Serious question: Manchester United offered Pep the manager job in 2013. Would you take him now over Mourinho and explain why. (self.reddevils)

I believe Pep is a great manager. At this time he's managing a team in transition compared to Barcelona and Bayern that were already powerful.

Pep is going thru a tough challenge and I believe he will overcome it and eventually succeed. City will give him the time and resources to do so. Also keep in mind that there are only 2 managers, currently n the PL, who are multi-winning European Champions.

Compared to Pep, Mourinho has managed Porto and Inter, good teams but never known as being European top royalty. He took them and made them into European Champions. These teams have had countless managers ever since and unfortunately not one was ever capable of duplicating that level of success.

In case you've forgotten, while at Inter, Mourinho beat both Barcelona and Bayern to win the Champions League.

Some say why he wasn't as successfull at Chelsea or Real Madrid. For one, these clubs are notorious for hiring and firing managers at the owners whim while demanding instant success. And coincidently, they're clubs rife with player power. Keep in mind that if 'mighty' Antonio Conte does not win Champions League next season, Roman will ship him out and get Simeone, if he's available.

Compared to other managers, in recent rimes, Mourinho lasted the longest at these clubs. And btw, he was not fired from Real Madrid as some of you believe.

When SAF retired, imo there was only one world class manager able to succeed a Legend and manage this great club. And that is Jose Mourinho. It was just meant to be.

Thank you for reading and forgive my grammar English is my 2nd language.

Probably not, it seems like Mourinho is changing his tactics if needed but Pep seems a bit stubborn like van Gaal which could kill him.

Pep would have been excellent for United, but in hindsight, Mourinho would be more preferred due to the fact that he has PL experience with Chelsea. You can see that Pep is starting to notice that the PL is tougher than La Liga and Bundesliga due to higher competition and the winter scheduling. Plus, Mourinho has mentioned his dream was to manage United, and it's noticeable to see that he is enjoying it as much as we are

van Gaal's football was enough to make me hate possession football.

After SAF's retirement, Pep was my number one choice, but that changed after watching us play possession football under van Gaal.

In hindsight, I would still have taken him in a heartbeat instead of Moyes. I'm sure he would have been a far better successor to Fergie than him and perhaps some of the pain of the last few years could have been avoided.

Having said that, given the situation we are in now would I swap tomorrow for Pep? No. Mourinho has taken to the job well, he's looked at home from the minute he walked in the door. He understands the club in a way that most managers/people don't. He's shown a willingness to adapt and change and to adopt the cultures of the club, on and off the field. Pep is quality, but Jose has earned massive respect so far, even ignoring performances on the pitch (which have also been steadily improving since his arrival).

No. I don't get a good feeling about him, I don't think he has any fight in him whatsoever & cracks are already starting to show at city. I think his tactics are far to expansive for a league as competitive and unpredictable as the EPL and I don't think he values the virtues of actual defending (a slight hint of continental elitism in that). He's like LVG in terms of how sometimes you'd be scratching your head at the sheer arrogance in a lot of his decisions, & that's how City fans are feeling now.

Lastly, I think it says a lot of the competition in Spain that non-elite mangers like Enrique & Zidane do well. A lot of Barca fans don't even like Enrique & for me he isn't even top 20 in the world, same goes for Zidane. You could argue that Pep built (or at least tweaked) the system that allows such a manager to look good despite archaic decisions and stupid signings, but the truth is the competition isn't half as fierce as it is in England. I think he'll leave without winning a single title.

Mourinho knows the league, has done it CL with teams that doesn't have the best player in the world, and both of them don't stay at clubs for long so don't even talk about the long term thing.

also fuck possession football i don't want to see that shit ever again.

After SAF's retirement in 2013, my first choice would have been Pep, 2nd choice would have been Mourinho.

Earlier last season, my first choice would have still been Pep to take over from LVG, Mourinho as a 2nd choice. He would have been the perfect manager to build on LVG's "boring possession".

Don't get me wrong, given the circumstances, absolutely delighted to have Mourinho, but I'd have to admit if we could have gotten Pep, I'd have preferred it.
