    Adrian Durham and The Mail is a match made in heaven. He'd write an article on how the sky is really green if it could get a reaction.

    "The last time Mourinho was asked to end the dominance of another club was when he took over at Real Madrid. He had no chance of doing it with football, so he poked a coach in the eye, called Barcelona cheats, and left Pep Guardiola so disillusioned with football he gave up.
    If Mourinho is happy doing that to Guardiola, he won’t shirk from trying similar tactics with Ferguson.
    The great man is right to go out with dignity, rather than being dragged down to Mourinho’s level."

    He may have a point. I doubt many 70+ year olds want to be dragged back into the Mourinho circus, particularly when they drummed the circus out of town last time it was around <ok>

    Really though?

    2 leagues titles, 3 domestic trophies and 2 C.L semi finals in 3 years would suggest otherwise. Jose's record against Fergie is brilliant.

    "...take over from United permanently as the dominant force in the Premier League and Europe...that is Mourinho&#8217;s challenge, should he choose to accept it" (Quote - Daily Mail)

    Love it.

    Although I'm firmly in the camp that doesn't want to get overexcited about JMs potential return - acknowledging that returns rarely work out - a part of me is definitely hoping he would have seen all the tribulations around Fergies retirement, and will hope to break his pattern of leaving clubs after a few years and establish a dynasty.

    Just as it was Fergies mission to depose Liverpool, I'm hoping Mourinho will make it his mission to depose Siralex. He's got his job cutout, but if anyone can do it, he can.

    Mourinho and Bayern Munich pretty much meant it was the end for Fergie on both fronts. Two things he could never conquer. Left at the right time.

    LF you've reeled in a few today <ok>

    JM owned Sir alex all day long. What is there head to head record?

    Saffa just could not get over the final frontier and get to grips with great European sides

    Great manager Saffa but always struggled versus the great European coaches. Coaches rule managers in Europe

    Great man?? flat track bully and so insecure that it didn't have the dangly bits to put his alleged management skills abroad with a team that didn't have vast wealths. Do us all a favour and **** off back to where you control the fairies Oberon. <ok>

    Hospitable as ever. You don't have to like him but you can't just write him off as a 'flat track bully' after the career he's had without coming across as very bitter. Plenty of managers have achieved far less with far greater resources. What about his success before United? I doubt St Mirren or Aberdeen were too flush with cash.

    Showing your geographical prowess eh Mr.Pikey. Since when has St Mirren or Aberdeen been abroad? And Aberdeen was Billy McNeils team which was already built and when bacon face left McNeil still had the better win rate. So **** off back to the championship and learn some footballing history ya nonce. <ok>
