of talent on the pitch by the end, but it worked for him. And we also had a few great players so it worked for him. Its no wonder that we have been so bad when conceding the opening goal in recent years, too many on the pitch are usually content with moving on to the next game instead of showing resilience and believing they can come back, and I think Mourinho sees it the same way. Wouldnt surprise me at all to see Mourinho be a lot more consistent with his selections and stick with a core group from now on who he can trust to be resilient and not crumble under a bit of pressure. For the rest, they have to show they can change in training first and fight theyre way into the team instead of having people complain on twitter or whatever.
We have half a billion spent in players. Do they play like that?
Fully agree with you.
Total Goals Scored by United in the season:
No they dont play like that but publicly calling out players is high risk. I hope he knows what he is doing.
So a total rookie manager has just as much chance of making the correct managerial decisions as an experienced serial winner of football's highest honours? Well then what are you waiting for, whack off your CV to Ed Woodward pronto! Of course you would reference Mourinho's last season at Chelsea, it's all you can do really, as if it wasn't a total one-off and probably due to a whole cacophony of issues that will never be brought to public light and as if it completely erases the many many years of success he had alongside this. Klopp had a far worse half season than Mourinho at Dortmund so presumably he's even more useless?
Spot on.
I would strongly disagree. Getting rid of RVN was vital as it gave the opportunity to Luis Saha playing at No.9 who was more mobile than RVN. That was the whole point of Ferguson when he first started preferring Saha over RVN. Even though its the Final of Carling cup which made the headlines about RVN exit but the truth is that Ferguson started playing Saha over RVN in the last few matches.
