Shroppie Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 Serious question. Who would you prefer to have at Saints? Yes, Jose obviously has a great historical record but usually with virtually unlimited resources and I just wonder if, after the Chelsea debacle, his ego has got too big for him and he's lost the plot. Ronald has performed wonders at Saints with finite resources, developing players and rebuilding each year. I think I've answered my own question.

Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Mourinho for attracting/keeping players would be a massive step up - also he hardly had unlimited resources with Porto and did a passable job!

But Porto was a while back now and when he was working to make a name for himself. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 Wouldn't want him here. Tiresome and any other cnt behaved like him with his conspiracy theories/pathetic smokescreen rants would be toast but media love to fawn over him as good copy. Plus leaves poisonous environments when he leaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 Koeman; I just like him a lot more and I don't honestly think JM could do a better job than Ron, with the resources we have. Plus JM has a history of everything turning sour after 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shance Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 ****ing hell. Mourinho would attract a different class of player and lets be honest, he's a world class manager. Yes he's an idiot but ffs, he's won trophies everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris27687 Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 Hard to compare they are completely different jobs. Mourinho's skill is dealing with the media and getting the best out of superstars - Ronald is excellent at making superstars. If say we needed a manager to keep us in the premier league if we were 19th at Christmas - Pulis or Big Sam would be best for that job. There is no better manager for saints at this point in time that Koeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 I suppose if you want success at any price Jose is your man. Personally I prefer Ron and can live with the lack of success if it means the club have some integrity. Lets face it, if United don't win anything they cant console themselves with another year of improvement. Ron could leave now without winning a thing and still be a winner in our hearts (well most of us). Jose has to win at least the Premiership but will be expected to win the CL and if he doesn't he is a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallagroth Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 I think the magic that mourinho's self created PR and branding achieved has worn off in this country. I think his ego is now so big that he can't effectively manage superstars, he thinks he is the biggest star after all. He has a reliance on turning to older recognised name strikers that are a gamble. He sets up for 1-0 tidy games or 'boring footie' according to some and the thing man Utd fans were complaining about from Van Gaal. On top of that he blames everyone and everything else when results don't go his way, creating even more drama and pressure around poor results. I give Man Utd 6-8 months of new manager syndrome before the changing room starts to revolt, and Mourinho returns to crazy paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shance Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 Utd scored a shockingly low 49 goals last season. The least a mourinho 'park the bus' team has scored in a season is 70. He'll do well at utd imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll do well at utd imho. I can foresee a clash between the collective ego of the club and the ego of the manager, especially if things aren't going well.

His 7 min ourburst when we whooped Chelski's backside was absolutely pathetic and bordering on disturbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints1976 Posted 28 May, 2016 Share Posted 28 May, 2016 Of course it's Mourinho, he's a bit of a hate figure but I think you view him differently at our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
