what a bloody disgrace this person is. if what is reported is true no he shoud be immediately sacked from his current position as inter coach and be left on the sidelines until saf retires and then be told his not wanted by united. this man thinks hes above everybody. what sort of person would announce his interest for another club. anyway he is not a united coach. his style of coaching relies on keeping a clean sheet and using the best strikers in the world to score the winners. often teams that he coaches give up alot of the play and soak pressure. this suited chelsea as they were hunting for their 1st glory but not after. in italy winning is the only thing that matters and therefore any playing style will be tolerated as long as yhe team is winning. inter will keep on winning regardless of the coach because of their squad. i’m an inter fan i hope they sack him straight away and charge hin with disloyalty instead of paying him the highest salary in football management.

imho: I would like MOYES to become the next manager, this guy drives a hard bargian in both selling and buying players, he has great vision and does not deter from that vision. He sets his goals and he damn well trys to achieve them with what little rescource he is given. At OT he would have an established youth system to which he could improve. A half decent war chest every transfer window. Granted the team may need to carry him for the first season whilst he gets on his feet so fergie best start whipping this team into full blooded champions of the world in time for the day he finally take his final bow as our legendary Manger!
Cantona: Great player no mangaing experience
MON: poor mans MOYES
Mourinho: Shiney talisman that would not stand the test of time. Like to win at all cost which would include the youth system and also a lot of money.
Blanc: errmm not to sure what to say. don’t rate him that highly (yet)
rikjaard: ??? nope not for me, just don’t figure him a premiership manager.

Peace out

there is only one man u should replace fergie and that in my opinion is martin oneill. he has done really well wherever he has been, his man management is good and he is loyal and ambitous

A lot of this debate is people do not want Mourinho rather than who will replace Fergie that is a different argument.
Mourinho took over Chelsea when they finished second in the league and had limitless money to spend, and Porto when he took over also finished second, also he took over Inter when they were champions, wow isn’t he great!
Also CQ is a turn coat who has walked out on us twice, I never ever want him back because he would do it again.

Mourinho is odds on favourite with betfair punters at 4.8. Next candidate is a mile out at 9.0 – David Moyes.

@Onkar: Martin O'Neill, David Moyes, Pep Guardiola, Frank Rijkaard. Then theres the wild card of Cantona. Apart from cantona, these players have all enjoyed success at the highest level. O'Neill, and Moyes have has limited funds to spend as well, so have had to buy the right players that would fit into the team, and develop youth as well. Young, Agbonlahor, gosling, rodwell, have all had enough chances at a young age whilst their respective team still keeps its flow.

@Dan: Don’t just throw comment which oppose the name Mourinho but also give a name of the manager which will substantiate your point. I mean i don’t know what you took out as a implied meaning of things.. My point is simple I care a damn about all these things as long as our club is alive to the full health. If we don’t win it will be dead soon and we may end up like Leeds did. So, no time for experimenting with Managers Post or else no club…no youth system…
If you can’t agree then Give me the name of One manager which will fit the bill….

@Onkar: Mate, those players developed into world class players by playing in the first team, it didnt happen over night. Fucking xavi played against us in the treble winning season, he was hardly world class then, look at him now! If you look at your previous post, you are basically implying that less youth development is better if we get big name players, and now in this post your saying that our youth system doesnt work. Wouldnt common sense suggest, we should try and make it work rather then bring in mourinho who wouldnt even play youth players in the carling cup? Bringing in mourinho would halt our youth progress even further!

@Dan: I never said that we should stop developing talent did I? All i am saying that I don’t find any substance in these things of youth and all… OK fine.. I agree that Barca is the best team in world today but then can this be only thing that should be the criterion for the next manager.. I mean the fact is They have so called academy players in abundance but still they are spending mad money for big match bottler IbrahimoBitch.. And that says a lot as well…
Secondly, when you are giving Barca’s Example try and see what we have… We can’t stand anywhere close to Barca in terms of player development in last 5-7 yrs and that’s also a Fergi era as well.
And after the class of 94 just tell me any player who has been world beater.. I mean there are potential star but still no final product… So academy is not good enough… Can’t compare this example and that why can’t really provide any substance to your point…

@Onkar: Mate, best team in the world are barca, the key players from barca are xavi, iniesta and messi. All brought up from their youth. Thats a reason why we should develop youth and save money, rather then paying £30mil for 30 year olds!
