Today's Telegraph are reporting that Blackburn have made an approach for Warren Joyce, interesting news. It would be interesting to see if given the chance he'd go. He's done well though with our U21's and hasn't done to badly in his previous management role with Hull.
Not sure who would step into his shoes should he leave. Butt would have been the obvious choice, but since he's now in charge of the whole academy it may be a bit much doing both jobs.

That seems to be the suggestion from some of the articles that the press are running with this morning.
Boot camp would be the best course of action for some of these precious fellas. I'm liking the rumours of Zlatan being assistant manager/player that seem to be also doing the rounds this morning. ![]() |

Something positive about José coming in, is that he is a form Europa League/UEFA Cup winning manager, so hopefully he can lead us to glory in that competition, if a top four spot is not possible, as it will be the hardest season possibly ever to get one of those top four places.

Please no, that is the last thing we want. I'm not convinced he'll do anything in the Premier League at this point in his career. I'd rather Giggs stuck around, but that seems highly doubtful right now.

I hope he doesn't go, he's done a very good job with the under 21s and the players seem to have a lot of respect for him.
Of course this would represent a very good progression in his own personal career, but I would still prefer him to stay with us in his current role, but that is just me being a tad bit selfish. |

He would be a huge miss if he were to depart, as he is a vital cog between the youth levels, and the first team.

I do think to lose him now would be slight issue, after all the other departures over the past 12 months, but I'm sure we'd find someone to step into his role. |

If might actually do Giggs some good to go manage away from Old Trafford if he wants to step up. At least that will give him some experience without the huge amounts of pressure he'd be under. Then have a go at the United job after Jose if the club feel he's proven himself.

How embarrassing. LVG was told he was losing his job on Sat, by his wife! The Glazer family are crap.
Football is losing it's glory. It's all business now. |

I said something similar on the day these rumours came out on Cup final day, it is a very crass way of doing things.

It seems like it wasnt man united that leaked it to the Spanish press though.

Can't see it being Ed so there's at least a player involved there. |

The suggestion is that part of the reasoning behind Mendes leaking that on Saturday was to ensure that there was enough ill feeling for there to be no way that Van Gaal would consider taking the Director of Football role that was being talked about last week.

Isn't football a strange profession to be in?
You win a trophy & you get sacked! It's just goes to show how money has warped football, where finishing in the top 4 trumps winning cups! I now know why Arsene Wenger must be seen as a god like figure by the suits at Arsenal. OK, he's won a couple of FA Cups recently, but they were incidental: what he guarantees you is a top 4 finish & that's all that counts. Mourinho is going to be interesting, as he virtually gurantees you silverware & top 4 finishes, but he doesn't develop youth, plays conservative football & walks away after 2 - 3 years. We're going to have a blast! |

We're going to have a blast! His Real Madrid team broke the La Liga goalscoring record. His first Chelsea team were top scorers in the league and his Inter Milan team were top scorers in the league. Most managers are lucky to spend 3 years at the same club these days. |

Zlatan on a free transfer under Mourinho is a no brainer. The young forwards and the team as a whole can learn a lot from him. |

This is Zlatan we are talking about, the man with the biggest ego in professional football who year in year out delivers. His ego alone will only ensure he wont be a flop. People will mention Falcao but he has never recovered from a serious injury and Di Maria who simply took his personal thoughts on the pitch.

What I I find ironic is ever since Van Gaal arrived United fans and the media have critized the pragmatic boring football. Now they have Mourinho who is known as providing pragmatic boring football.

If you want a big ego, who delievers year in and year out, let's go bring back Ronaldo, who at least will give us 3 or 4 more years playing wise, who knows the league and the whole team can learn from him to. I'm sorry, he's played in leagues which are vastly different to the English leagues, and whilst his past is great, he's got to adapt to this one and I'm not sure he would do.
