But masterclass was sacked, cry me a river. grin
Masterclass has 25 trophies.

At 48, Masterclass had won 2 CL titles and 6 league titles. Your god of failure is yet to navigate a semifinal berth at age 48.

If you read the biesla statement well sef, he wasn't really praising the team, like saying they are one of the best in the league or have amazing talents, he just said they play simple football, it is a kind of jibe-praise hybrid.
The simple football that has lost 5 semifinals. The 6th is soon to follow.

Has not lost a Carling Cup final against Liverpool (5th in the league), Arsenal Under 21s, Tottenham and Southampton. Lost an FA Cup final to Conte most recent of all. I don't need reasons as to why he was fired, the Tottenham execs gave the only one that matters. That Tottenham could have beat City in the final is still binding even with Ryan Mason at the helms. Mourinho might have a better resumé but that is about where it stops. If you were wondering, Tottenham were definitely catching a gigantic L in that final with Mourinho. The Slavia Prague, United and Everton games were predictive of where the team was with him and the answer is DISTRUSTED. That is, majority of his players did not trust him anymore.
The “5th in the league” Liverpool won the Champions league that same season by beating Mourinho’s Chelsea in the semifinal.

You people often forget that many managers rest players for the priority competition at the expense of the league position. Benitez concentrated his effort on the CL and played fringe players in the league. His final league position proved to be irrelevant as Liverpool qualified automatically for the next CL by the virtue of winning it.

Mourinho used the same strategy in 16/17 when he gave up on the league games and concentrated fully on Europa games. He took a very weak 11 to Tottenham and Arsenal to preserve the big players for Europa. He won it and United finished 6th.

This argument is dead on arrival, If Pep was not a great coach why was Pep, Ferguson first choice.
Mourinho and Pep are the two highest spender on players for the past 10 years.
Because Mourinho was tied in a contract with Real Madrid. Pep had just ran away from La Liga after Mourinho psychologically destroyed him with 100 points and 121 league goals.

In the two seasons Pep & Mourinho were together in La Liga, Mourinho’s team outscored Pep’s. The second season was the last straw for Pep and he gave up competing - which was why he was the #1 option as he had no job in the horizon.

That was the gist from the inner circles - you won’t find it on the mainstream media considering the debacle that followed Moyes’ signing.

SAF has cleaned up his ass that Pep never got back to him - but the truth is they spoke continuously for 8 months when Pep ran to New York for his sabbatical.

I am not sure you were a fan of Kante while in Leicester. Someone like you would have dismissed him as a headless chicken running all around the field.
I was a fan of Kante in 2014/15 for his durability and the fact that he made the most ball recoveries in all the top 5 leagues in Europe.

elampiro:
SAF wanted Guadiola and even went to see him in the US in 2012, but he told SAF he had already had somewhere he was going (Bayern Munich)
That’s not true.
Pep turned down SAF’s offer because SAF couldn’t guarantee the Glazers can fund Pep’s multi-million pound projects.

Signing Pep isn’t cheap - he wants the best players in every position and for all the talks before his arrival that he’s best developer of youth in Europe, he’s only promoted Foden in his 5 seasons at City.

Sir Alex Ferguson : “Scott McTominay is now emerging as one of Manchester United's big players. When you watch Manchester United pick a team for a big game, McTominay is in it. Good character, great trainer, I know a little bit about the boy.”

Sir Alex Ferguson: “I signed him [McTominay] when he was seven or eight. He was actually a centre-forward as a kid. He has sprouted, a little bit like Darren [Fletcher] when he first came.”

Sir Alex Ferguson: “McTominay is a similar type as Darren [Fletcher], long, lanky, good winner of the ball, good turn of pace going forward, great attitude to the game.”

Sir Alex Ferguson: “All the attributes that Darren [Fletcher] had, McTominay has got them. We seldom left Darren out for big games, particularly against Arsenal, he had no problems dealing with Patrick Vieira, and McTominay is following those guidelines.”

Sir Alex Ferguson: “It’s really rewarding for me to see a Scott [McTominay] coming through.”
Scottish Nepotism.

This was exactly how he gave us Moyes and we saw how that panned out. SAF can’t be taken seriously. It’s a disgrace that other clubs can boast of Kroos, Modric, Verratti, Gundogan, Pjanic, Kimmich, Kante, etc and the equivalent in arguably Europe’s richest club is McTominay.

What team would have beaten him in the years described? You know the severance package is amortized right? He does not get the money in one tranche. He will be paid for the next few years. Sacking him before the Carabao cup was the acceptance by Levy that it would have not mattered if he won it and that they did not believe he could win it.
Which team would have beaten him in the years described? The Liverpool team he beat in 2005 Carling Cup final went on to disgrace AC Milan in the CL-final & they won it.

