Slightly off topic. But if UTD do this then we surely have to be an option for Mourinho....

Nope, cos then he goes to Spurs.

I don't think they'd leave a secret meeting together at the same time. He'd be a good appointment for UTD mind, maybe they're putting the squeeze on Jose. Odd picture.

Nope which means it has been done with the full intention of it making all the next days papers, both of them will use it to their advantage, Pocchetino it strengthens his hand in regards to demands from spurs, Ferguson it shows the United Board that he is still someone who has massive influence/connections etc and meaybe cools them on Mourinho

 

[roydo]

Ferguson playing games with the board to kep LVG in a job, can see that now, Pocchetino to take over next season getting sold to the owners etc, Pocchetino gets one season to make a big impact in the league or CL with spurs and if he doesn't he then has the option of unlimited finances at United.

Looks that way. If he had wanted to keep an "innocent" natter with him private, he could have done.

Interesting.

Anyone who takes the job next will have a difficult time matching the fan's ambition of where we want to be in my opinion. Even Mourinho. It's a patience game, I'm not expecting things to get brighter straight away, the league is increasingly difficult. Mourinho would be great coming off the back of someone bringing a bit of stable consistency for a season or two. He's my dream candidate for sure, but can he do it at a club he's unfamiliar with and a squad that needs some work and development.

The fans will give the new man time we gave Bobby three years ffs.

Unless Spurs go after him!

For what it's worth

Jose : 9/10 - His flaws are well known, but he's successful, and I like that

Pellegrini - 7.5/10 - would have been an 8 but his record at City given his budget is only so so

Koeman - 7/10 - would be a solid, but fairly uninspiring appointment

De Boer - 6.5/10 - an unknown, could turn out great, could be awful

By comparison ....

Martinez now - 5/10
Martinez when appointed - 6.5/10
Martinez at end of season one - 8/10.

Jose 10
Cocu 8.5
FDB 8
Pellegrini 7
Koeman 3
Martinez 2

Jose to Spurs? Can't see it goat.

More likely than us IMO.

You're odd at times, someone mentions Koemen and you get your knickers in a twist, saying he's decent nothing more. We want better.

I mention this as a potential reason we could temp JM and you say that^.

Being a bit generous with that score aren't you

I say it how I see it Ian.

72 points, 2 semi finals, otherwise he would be in the minus.

They don't need him.

Jesus I don't know, city rivals and all, the fans wouldn't have him anyway, not that I know many spurs fans mind but It'd be like us having Rafael surely.

 

[AndyC]

And Dirk Kuyt looks like Pele in that league as well...

Hell fire, it must be desperate

 

[jceverton]

More likely than us IMO.

Definitely - better squad, champions league, London and moving into a new stadium.
