A complete failure at Man Utd but still won more than Klopp.

He's also been managing longer and has spent a hell of a lot more.

Doesnt change the fact the bin dippers have won absolutely zero under him, but go on like he's the messiah.

Since Jose took over at Utd until today, Mourinho won 2 trophies and Klopp 0.

The statement says they'll be appointing someone within 48 hours until the end of the season who has connections to man utd but not currently at the club.

Laurent blanc is my guess

Why don't they just bring back Fergie for half a season.
I'm sure he'd love to rip into Pogba and co.

He's absolutely done now. Can see maybe PSG if anyone at the top coming in for him further down the line, but who would care. He's toxic. Used to be such a good manager and I rated him, but his histrionics are boring and repetitive

See that tool Pogba but something silly up on social media and Gary Neville quite rightly replied 'do one'. He's just another example of the pussy celebrity footballers the modern game cultivates. Great player and top talent but has no respect, is more interested in videoing himself doing silly dances with Lingaard than he is sorting how out shit a season United are having

Utter joke. These youngsters need to learn a bit of humility and respect. If I were a Utd fan I wouldn't want him anywhere near the team

Of course he's not. If you're looking for a quick fix for 1-2 years he's absolutely ideal. It was only 18 months ago that he won 2 (albeit lesser) trophies.

18 years in management and he's won 25 trophies. Plenty of clubs will still be interested.

If the likes of Pulis, Moyes, Hughes, Pardew etc can go from job to job then i'm sure someone who's actually successful can do the same.

Which clubs would want him that he would consider his level

Real Madrid
Barcelona
Juventus
Inter Milan
Roma
Napoli
Bayern Munich
Dortmund
PSG
Chelsea
Arsenal
Liverpool
Man City

I'm just listing top CL clubs which is where I presume he'll want to go? Heard rumours of Portugal national team, but I can't see any top European Club indulging him

Maybe Porto again?

One thing the book does cover is Poch's admiration for Sir Alex Ferguson, the legacy he created at Old Trafford and how he would like to repeat the same thing at Spurs with Levy.

(That was before Levy didn't back him in the last transfer window mind you! Sigh.)

The thing is, do you think he has the financial resource/support that he needs to make such level of achievements at Spurs?

As for the book, I was really impressed by how he went to Southampton as a 'nobody' (in English football) and won the players over in a very short period of time. (IIRC, Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana etc. were full of respect for him.) And he believes in the importance of developing young players. This point alone is why I like him ten times more than managers such as Mourinho.

I remember when I first saw him in post-match interviews on MOTD he had a translator with him. My mum and I would laugh at that saying 'what kind of manager needs a translator?!' And only three or four years later now he's one of the best managers in the world. I never liked watching Spurs but since he went there, they/you have become the Premier League team that I enjoy watching most (well besides Man City). Like I said before, I hope he stays at Spurs and at least wins some trophies before leaving.
