Jodera:
So now, Fabrizio Romano is no longer a reliable and reputable source because of Mourinho??

The same Romano that lied to you people that Sancho was a done deal last season?

Romano is a fraud!

chidexxy007:
For all those hype and pay, Mourinho is Stealing a living presently.
He should just retire

Why should he retire? At what age?

Ancelotti has been sacked 11 times. He’s got more CL titles than SAF, Pep, Mourinho.

Only morons focus on the number of times a manager gets sacked. Intelligent people focus on their impact.

Mourinho is box office. He will get another juicy contract very soon.

Hero

Who would sack their manager 6 days before a cup final because of results?? A competition he’s never lost in the final.

Jose has won Carling Cup 4 times with 100% record in the final.

2005
2007
2015
2017

If there’s any manager that can beat Pep in a final, it’s Jose. Copa del Rey in Spain is a stark reminder of that.

He was sacked because of the ESL issue. Where did Levy suddenly find the £35m severance package to pay Jose?

Mourinho got sacked because he spoke against the European Super League?

What a hero!!!

Fergie has spoken against it.
Neville has spoken against it.

Will the Norwegian fraud speak against it or keep mum to keep his job?

Time will tell.

UEFA will have to compromise in this case, either share more money to the clubs or bend to their offer. Issuing threats can only take them so far.

The clubs involved in this literally hold sway over world football as far as elite football is concerned. The sponsors, tv rights etc. will all migrate without blinking an eye.

The 12 big clubs together are more powerful than UEFA/PL/FIFA.

UEFA is making it look like a moral issue when they are also there for the cash. Their brands will take a nosedive if the Super League becomes a reality.

DSTV, BEINSports, etc would stop bidding for PL games and rush to get the ESL. Who will watch Norwich vs West Brom when Barca vs Juventus is on TV?

Messi
Ronaldo
Hazard
Griezmann
Bruno
KDB
Kane
Salah
Mane
Pep
Mourinho
Simeone
Tuchel
Zidane
Etc

All these big names in the same league and people think UEFA/FIFA/FA have any leverage?

All these big football organizations are about to die.

GloryIsaac:
There’s already too much money in the Premier League, so such pay gap in the top 4 will make it even more ridiculous.

Unless they have to cut down on the prize money shared to other positions on the table so as to make the top 4 positions and especially the 1st more attractive.

Doing so will cause unrest from the smaller clubs who don’t have the revenue power to compete with the big clubs.

From another perspective, the Super League might just be the Glazers best excuse not to stress over player purchases as much, knowing fully well that the club’s position in the league will never be under threat.

Remove £50m each off the bottom 10’s TV/Prize money.

Give it to the winner of the PL. Make winning the league worth £500 more than finishing 2nd.

Every club would be spending at least £400m every summer to win the prize money. As it is, there’s no motivation to finish 1st as the difference between the champions and 4th placed club is less than £15m.

If I am Woodward, why would I need to spend £200m on players when the reward is less than £15m in prize money?

GloryIsaac:
Update - Champions League and Europa League matches are temporarily suspended.

SuperLeague official statement:

Chairman: Florentino Perez (Real Madrid)
Vice-chairman: Andrea Agnelli (Juventus)
Vice-chairman: Joel Glazer (Man United)

Also: Andrea Agnelli is set to resign as president of ECA.

This is a good development.

The whole “Top 4” concept is well and truly over. Rewarding failure by the FA is one of the reasons United are stagnant.

Even if this Super League thing never takes off, this announcement will shake up things in the PL. The sharing of the prize money in the PL has to be addressed.

If the FA can make winning the league worth £500m more than finishing 2nd, I’m sure you will see a proper title race and proper investment from each club every season.

BARAJ92:

Same team reach Final of Europe, A year before and after spending 250m euros, where is the team. So the 14th was their final position of the season abi, Tottenham finished in top 4 and reach Final the previous season, yet your greatest coach can't improve on such a team.

The team that reached final lost 2-7 to Bayern a season later under Poch. Imagine conceding 7 goals at home without a sending off. That same team was left in tatters in the 14th position - facing relegation.

Mourinho came in, polished the team up and got them as far up as 6th. Levy has refused to spend big because of new stadium, COVID and the announcement of the new European Super League.

Blaming Mourinho for Poch’s mess is quite rich.

Have some shame.

BARAJ92:
This is a fresh team with just few of Mourinho signings.
Why has Mourinho not taken Tottenham to higher height after all Pochettino took them to the final of the champions league after which the club has spend over 250 million euros with Mourinho accounting for over 145 million euros.

Mourinho met them at 14th, he finished 6th. That’s a jump of 8 steps.

It should embarrass you that in 17/18, United had 71 points after 32 PL games.

Ole has 66 points(after £300m spent).

How’s this progress?

BARAJ92:
How many matches has Baily and Matic started for Ole. Lukaku, Sanchez and the old brigades who assisted Mourinho in achieving his 81 points have all left the club.

Few of Mourinho signings?

The same ones that include Lindelof, Pogba, Fred, Bailly & Matic + £300m + 3 years = 3 points improvement(no trophies).

Have some shame.

BARAJ92:
How much did your Greatest manager of all time spend that he was shouting up and down that he was not being back. Ole has spend far less than what he spend in three year.

Did Mourinho take the players he bought to Spurs?

Are Pogba, Lindelof, Matic, Bailly, etc still not playing for United?

