It would be a real turn up if Mourino decided on Man U rather than Chelsea as speculated.

Good!

Shows how local rivals appreciate how good he is - when they are delighted and breath a sigh of relief to see him go.

Yes we are glad as it will mean we no longer have to suffer the moaning git or the 10 minutes of Fergie time until they score. Or the incessant chewing ..... Or Manu winning anything in the near future.

Great day for football!

As a football fan and an admirer of Man. Utd. I believe Alex ferguson to be the greatest club Manager of all time, what he as achieved I doubt will be surpassed by anyone in the modern game.
I really do not understand grown men having hatred for a club or manager of another team.

Then you don't understand football rivalry! Simple.

Yes he's probably one of the greatest managers in the game. His trophies prove it. That doesn't mean rival fans have to like him or his team.

I support a team that is still hated and branded 'dirty' even though we have been out of the top league for a few too many years now. That's football. They still turn up to watch us though in hope that their team can put one over on us.

Now other supporters can look forward to the possible demise of a rival team. That's what football supporters do.

Apparently Graham Norton's accepted the job.

He says his first priority is to stiffen-up the back four.  ;)
