    United fans don't think he's the second coming. They loved the bloke before he became the manager. He's a proper club legend. He could **** the job up and the fans will still love him.

    I can’t really hate on Ole. Respected him as a player and hasn’t really done/ said anything that’d make me think he’s a prick of a bloke. Although he did spoil every non-Utd fan’s party, was funny as **** seeing them so **** under the dickhead one.

    The weird thing about Jose was this was supposed to be the job he coveted more than any other for so long, the minute he arrived he looked and sounded so miserable. I would've been buzzing. Then you look at the enthusiasm you'd expect to see, in Ole.

    What, do a Kenny Dalglish, you mean? Looks unlikely just now, but you never know. I’d say he has more of the Glenn Hoddle about him; I assume Spurs fans still love Glenda; great player, mediocre manager, bit of an arse.

    If Mourinho got the job coaching in heaven, he’d be implying they were lucky to have him, and telling the media Jesus and St Peter had a lot to prove.

    Yeah definitely. He got one of the biggest cheers when we paraded club legends after the final game at WHL. Wish I were alive in his day to have seen him play. He probably could’ve got us relegated as manager and still been adored.

    He just got too obsessed with his own hype. Thought he was a god amongst men. Never liked him anyway but the last 3-4 years he became an even bigger ****.

    There's a guy who lived in such an enclosed bubble, he really lost track of what life is about. Definitely some sort of mental issue, which at some point in the long and distant future, when he's got a life outside of football, he will look back on and realise he handled all wrong.

    He probably would have done if you'd kept him on as manager in 2003.

    His mental issue is his ego. He's allowed it to grow to so big (and to be fair, the media have helped) that he literally could not see that he was becoming out dated and ineffective. He has always been an arrogant and petulant ****, but at least when he was winning he did it with a smile. Now he just looks like a bitter and twisted has been.

    Listening to footy pundits, the problem with Hoddle was his own amazing talents as a player - he just expected everyone he managed to play like him, then became frustrated and tore into them when they couldn't. Quite funny tbh.

    Didn't he try and teach Beckham how to take corners and got pissed off when Beckham couldn't do it?

    That was the rumour anyway...

    It happens in all walks of life. I've seen senior leaders just shut down, very much like Jose used to in press conferences. I've been in a meeting where a senior leader (who had become so paranoid over several months that she couldn't see reason with anyone from the outside scrutinising) she just withdrew completely, became flippant. It was uncomfortable and I ended up having to lead the dialogue whilst she just sat there looking like a bulldog chewing on a wasp.

    Can just imagine him trying to coach Darren Anderton. 'Right Daz, when you get the ball on the flank don't try and find a man inside, just dribble it past all the defenders and lob the keeper ffs!'

    Takes me back to my old NHS days. So many ineffective senior managers who had been in the jobs too long and were completely out of touch.
