I agree. I was talking about once the dressing room went toxic he was powerless despite being a top manager.

Mourinho was class for united for two seasons. That side is and was trash
Oh yeah, completely agree mate, once that tail spin starts it's over imo.
But but we got to a CL final.
The fact he won the EL with that side and finished second shows how good he is mate imo.
Think he could win the league with our side (or at least come closer than Poch has) I genuinely do, or at the very least a trophy and have us in the top four.

Despite Pochettino rather than thanks to him.
Now you are going too far. No manager will get this team finishing ahead of Liverpool & city. & if they did, you just know Leicester will peak again & win the title.
Also be careful saying that as you are saying we should be challenging for the title with mourinho or else what? Way too harsh to expect titles or even challenging for it.
Three trophies. One second place finish. Not bad at all. With a squad that was inferior to ours
That was 2010 and they went on to lose to Chelsea.
they won the cup in 08 and didn't play us
I think the horse is dead.
Have you got any other points to make?

I was being hyperbolic but my point was that he would get us closer than Poch, I wouldn't expect it given the quality of City and Pool but I definitely think he would, at the bare minimum, win us a trophy.
It’s been a while since Soton beat Yanited in the FA cup final but thoroughly enjoyable as I recall
A combination of Levy and Poch.
Poch realised he couldn't keep turning water into wine. When he turned to Levy for support. Remember ( being brave: we cannot continue to challenge for the big trophies while spending small money, we need to move to the next level)
Unfortunately, Levy never shared the same ambition for the football team as Poch at that pivotal moment and gave him fuck all.
As a result we have a demotivated manager and a demotivated squad. Many of whom now see their best chance of silverware elsewhere.
If the chairman gives the impression he aint interested, it rubs off on his manager.
Which in turn trickles down to the players.
The shit starts at the top.
Your'e not putting our demise squarely on Poch's shoulders, surely!
No I was just interested in how you explained our current plight. Cheers

Exactly mate, I voted a few months back that I wouldn't have him here but honestly my view were tainted by my loyalty to Pochettino and my loyalty to the style of play I like to see at our club.
I couldn't give a toss anymore, the only style of play I want to see here is winning, by any means nessecary.
Well we were 15th in the 90’s so what’s your fucking point here you pessimistic entitled cunt, god some people will just never be happyIt's official, we're 14th
Joking of course!!
Anyone know a good stone mason? Us West stand boys are thinking of having a statue made of our most successful manager to date, we are just wondering should we do the black suit or the slim fit training top
If that were true, Kovac would still be in a job. Pep did three years in the job. Hitzfeld around six years around the turn of the century. But everyone else lasts a year or two.A donkey would win the bundesliga. The same with Juventus in italy and Paris in France, well emery did it but
And in the last decade, they’ve won the CL once, been to the final two more and the semis four times further. So they aren’t just successful domestically against other strong German sides.
All successful teams change their managers regularly.
The more I have thought about the more I think he has to go but he has to go with a big thank you for seeing us through a period of low spending and massive upheaval with with no less than 4 CL qualifications, a CL final and a genuine league challenge.
The reason is that this squad is not suited anymore to Poch. He works with young, mailable players who work their arses off, we have a mature squad of experienced players unsuited to the pressing game. To fix this we’d need to buy half a new team and Levy ain’t going to do that. This is a squad suited not to Poch or even Klopp or Pep (we don’t even have runnings DM’s or full backs) but to Benetiz or Mourinho.
When we came 2nd in the league that was the point we need big investment but didn’t get it. Poch should be replaced but Levy needs to sack himself from the football side, we need a director of football who can sort out transfers without making an arse of himself, clear out deadwood and manage the scouting which is quite frankly not good enough. Our managers need better support.
Poch should go with a big thank you, Levy needs to hire a good director of football or he himself should go, again with a big thank you. We have a world class stadium and regular CL football, we should be thankful but the football side of things needs renewal and the structure is not workable to what we need.
