No I was quite clearly saying that it was possible that Woodward didn’t actually do this. But if he did then Mourinho can’t exactly be absolved if all blame.

As much as I really want Mourinho gone, and welcome this news if it's true, to do it like this just shows how gargantually awful this club is run from those at the top, and ideally I would love to see Woodward and the Glazers gone too. IF it's true Mourinho has gone i hope we have that DOF lined up NOW before we put in another manager, for the love of god please. This should of happened in the summer if we weren't going to buy his targets as well, absolute shitshow from top to bottom, the running of this club has gone right to hell.
Sure Pogba's got a new haircut and practicing his dance moves right now.
dancing around like school children who have just learnt their least favourite teacher has got the sack I imagine
fecks sake Steve. I was just about to strip naked in the back garden and pour honey all over myself in celebration but that's put me right off it now.OT: who is really reporting this though? The Mirror, the Daily Star and some publication call 90 Mins is all that I can see so far.
Dont know how to feel about this. On one hand I want Mourinho out, but what if he is right, our players are garbage and the next manager will do even worse. Maybe the grass isn't greener on the other side.
But at the end of the day, no one wants Mourinho here except for a small minority of fans. I doubt even Mourinho wants to be here.

You can feck off with that. Last thing we need is a Chelsea fan coming to spew bitter rubbish for a sacking that has nothing to do with them
Pogba would be ecstatic if it's zidane.
Still angers me that I look isn't our manager
I know. But imagine all the uncertainty, will he be a success? Will he be able to inspire more confidence in our team? Instead of expecting a lousy performance, we suddenly won't know what to expect. Which is more exciting, although not necessarily better mind you.
Conte is better than Mourinho. With some distance. Not a easy personality, but that bs of defensive and attacking football is soundbytes.
Didn't some news about Van Gaal getting sacked in November break out too? And then he had a massive meltdown about it post match?
I'm trying not to get excited about this.

If it means bringing Potch in, which for some reason the world wants, then they'll wait. We can't get this next one wrong because the top 4 isn't getting any easier to achieve. It's worth waiting for to get it right, this season is pretty much a write off anyway.
Why? Because he’s French?
Exactly. And the thought of another bad appointment is fecking horrfying. Which is a distinct possibility, considering who we’re being linked with
Seems like we’re firmly locked in the European managerial merry go round now, where it’ll be a series of flavor of the months in the hope that we stumble on to some genius.
The next appointment is crucial. The club messed up with 3 managers who don't fit the United style. They must not do this again.Exactly. And the thought of another bad appointment is fecking horrfying. Which is a distinct possibility, considering who we’re being linked with
Shit, forgot about that too. I wonder if it's a Woodward or Glazer Special?
Thank feck
Nah, the contract extension was the genuinely stupid part.
If he is sacked, it really makes sense to get a DOF or Technical Director in at the same time as a new manager. 2 week international break to get two big appointments sorted?
Yeah I think that was the whole ‘fat man’ episode but I may be wrong.
Current bookies fav is still Zidane. 2nd fav is Brendan Rodgers. Conte is 3rd.
Bad timing tbh, the fixtures coming up look brutal after Newcastle.
Probably his idol as well.
I respect Conte but I really don’t want him here.
Sack Mourinho, as things are not going to get any worse. Carrick/McKenna can have an initial positive impact on the football team as we have seen this over and over again with other teams. Within that timeframe, a technical director will be appointed (before the end of the year) and a new manager, who hopefully will be in unison about the vision of the football club.
Nobody is defending Moyes here. We're discussing the way he was sacked.
Sacking Jose is the perfect opportunity to restructure the top as well. It has to happen when the new manager comes in.
Rodgers we done fecking lost our minds!
We're not likely to win them with Jose anyway
Identical situation to Moyes and LVG, apparently Woody and the board do not feel obliged to act in a dignified manner when it comes to parting ways with a club employee.
Jose deserves to be sacked, but he does not deserve to be treated with a complete lack of respect.
Doubt it happens unfortunately.
Actually it's great timing. Under Mourinho those fixtures would've been a complete write off and almost certainly ending in humiliation, a new manager should get a response though.
I'm still gutted we didn't get to play Mourinho's Chelsea before he got sacked. Hiddink took over and got a result against us.
Moyes said Ed didn't back him with the players he wanted. LVG said he was bringing in 3rd and 4th choice targets and Jose asked for players publicly and Ed came out and spoke about resale value. 3 managers in a row cannot be the problem. Woodward has a lot to answer for.
I do like the idea of getting the guys from Juve in and if their pick is Conte for manager you've got the back that as at least they've shown they know what they're doing when it comes to running a successful on the pitch football club
This is huge news for the football club. It's the right decision for both parties but I absolute agree with Gary Neville on SkySports, it's the board who should be made accountable for the mess they have provided throughout the last 6 years
The manager is a problem but the board need to be restructured from top to bottom for us to get back to even somewhere close to where we were

Disgraceful. Sad to see what this club has become and the fans rubbing their hands with glee, sorry state of affairs.
If its true of course.
