The Alan Brazil picture behind Simon is haunting
I swear I saw his eyes blink a third of the way through
He’s always watching
It makes you wonder whether this is just simply a room at Talksport that Simon is given to use. Or whether it's actually assigned to Simon while he's on TS's payroll and he's allowed to personalise it to a certain degree but given the type of person I think Simon Jordan to be I can't really imagine that he would be that interested in personalizing his room.
If managers like Slot, Poch, Ten Hag who haven’t achieved anything significant in the last 5 years are still getting top jobs in the PL then why can’t Jose get any.
Jose Mourinho and Manchester United where a match made in Heaven ...I'll take him back
Unfortunately they are still stuck in the 2004 this is Man Utd way
Interestingly when Jose attended a ManUtd match (post dismissal) he received a warm fan reception acknowledging his trophy success.
@@vincentvries9854in 2004 arsenal went invincible
Yep I’d take him back too. Loved his attitude
Same 💯
I agree Simon...Mourinho is brilliant
All it took was for Simon or English media to say it and now Mourinho is suddenly brilliant
Good joke 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@21DMN whats the joke? He is one of the most successful managers of all time. Only club he didnt win a trophy at was Tottenham and well that's Tottenham.
He isn't the special one anymore....he plays outdated strategy/football..never ever the right man for Liverpool. And he has absolutely no manners.....not good enough for LFC.
@@arnodeberti8271 Outdated football? Rubbish. He plays winning football. By your logic, Simeone, Ancelotti, Inzaghi etc play outdated football too? Has no manners? Do you know him? Football is about winning trophies not being the "nice" guy.
Bring Jose back to United now!! Should never of let him go!!
Lol your not a utd fan are you, i'd be happy for him to go back there. he's a toxic park the bus manager that turns on his players when it doesn't work cos its all about him. fergie sussed him and so did pep
Jose's time at Roma and Man U was successful, Roma had two finals back to back one won and the other lost because of the referee, he won 3 trophies in Man and finished 2nd how can you call this a failed season, 1000 of managers don't get these results in there life time.
And Levy sacked him a week before the Carabao cup final to employ the joke that is Ryan Mason.
Simon and Souness , I could listen to these two guys all day, great chemistry! keep up the good work
I will always love Jose💯💪 Besides Don Carlo best manager of all time 💯👏
Jose is a legend I honestly love the guy and I’ve never met him. Think what young players that might get to work with him must feel.
if Mourinho can go to Liverpool or Madrid or Bayern and fail, then he might be done as a coach. until that happens, Im not writting him off. the last time Jose was in a top club that had good players and wasnt a complete mess was Chelsea and he won the league with them. he won some trophies in Man Utd but we all know by now the story of that club. same with Spurs. he won Roma their first trophy in who knows how many years and reached a Europa League final. I wanna see him at a top club one more time to see if he is finished or if he still has it.
Ancelotti proved a comeback is possible if there is a good structure
@@Tuig4663tf absolutely
Jose’s style of management has always been ideally suited to cup football, you give him this set of England players and I’d be very confident he will deliver silverware.
Wrong. If u look at what Jose is as a coach, u will see that he adapts to what he has and who he faces so yeah he would dominate cup tournaments but he can't be boxed in.
Arsenal fan here, I would hate to see Jose at Liverpool. He’s an instant winner and that would be a new problem to us.
@@joshferguson8494 He’s a horrible person but a great coach, he’ll take them to new heights. At least in the first couple of seasons.
"A new problem to you"? Sounds like Arsenal have dominated LFC over the years.. lol
Liverpool Fan here: Yes I would take Jose, I said it soon as Klopp was leaving, now that all the managers that the FANS WANT are not available Jose is the man for the job - still a big manager - players will respect him, OUR DEFENCE is not the greatest this season leaking goals left right and centre - Jose can sort that out instantly - we have the fire power already, he would put Trent straight in midfield where he belongs - shake up the midfield teach them how to Hold and defend properly - sorry LFC fans but the way we leak goals only Arsenal and City can throw the title away - we will be lucky to win the league this season - and if we lose - it's because of the defence simple as that - we need to learn how to hold onto a 1 - 0 result instead we are always stressing even if we are 2 - 0 up, it all needs to change (JOSE AND PLAYERS WILL LOVE EACH OTHER AND THE YOUNG KIDS WILL STILL GET THEIR CHANCE)
Up to and including his 2nd season at Real Madrid, he was on track to become the greatest manager of all-time. His work at Leiria, Porto, Chelsea, Inter and during those first 2 seasons at Real Madrid was incredible. From his final season at Real Madrid onwards, he declined from his previously ridiculously high standards to merely being excellent, world class etc.
