It has to be Jose.

Perfect man for the job and he clearly wants it.

Maybe Mourinho will have changed a bit by then, Fergie could be just as bad at times in his younger days. I remember something about when Aberdeen won the Scottish Cup, they had won the game by a few goals and when Fergie was interviewed on TV after the game he ripped into the team saying it was one of the most disgraceful performances he'd ever seen, the players couldn't believe what they were hearing
love that interview "the team didn't win that match, willie miller won that match on his own".

incredible to be honest. the result was nothing to him, it was all about the performance for the shirt, a sign of an astonishingly driven man with cast-iron principles about the team ethic. he's £#%&!ing amazing is fergie

Mourinho is a poor choice seeing as he can't stop in the same job for more than 5 minutes too much of a gamble.

You could say this with some justification about almost anyone in sport tho, surely?

TBF, he has taken a step up each time.

It looked like he was going to stick the nut on the number 2 there.

Despite him saying he regretted saying it and he should have let it go because it caused huge issues with the team.
It was a big mistake in my opinion and he learned not slate his team in public after that.

absolutely. sorry if i wasn't clear, i don't think it was smart, i think it gave an insight into what makes the man so special.


grimson - there's being a £#%&!er and there's being a £#%&!er, if you get my meaning.

I admire the 'I'd rather lose 4-3 playing well than win 1-0 playing shit turgid stuff' but what it comes down to is you have to win playing shit sometimes. It's the sign of a good team.
I don't think winning playing shit should be a philosophy and I think that's what Ferguson recognised after that game.

Ferguson just got mixed up and tried to talk himself out of it imo, just making it worse

think he was basically already thinking about the next season, giving his own players a challenge and winding up their main opposition by mocking his own team's lousy performance that was still too good for them

could be wrong


moooooooo

Ranieri tried it on, Jose slapped him down.

He said nothing special about Ronaldo, despite what the English press tried to insinuate.

With the press, I'm not sure they were always fair to him in Italy. I don't particularly sympathise with the journalists, anyway.

Didn't he say Ronaldo was uneducated and lacking intelligence?

I also remember he had a right go about Fergie because Fergie had words with Graham Poll at half-time during a Carling Cup tie at Stamford Bridge. Graham Poll said he was saying all-sorts .

No doubt about it though, he is a winner. But also an ego-maniac who puts his alter-ego ahead of the club he managing.

i agree. it's just press hype.

whenever i listen to mourinho in tv interviews he's pretty much always entertaining and informative.

ferguson suggests experience will be a vital 'characteristic' of any manager in contention to takeover. but tbf that's not necessarily the case. his own experience should tell him that it takes an exceptional manager to succeed at Old Trafford, and that therefore it's that rather than experience that will be the key ingredient. and tbf, he put no age restriction on experience anyway.

No, it was a poor translation job.

Education - Educação is a good example of what are known in linguistics as false friends - words that are very similar in two languages but have different meanings. Educação in Portuguese essentially means "manners". It's nothing at all to do with school/academic education. Essentially, all Mourinho did was suggest that Ronaldo was being a bit rude, but the English press managed to turn it into some kind of insult about Ronaldo's background.
