    Aye, i'm really surprised how it all fell apart at Chelsea - so quickly aswell.

    He won't last long here - 2 years tops I reckon, then they'll be begging somecunt like Ancelotti to come in and take the reigns.

    I think 2 years of Mourinho then if Pochettino's stock is still high at Spurs he'll replace him

    After Fergie, Utd were always gonna enter the managerial merry go-round in their quest for success, i'm expecting Mourinho to spend a fortune and win * all.

    Be interesting to see how they do. Man U have been managed terrible really the last 6/7 years as Ferguson squandered a lot of money too and left a poor team.

    They've probably spent some of the most money on players and I think they have the highest wagebill in football(might even be in Sport) and you look at their squad and struggle to point out a quality player other than their keeper.

    If you compare them to Bayern, Bayern have about 15 quality players in their squad to Man Us basically 1 guy thats probably cost the same as Man U's and Bayerns players are on lesser money. Theyve been a disaster.

    If you merged Man U and Bayerns squads to pick a first XI and bench probably 1 guy from Man U De Gea, would make the bench and thats all.

    1st XI


    Neuer
    Lahm Boateng Hummels Alaba
    Thiago Vidal
    Robben Muller D.Costa
    Lewandowski

    2nd XI

    De Gea
    Rafinha Benatia Badstuber Bernat
    Alonso Martinez
    Coman Gotze Ribery
    Martial

    After them too the next best player would be Kimmich also from Bayern and possibly even Renato Sanches not sure about him but theyve paid about £30million for him.

    * that, he should take Milan back to the top after a European Cup or two with Bayern.

    I remember Liverpool wanting Ancelotti in fact most of the board members voted for him over Klopp after Brendan's sacking but the owner saw Klopp as the younger guy and better long term option

    Aye, he really does.

    Fergie earmarked him as a potential successor but by the time he approached him, he had already signed for Madrid.

    Bayern might be his last gig, how old is he? Must be in his 60's surely?

    That will be purely down to him though the squad is average as * lacks a striker and a good central midfielder

    Cant really argue with you as its all about opinion, but i dont think he will.

    For me, they need a clear out from top to bottom. They have a few good young players, and a few good squad stalwarts.....but i dont see a title winning team in there, new additions or not!

    I look at City, and for me they will still be closer over the next few years. Kompany, Aguerro and Toure (if they are still there) will be far better than any spine Man Utd will muster.....and with the money Man City have these days, Mourinho will do well just being the best team in the city.

    Mourinho will lead Man Utd back on track and celebrate some national success (only). However he won't be winning trophies in style. his football will be defensive and horrible to look at at times.

    by the way: Mourinho is the manager with the biggest warchest ever. Under his control his clubs have spent 1,08 Billions € on players.
