Last time Mourinho was sacked on December 17th. I think Woodward should just call him the individual in the announcement.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Look guys I know we are having a hard time keeing form, and EVERY player keeping form. But we are the only English team to beat Shitty and Victimpool this season so I'm taking this as us not being as bad as I think we are at times.

And I'm praying to the atoms that we bring in fresh blood in Jan!!

The problem is I prefer the devil we know as I reckon RM are looking at Mou again and that terrible feeling of ZZ going to Mancland is crushing me. OK hes not had to walk into a club thats a mess before but if he got properly backed it would be bad

Thing is we all know that it's only a question of when not if, that they get tired of Mourinhos antics. His saving grace would be a CL win -which with odds of 40/1 is pretty unlikely - however might be worth a cheeky fiver

On one hand it makes me so happy to see the Mancs getting bitter and twisted over Mou.

When he was with us - moth times, and when he go to the imploding part the Mancs took great pleasure in taking the piss at every chance they had. And they really pulled Mou apart.

Yet as soon as he signs for them they changed it to the 2nd coming of Christ himself and we were crazy to sack him!!!

So paybacks a bitch. But I dont mind him staying. Just as I wanted old vinegar tits to stay in north London. I dont want to have a better alternative taking over.

Yup youre right fans are fickle. I will always appreciate what he did at SW6 -the three titles and FA and League cups. For that reason I could never attack him the way some do, and not many at Stamford Bridge sing the now default away fans chant of 'Fuck off Mourinho', always most vocal at Anfield.   As far as United are concerned I think their dynasty days are over after Ferguson, they will have brief successes, but that sustained dominance has sailed.

I never say never buddy.

Look at Victimpool and Shitty. Bring in the right manager, give him some time and real backing and a few transfer windows and theres good things can be done.

IF Manure got in the right guy they would be a real danger I think. They dont have money problems only need a manager that can manage players. Mou always has his favorites and he doesn't give a toss about the others,

I too loved him for what we did together. But since leaving it seems hes gone out to deliberately tear down any of that good feeling  and history he had with us.

He's got me to the stage where I'm torn between feeling sorry for him, laughing at his antics and disliking him. Depending on the day.

If they get a proper face in, yes they could win one or two things but the chances of a Ferguson type successful stretch are negligible, with their noisy neighbours backed arab billions, and the same with the dippers - bit of success, but can see Klopp chucking his toys around sometime soon. Anyway back to the present I don't want to see any of those red teams or Citeh winning what no other English team has since 2012

I'm with you mate!!

Well it was 3 years ago today we sacked his arse for the 2nd time. Lets see if lightning can strike twice!

I checked it again, it was definitely 36 shots, the second highest ever in the premier league. Incredible for manchester utd to allow such. Theres no coming back from this for mourinho.

At this point, what is even the point of Mourinho? He can't even organize defences anymore, which is something he's well known for, and he can't get results in the big games anymore (D2 L3 this season, conceding at least twice in each game), again something he's known for. He's like a man who's ran out of ideas.

[11Drogba 2,000]

He is not sacked yet, what the hell.

 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

In regards to firing Jose:  I think it really depends on who they plan to bring in.  If it's Jardim or Zidane, yes.  Get them in, let them see what they are working with so you now what you're after in the summer market.  If you want someone who is currently employed, you'll have to wait for the summer anyway.

Now, if Utd wait until the summer, then bring in Zidane or Jardim?  That would be idiotic.  

Let's see.

Honestly whoever goes into United has got huge issues. Pogba, Sanchez, Lukaku, all big players, huge huge earners but their under performing like fuck. Even Rashford, Lingard, Martial (dropped off the face of the earth recently after rejecting a new deal, while being on a good run, maybe injured who knows)... I mean Pogba started well but has been awful, if he was here doing the same we would be saying get him out too.

Even if Jose doesnt get sacked United have big issues. Herrera is a good player but he isnt starting ahead of Pogba and Fred for nothing... Zidane and Jardim would struggle with that team too. Also their board have no footballing knowledge.

Stephen Warnock -yeah because that's just what we need -another Liverpool supporting 'pundit'. Theyre like a fucking virus on TV

Mourinho leaves Man United

[Jase 43,479]

HOLY SHIT!!!

[11Drogba 2,000]

17th December 2015 - Sacked by Chelsea.

18th December 2018 - Sacked by Manchester United.

19th December 2021 - ????

[Special Juan 27,478]

Not surprised at all, in fact I said on Saturday that if he lost to Liverpool he would be sacked.

Cannot carry on with players and treat people like he does and get away with it, deserves it.
