Mourinho was desperate for the United job in 2013 and was gutted when David£#%&!ingMoyes was announced.
At the time, I wanted Klopp or Mourinho, not Moyes and LvG wasn't even on the horizon. Keeping Gill isn't so much about rating him personally, as good management planning. We lost the CEO, long term manager and his backroom staff all in 1 go and replaced them with the treacherous @#%&! Woodward and the management team from Everton. FWIW, I've been told that Ferguson wanted Moyes as a straight 1-1 swap and the United backroom staff to remain in place. Moyes saw it differently and well, there you go. If we'd got Mourinho in 2013, his playing style would have jarred but he'd have had much less shit to sort out to get a decent side together and not given city a 3 year headstart at squad building. |

That 2013 squad needed rebuilding, but it would have been a squad Mourinho could have worked with. In many ways, it was his ideal type of squad - a load of players over the age of 30 who were highly experienced at the very top level, and a dressing room full of winning characters.
The biggest challenge that season was finding someone who had the mentality and confidence to take over from Ferguson, and Mourinho was literally the only man in the game who had the mindset to handle that challenge. David Moyes, ffs. Mourinho would have most likely steadied the ship, won a title, and then moved on. The club would have felt a lot more comfortable in the post-Fergie era, and could have put a proper long-term succession plan in place thereafter. No point crying over spilt milk now though. United should be looking to build a new, exciting, young side ready to take the challenge to City over the next few years, but I don't see much progress in that regard... |