If Ole is still making use of Mourinho’s purchased players plus his own spendings, why is he struggling to match Mourinho’s trophy haul or points haul?

Make it make sense, abeg.

NewDelhi:
So basically United has won and satisfied the hearts of even more United fans by beating Burnley to further "cement a top 4 finish".

Una get ambition at all? Naso arsenal take start o.

Their standards are on the floor.

It’s the proverbial prodigal son that left his father’s house to start dining with a swine.

United fans went from winning 3 league titles in a row to celebrating 66 points with 6 games left plus zero titles to boot.

The Norwegian fraud has so much lowered the standard that beating Burnley has become winning a CL final. The previous manager got 81 points with a shittier defence.

The current manager spent £150m on that defence plus Bruno and he is still struggling to match 81 points. If he wins all the remaining games(an impossible feat), he gets only 84 points.

Almost 3 years later and £300m spent on the squad that got 81 points and the only difference is 3 points minus trophies.

If this is progress, Buhari is a lesbian.

Expert17:
Naaa, I can't blame Degea for such.

Even if you don’t, others would.

Cavani - the gunman!

DeadPresidents:
I’m not sure there is much Rashford can learn from Mason tbh.

Gunman Mason is a freak. Manchester City legend, Phillip Foden described him with the nickname “laser robot “

Foden said Greenwood is better than Aguero.

Rashford should learn from Greenwood.

Expert17:
Some fans blaming Henderson for that goal ---try harder

Just look at 80M Maguire falling like 65years old woman boobs

The header was inside the 6-yard box.

De Gea was blamed for goals like this throughout his career. I was told here Henderson comes for everything but he’s yet to keep a clean sheet since his promotion.

Maguire misses another free header.

My God.

Midfield has completely collapsed without Fred.

weedtaker:
Lol, Maguire is going to the Euros, Torkwoski isn’t.

Maguire - the English fridge.

I can name 100 centre halves better than Maguire in Africa.

As soon as Fred disappears, we concede.

How many goals has Henderson conceded now?

I was ‘schooled’ here that he comes out to gather corners and crosses and De Gea is useless.

What a goal.

Fernandes should get an assist for that goal.

Oasis007:
The twelve clubs who have agreed to join the European Super League: Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea,Tottenham, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus.

- RMC

PL, UEFA, La Liga, Serie A are all in the mud with this one.

If the big clubs break away, all these brands would die a slow and painful death.

I can’t wait for this to happen.

What have I missed?

chrisley024:
This Tom and Fred combo is too limited, no creativity
Tom looks clueless when he gets the ball

Agreed!

Their combo is limited going forward but as soon as you take them off, United would concede goals.

BARAJ92:
Bottom line, he was sacked basically because it seems he has lost his winning mojo and almost impossible for him to ensure Tottenham finish in top 4 hence his sack and appointment of Mourinho to stable the ship. Mourinho would be sack this season, if he doesn't qualify for Europe.

What winning mojo?

He won nothing at Spurs in almost 6 years.

BARAJ92:
That means, you agree that trophy does not show progress as Klopp fail to win any trophy in his first three season but was able to ensure Liverpool finish in the top 4. Case close.

There was progress.

Ole is almost 3 years in and he cannot get past semifinals in each season.

Can you say that is progress?

I marvel at all the idiots speculating I am Coogar.

You have grown men(mostly fathers), gossiping without facts that someone they have never met or know from Adam is a certain Coogar.

As soon as these dorks notice a poster that challenges their sensibilities, he has to be Coogar. During my first hiatus in January, I took time to read the old pages on this thread and I saw how several people were accused as Coogar.

If Olesexuals can’t handle the heat, they might as well stay out of the kitchen. I don’t know any Coogar or have any association with anyone known as such. I am illimitable(the dude without limits) and I have brought pure evil on the peace of Olesexuals and fencists altogether.

All of una must borrow sense by force.

BARAJ92:
Why was he not sack during those six seasons, this is to emphasize my point that trophy does not really show progress. Winning the league, Champions League those are what I consider as success rather than winning trophy that relegated Wigan and Portsmouth won.

He wasn’t sacked because he showed promises but in the end, it was obvious he had lost it.

Losing 7-2 to Bayern at Wembley?

BARAJ92:
So getting to the final has turn to a trophy. Clap for yourself.

It’s progress.

Klopp joined Liverpool in November 2015 and he got to a final in the same season. I remember his Liverpool team beating Man Utd over 2 legs on his way to the final.

In his first full season, he finished 4th.
In his 2nd full season, he was a finalist in CL.

In less than 3 years, Klopp went from playing Europa final to playing in CL final.

In less than 3 years, Ole cannot even spirit himself into any final. Even if it’s Principal Cup, he’s not capable.

handelex:
Lmaoooo
I already know you're an imbecilic by product of the union between a donkey and a Sloth. Nature abhors your type cos you're an abomination.

Dolt.

See more oxytocin gushing out of your lady parts.

handelex:
Let me reiterate again you blithering idiot, if you can't show where Poch finished a season on 14th place at Spurs like you claim then your existence to humanity is waste. Till you do that oaf, you're not going anywhere.

Handelex disgraces his lineage for the 3rd time in 24 hours.

Who wants to save Handelex from this self-flagellation?

BARAJ92:
Did he win a trophy that is the question.

He got to a final - he had already achieved more than Ole in 6 months than Ole has done in 3 years.
