A āsuperiorā cunt off to manage a club full of "superior " cunts - match made in heaven
Itās begun
The BBC have nothing else but Mourinho on it.
And soon weāre going to have a #ZlatanLoveIn, time to become a technophobe methinks.
I wonder what bad news the government is going to sneak out today!!
Iām kinda pleased heās gone Utd.
Jose, Pep & Klopp in the same league should be entertaining I reckon. Plus, El Mancico will be wicked. Those two hate each other.

Heās a glutton for punishment or an early pay-off. I wonder how much heās taken them for in recent years.
Perhaps they should just change the name of the club to Narcissists United and be done with it!
Jaap Stam being mooted as his replacement!!
Remember once on the train back from watching Soton v Wednesday at the Dell, there were a load of Wednesday fans singing āJaap Stam is a Wednesday fan, Jaap Stam is a Wednesday fanā, in a world of bizarre chants I think that one won.

The Madman at Leeds United has done it again chairman Massimo Cellino has sacked Steve Evans after only 7 months in the position.
If I was a manager I would steer clear of that job. I know that they were sniffing around Darrell Clarke of Bristol Rovers. I hope he stays there after 2 promotions in 2 seasons, rather than chasing the carrot that is dangled, only to be out of a job by Christmas.
Yes I know it is a career and you have to try and better yourself, but wait for something else to come up!

Thereās still loads of noise about Koeman going to Everton in the local rag. Apparently, contract talks have stalled with us.
ORLY?
Not according to the Torygraph
Saints are bigger than Liverpool
Evertonās interest in appointing Ronald Koeman was considered so unlikely to tempt the Southampton manager that key figures at the club cannot recall there even being a meeting about it. The polite answer being that they would not expect to lose a player to Everton, and certainly not their managerā¦
It would be no surprise, in fact, if Koeman, with one year left on his deal, were to sign a new contract at Southampton over the next few months. The club are realistic enough to know he would not necessarily stay for the duration of any new deal but for now they feel their shrewd Dutch manager is happy with life and acknowledges the benefits of being at such a well-run club.
Mane:-
The kind of sum that might once have prised away a Southampton favourite, for instance the Ā£23 million it cost to sign Adam Lallana in 2014, or the Ā£25 million it cost Manchester United to buy Morgan Schneiderlin, is just not going to cut it, because life is changing fast at one of the Premier Leagueās most upwardly-mobile clubs.
ManĆ© is not for sale. That is the first point response to any inquiry, although this is football, so the first answer is never the only answer. With two years left on his contract, ManĆ©, if he ever goes, will be Southamptonās biggest ever sale, valued at up to Ā£40 million, eclipsing the Ā£31.5 million paid by United for Luke Shaw two years ago. With all respect to Liverpoolās status, if they want Mane, they will have to get used to outbidding the likes of United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
I linked that article on the transfers thread so yep, a lot of conflicting information out there. Even with the sums on offer, I canāt see it being that attractive to him. Itās the same job as heād have here. attempting to make a club great, but from much shakier foundations.
While it does seem that Everton finally have a bit of money to throw about, weāve all seen how a club can go from stable to precarious if a financier takes the hump.
I think if Koeman was Unemployed he would take Everton job over Southampton job, but I hope that under the present circumstances he will think it safer to cut a deal with Lesley & stick where he is. That is what I think.
What is interesting about the Toffee Ron stories is that they seem to emanate from the Dutch paper De Telegraaf.
You might have thought that they would have inside track.
That said, I canāt see it myself.
Perhaps Ronās using ālocalā media to allow us to see his worth in upcoming contract negotiations?
