Old Man Andrews Mourinho is a great manager and good for the English game. I think he will be a roaring success.


You misspelt was OMA...

Think we will only know for sure when we see what he does at Spurs, there is no reason that squad shouldn't be doing well. United are clearly a basketcase and he wasn't backed properly. We have seen how Ole has struggled to get a tune out of them so I don't think it was just a Mourinho issue at United, it was the club as a whole.


You're right that only time will tell, but I disagree that he wasn't backed at United. He didn't get Maguire when he wanted him no, but he did spend over £350m plus got Zlatan and Sanchez on effectively free transfers (the latter being a swap deal so I'm counting as a free).

He threw his toys out of the pram when he didn't get Maguire, which is ridiculous behaviour when you'd just finished 2nd and brought in two centre backs the season before. It was just bringing forward the traditional Mourinho fall out followed by exit which has followed him everywhere since he left Porto.

Not a surprise, tbh. Poch has been walking around with a dark cloud above him since the start of the season.

Jose has one job and that’s get ‘em up that table this season. They are three points behind Sheff Utd, who are fifth. Simples.

I posted this on the Man Utd thread 2 years ago. I think it neatly sums up my thoughts.

From Despair To Where? It's not even the fact he's a lying, cheating, obnoxious propagator of anti football who publicly demeans his own players for his own gratification that really gets my goat, it's the way he strolls about thinking he's bigger than the club, only to disappear off after 30 months, tail between his legs because everyone has finally got sick of his utter pcuntery that really bugs me.


What he is very good at is building an expensively assembled squad of superstars and getting them to play like Sam Alardyce's Bolton.

The sooner he fcuks off to the Algarve with a sex doll made in his own image, the better football will be.

Great-Johnson on the front pages and Mourinho on the back pages again.

A bit of a surprise as Poch has been the pundits' and media darling for some time and he seemed unsackable.
Will be interesting to see how much money the club spends in January as , ever since his time in Portugal, he has been the biggest spend, spend, spend manager in world football.

rare agreed


This from supposed Reading fans is frankly a disgrace.

The man’s a lying cnut who will doing anything to get a competitive advantage or to justify his actions. Just ask Berkshire ambulance service.

I think the previous two may have had at least a soupçon of sarcasm

100% this
Spurs and this twat deserve each other. Matic will probably get recruited and drop into spurs midfield. LOLZ

I would suggest that Poch will go to Manure now.

That doesn't mean he isn't a good manager though. At no point did I say he wasn't a massive bellend.

Royal Rother This is going to be an almighty disaster.

I like Spurs. Feel sorry for them.

At best they'll win a minor trophy next season and then by the one after they'll be worse off and less competitive than now.

I like Spurs generally, hope they do well more often than not but I’m not a fan of Mr Mourinho despite his successful record as a manager so now not sure what I want for them....