The same team ousted Mourinho’s team in the semis with the ghost goal at Anfield. The ball never crossed the line but Luis Garcia wheeled away in celebration and conned the referee.

In 2017, Mourinho beat Pep’s City on his way to win the competition. A lot of people forget about this detail because they only focus on which teams he faced in the final.

Sacking him before the cup final can be explained in many ways. One of them would be the severance package would be more had Mourinho won a cup for Spurs - so Levy quickly truncated the process and sacrificed the cup for millions of pounds sterling.

It would be stupid of Levy to think Mourinho couldn’t have won it considering he’s never lost a Carling cup final in England. He’s got 100% win percentage in that particular competition.

There’s also a hidden trivia that Mourinho is the only manager on the planet that has ever beaten Pep Guardiola in a final. These two pointers are stacked behind Mourinho and I am sure Levy knew this. Levy was expecting ESL money and he was happy to sack Mourinho thinking JP Morgan Chase would wire some stacks to him.

In the end, he lost the best manager on the planet, he lost whatever amount he paid Mourinho for sacking him and the ESL money is not coming. Levy must pay £8m to Florentino Perez for breaching the contract he signed when he joined ESL.

Levy’s loss.

Accepted he won two trophies yet he took the squad backward.

LVG won the FA cup, yet he was sacked. Being in the champions league or top 4 is far superior to any FA cup or Carling cup. Winning the league or champions league is superior to the Europa League. The management of Man Utd prioritiy are UEFA champions league, League Title, Top 4 or Europa League title not worthless titles.
Pep already said winning a trophy is the most important factor in clubs - not your opinion.

You cannot keep making excuses for Ole or moving the goalposts because he cannot attain the minimum requirement.

The fact that Mourinho got into a final before Ole in a club that he met at 14th should tell you the PE teacher personifies failure.

Ole Gollum is cursed.


Kane has been the best managed player and the most professional under Mou.. Dude handled his new role in the absence of an attacking midfielder brilliantly.

He is a goal poacher but being top scorer and leading assists at the same time comes down to clever management..
Of course, he’s cursed and it seems that the curse has been passed to people like Alabi and his minions.

People who celebrate failure are most likely to be failure as well. grin

Oga Nihi, it also shows there is no chance mourinho got been sacked for football reasons just before a cup final.

They have a better chance in the final with Mourinho then with Ryan Mason. The lack of suitable replacement clearly shows this was an overnight decision to sack him.
Mourinho’s sacking isn’t about results. Of course, trust British journalists who never liked him to make it seem it’s about results.

All these fans that want us to stick with Ole will give the 'long term project' excuses. Why didn't y'all say this during LVG and Mou era? Oh!They aren't United legends or fan favourites.

Ole bottled 3SFs & a 9point advantage in the UCL...how is he gonna achieve great things at Utd?
Ole has bottled 5 SFs in less than 3 years.

SAF lost only 4 in his 26 years at Man Utd.

Harry Kane is already missing Mourinho. Jose turned him completely into a modern forward. He’s no longer a poacher that waits for the ball in the 6 yard box to score. Kane is now creating as many as he’s scoring.

With ole on the wheels, mou will win trophy before United and probably Spurs.

I think it's enough for him to ruining his career by joining shitty teams like Spurs, now he has to think about going to teams like Bayern or back to Real Madrid..

Come back stronger mourinho the special one.
I don’t know why he likes difficult jobs.

His ambition was never going to match Spurs’ ambition - a club without a league title in 60 years, without any trophy in 14 years.

Why is the best manager in the world joining such a shitty outfit? Spurs have spent the least money in the top 6 in the last 5 years or so.

Every club has it priority which most time is based on financial gains, Ole main priority was to immediately ensure Man Utd make top 4 consistently why building the team to be competitive to challenge for the league and champions League same as what was given to Klopp, Klopp did not win any minor trophy to pad his achievement.

Ole was brought him for the long term success not like some fraud that was expecting Man Utd to buy expired players for quick success neglecting the long term success.
Ole was brought in to kill time until the plan to join the ESL will be announced.

Pep confessed weeks ago that there’s no long term project in any big club - those are excuses invented by Olesexuals to shield the Norwegian Fraud.

Don’t mind those fools.

Fabrizio Romano that was declared a fraud on social media throughout last summer has suddenly become the gospel - the only one reporting that Jose was sacked because of performance.

This is Fabrizio reporting that Stevanovic was a done deal to Old Trafford last summer - only for the kid to end up at Man City. Fabrizio just plagiarizes other agents tweets and caption it with “Here we go”.
