Cheered me up anyways. Given our points and how impossible it was gonna be for us to win the title I'm glad the other manc cunts are lording it over them / him.
 
I don't know a single Utd fan who wants him to stay.

They play the worst football of the top 6 with some great attacking players.
 
Yeah. I remember decrying Houlliers early Liverpool as anti football for a quite a while, but as the chant went, even he did occasionally let the dogs out.

Mourinho is the absolute epitomy of anti football. I don't think he even likes the game, I think he just sees it as a career, & in another parallel dimension he's a sleazy con artist or hedge fund manager.

He is seemingly obsessed with gathering the best players he can, then utilising them all to just stop the opposition from playing, & relying on their talent to make the difference in terms of percentages.

On the occasions where this tactic doesn't work he becomes so incredibly beligerant that even his own fans hate it, & even when it does work, there's little satisfaction to be gained unless there's a greater goal achieved by it.
 
Surprised at Utd fans negativity. He won the PL with Chelsea with 87 points and he is on track to deliver 85-88 points in his second season at Utd. It is just that City have gone to a different level this season.

He has been exactly what everyone expected - spends a lot of money - check, moody and grumpy - check, defensively resilient - check, turgid but efficient football - check, wins cups - check.
 
He's got a team to be the ONLY league challengers to Citeh come January. What do they want?

They're used to winning the league more regularly than we are (unfortunate but true), & expect more.

They're also watching a side who are not playing footy dissimilar to that of Everton under Moyes having spent an incredible amount of cash on some of the best players in the world.

If I were in their shoes I'd be pissed off as well. Not just cos I was wearing shite trainees either.
 
The one thing he doesn't guarantee is longevity, I guess that's why fans don't warm to him (that and him being a complete bellend).

Maureen has been linked PSG in the summer, and pretty much every Manure fan is like, sound, fuck off.

The handful of United fans I knows hate him. Most would love Klopp. Heard a woman on the radio who is a 35 year season ticket holder at Old Toilet saying she dreads going to the game. She said she'd prefer to follow Utd in the lower leagues than watch the dross that Maureen serves up. I think it is all the more galling to them when the quality of football in the blue side of Manchester is so good.

Mourinho is a manager who fans find it hard to like.

That is easier to overlook when he's winning things. When he's not winning, not only is it harder to overlook, but he becomes even more of an absolute cunt, effectively, he starts eating his own tail.

Spot on. Mancs at my workplace 'accept' him as they know they will win stuff but they don't particularly like him. But as soon as they draw or lose they are quick to call him a cunt lol.
 
He's obviously obsessed with winning the league and champions league, which is a good attitude, but he's run into two oil rich teams in his league for the first time, and utd can't compete with them financially although they are extremely wealthy themselves. There's no FFP anymore, and their owners aren't going to bankroll a 400mill summer every year like City's are happy to do. He'd be better off going to France, easily winning the league, and having another good go at the champions league and have unlimited finances.
Where utd would go if he left is another matter. Not sure who would be a good fit for them or not tied up at another big club.

I don't think it's just that. I think United have had enough money to compete, I just don't think they have always bought well recently.

I mean, Lukaku is a great goalscorer, but for a manager who already let him go once and who notoriously prefers a work-hard, dogged forward, it was a pretty baffling buy.

He'll score the scrappy goals against the shit teams, which will no doubt go someway towards success, but he doesn't push them to the next level, like a Sanchez, Aguero or even a Salah would.
 
Please allow me to add to the list of forumites whose Manc friends and acquaintances mostly want to see the back of Mourinho. It's surprised me TBH (if nothing else he's stopped the rot that had set in under Moyes and then Mad Louie) and I wonder whether as many of them would have the same attitude if he'd got them to the top of the league but, the way they go on about it, I'm pretty sure some of them would.
 
I think it makes sense. He won't want to stick around and be second best to Pep and Utd want someone more progressive.
 
It may just be the onward march of time, but I used to get the sense that Chelsea fans (and other assorted bellends) found his"twinkle-in-the-eye-I-cant-believe-he's-saying-this-ooooh-isnt-he-controversial-how-entertaining" approach exhilarating.

Doesnt he now just come across as a deeply unhappy, jaundiced and paranoid fuckwit? (and therefore perfect for ManU!!)
 
To be fair to him, he did used to be quite attacking

Duff, robben, drogba and lampard was a great front 4 and they scored goals for fun, whilst keeping solid at the back.

His spell at Madrid seems to have turned him more defensive and more shithouse

Good.

Nah it was during chelsea he started. I remember when he had duff and robben on the flanks they were just ridiculously good and destroying teams. Next season he started using a diamond midfield instead and he ditched duff. Things just went downhill from there. Went to Inter and played the most negative football ever but won the treble and carried on that path.

He was defensive at Chelsea too. They just had a really potent counter-attacking threat.
