The Mourinho Thread: Should he stay or go? | Sacked

[All 3 United]

Sorry to point out the obvious but if we sack Jose. Only one man picks his replacement. And this person happens to be a complete and utter idiot.

Sorry but there is little point sacking managers, while Woodward is still sat in his chair.

Stick with Jose. He will sort this out but in case he doesn’t get shut or demote Woodward.

 

[Rash Decision]

The fact he doesn't coach attacking, yet we set up defensively, yet cannot defend. What are the coaches doing?

Probably still patting themselves on the back for that corner routine against Watford.

 

[Rash Decision]

The key difference being that they had won the title the season before. That was the only reason they held on, as even a club as classless as Chelsea couldn't do it earlier.

Yeah probably so. Mourinho has done nothing at Utd to deserve much loyalty.

 

[devilish]

Two wrongs don't make a right fella.

You're right but if anyone ever deserved such public humiliation then its him.

 

[NJM78]

Hopefully our board will learn from Chelsea's experience and act before it gets that bad. Then again Chelsea of all clubs actually waited till they were 16th before sacking him.

We could be around 16th ourselves by mid November. We have to play Chelsea and City away before then.
I honestly think if we lose on Tuesday in CL. He wont be there to manage Newcastle game.

Born in 80, so don't remember much, but used to watch what i could
Didn't affect me as much, though. Now i'm getting really annoyed and frustrated.

I remember the 80's, we were rubbish...but usually entertaining (apart from Dave Sextons era pre 81)

 

[Patrick08]

Does he do it on purpose to get compensation and quick money? How can you just take out most creative player on the pitch when chasing the game just because pogba may be shit defensively.

 

[Random Task]

tell me guys, this is worse than Moyse season, am I right?

We have the same amount of points this season as we did at the same stage under Moyes during his tenure.

So technically Jose is on par with Moyes. Such a sad indictment.

 

[C3Pique]

What %age was the LVG sackometer at when he got fired into the sun?

 

[Rash Decision]

Hope that will be the case regardless.

The fact he doesn't coach attacking, yet we set up defensively, yet cannot defend. What are the coaches doing?

The reason being just because you play with 5 defenders and 3 CM doesnt mean you will be better defensively. That's why just trying to defend your box doesnt improve defense. Saw against Sevilla and saw today.

 

[Hamadovich86]

Season, FFS?, I was thinking next week

History tells us that Woodward only sacks managers when CL qualification is impossible, I can totally see him waiting until then. I can see it happening as early as next week too but I just dont know it will happen.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Has there been any reports of us sacking him?

Even sadder, we probably played better football at that stage of the season under Moyes! feck.

This... pre xmas of LVG's last season was ten times worse than this..it was appalling and yet he made it to the end of the season.

 

[Jazz]

You're very optimistic
Seriously can't wait for all this drama to end.

 

[Chairman Steve]

This Utd board is the equivalent of a cuckolded husband who regularly catches his wife in bed with another man, and sticks with her thinking they can work it out.

 

[goin4glory]

Have defended him constantly but changed my vote. I don't see any way he can stop the rot given his propensity for falling out with everyone. If Woodward waits until we're guaranteed to not make top 4 before sacking him for some pathetic pay off then he should be removed entirely as well. Only chance we have of top 4 is if he's sacked immediately.

 

[SirAF]

Has there been any reports of us sacking him?

No.

 

[Heinzesight]

You hope we bring someone else or a caretaker in the hope of maybe going on a CL run...trouble is Jose will probably sabotage the group games like he did today.

 

[Rash Decision]

Has there been any reports of us sacking him?

I've been hanging out on /r/reddevils to check but nothing reliable so far.

 

[Owngoalscorer]

Last seen at St Pancras getting on a train for Milan... if only

 

[T00lsh3d]

Look, let there be no mistake, Jose wants the club to sack him with a decent payoff. He’s not interested in turning it around.
Woodwork knows this and is desperate to avoid giving him the payoff, which presumably means sacking him when the season is so poor that it voids some of the reimbursement.

 

[MoBeats]

Changed my vote from yes to yes again, that's how much I want him gone

He has to cut his losses. Even if it's 20 million down the drain the impact of him staying is potentially incalculable.

BEIN have reported that we have made initial contact with Zidane. This is BEIN though so take it with a salt cellar full of salt.

Yeah me too! I can’t remember being so pissed off by football! I wasn’t as worried in the moyes era because I had a feeling he would be sacked but I can’t see Mourinho getting the same treatment. I do think we also need to sell Pogba too though

 

[SirAF]

*Sighs*...

I doubt this is credible, but I’m just throwing you a bone

 

[amolbhatia50k]

We’ve not had an attacking manager since sir Alex retired, it’s mind boggling. Can we please get an attack minded manager in please. I’m sick and tired of watching boring football, and being outplayed by absolutely everyone.

That's actually true and very very weird.

[Heinzesight]

Jose’s quote of: “If they sent me away, do you have any idea how much money they would have to give me?!” really fecked me off after the Burnley match (I think)...but now it’s clear what a cheeky, calculated twat he was being.

Just sack him off and give it to McCarrick til the end of the season.

Bein is credible with french news

He actually said that?

So we are in a Chelsea/Conte situation, except we haven't got a new manager looking on.

 

[Fully Fledged]

There should to be a HELL YES so we can show how much we want him gone.

I will state that I never wanted him in the first place. I always thought he was toxic but when he came I got behind the appointment and hoped he'd do well. All the time waiting for the meltdown to happen. waiting for the divisions in the dressing room. I hoped for the best but knew this would happen.

 

[AKDevil]

Please. I beg. Sack this clown.

 

[Jazz]

He actually said that?

Yep.... did it in a joking sort of tone........knew exactly what he was doing.

I hope you're right. Then again I'd hope the "conversations" with Zidane would have gone beyond initial by now!
