Going from a guy that has stayed for nearly 30 years to another one who bails out after just 3 from each of his last few clubs leaving a wasteland behind doesn't seem like the right policy.

Roy Keane is looking for a job.

[FunkMonk]

I will laugh so hard if Mourinho goes to Manchester United.

Press here is saying Ole Gunnar Solskjær will get the job. Though while he did win the league last year he has only got 2 points in 7 games so far. I don't think so.

I think his hand may have been forced a bit. A few newspapers reported that he was seriously considering it (led by the Telegraph) and given that United are a listed company they had to confirm/deny it quickly. I imagine the plan was for it all to happen after the season's finished.
