He wanted Martial and Rashford to play out wide and think more about stopping the opposing fullbacks getting forward than creating or scoring themselves.I think Mourinho is a terrible idea, I don't think he will / can cope with terrible attitudes.
Even if you think they are worse than Pogba (I don't), he still had a rubbish attitude and Mourinho could do squat about it. He did bully Shaw, if he comes in maybe he will do the same with KWP because he doesn't take on the big players.
Spent 70m and kept on banging on about not being allowed any money.... Etc.He wanted Martial and Rashford to play out wide and think more about stopping the opposing fullbacks getting forward than creating or scoring themselves.
Kept telling everyone his squad was mostly shit and he couldn’t play attacking football as his CDMs and CBs weren’t good enough.
No thanks.

Not sure who it was, but after he left United someone said he needs to go away and re-invent himself then take on a new challenge.He was a circus act in his last years as a coach. That undoubtedly affected the way his players performed and his game planning. I don't think he can rediscover his former self, and even so, I'd still prefer a different coach.
Wonder what the odds are for Mourinho going to the Woolwich ?
That would seem the preferred option, I'm sure the fans would love to have him back and it would be great having Roy Keane doing the Sky Post Match analysis20/1 at the moment. Funnily enough, their old boy Vieira is 7/2. I wonder how that would go down with their fans...

So the consensus is people would rather keep pochettino running us into the ground than Mourinho?
Mourinho: sacked twice by Chelsea, sacked by United, forced out of Madrid is who you people are opening your legs for? Seek God
You people have watched the squad decline for months yet you think our performances will improve under Jose who’s notoriously toxic, falls out with his players and the board at every club he’s been at over the last decade.
In addition to the football being dreadful, this is a coach who’s happy to throw his players under the boss. Do you think that is an environment conducive to good performances for players?
You people watched Jose spend 400m, not achieve his objectives, play negative football, fall out with players, insult fans argue the board hasn’t backed him, try and sell his teams top talent & replace with over the hill players, spend 92m on matic & Fred & YOU still want him ?
To the people saying they don't want Mourinho, fair enough.
But name me another manager who is a proven winner (i.e has won league and CL titles) that we could realistically get when Poch inevitably falls on his sword at some point this season?
The only one I can think of is Benitez
Allegri and Mou are both waiting for the phone to ring. It's essentially a race between us, Woolwich and United. Who is going to be brave enough to sack their manager and call Allegri first and who is going to regret waiting and having to settle for Mou?
