GAGUS, I know the Ed's aren't all-knowing oracle's, but they seem pretty convinced he wasn't.

G.A.G.U.S, Ed002 has mentioned numerous times, Mourinho was never an option.

The only thing I've seen Ed002 say is that Mourinho was never an option.

In other words, we never considered him.

{Ed002's Note - Mourinho was never going to join Manchester United. Why is this so tough to understand?}

What makes it hard to understand is that we chose Moyes over Mourinho? also at the time we probably could of got Ancellotti/Blanc or even Klopp if we had pursued him, obviously Klopp would of been difficult but the other three were available.
Unfortunately we got Moyes and we have to hope he will come good, but I have major doubts that he will.
I know our squad isn't as strong as it should be but saying that we won 2 out of ast EPL titles and lost 3rd on goal difference with pretty much the same squad so why has he tried to change the whole outlook of the club. Look at most successful european clubs ie Barcelona, Bayern, Dortmund their style of play is always the same no matter who is charge hence why they are always challenging for honours. Moyes has got to put his stamp on the team but my personel opinion is he has gone around it in the wrong way, starting with backroom staff, then his buying policy/loaning policy and his consant changing of the starting 11 and his archiac style of football and tactics.
I was hping I would be massively wrong but I said when he was appointed that we would be out of all comps by easter due to his lack of tactical knowledge and failure to attract top players.
Sorry rant over.

Tucker,

You make it hard to understand by ignokng what ed002 is saying like so many others. Mourinho was never coming to united, he was going back to Chelsea, that's it done, now move on.

GAGUS, I think that reply was pretty definite :)

Ed02, So the claims from Diego Torres that:

Jose Mourinho 'cried' when he wasn’t considered for the Manchester United post earlier this year.

Are all fabrication?

{Ed002's Note - That was debunked and denied at the time.}
