What? Taking them away from the greatest city on the planet and moving them to a damp backwater in the middle of nowhere?

I agree. It would be verging on child abuse if he did that.

He could find a house less than two hours from Euston if he had the desire.

Living in The Lowry he has no right to grumble.

Why not read my post properly ,especially the first few words , but as an aside what lucky escapes have united had recently ?
I was at the game so haven't seen a replay but looked like Bailly could have got a second yellow at the end of the first half - if he got the ball then fair enough. If not then, he definitely took Hazard out off the ball which should have been a booking and a penalty very early on in the second. Pretty sure that's when he sustained his injury.

Can't recall it so much of a non event was it,but would it have happened had muppet been sent off ,unlikely.

As I said it was an aside to my point ,which was totally misunderstood by 2 posters.

Hey. Don't shoot the manager. Your boss calls living in Manchester "a disaster".

Would you want to live in a fking hotel, even one as nice as The Lowry? Please also bear in mind that despite speaking 6 languages, Mourinho's English can be a little misplaced at times.

I love how people think that players actually live in Manchester when in actual fact they live well outside of it. You couldnt pay me to live in London, give me Cheshire, Derbyshire any day of the week!

Indeed. The only players I've known to live in Manchester itself are the Neville brothers and Fabian Barthez. I'm sure there are/were more but most live in the suburbs.

Mourinho's house in London is in Belgravia ( I only know this because it's a 2 min walk from where I work and last summer the Pap's camped outside his house)....not my cup of tea but not too shabby either.

I fking hate the hypocrytical but you can understand not moving kids at their age...and it doesn't matter who you are and how much money you have....you want to live with your family.

Surely there must be plenty of nice house available...it doesn't exactly take long to get from Piccadilly to Euston on a virgin train, 2 hours is it not? nothing stopping his family coming to stay with him...

Not exactly a lack of house close to Old Trafford is there

There are loads of properties suitable for a multi-millionaire but the problem with these properties is when they try to sell on they lose bucketloads as the market is very limited. That could be one of the reasons why he's said he won't buy?

If I were him I wouldn't want to be rattling around on my own in one of those massive houses. Tough one to get it right for him and for his family. Maybe his wife will join him when his kids are settled into their new routines in London?

If he's not so happy off the pitch nor on it, it can't be easy.

I didn't realise he hasn't moved his family. Not a good position to be in with all the pressure.
Does he not like his family ?leaving them there?
His daughter's 20 and at a London university. His son's 17. On the cusp of uni. No parent in their right mind would move a child during such a crucial time in their education.

Still, your boss says he has food delivery apps on his phone. So, he's gonna hanker down in his hotel suite, avoid the uncouth locals and eat Chinese takeaways. While plotting league domination.

Sans Rooney.
I thought he just wanted to keep his daughter away from Giggsy...?

Makes sense as most get moved around quite often.
