Jose in talks with United Can't see him fitting there personally

I can Man Utd and Mourinho working.. for 2 seasons

Could easily work, and can't be worse than LVG, but he just doesn't seem like a Utd manager to me

Just a cnt

mina fan? who would you be after?

I'll have a look

Tbh none of your younger players interest me and your skint

fair enough

Teixeira will be back in Europe before the end of next transfer window

In Mourinho United would get the best manager available to the PL imo so right move there. He seemed like he was pretty committed to the long run at Chelsea and United much more likely to give him that chance. Reckon he'll have learnt from whatever went wrong this season too

At worst he will give them 3 years win the league, rebuild their team, give them a winning mentality. I think the issues at Chelsea ran deeper than just certain players falling out with him, our board didn't back him transfer wise in the summer to rebuild certain areas of our squad and now it's obvious that they really needed to.

Mata will be out of the PL by summer though which is a shame

Delayed game:

Stoke City 2-1 Bournemouth
Oscar(Lamela) 54, Gabriel(Dembele) 87; Mandzukic(Bellarabi) 32
MOTM: Moussa Dembele

Tactics in for 5

Hadn't thought about poor Mata

Personally would say Pellegrini is a better option though.

For me Mourinho's record speaks for itself, of current managers only Wenger has more PL titles and his last one was 10 years ago.

Pellegrini seems all nice and everything but I see very little motivation in his City side which is especially highlighted when Kompany is injured and they should be destroying this league, they've got by far the best squad and as it is they've won it once, got trounced last year by Mourinho and this season could end up losing it to either Leciester or Spurs. Don't think he's good enough imo, might be better with a younger squad like Spurs

Personally, if united do give him the job and they back him in the summer transfer window which they will, it's a guarantee he will rebuild them into a strong team that now how to win games no matter how bad they are playing(something that was key for them under SAF) and it's pretty much a guarantee he will win some form of trophy, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that trophy being the PL come May 2017. No matter how long he stays, he'll have done the two things that were a constant in SAFs time which is having a squad with a winning mentality and winning trophies, things Moyes and LVG have failed miserably with

Plus there's no danger of him wasting time giving average to awful players like Lingard and Powell games ahead of quality players like Depay! He'll actually give Depay a chance to get used to things.

Meanwhile we can regress and sign Mata

Man Utd certainly need someone, think Jose would be a great fit for them

Abel Hernandez a bit of a gamble but I like him

Pellegrini has to be given a huge amount of respect for how well he has handled the knowledge that he's being replaced.

If the reports are true, he's known for months and he still has his side right up there in the title race. If I was a Man Utd fan he'd be my first pick.

Some of his signings have been utter pash though

Knowing he's being replaced shouldn't have much of an effect imo, if anything should mean he's out to prove a point.

Didn't Hynckes also know he was getting replaced by Guardiola? He won the treble!

Yilmaz away to China as well

Heynckes was later in the season than this - and he was already considering retirement. He only changed his mind on that not long effort the end of the season and by then it was too late.

How high in the table will Stoke have to be to claim Pereyra?

Comfortably in the EL spaces

Still don't see how it should effect him negatively, shouldn't be a football manager if he can't be arsèed to win trophies for himself, he's getting paid millions and being given even more to spend ensuring he can win the titles to put his place in history. Regardless of how late the call came for Hynckes or when he decided he was going to retire he still put maximum effort into leaving himself a name

What is more difficult you think

Chelsea or City to Man Utd?

Where are the EL places?

Also, do red card tactics count in the 1000 word bulk or are they separate
