    I don't believe he speaks any English. Maybe he is learning like Allegri or like Pep learned German before going to Bayern.
    Either way it wouldn't be smart for him to come in at this point I think. I would think a top manager like him, or Conte or whomever would want to wait until the end of the season so they can have the summer to bring in the players they want and then have pre-season to implement their style.
    Right now for United the goal is just to stabilize the ship and finish in one of the European spots on the table.
    Thats why I think it'll be a caretaker manager for the rest of the season after Mourinho is sacked.

    But who knows, it's all a crapfest right now at United. :(

    CR7 is in serious trouble because Spiegel aren't backing down and they've published even more details and it does not look good for CR7.
    At this rate no more US vacays for him and no Miami MLS team for him in the future. Gonna go finish his career in China or UAE instead.


    Really in-depth story and research by Der Spiegel in here

    Even Mourinho would be sacked in China if he can't park the bus right and get goals.

    I think 15-20 games without winning much would get him fired in the Chinese Super league - life is tough.

    Better job security in Quatar or Saudi Arabia or UAE.

    I'll say their sports investigations are still elite, Buschmann is doing a great job and especially Football Leaks is showing their abundance of inside sources.

    Politics are indeed a different game, hard to find any really decent German paper.

    Ronaldo is like Roman Polanski of football, except he is not a known pedo bear.

    I'd rather he took Steve Nash with him so that we don't have to hear is commentary for CL games on TNT.

    I think there is some benefit to him coming in now. Has some game action and Champions League action to see where he's at and then the January window to start building. I don't think they have a talent problem (except maybe on the back line). I think he (or anyone else) just needs to come in and put the players in positions to succeed instead of idiotic moves like starting McTominay in the back and leaving Fred on the bench.

    I never want to hope for more losses...but my fandom would be a lot more comfortable without Morinho and Bill O'Brien around.

    Here's an additional thread by one of the editors with some background.



    Indeed doesn't look good for him. Could be intereseting to see how fans react on him now, but since he got away with massive tax evasion, I'm afraid there will be no consequences. Football fans aren't better than that, unfortunately.

    The most annoying thing about both ....is that the two of them just got contract extensions this year!

    His fans will deny it to death and say she's lying or that evidence is fake, you know how these people think. These guys worship the likes of Ronaldo and Messi to death and have them as their social media avatars and title pics, their whole life revolves around it.

    Are you watching the news in the US right now? I'd be curious to see if there's an intersection of trumplicans and Ronaldo fans to see who defends what.

    Ofc, but opponent fans mostly left him alone the last couple of years, think he won a lot of respect with his latest appereances. That might change now, especially in Italy.