Could he make a comeback like ancelotti if coached a team with a good structure?
If winning a prem is a decline then I dont know what to say.
@@aazraghavjose you didn’t actually read the post that you responded to properly.
@@Gizo02 what I mean is that the team he created in his 2nd spell was equal to all the prior teams you are talking about. His work was cut short as he was not given the players he wanted in the third season.(stories of griezman etc). We would never know what would have happened if the building project would have continued. It was a work of art. The team did underachieve compared to his 1st team but then again the third season transfer window was a joke.
@@aazraghavjose well his Chelsea team were close to the relegation zone when he was sacked following his second spell there. That was a disastrous collapse in 2015/2016. And at Utd, he paid the price for overly negative tactics away to Sevilla (settling for a 0-0 draw away), which triggered a decline there. But note I didn’t say he declined to become a chump, I said he declined from being on track to potentially become the best ever bar none, to merely world class (and still assured to end up as one of the best ever).
Fabulous show...Two of the best 👌
I agree with Simon, I would have him as England manager too..
Yeah. He is better as a tournament manager than as a long-haul manager. He doesn't stay around for long if things aren't going well. He knows how to neutralise and strangle great teams and motivate players who are loyal to him. In short, he knows how to navigate tournaments and win trophies. His footy isn't always pretty, but I'm not sure England fans ( having not won anything since 66 ) care the man were to bore them to winning the WC.
Amazing video!
Souness and Simon
Sorry 😅 I have to disagree... I think Simon and Souness sounds way better.
Jose is an undoubted character with admirers and critics in equal measure. My objection to him at Liverpool is that he is a manager for 'in their prime' players. He isn't a man who specialises in bringing through young talent as he only hangs around for three years maximum. As the reds don't have the funds of City, they need to bring through players before they reach their peak sell price, and that isn't Jose's game.
Before 2004, Lampard wasn't in his prime, Drogba wasn't in his prime, Terry wasn't in his prime, Cech wasn't in his prime, and a few more. They were all on the precipice though, and a lot of players for Liverpool are in the same boat. But I take your point that we have a lot of academy talent to nurture through too, the kids that won the league cup
This was brilliant and hilarious. Love the chemistry between the two.
Absolutely love Simon Speaks a lot of sense
Mourinho vs Guardiola at Madrid vs Barcelona was different. Nothing comes close, the size of the games was HUGE and the hate between clubs was massive. So much so, the Spanish national team was fractured because of it.
If you mixed scary spice bo selecta fabio capello ronnie bark-eh and a scorced gammon steak you've pretty much got simon jordan
Jose as England manager would give us great entertainment at least, and McGuire and Rashford would not be near in his squad. Go for it!
Jose wanted McGuire at MU so he may stay in England squad but Rashford/Shaw no chance
Good to see you both looking so healthy and enjoying each other's company once again.
Love these two ❤
Simon you are just a podcast presenter. The limelight is Souness. So it’s… Souness and Simon 👍🏻
I think at this stage of his career, Mourinho is better suited to international management, he can galvanise and instil confidence in a group of players over a short period, rather than innovate or have to tactically dominate the likes of Pep over an entire season. I’d deffo take him as next England manager.
Mourinho has schooled Pep tactically in a thousand different ways but Pep is football's poster boy and people love themselves a face of the sport. They will be handing this off to Arteta and Xabi, Arteta will be the poster boy while Xabi will be the guy that will be questioned even though he is doing everything Arteta will never come close to.
@@vincentvries9854💯 mate
@@vincentvries9854 AT THIS STAGE OF HIS CAREER! The stage where he hasn’t won a league title in 10years, the stage where he hasn’t reinvented his tactics or progressed his style of play. He and Pep are completely different animals now, have been for nearly a decade. And Pep has the way better head-to-head, never mind the ability to reinvent the game and stay one step ahead of his competition while still winning titles.
@@vincentvries9854Lol what? Guardiola has achieved more in terms of pure trophy count. 38 to 26. Really, really poor comment and it shows the level of thinking football fans in general often display. 🤣
Agree.
Actually love these two together 😆
I saw Jose in Chelsea the other day on the kings road…what a man of beauty he is..magnificent.
