We cant all be on the same page unfortunately. I bet if you ask 99% would not say this about Messi there are always idiots.
E.g. People saying they are fans asking for Mourinho of all people.

9 years ago, when people all over were creaming their pants for Jose, I was the only one on this forum and elsewhere who made the counter-argument. But the fact of the matter is that times changes everything, both us and Jose, riding so high a few years ago, are now deep in the gutter, both our great club and the strong personality of Jose need another chance to restore their lost pride.

As for the "Jose-does-not-fit-our-style" argument, I am not sure about its validity. The "style" we are so proud of, was only possible when Xavi & Iniesta were at their pomp, we have long been unable to recreate anything approaching it, trying (and largely failing) several hybrid styles ever since. Our "style" is also a major weakness in European KO ties. It was one of the reasons why vastly inferior teams such as Inter & Chelsea knocked us out in 2010 & 2012. Also, just look at Pep's pathetic CL record since he left us, it's far worse than ours since then.

I maybe wrong about this, but at the point we find ourselves right now, going for Jose (something probably unthinkable even a few hours ago) does not seem so crazy anymore.

The amount of times his teammates has let him down.... club and country.

Messi must be thinking this is the worst Barcelona team he's played with since 2006.

Pep is a serial loser in the CL, which is the only title that has eluded us in recent years. Why would we ever go for him? Also, why would he leave City right now?

He'll probably leave City in the next year or 2. He's already been at City for 3 years. He typically stays at a club for like 3 to 4 years.

We wouldn't get Pep back in any case. But I just want a manager who can make us play like we use to. I get bored from watching us..... never use to be that way.
