This will be an exceptional signing.
My United mates are definitely of the opinion thereâs a power struggle going on between Mourinho and Woodward, with the latter trying to stamp his authority on the club by keeping spending pared back this window. Might be going a bit far down the formations hole like, but it does seem as if the powers that be have come down firmly on Fax Machine Eddieâs side, which means youâd give it four months tops before Mourinho goes.
Anyone been to serie a games before?
Going to Naples when the AC game is, am I ridiculous for thinking I might be able to get tickets?
Iâve just ordered pizza at 1:15am, itâs going to be terrible right?
Not sure why this in the football thread but erm. FOOTBALL!
only been to one at the san siro so might be different for napoli (although I donât think it is, judging by their average attendance) but I was able to get tickets at the box office on the day of the game
Woodward was talking to the press after Joseâs press conference and said all that stuff off the record
Good job he didnât say it on the record or everyone wouldâve heard about it.
Somoeone might have written an article about it
They write the article but donât attribute the quotes to Woodward.
This is what the papers are reporting on today
Power struggle between Mourinho and Marilyn Monroe at Old Trafford, according to reports
0 days into the season and I find my new-found air of optimism is being tested
Yep
So, United fansâŚwho would you like as new manager?
Rafa?
how much compensation will they need to pay Wales?
For obvious reasons, Rafa isnât really an option for a Chelseaesque stop gap
Was hoping everyone could keep up the facade that we werenât gonna bin off Mourinho at the end of the season anyway, but it seems to be slipping fast
I understand the reasons
but Rafa is the only manager with pedigree for whom the Woodward transfer policy would be an actual improvement on current conditions
but yeah, Mou is gone by Christmas for sure unless thereâs a January war chest (unlikely)
Like Woodwardâs saying, weâll happily spend big, on established world class players and marketable stars. We wonât invest it Mourinho players because we donât think heâll hang around and are already preparing for life without him
ÂŁ12m to pay off mourinho. Fuck knows why people think poch is the answer but the powers that be at Utd like him