I would love Jose at LFC. He would feel loved, he would get the fans going and I think he would do great at Liverpool
Clueless
@@Kingofthekop1Clueless
I agree completely. How many managers out there will get the respect of the players.
@@Alex-ng6wx I called the other guy clueless. Also everyone wanted Alonso you're dumb if you didn't want him.
Got to correct the Drogba success story. Drogba scored only 10 league goals the 04-05 season. He missed a fair bit through injury too. He was constantly diving and falling over that season. I remember him being booed when getting his medal. His best season was after Jose. It was 09-10 he got 29 goals in 32 and the Golden Boot. And the winner in the FA Cup.
Yeah he then got laughed at by the Chelsea fans on one particular dive and cut it out. Bit like Ronaldo when he first turned up at Utd as a kid. Dived about, got smashed in training by Scholes and Keane and then cut it out.
Love these guys.
So souness would take Mourinho at liverpool despite the fact that he's the complete opposite to klopp and plays defensive. SJ would take him as england manager even though he's defensive which is exactly what Southgate is criticised for. Ontop of all this its pretty easy to see that Jose is past it and has been for the last 10 years. Sometimes these guys dont have a clue
Mourinho wins. England don't
@@seemymobot4987 its been 7 years since he won a half decent trophy
These guys are hypocrites but this thing of calling Jose "past it", it's a load of turd. It will never make any sense because what is this supposed modern football thing really based on? Because Pep is literally doing the same thing he was doing at Barca which he also did at Bayern. Klopp is doing exactly what he was doing at Dortmund. All the upcoming coaches, especially the upcoming ones in the EPL specifically that are praised are copy and pasting what the Mourinhos and Peps and Ancelottis have done. We have watched fullbacks like Ashley Cole, Roberto Carlos, Thuram, Zanetti, Cafu, Maldini, Lahm, Marcelo, Gary Neville, Evra, Dani Alves etc etc but people will tell me guys like Robertson and Trent and Shaw and Cancelo etc are the modern fullbacks, and yet all of the can't defend, they aren't consistent, they can't stay fit so what makes them great then? or better than those legends because these boys aren't lacing even Gary Neville's boots for starters and he was the least fanciest fullback but he is Mr Reliable. This "modern football" thing is just a excuse for u guys, I swear.
Mourinho would be a disaster for both
@@seemymobot4987 As a Spurs fan I don't mind saying that we are like the equivalent of England at club level, in being a big club/team that never wins anything. Mourinho managed us and couldn't win us a trophy in his short time there and don't think he would have won the League Cup against City either, were he kept on. I have no reason to think he'd win something with England either, especially the past it version of Mourinho he's since become.
Love mourinho
I would love Jose at Liverpool
No true Liverpool fan would want a ex manc as manager
@@garethmackinnon6782 grow up
@@garethmackinnon6782after the comedy club fired him like they did ...... I would get that man quick ..... cause the beatings united would get would make the blessed Anfield jump !
Simon needs to have a sit down with Jose, it would be a interesting interview because Jose is smart and very calculative while Simon wants to debate a lot and wants to look smart while making the other person look stupid. Jose's presence alone changes how the people behave, we have seen the likes of Gary Neville and Suoness change when he was on sky
Simon got a new time piece nice move
I'd be happy if Jose came to Arsenal 😊 Loving this series of Simon & souness
bring mourinho back.....did great job and will be better and more trophies get axe bcos proba
I have been a Chelsea supporter since 1961. Nobody was as pleased as I was when Jose Mourinho came to Chelsea the first time. Then again the 2nd time and now can't wait for the 3rd time. He is the ONLY coach that can sort out this mess we are in at the moment and the sooner the better. Poch should have been sacked months ago.
Well said Simon. You know your footy
I would have him as England manager too you are completely right Simon imagine Jose as England manager they might actually win something again you can only dream though.
Mourinio for England manager ? agreed .
The rivalry between Liverpool and Jose was based on passion. Time heals all and pool fans would welcome Jose now. I hope he doesn't go though otherwise I would have to start supporting them!
Liverpool fans would not take Jose now at all. He’s one of the greatest managers of all time but he doesn’t fit the club in my opinion nor is he an FSG kind of character. He would demand a crazy contract and no doubt will fallout at some point with players or owners
@@Collier990RHCP If Liverpool is a well run club then he won't cause issues. Man U and Spurs were poisoned by the Board and had people running it who had no idea about football, just about money. Look at City, they give Pep everything he needs to succeed knowing the money will come with proper results. A club which gives Jose what he needs will see success with him too.
