Mour to follow?

[Robonoodle]

I can see the plan forming from the mists. Mourinho's third year in charge of a club seems to end in chaos and acrimony, though after delivering a title or two, then he glides on to his next challenge. The clues are in Stevie's autobiography.

"He was linked with a move to Anfield a couple of times but it never materialised. I know I'm biased, but I think it would have been a perfect match. The Liverpool fans would have loved him and he would have known exactly how to turn that love into adoration. He always told me about his deep respect for our supporters. Jose would have had a fantastic time bringing huge success to Liverpool."

It's all a bit like following the Da Vinci Code. Mourinho never wanted the Man U job at all, it was smoke and mirrors, he has had his eyes set firmly on his real goal: the second (or third, or fourth...) coming at Anfield, the adoring Kop singing his name (without the rude bits), bringing the title back to Liverpool and having a proper statue outside.

He's on his way. He isn't a very naughty boy, he really is the Messiah.

I fucking hope not.

He's been quoted as having said that he'll never manage us and I reckon that's because his long-term goal - after we rejected him in favour of Rafa anyway - is the Manc job. He was said to be spitting tacks when they gave it to Moyes and I can see him going there if things don't settle down under mad Louie.

You mean he wants to the Special One after the One after the Chosen One? I can dig that.

I think this will be his last year at Chelsea, but we'll never see him manage us.

It would have been an unheard of statement 8 weeks ago. How quickly things change in Football.

At least our defence would get sorted out.

But still, I don't think I could stomach liking him. Give me Klopp any day over the snide, classless twat.

 

[Judge Jules]

I wouldn't sign him up either, because his habitual three-year itch seems to have got worse than ever and I want somebody to stick around (successfully) for longer than that. Him being a tw@t wouldn't stop me though TBH. I'm fed up to the gills of waiting for us to get back on track to the top.

 

[Mystic]

He'd never manage us, and I never want the cunt near the club.

If, as it seems, the gangster is buying players he doesn't want, while selling one he wanted to keep, then the writing is perhaps already on the wall.
