What's the news on LVG sacking? Please tell me we will have better coach/staff/players next season
Hey TG, been a while since you've been around here haha so how have you been?
Anyways, from what I've read through a period of around roughly 3-4 months, Mourinho will be appointed manager of Manchester United ahead of next season
Nothing has been signed, as I believe anything that may affect the share prices must be disclosed to the public since we're listed on the stock market
Mourinho has had several offers to return back to management but has politely declined them all (incl. Real Madrid & PSG)
Jorge Mendes, the super agent in football is also Mourinho's agent, so there's already been work done behind the scenes regarding possible signings
Off the top of my head, Mendes is currently shopping around Andre Gomes from Valencia and James Rodriguez who seems to be headed for the exit door after falling out of favour at Real Madrid (would love Rodriguez, he'd walk into any starting line up in the Premier League)
Of course nothing is set in stone, ultimately the board has the final say on whether or not they'll terminate LvG's contract once the season is up but my understanding from various reliable sources is that Mourinho will be in the Old Trafford dugout come next season - if anything changes regarding the mangerial situation, I'll let you know
P.S. Sir Alex, Sir Bobby and David Gill are non-executive board members - meaning, they have no real power to act (e.g. if they wanted to fire LvG), they are merely advisor's as the Glazers and Woodward have final say on decisions
