Now usually I completely disregard the daily star as any source of credibility.

However.... Right now, am looking for my tingly feelings to come back. so am down with this

I was warming to the idea of Jose, but then I saw this crushing headline on that link:

And now, I'm not so sure.
 
Personally I think we need someone that is better at press conferences and post match interviews. I'm sick of listening to his generic, eternally positive, straight from a management manual bullshit. The novelty has firmly worn off. I even wonder if he is some form of extra terrestrial masquerading as a football manager. I can just see a little man in his head driving him, perpetually hitting the soft tissue injury button.

Simple remedy.
Don't watch or listen to them (y)

Moshiri and Mourinho's agent are close friends, they socialise in Monaco together.

Mourinho has a lot more win here if he took over than Man U, and word is Man U aren't that keen anyway.

Is Mourinho going to go to Man U and beat Pep at City, beat Conte at Chelski, he'd be under immense pressure to win titles.
 
I think with Dunc, this is his first real coaching job. He was brought in by Martinez due to his Everton connections.

I think Jones & Lawrence are part of the package that Martinez brings.

Plus he brought the goalkeeper coach with him from Wigan (Bergera) and the 'Head of Performance' guy Richard Evans who is the one who runs on the pitch for injured players, and I think he also brought his own chief scout* in too, so any or all of them could probably go with RM.

*Edit: Just looked it up. Kevin Reeves is the chief scout and followed Martinez from Swansea to Wigan so looks like they're a package.
 

The club spin machine got one thing right, things will never be the same from here on in, we are on the up, Moshiri wants what we want and will put his money in to achieve it.
He wants it all.


He strikes me as a man who generally gets what he wants and is not afraid of the hard graft it takes to attain it.



The future's bright.
The future's blue and white
 
Davies and Connolly gave us two strong reasons today as to why we should be wary of Mourinho

Their development will be in jeopardy

Is it worth destroying an entire generation of young players for a trophy or two?

I would be exceedingly wary of letting Jose loose on our youth set up

I think the cup wins, Derby wins and general bossness would make me feel better.
