Rayvin 4964 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If the consensus is that we prefer him to Pardew though, then, assuming we don't go down, we're in a better position with him than we would have been if Pardew was still here. Â Meaning that getting rid of Pardew will have paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38828 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Assuming he takes the job, if he's offered it. We might just not be able to get him over the line, despite our best efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 He's a better coach than Pardew, slightly less of a bellend too (dodgy dutch accent aside). I far prefer him over Pardew but it's not an overly ambitious appointment. Â Aye, I'd agree with this. I'd take him mirroring his achievements at Boro in a heartbeat atm.

Â Aye I agree with that. Â I'd be happy with Mclaren, he proven himself to be a capable, if not spectacular, club manager throughout his career. Had the balls to go and manage abroad which almost no english coaches do. Â Also he's not a complete arsehole which would be a nice change after Pards and Carvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4229 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Mourinho wins Premier League manager of the season.Whats the point of that award when it just goes to the Manager who wins the league pretty much every season.Surely Mourinho winning the league with Chelsea (who were on very short odds to win the league) is less of a triumph of management than Koeman making Southampton look a better team after losing so many players last summer (and subsequently being considered as potential relegation candidates by many) or Monk doing as well as he has in his first full season as a manager having also lost his best player in January.

Â I'd definitely give it to Monk or maybe Koeman. Â Mourinho is a great manager and deserves recognition for that, but I don't think this season really tested his mettle. It's not like he had to inspire a team to maintain their high standards while they duke it out blow for blow with a Man City firing on all cylinders or anything. Â What Monk has quietly achieved with Swansea in a season where a lot of people expected his limitations would be laid bare, is really impressive.
