We're not going 8 months without a manager.

Not obvious to me. The reports I've seen suggest he's not coming.
I think we should just have a caretaker and hire a DOF asap. Then take our time and choose the best fit for the club.
Not defending him and I wholeheartedly don't agree with his philosophies but if you bring someone in to do a job and then you don't like they way they do the job, you're an absolute dickhead for not letting them do the job the way they do it best.
I can't even tell if you're being serious anymore. You know sackings aren't just done by word of mouth. It also has to be put into writing ie a formal letter. Do you also think contracts are made by handshake?
If ever a good time to sack him, that was it.
We have to wait for the next appointments and see whether they bring the DOF. That's all that matters for us really.
Got the same feeling. Two big names in the managerial world couldn't make it work, why would a new manager do it any better? Mourinho has to go I'm not arguing that but our problems go so much deeper than just him.
I think the players would love him at least.
Not one ounce of sympathy for Mourinho but feel leaks show a board that couldn't run a tap.
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
Leave my delusions alone!
You can change the manager, but this will not change the way the club is run and functions. I agree with Gary Neville's comments that the club is being run by those who have no knowledge of how to maintain and run a successful football club.
United still aren't good at this. Changing managers, I mean. Always seems to be a leak from somewhere.
Agreed. We really have fecked up with the appointments in the post Sir Alex era, haven't we.
To be fair, that’s irrelevant if they are not winning.
Ed, just have a fecking plan if this is happening! A well thought out one..
BwaaahaAaa sorry mate. My bad. I'm a fecking idiot. I thought you were talking about the not so special one.
Fml I need sleep.Yeah agree with that, I still remember that away performance in Sevilla as in one of the worst I have ever seen us produce in Europe and then we produced the same at home. Also he dropped Pogba for these games too which probably started the feud they had.
If the new manager doesnt win the league in 2 years he'll be gone
RINSE AND REPEAT
RINSE AND REPEAT
We'll be in the same situation two years down the line if we select our next managerial appointment from the "who's available right now list". Plus, it's not fair on the new incoming manager to expect them to sort out the turmoil. There needs to be a grace period of some sort while we consolidate and plan properly.
What if we bring someone in next week in a rush then decide to go ahead with the DOF and the new manager doesn't like it? There's too much to sort out, we have to wait. Chelsea have done it before now and been fine, Rafa even won the Europa League!
I wish that was only our problem. It's not.
Do Carrick and McKenna go to? If we're getting someone new, you'd hope they're bringing in their own team.
The more I think about it and listen to Neville the more I find myself agreeing with him. The club is a joke at the minute and the buck doesn't stop with jose in that aspect. He will likely go and we'll get a new shiny toy, only to realise that they're not magical and can't turn the club around quickly with all the rubbish that surrounds it.
the feeling disconnected with the current Manchester united thread rings truer than ever for me.
Jose certainly hasn't helped himself, but I think hes one of the only men in world football who can put up with the amount of flack the united manager gets from the board, press, fans etc.

Yeah it sucks that yet again a managerial sacking leaks out, even though everyone knows it’s going to happen anyway. I’m sure the payoff will comfort him though. It’s not all his fault obviously... An indecisive board above him and some questionable players under him are of concern as well.
I’ve strongly suspected that Rui Faria leaving may not have been Farias or Joses wishes entirely. It wouldn’t surprise me if something like Faria had argued over promises with the board which they weren’t going to make and he said a thing the board didn’t like, and therefore got rid of him which set the ball in motion for a summer of Jose Mourinho looking suicidal and wanting out.
I’m somewhat excited to see who the new guy is though.

If the board leaked it. Could be jose.
Impossible to tell who's serious and who's not anymore.
How about Keano? I know he will definitely burn it down and start again. Keano and Pogba...
Happy if true but I hope on average we don't act like scumbags and boo him and give him a good send off. He really wantwd to succeed here.
Couldn't agree with him more. An absolute shame what's going on with the club. Wish we could sack the entire board and get some sensible people in.
At first. If he doesn't get results they'll turn on him eventually. Lovability is a rather fickle quality in this context.
Agreed, but it’s an improvement in one area at least.
That’s not the actual problem here though is it?
The Mirror report clearly says it's United senior figures.
Might as well get Malcolm Tucker in.
I’m fecking fed up of this club lurching from one feck up to another. Regardless what anyone thinks of Jose this is a ludicrous way to handle any situation. Woodward can feck right off too, nowt will change until he goes. Absolute moon unit.
You sir, have won redcafe today. We all need a laugh in these dark times.
Unless, you were being serious
Absolute fecking circus mate!Agreed. We really have fecked up with the appointments in the post Sir Alex era, haven't we.
Is there a chance Jose won't be on the touchline tomorrow then? Why would his agent be talking to Woodward otherwise?
Correct me if I’m wrong here but it’s possible that that’s not actually true. I mean a newspaper wouldn’t exaggerate their stories in any way would they.
One thing I'll love once Mourinho is gone is we'll get rid of this trash accusations for any poster who defends his club manager, unless in 2 years people were start saying "Zidane fanboys".
Don't understand your point. Care to ellaborate ?
