Quite disappointed there hasn't actually been any news regarding this. Just a nice 'he will leave at the end of the season' announcement would be perfect

Well, that's always been the question.
I don't think they would care, personally.
But it's a moot point – hopefully. Because “becoming Arsenal” would have a financial impact. We're supposed to be one of the top dogs. That's the selling point – or at the very least a selling point. If we turn into a team that obviously aren't anywhere near the likes of Barca and Bayern, we'd lose money from it.
We can't keep attracting the same level of sponsors, at the same level of lucrativeness, infinitely without being an actual top club in terms of results.
If the Glazers no longer see it as interesting, or worthwhile, to invest what it takes on the football side of things - they'll up and sell the whole thing. That's my theory. I don't think they'll hang around long-term, satisfied with earning a decent penny from increasingly shabbier sponsor deals and whatnot while the team quietly dies a slow death.
I was having a bit of a moan about the current squad and results, but I cannot blame the squad.
DDG is a god.
Smalling, excellent.
Blind is doing a fantastic job as CB, gets forward, disrupts play...
Borthwick-Jackson. Stand up lad and take a bow.
Carrick, one of the best.
Herrera, Mata top notch.
Rooney is on form, Martial spectacular.
And we have Young, Valencia, Januzaj, Shaw...
You telling me that Mourinho cannot get this squad and go on a run. We need patching up here and there and yes in the long run, we probably need a bit of an overhaul, but come on. We've a great squad at the disposal of a decent manager!

We don't know for sure that SAF would choose Giggs. Woodward could still ask their opinions on other options. Apparently SAF thinks Pochettino is very good. That would seem a good suggestion
The football is just one of many priorities. It should be the main point of a football club
The board are scared of making another mistake. Will they bite the bullet now?
If he's going to be sacked before the end of the season it has to be in the next day or so.
Two weeks until the next PL game against Arsenal which has to be won to have even a remote chance of sneaking into the top 4.
In the meantime we have two reasonably "easy" Europa League matches and a relatively "easy" FA Cup match.
Even a managerless United should get through these ties.
If it doesn't happen by Monday night it's not going to happen before the summer.

After touting his candidature for the role from day Moyes was sacked I don't think Fergie would think twice about installing Giggs. On Pochettino I wouldn't have issues but he is i a bubble at Spurs, why leave for a difficult job like this one which could alter the course of his career should he fail? We have to be realistic and target a candidate that is not only good enough but is also gettable. Given that we would be entering the off-season managerless, out of the CL, with the Euros and needing several players we don't want to be spending most of what would be limited time on an unattainable target.
He left a similar bubble at Southampton as soon as a bigger club came in. I think he'd jump at the chance to manage United
Big difference between Southampton and Spurs moreso if one is leaving for an ailing club like ours. He has brought Spurs into the thick of the title race and CL football is virtually guaranteed why leave now?
Yeah, of course it should. In an ideal world.
There's but one half realistic way in which we end up with that as the (apparent) main point, though. You'll find an example of it across town - and I honestly don't know if that's to be prefered at the end of the day. Being some twat's penis extension, or smoke screen, or pipeline into feck-knows-what...I'll take the Glazers over that, if I'm honest.
It needs resetting and rival fans not allowed to vote
he's fecking shit! time's up
Why's there no news about this on twitter to at least give some hope

Because it's not going to happen, sadly. It's the same shit like in December - everyone knows it's overdue, yet it doesn't happen.
After having him sacked three times already, I doubt they'll be anyone willing to report that again without 100% certainty.Why's there no news about this on twitter to at least give some hope
True that.
I agree with this. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see two world class attacking players and maybe a CB but look at what Ranieri is working with at Foxes.
Get us a top flite manager and we will be a top flite club again quickly I would hope.
We don't need a massive overhaul, but whoever comes in need more quality in some positions. Leicester could just as easy get relegated next season. They could be the ultimate one hit wonders.
Because we are Manchester United and they are Spurs
A Spurs on the up, moving to a state of the art stadium. He could be very good for us and I like him. He however has his sights on the big two in Spain.
Doesn't matter, they are a provincial club, we are global
Not one recent tweet in this thread from a y journo suggesting he may get sacked. Sad times.
The board are a bunch of pusdies, they sacked Moyes when we mathematic couldn't make the CL but why wait? Right now we are heading for losing out again but why not sack that turnip now (should have in Jan) and get in Jose to give the players a lift and get back on track.
Basically the board are waiting for failure before reacting...

As someone said they won't dare do it now. The next press conference, just ask him about injuries and leave. Don't give him chance to spout his usual rubbish.
They would argue they are doing the honourable thing and waiting until he's failed to meet the standards written in his contact
Probably, in the meantime turning the club into a laughing stock.
ruined my weekend. The feckwit.
A bit dramatic I think. Laughing stock? No. Mediocre is what we are at the moment
He deserves the sack just for that.
So you don't think other fans aren't laughing at us?
That's why we're a laughing stock. We claim to be one of the biggest clubs in the world yet accept mediocrity by refusing to sack a manager who's doing a shit job and who's already openly admitted his inability to fulfill the fans' expectations. I can't see such thing happening at any of the other huge clubs in the top leagues.
It wouldn't happen, he would have been out on his ear in December. We have not shown morals before when wanting a new manager. Just because we have been lucky with SAF we are suddenly become the definition of virtue.
Yep, that's what pisses me off. I don't want us to have knee-jerk retards like Florentino Perez at the helm, but I don't want spineless cnuts either. Seems like it's either one extreme or the other, there's absolutely no balance.
I reached the stage where im happy that i wont watch United game.due to to other obligations.
Just shows the difference in ambition between a football club actually being there for the football (read Bayern, Barca, Real Madrid) and a football club who use their one time success/glamour to squeeze every last penny available from sponsors and fans (read Man Utd).
Me too. EL won't bother me as I won't stay up late past midnight to watch this shower of shite being served up. Also I will no longer fit my schedule around United matches on weekends. Hurts me to say it but I have become quite apathetic towards our losses.
I'm probably going to plan it so I'm busy during the Europa match. I'm at that stage where I was under Moyes again. Couldn't care less what happens between now and May. Wish the season will just end.
The fact that van Gaal hasn't been sacked yet just shows how much our standards have changed.
This my friend. Last January i was in Tokyo. Did i bother to wake up at 5 to watch a game? No. I was in Sydeny in December. Did i wait until 3 am to watch a game? No. Do i record games when i cannot watch them.live? No.
Now the funny part...i used to do all.of that when Moyes was in charge. It was still mt United.
Just wish the spineless cnuts would feckin' sack him already. It's pathetic.
