Gee. managing football clubs really ages people.

If we're all to be honest, it was never really going to happen - let's bring in a young manager who can build something for the next 5 years.

Too many reports from completely different sources and credible sources now for Mourinho to United not to be true

No they wouldn't.

Martinez was a manager who failed at the basics for some philosophy thst just didn't work. Results show that, both here and Wigan. Considering he went from championship to relegation to us in the space of 3 years shows you he got a lucky run of appointments ala Rodgers has also.

As much as Pellegrini or De Boer or anyone else is an unknown entity until one of them takes over and has at least 3 years, I can guarantee you any of them would perform better than Martinez ever did.

We shall see although we probably won't.

Reading that it seems Mourinho has been guaranteed a kings ransom in transfer funds. Gonna be tough to crack that top 4 next season as there'll be several clubs looking strong.

Hopefully we'll be one of them..

I was always holding onto the hope of mourinho but I think this might be it now.

Time to move on. Still plenty of good managers out there.

Emery, deBoer, Koeman, Cocu, Bielsa etc.

So what are you suggesting? We just don't hire anybody because Mourinho has done the obvious thing and joined one of the biggest clubs in the world?

Think you're massively misreading his demeanour and body language to be honest.

my mum once told me I was not so good at picking up nuances in people's disposition. She bought me a book 'In Favour of the Sensitive Man' by Anais Nin.

...I didn't finish it.

To be fair, I never started it either lol
