No I was being serious. And I doubt you did tbf. Don’t throw a tantrum now that your man might be getting the heave ho.
Shame it's leaked, but it's for the best.
Reading that has put a smile on my face, he’ll get a massive reception tomorrow from the OT crowd and probably a massive send off no matter the result, he just wasn’t the right fit as so many said before he was even appointed.
Now on to the next problem as surely Zidane is going to be appointed as the new manager during the international break. Would rather wait to the summer and have a crack at getting Poch but who knows Zidane must have some serious pulling power and it’ll be intresting to see him build a team.

I'm not too sure about that. He was given plenty to spend and unfortunately the vast majority of his signings so far have been flops. I therefore understand the hesitance of the board to fully back him this summer, especially when the names mooted were Perisic, Willian, Boateng and Alderweireld.
There's a reason why Jose's never lasted too long in any job, even despite spending vast amounts with the likes of Real and Chelsea. He's a short-term manager, and doesn't guarantee you long-term success.
With the other top six managers who have spent big money like Pep and Klopp, you can see their vision and get an inkling of what they're building for the future. Even with managers like Emery and Pochettino, you can see where they're trying to go.
With Jose it was always putting a plaster on a gunshot wound. His short-termism is what has cost the club whilst he's been the manager. I don't think any amount of money would have allowed him to have continued success as he only thought about this season, and never really showed us his philosophy or what he was planning for the future.
I hope and am optimistic that the arrival of a DoF and a forward-thinking manager will allow us once again to compete at the highest level.
Agreed. Potch won't leave midseason and I don't think we'll appoint a new manager until the summer. Not sure if Potch is the right appointment if we do go for him but it could be worse I guess.
That and the fact that there’s not many people in football that say no when Manchester United come calling.
Jesus Christ. When has anyone being sacked every nice news. Do you want us to have a gentleman’s hand shake press run about it. Anyone, hopefully we get the new appointment right.
How do you trump the worst footballing decision in the history of the sport (appointing David Moyes as United manager)?
Sack Jose Mourinho and replace him with Brendan fecking Rogers.

Give it to Carra until the end of the season
Apparently there's a Director of Football being recruited which is great imo. That does suggest this isn't true though because why sack a manager when you're trying to recruit a guy who's responsibilities would include selecting managers?
Well we will never really know if the team Jose envisaged himself building here would have won trophies. However, I do think we'd have been more competitive if the manager gets his own way 100% and he doesn't make constant protests towards the board.
Which would actually be the correct decision. The next appointment is critical, so the club needs to take its time (hopefully get the right DOF in) and then make it for the summer.
Nobody because nobody has spent that much.
Nope. If a manager resigns he loses any money he would get if he was sacked.
I hope we didn't leak this shit. However, I'm not going to pretend I care. Jose has disrespected this club - remember his post-Sevilla talk? He also had no empathy for LVG, who was his friend and mentor. Therefore, he needs to accept his karma.
You’re the one that quoted me with negative energy. All I did was say I don’t think we will replace him with another manager.
We won't rush in with Zidane. It would be a disaster to do so.
I’ve worked in offices yeah. I’ve never worked at a football club sacking a world famous individual but I have my doubts the intern or hundreds of employees would know before the man being sacked. What paperwork needs done before he’s sacked? You think Woodward is going to present him with a letter?
There are quite a few I would rather have than Poch. Zidane even.
Apologies.
Pretty sure we’d just give him a signing on bonus to replace it.
I suppose so. Let's be honest, Jose and his pragmatic "first, we must not concede" football was never the right match for Manchester United. It just doesn't fit with the values of our club.
What a fecking joke from the club. Seriously fecked me off that. Neville is raging and I am too, timing of this if true is absolutely fecking farcical.
It’s obvious it’s Zidane who’s coming in. We’ll be in the same situation next year.
I’m on a wind up man, just can’t believe so many people get worked up about how we handled the sacking of the man who had no class himself to begin with and disrespected the club left, right, centre.
Give it Stevie G. He can be the next Matt Busby.
Why would they do that? Am I missing something?
Brendan Rogers to be a legend. Time will tell
He already is a legend, at Liverpool.
Everyone can read Redcafe.
At the moment we're a destroyer of managerial reputations. You'd have to be mental to leave a cushy job for us.
Exactly. I thought he was gonna come back with Pep
Who?
Genuinely interested, I'd want the likes of Klopp and Pep over those, but that's never happening.
Jose is a manager who demands hundreds of millions every summer then demands a year later that 6 of his 7 signings from a year ago must be sold. At Chelsea he could get away with being a spoiled brat as they had the kind of funds to bow to his demands.
There's no such thing as a proper manager who ridicules his squad after being given hundreds of millions to overhaul the team. His Ego became too big overtime for him to stay successful and his methods would suit a team like Newcastle who would put up with that type of football if it meant a top 6 finish. You'd wonder did he down tools on purpose over the summer to pick up his massive severance and head back to the sun.
Pochettino really is the answer. If we can't get him then Zidane will more than do at least to remove the dark clouds and keep the Frenchies in the team happy

Because @GlastonSpur has sent him a brochure of their shiny new stadium, along with a model of what he has to look forward to, made out of matchsticks.
Absolutely stupid decision, if I was Jose I’d stay in the hotel bar.
I sure wouldn’t if it was me.
A bit like when City put David James up front
We can’t they’re fecking clueless.
You hope
Jesus just watching these again, you have to wonder how he survived an absolute bollocking from the supporters for months on end? This was the end of him here after that Sevilla game
What’s the difference between that and paying a fee to Spurs for him.
Either way we’d have to fork out.