@@Son96601 comparing City is a bit of a stretch though isn’t it. A state owned club with unlimited resources who have a bit of a taint at the moment. FSG will not produce the funding Jose would want. They also wouldn’t introduce a manger for crazy wages which is something he’d want I’m sure. He’s too much of a risk and Liverpool do not need that after having a manger like Klopp and all his staff leave.
@@Collier990RHCP It's not just about the money - Spurs, United, Chelsea etc have tons of money. It's about backing the manager to help him build his team. It's not like at this point Jose is desperate for money lol. It's not a risk if the club is properly run and who else is out there right now? If pool want a world class manager to follow Kloop, then Jose is the guy.
@@Son96601 it’s never happening to be fair
Best show on you tube lads say it how it is no bullshit
He was born in Failsworth Lancashire, lived there for ten years then moved to Hull

He was great 15 years ago but the game has evolved. He would destroy the foundations laid by klopp
Yeah clown But Liverpool is a small club for him so don’t bother he ain’t ever coaching Liverpool
Apart from real Madrid Liverpool is bigger than any club he's ever managed by far you clown@@nelsoncarter8323
Mourinho knows how to galvanise a squad, and how to win tactical battles in knock out competitions. He would be a machine with that England team. Turn them into killers, almost impossible to score against, lethal on the counter, knows how to get the best from a lone striker.. Pretty sure he would win tournaments no problem.
I love Graeme. One of the greatest players in LFC history. But he's wrong about Mourinho. LFC fans would protest any appointment of him.
I agree mate. Jose would be a toxic choice
I have him as Liverpool manager. Been a Liverpool fan all my life.
I think Simon is right, there are two very different versions of JOSE MOURINHO. And, Jose has as good as admitted as much himself. As soon as he came away from Chelsea for the first time he admitted that he was a completely different character to the person who people saw while he was a manager and said that it was a bit of a charade. You saw how he was on the subject of Liverpool during his analysis of the Liverpool 4 Barcelona 0 match - and he couldn't have been more enthusiastic and complimentary about the Anfield club or their manager. But of course he was nothing like that when managing Chelsea, Manchester United or Tottenham.
Wrote for the sun didn’t help, Graham what a player, Owen , macmanaman, will never be held high in real Liverpool fan’s highest esteem
Souness&Simon does have a better flow to it..get it changed Simon 👍 if you agree and Jose for Liverpool
6:09 Grahames face when they say Pogba 😂
John Sitton documentary was the best movie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Simon with the Up glasses
Enzo Maresca is an Italian He is currently the manager of EFL Championship club Leicester Born 10 February 1980 watch him how he transformed Leicester City i would like very much for him to a perfect replacement for Jürgen Klopp.
I'd have my nan as England manager over southgate especially with the wealth of talent he has to work with Southgate is just a yes man to the FA
the next manager will also be a yes man to the FA so get used to it
@@ndub415 southgate will be judged on his next managerial job , he ripped it up at middlesbrough
A semi finalist and a finalist not enough ?
@@123bwlch no
Jose for England could happen. Imagine ‘Sir’ Gareth if England win despite him. Stay on to go for WC glory? Ask Sourness to speak to Danny Boy to see if he would like Southgate as Pool manager? There is a vacancy, but somehow the MSM not pushing that clickbait story. No mention of how he’d be good at Chels with all that young talent that needs galvanising. No let’s inflict him on United. I’d rather have the tea lady/man than have Southgate. He is Championship level at a push, but he does dress smartly and does doff his cap to the blazers.
Ranieri the tinker man simon throws in as soon as souness mentioned his name. Nowadays with rotation considered necessary no team plays the same players twice.
I’m massive Liverpool fan mourinho proven winner all day
It is clearly Souness & Simon. It sounds far better to the ear.
It really doesn't
Wenger vs Ferguson. In 7 seasons from 1997~2004, it was 3:4 in titles and arsenal had 2 doubles and Man U a treble.
think sir jim was thinking other clubs cos he never tought glaziers would sell club or part of it
Would love Jose at England. He’s the most English foreigner there is.
Mourinho to liverpool pls. He deserve one final try with a prestige club. Win liverpool few more league title and he will be forever remembered by the liverpool supporters.
