Rio's in cloud cuckoo land if he thinks Jose is fit to replace Fergie
Rio Ferdinand has made more than his fair share of flighty statements over the years, but hinting that Jose Mourinho should be the next Manchester United[LNB]manager shows he really does have his head in the clouds.[LNB]The Portuguese may be arrogant enough for the job, as Ferdinand claims, but what about the club's tradition of attacking football?[LNB] Winner at all costs: Mourinho's style would not go down well at Old Trafford[LNB] [LNB]Mourinho is a pragmatist and really couldn't care less about style and aesthetics. He wins at all costs and whatever you think about United, winning alone never seems to be enough.[LNB] More from Hatchet Man...
