Older and wiser. Why would he not improve?

Hypothetically

If he went to Man City

Which would be the better appointment

Moyes or Mourinho?

Mourinho in a European sense....also in dealing with top players. Moyes is a canny manager who has yet to prove it given the best resources.

Whether he gets them is another thing....SAF had them punching above their weight in the Premiership this season imho....in Europe they were found out yet again.

Mourinho I hope.

Who do Chelsea go for if Mourinho pays Abramovich back and turns blue? Most of the available talent (Ancelotti) have already "done Chelsea"

Stick with Benitez? Abram could demonstrate that he's not as juvenile as we all believe if he did that.

nobody walks away from real madrid until they're good and ready to get rid of you. one of mourinho's biggest problems in spain is that he's tried to make himself bigger than the club, which he patently isn't - and the madrid hierarchy and media don't like all that nonsense. you don't treat club legend iker casillas like mourinho has and get to waltz off into the sunset under your own steam really.

can't say i'm looking forward to him being back in the premier league because he's a horrible, classless individual. but expect most of next season's easy headlines will be about him and that other gobshite di canio.

To be fair though Stevie, when all the current crop of players seem to struggle to put two words together and have the personalities of a kilo of clams where else are the journos going to look! Football as pure sport died when the amateur game died, before even my time.

i'm not particularly interested in footballers' personalities though mate, nor their managers' to be honest. some managers can come across as charming and pretty honest, others as megalomaniacs, bullies and tyrants. mourinho's only ever about himself, not his team, not the club, not the fans. always him. and that just really sticks in my craw much more than any other manager trotting out the time-honoured 'we did it for the fans, the players gave their all' clichés.

Perhaps I'm inured to it all after a career mixing it with tiresome Alpha males and egotistical ba$tard$ .

Have to say though that Mourinho is the only football manager who could make you laugh out loud at some of his comments - I guess I hoped he was secretly doing a bit of self-pastiche a lot of the time.

It's called entertainment,much rather have a Fergie or a Mourinho than a dull...nice but dim Rodgers nobody likes a yes man.

you're likening ferguson and mourinho? really? one who is all about his team and his players and winning for his club's fans and the other who is a self-promoting, self-publicising narcissist? interesting perspective from a united fan. albeit not a particularly bright one.

Now now Stevie lets not get into personal slights I never said i was clever.

fair enough. you don't really see many parallels between ferguson and mourinho though do you? think they're chalk and cheese myself.

fair enough. you don't really see many parallels between ferguson and mourinho though do you? think they're chalk and cheese myself.

I agree. Ferguson built; Maureen spends, scores and leaves....

Mourinho is funny like a cripple. Nothing would please me more than Abram leaving him at the altar. He could take his personality cult circus down the road.

Plus, given City's Barca connection, the chances of Mourinho at City are zero.

fair enough. you don't really see many parallels between ferguson and mourinho though do you? think they're chalk and cheese myself.

The only thing i can think of is passion and character they both have it in shed loads.

Oh and they both are successful and win trophies!!

this is mourinho's 'passion and character'. man's a shithouse.

Seems "character" is defined differently by different people Red. Is Mourinho a character ? Most definitely. Does he have any ? Hmmmm...

And yes, many similarities between Mourinho and Ferguson. To wit-poor losers ! Though even Mourinho outdoes SAF in that category.

So Stevie by the same token you would agree that Suarez is a shit house too yes?

So Stevie by the same token you would agree that Suarez is a shit house too yes?

nah he's just an idiot. don't think he does it maliciously and he certainly doesn't do it for reasons of self-publicity like the self-obsessed special one does.

nicely brought around to liverpool though by the way. you want to sing something about throwing scousers on a bonfire while you're at it?

That's not an 'eye gouge' Stevie....

Thas never played League lad...

You know my hatred of Liverpool well.

Suarez is a proper idiot i agree but the point is... he has that passion inside him that turns him into an animal on the pitch and his tremendous talent and passion for the game wouldn't be the same no matter what therapy you could give him to change those instincts....you only have to look at Cantona.

They pressure at the top of any profession changes peoples behavior in the heat of the moment,that will never change we are not robots.

Suarez is probably the nicest man in the world away from football,i know Ferguson is......Mourinho well the jury is out on him

That's not an 'eye gouge' Stevie....

haha. i didn't name the youtube clip mate.

fair enough. you don't really see many parallels between ferguson and mourinho though do you? think they're chalk and cheese myself.

i don't think Mr Red 'likened' the two - and I doubt any sound-minded person would see many parallels. I THINK Mr Red was alluding to the entertainment value of the two parties - it has often been said that there are fewer characters around. Whilst I am no fan of many of the Chosen One's traits I do not doubt that the Premiership will be more colourful as a result of his return.

Just picking up on "Gob-<deleted> di Canio". You gratuitously inserted this slur but I must have missed any previous reference to your distain for the Italian. Can you clarify ?

spot on mate^