Jose at Roma brought quality players to Roma on the cheap. He will find those professional footballers willing to come and play a role at a great club like Liverpool. There are many talented players in Leagues around Europe still to be tapped. All fans want, is to win trophies and Jose will adapt the tactics to suit the squad available. At Spurs, Kane/Son combo broke record for goal/assist contributions in a season under Jose. Liverpool owners, would not go wrong hiring Jose on a short term 1/2 year contract readying the squad until Xabi Alonso is willing to come??? Like Mou preparing Real Madrid for Zidane success! Next year requires a winning manager to stabilize the club near the top - no risks.
Souness and Simon!
The two best pundits in England by far.
'I've got an out of date yoghurt I need to get home and eat '🤣
Simon and Graham
I used to almost hate Simon Jordan, but I've really started to like him, and agree with him between 50-75% of the time, depending on the topic. However, I love these 2 together, they're a very equal match for each other, and it always makes for an entertaining show. It's verbal sparring, and neither of them likes to give the other an inch, but it used to be very heated and almost hateful, because they despised each other. Now it's absolutely brilliant, and far better, and all because they became friends, over the noblest of causes. Souness met a little girl called Debra, who has a horrible, horrific condition, where her skin peels off constantly, all over her body, leaving her with tremendous pain because her body is always red raw all the time. So Souness decided to raise money for the condition called Epidermolysis bullosa, by swimming the full 21 miles of the English Channel at 70 years old 👏👏. He invited Simon Jordan up for a charity event, and to Simon Jordans credit, he went to the event and donated money. Souness raised over £1m, and Simon Jordan was impressed at Souness completing the 21 miles and swimming for 12hrs 17mins. That charity event has made the dynamic between the two of them far better, because they are friends now. It's still verbal sparring, but far more like banter, instead of distain.
I can just picture Simon Jordan practicing his Michael Caine impression in the mirror wearing those specs….. and not a lot of people know that!
Brilliant 👍🤣
He'd be great there
"We all wanted him to fail" - Just shows how long Souness has been a dinosaur.
Mourinho at Liverpool wouldn’t mind but he needs to win over the Liverpool fans for sure with past experience against us
See Levi mate did not mention sacking Maurhino before the league cup final.
Sir Bobby’s documentary just call me Bobby was great
As a Liverpool fan. He would be welcomed the way Paul ince was. Players would respect him i think he would do well
Interesting fact about Jose Mourinho ... he has never taken a job where his team is the best team in the league.
He took Inter when the had just done a three peat of serieA 2006,2007 and 2008 (2009,2010 under Jose ) So correct your sentence
Souness and Simon sounds way better!
Jose would be great at Liverpool as director of football and Thomas Franks as manager. Jose would attract the big names & Franks can get on improving the playing side of things & getting results and trophies 🏆 🏆🏆🏆.
It’s not 1998 fella.
So many digs at Graham and it just goes over his head 🤣
Souness & Simon definitely sounds better
When southgate goes mourinho should be next for England manager. Unfortunately the FA dont like outspoken characters.
If Southgate goes. It's entirely possible Southgate wins the Euros for England, then?
@@haydenhoodless2055 I'm afraid it's delusional to think england can win euros with sub par centre backs, and an average goalkeeper
As much as i am a jose fan. To me, within the English league, his a Chelsea man, period. He has a clear soft spot for the club and still does. Not to mention he managed our rivals Man Utd. For those reasons i don’t want him at Liverpool.
Mourinos ambition is to manage Liverpool.He loves that club.
I would have Mourinho at Liverpool, he's perfect to come in after Klopp for 2-3 years and then get someone like Alonso
Imagine giving Jose Alisson,VVD, Konate and Robbo. He just needs a defensive minded RB and they concede 20 goals or less next season
I'd take Jose at Liverpool, see what happens, anything after Klopp is going to be different
The Chelsea-Liverpool rivalry runs too deep for Mourinho to be the manager of LFC. But then again, Benitez went to Chelsea & Everton!
Jose Mourinho the best of the best
6:06 😂
Ferguson is surely the top manager of all times and the rivalry vs Wenger was fantastic.
You have to look when Klopp took over Liverpool and where he's left them. A much better place. European finals, title run-ins. The money we've had vesrus the likes of City and united. H's done an insane job.The football hS BEEN FUN, AMAZING, CRAZY, INTENSE. His legacy is not jus trophies but bringing back some pride and happiness to Liverpool. He's achieved that. He made the people happy.
I've been saying mourinho to lfc for ages. There's only a handful of managers that can walk into any dressing room and get the respect of the players and he is one of them. He's the only man for the job imo . Proven winner
Yes I’d take jose
mourinho and rui faria were a great partnership. not been the same since faria left after man u second season
