for sure, Mourniho is not the best fit for Man U, but he is the best available in the market now - I cannot imagine with Man C, Liverpool, Tottenham having exciting managers, Man U not having a 'big gun', Mourniho is the only one available. Simonone is not leaving until Champions League, and probably not interested to come. Even if he will be there for 3 years, but he manage to deliver a title or Champions League win during this reign, it will be satisfying. Look at Wenger, he has been in Ars for so long, how many trophies has he won?
Besides him, i cannot name another long serving manager in the BPL. Already, people has written of Leicester chance of retaining the title next year, which probably means, unless Leicester retain a Champions League place, Ranieri will probably lose his job come next year. I think Man U should start planning for life after Mourniho, such has soccer changed that unless you continue to deliver or be seen as pushing hard to win every season, chances of manager staying long (more than 3 years) is low.
There has been sayings of Pochettino, on grounds of the dynamic Tottenham team that he has built up. However, will it be the same if Tottenham suddenly flounder the next season beause the chairman decides to sell and dismantle the team? If we look at Brandon Rogers, he did splendidly well during the first / second season with Liverpool and everyone was heaping praise, and he was sacked and the supposedly exciting Jurgen Klopp was brought in. And he has done well so far, next season? it remains to be seen.
Comparing Pochettino and Mourniho, one has potential, the other is proven. So what if Mourniho is aggressive and is toxic to the BPL? SAF wasn't always on his best behavior either, as long as he transform us into winners, the swashbuckling Man U of before, I simply don't care. I pay Singtel to watch Man U to win, not to behave like a gentleman and not winning. For all the talk of Pochettino, he hasn't won any trophies. Even when Man U hired LVG, everyone sang praise about him and how he will bring trophies to Man U, but it turned out not to be the case.
Actually i was impressed with LVG, his strategy and shrewdness brought that famous victory against Spain. His 3-5-2 was impressive and he won all during the pre-season. I don't why he decided to give up, like they say, the 5-3 defeat by Leicester was the turning point and it went downwards ever since. He went into his shell and played posession football and runnng down the clock. I believe also, the injury to Luke Shaw screwed him totally at beginning of the season. However, as a world class coach, there should be no excuse not to recover.
anyway, thats history. Next season should be impressive and heart stopping for us. If Ibrahimovic indeed sign, it will be good news, we would have powerful striker -think Drogba and Costa - with Marshal and a new winger, we will see glimpse of the fast attacking football. I just hope Rooney's speed don't bog us down.
Sorry again, Mata and Herrara seems to be curtains down. They are good but not suitable for the way we want the game played.
