You guys will torture yourself all season long.
He's not getting sacked until it's mathematically impossible to get top 4.
It's a joke, farce, etc.
That's just how we operate unfortunately. Any other top club would have sacked him by now.

Two things.
Firstly, it is not “romanticised” to expect a player who does not like the manager to work hard on the pitch when they’re being paid £200k a week to play for the club, it is a minimum expectation.
Secondly, having watched Pogba week in week out for the last three years, yes he literally does switch it on at the click of his fingers. He is one of the most erratic players we’ve ever had, can go from amazing to abysmal in front of your eyes, and from not giving a feck to dominating the match in the space of a minute as well.
Oh, I'm fully aware he won't go until it's mathematically impossible for top 4. But still. I assumed there would be some rumours.
We’re just a rich Bolton Wanderers if we continue.
End it. Now.
End it. Now.
Poor mans Stoke.
I can understand that way of thinking, but it's ever increasingly difficult to play under such a manager and perform when he's doing his best to antagonise everyone around him.
Besides there were games when both him and Martial were crucial and basically singlehandedly saved Mourinho's job, not to mention that Pogba had little rest and no preseason this time due to WC campaign.
Rich mans Stoke. Although at least Stoke tended to be good against the top clubs.
No way, Stoke have a far more progressive manager. We are maybe a rich mans Millwall.
Should open a thread on this. It's a serious discussion. We look like a team that isn't coached.
Ohhh, tasty are heading for the 9%'s with the mad lot.
Please go ahead. All the links are there in my post.
I can see the reason behind your way of thinking. After being heavily criticized I said I was willing to give him the opportunity to prove me wrong but that would require him not throwing players under the bus, changing his off field antics and taking responsibility every once in a while, of course style of football goes without saying...wishful thinking all.
As I said before I honestly believe that Madrid job had changed him, it's the first time fans were against him as well. Winning alone wasn't enough, he was expected to do it as a favorite, winning in style. He's always thrived in the role of the underdog.
Imo best for him would be to take couple of seasons off and try to reinvent himself with some more attacking and more experienced coaching staff. Style like success is cyclical, during some years defensive football works, during some attacking football is the way to go, during some being pragmatic is the key etc.
Just woken up. Any rumors on his potential sacking?
You woke up 4 months early.
You can go back to bed, the nightmare is not over.
He should have gone 2 month ago when there was still a possibility of a new manager making top 4, it's not going to be easy getting a top manager when top 4 is unlikely, especially if their current club is doing well.
José Mourinho safe for now amid business as usual at Manchester United:

This is why we can’t have nice things.
He should have gone before or after Newcastle game regardless of result. But Neville and the other cry babies didn’t like the rumours of him going.
Hindsight, yes. The thing is, if even Mourinho failed, then there must be deeper problems in my opinion. That's why I don't think changing the manager is suddenly going to solve the problems at the club. But we'll see.
"the Guardian understands" basically implying it's free for interpretation...if I say sky's purple, guardian can come out and say "guardian understands the sky isn't brown".
Predictable... but a real shame.
Utterly depressing knowing that there is no chance he’ll be sacked before March at the earliest.
No top club would act in this way and it’s a pisstake now.

It's Jamie Jackson, so that's close enough.
I was critical of Mourinho's tactics even when the team was winning at the start of last season. And got a lot of flak for it. But I didn't expect that he is past it to that extent. He's really out of his depth now. No serious club should touch him. His methods seem terribly dated.
Jose won't be sacked before the summer, or at the very least a few games before the end of the season. Wishful thinking to believe otherwise.
Thought so. The board have messed around this season and wasted numerous chances to sack the fraud . All to save the 20 million or whatever it is
There are other problems for sure but there is no basis whatsoever for keeping him at this point. He has to go.
Again I fully agree and the sad part is that most of the team looks the same. Even "his players" Lukaku,Matic ect ect are even worse than Pogba.
I understand Pogba up to a certain point but he is making it easy for Mourinho to pick him out.
I get delaying the Moyes sacking till April, since it still was the first season and there was always a slim possibility that things might get better when he imprints his ideas on the team, however dumb and delusional that idea might've been.
But Mourinho has been here for 3 seasons now. It's just not working and it won't just start working out of nowhere. This is ridiculous.

Exactly. Some are making out like this isn't his third fecking season here. And also, LvG had an FA Cup Final to play.
good morning, jose will stay at the club at least until february.
they will not fire him just 20 days before 2019.
Remember that if he sacked in 2018 he ll get 20 million.
if he sacked in 2019 its 8 or 9.

I can only think there is some truth to the sale rumours then, that can be the only reason the club are't acting now
The club is a disgrace. Complete and utter disgrace.
Honestly I don't believe it's down to them not wanting to spend another €15-20 million when they invested so much in this project under him already.
I firmly believe they either are still believing he can turn it around, or they're without ideas who can replace him and are not willing to appoint McCarrick (credit for this goes to some other Caftard) till the end of the season.
Miles behind 4th, knew Spurs and Chelsea had won and yet we still play for a draw. That should be a sacking offence by itself let alone the rest of the nonsense, outbursts, crap signings etc he brings. When is this nightmare ever going to end?! We'll probably get enough points v Cardiff and Huddersfield for him to stay for another few months, it's beyond farcical, he'd have been hounded out at any other big club on the planet by now.
Can't argue with that notion, he's been inconsistent this season, but I really can't take "attitude, pashun and dessiah" arguments for real, not when I can see week in-week out how horrible we look and how Pogba's, alongside Martial, always a go to guy to pull of a bit of magic and help us scrap something and that always requires from him to play with more risk, which in our system is equal to a suicide.
