The Liquidator 255 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Tourette’s? I only ask because for years when he was a player he shunned the media, very rarely doing interviews outside of the in-house Man Utd TV station, fueling the rumour they would only air the bits that were suitable. Since he has retired and been let off the Manchester United lease, he has become a pain in each of the managers who have replaced SAF, backsides with his constant criticisms of their work & how United play. Today he has another dig at Jose, baiting him with “Guardiola would hate what Mourinho is doing” This after being put in his place by Jose during last season when he pointed out how poor a pundit Scholes was. Interestingly, this lead to Scholes becoming less frequent a guest on BT Sport. The thing about football punditry is it gives you a platform to expose your own shortcomings, so it becomes a public display of weirdness, which, alas, Scholes behavior brings me to this thread question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan 15,557 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Or he just thinks that anyone after Fergie is useless and no-one can ever be as good as him. Why is Jose allowed to point out how poor he thinks Scholes is as a pundit but Scholes isn't allowed to have a dig back? Do you just not like Paul Scholes, therefore think he is weird and has 'Tourettes'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcanuck 123 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Many United fans were surprised that Scholes became a pundit and have been shocked by some of his criticism. You never heard much comment from him as a player, so it was a big turn around to see him air his opinions. On more serious note, while I have dealt with family and friends with Autism Disorders such as Tourettee's and Aspergers, you lost me with Term X, what is that about?

Did you just see Jose press conference? Wow Does it help? Perhaps a little. When your ex players turned pundits are saying the same thing as the fan base, I think there is a chance the powers that be at your club will take into account the criticism. We all know they don't listen to the fans. I would rather hear ex players give constructed criticism, than be nothing more than mouth pieces for the club. Hard to see press conferences over here unless you go searching on the net. The last one I saw was Jose talking about the great facilities at UCLA, how he was happy with United's full backs and he wants two more players, presumably a CB and RW.

If United get the players he wants, I suspect he would believe they can challenge for the title. No I don't want Jose out, but there is room for improvement.

Ok, but if asked what percentage of United fans want to see a change in manager, what would your figure be? Please bare in mind its his 3rd year with you.

Please bare in mind its his 3rd year with you. Hard to put numbers on it. I would say that a majority are disapointed but most are willing to give him at least another year. Certainly the majority dont like his style of football and prefer the football other clubs in the top 6 play. There is a hell of a lot negativity around the United boards at the moment but that is down to no transfer activity in the last five weeks. Fans were pretty optimistic after we signed Fred and Dalot and it would pick up again if we make a few signings in the next couple of weeks. Mourinho signed a new contract til the end of the 2020 season (plus option year) and unless this season is a disaster, I think he remains as United's manager for awhile yet. He doesn't seem to have the options he once had and the Glazer's seem happy with a top four finish and a couple long runs in the cups.

So what about defenders? You know what I have said about them since he has been there. Do you think there is any truth in he is willing move on most players for 4 new defenders? https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/manchester-united/manchester-united-target-four-top-class-defenders-as-pogba-set-for-move-away-premier-league-transfer-rumours-37149392.html Edited July 24, 2018 by The Liquidator Add Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
