Not on the Mourinho bus myself but don't buy it being a disaster, just think he'd butt heads with the club and be gone after 18 months.

Shogun wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2025 1:28 pm Nah, that wouldn't give him enough time to build the story. He needs quick early success, getting everyone onside and then when it begins to slide then he can start being arsey with refs and accusing the league of corruption before being paid off as we're in the SF of the Carabao Cup

Not saying it'd happen and I'm 80% against getting him, but he does have the ability to potentially do something like that with us.

Fuck it, I'm voting for Dave.

I just don't know!
