Can we stop the Mourinho talk?

[Bungle]

I've tried to stay out of this thread the last few days because it is kopite central.

I've come to the conclusion that it's best I just ignore anyone saying they don't want Jose, or anyone who does want Benitez, as they are obviously RS.

Beautiful double bluff here by 'Toffee' Tim.

I'll take anything I read in the press with a bucket of salt with regards to managerial possibilities. If it doesn't come via official channels (or via The Esk) then it's rumour and not worth thinking about.

He can play bridesmaid to ManUre or be first choice with us. Your choice Jose, choose wisely.

FOR THE 1000TH TIME WHY DOES ANYONE PAY ANY ATTENTION TO SSN? IT'S DEFINITELY NOT LINKED TO SKY BET IS IT?

SAKE!

They're really losing some credibility from the public based on their waffling over this Mourinho to Utd story. They have been all over the place and it has been so visible that people are finally clocking on to the fact they will run anything that can increase their profits for shareholders.

Just to be safe, I'm putting everyone on ignore. Has the added benefit of making the forums a lot easier to navigate.

Wise move mate, best just leaving me and esk off ignore though as he provides decent information and I, erm, yeah so just leave esk off.

I'm going to write posts with nothing but out of context responses so other posters think I'm talking to someone they have on ignore.

If we are unable to secure Jose and...
if Koeman stays at Southampton and...
If there are doubts about De Boer due to Martinezesque possession tactics or lack of first hand knowledge of the Premiership and...
if there are no other candidates other than Manuel Pellegrini...
then I think I'd favour Pellegrini as long as he had Unsworth as his number two, in effect to enable DU to grow into the role under MP who would probably only want/get a three year deal at most.

That way, we get experience and a 'strong' name in the transfer market together with a 'true blue' successor in waiting.

I'd be gutted on losing out on Jose, as personally I think we need and should pursue as strongly as possible his trophy-laden, high profile, headline grabbing personality, but a duo of MP and DU could be an interesting alternative.

Promoting Rhino to assistant manager would also allow a ladder of progression for Kevin Sheedy to maybe move up from the U18s to the U21s and thus create an opportunity for the next level to move up too. Taking this right down the ladder could mean an opportunity for maybe Tony Hibbert to join the junior coaching staff as if it's right that Hibbo is interested, then this could create the chance for him.

There is a very good book called The Special One: The Dark Side of Jose Mourinho by Diego Torres, It is well worth reading and if half of it is true then we are better off staying well clear.

Mostly nonsense that book to be fair mate.

That's fair analysis.
