I haven't watched MOTD since February.
It's soul destroying watching pundits criticise the shit on a stick we serve, while they wax lyrical about our rivals. The fact that it's true kills me.

The club is in a sad state of affairs. From the owners right down to the players, the majority would be happy if there was a shake up from top-to-bottom and most of them fecked off. That’s depressing.
Because he probably knows its not being sharpened? He's got half a season left.
I wasn’t really talking about Jose that’s a different matter I just mentioned Eddie Howe, I wouldn’t want him anywhere near OT anyway , Moyesy springs to mind as in he’d be way over his head. He’s done a fantastic job at Bournemouth but sitting in the dugout for Utd ? No thank you.
About time you seen the light.
Cancelled my subscription last month, so this will be the last month I’ll be paying to watch United under Mourinho. It’s about £40, and far from worth it these days. Will probably catch most games on streams as I can’t seem to give it up, but I’m sure it’ll be easier to just switch off games like the one today. I’m not really entertained by United nowadays, which is quite sad.
Not many clubs went past Jose's 3rd season shit. Maybe we will and who knows he will get his best on 4th, 5th and 6th.
But, seriously though, about his player recruitment, if you really look into it, you can see that his recruitment since Madrid days were pretty much dire. Bought players then never played some for whatever agenda he had with said players for a long time or just sold them quickly next season.
He is a master at wasting money like that.

Mate, I dont really like football anymore haha!
I loved the World Cup as I found watching football as a complete neutral on the big stage to be really refreshing. I dont watch MOTD anymore (I dont need to see City and Pool sticking 3+ goals in a week and racking up points and listen to pundits slate what we have become).
Enjoyed the WC for the same reason.
It has been a sad time. I was quite optimistic at the start of last season. We started well and did play some good football. 4-0 against West Ham, Everton, Swansea and some other big wins early on as well. Then it has all gone down and I can't bother to post a lot here anymore. Mourinho needs to go and I have been thinking that since the middle of last season. I think when City did beat us at Old Trafford it really killed us. We had a good chance in the game, but Mourinhos tactics ruined us no doubt in that game.
He is tactically just not good enough anymore. Also he is terrible at developing teams. He gives team a short term boost and then things decline after a few seasons.
Seeing Pep Guardiola totally destroying the league with City hurt a lot too. They have pretty much won the leaugue already and the only team that can stop them is Liverpool so I even want them to win right now. It is torture. At least under Moyes we did have contact with teams up to christmas being two points behind Liverpool at new year and less than 10 points behind City. This season we are fecked already and I try not to look at the table.

I have always been a big Jose fan. But if the players are quote "showing no heart" then that's down to him. And at a club like United it should be a sackable offence after two and a half years.
On a weekend where City destroyed West Ham away (where we were hammered), Liverpool won comfortably away and Spurs showed great form to beat Chelsea, it just shows how far we have fallen to draw at home to a bang average Palace without a fight - and for it not to be a surprise.
It's unacceptable - and even more so if the board don't act. Unless scraping 4th (also unacceptable) is the new norm and we/they are happy being 'specialists in failure'.

Now, in Woodward's mind, he's probably thinking:
1. Bring in a new manager now and he might not make top 4 anyway. The new manager will probably want to spend money and bring in an entire new group of players.
2. Keep Jose and he may or may not make top 4, which is all that matters, and sack him when the condition is met to skip the compensation for firing him.
It's frustrating as feck for any sane fans, but remember all he cares about is playing safe financially.
Another one bites the dust.
Ffs, you and CA1 are literally two sides of the same coin. Both of you are blinkered to different points of view
Did you even bother to read my post, or look at my posting history, or just you know, check which option I voted for on this very fecking thread months ago? I'm not a Jose fan at all. I want him gone from the club, and there are fecking plenty of matchgoing Utd fans, both home and away who feel likewise, but the difference between us and you keyboard warriors who talk a good game but not much else, is that we are in a position to actually try and change the game in our favour - Newcastle being the perfect example. If it was up to you, you'd have wanted us to boo the team, and what would that have achieved? Jose being sacked, and then what? Seriously, what difference would be made if Jose was gone? We're nowhere near the league, and we aren't winning the CL. Remember when you said you were boycotting the club cos LvG was still there and that Jose was going to right his wrongs? How did that turn out for you?
Above all else, I want to see Utd win. I support Utd. Not Jose, not Woodward, not the fecking Glazers. United.
For what it's worth I agree with you.
Hard to disagree with anything that guy said. It is taking the piss that so many people travel and pay to watch that kind of performance and then get bullshit platitudes like “we have to do better”. They’re all stealing a living and it’s the match goers that are getting robbed blind going to these games. I can’t even imagine what it must be take to travel to Europe, see a performance like that and not start a fecking riot.
Would you have written off a young Alex Ferguson coming from Aberdeen back in the day? Eddie Howe plays a very impressive brand of football and perhaps the solution is in this young english manager with Carrick and Mckenna plus perhaps Rio/Scholes as part of the team. We need a DoF and a clear direction of where we want to go and how to reach that.
Almost 3 goals per game.
Luckhurst finally seems to be seeing the light.
Its always these games we struggle in.
We're not capable of really putting pressure on these midtable clubs. It just seems we're not really enjoying playing and working hard.
A lot of "I did just enough" attitudes. We need some fresh air.

Southampton have had more attempts at goal this season than us. There is no way on earth this set of players couldn’t at least improve on that under a different manager?
Come on..
Ferguson has won plenty at Aberdeen including beating Real Madrid in a European final. What a bizzare comparison.
Ferguson didn't just play the right way. He was a winner. Long before he joined United
Watching the post mach press conference, he looks like a dead man walking. I can't believe we'll wait til the end of the season because of money.
I thought he would be a Cantona like figure for us.. a damaged individual and a damaged club creating something special.
I was very wrong. Sir Bobby was right all along.
I still see Jose as Chelsea manager. Perhaps he does too and is destroying Utd while taking a massive paycheck.
Out of spite. Or for lulz.
Would be one of the greatest wums of all time if he did that and would cement himself as a genuine Chelsea legend.

Its true. Is Jose our only problem? No chance. Is our team capable of challenging for the title? Definitely not.
Would a different manager get better results from this group and have us higher than 7/8th? Definitely.
It's done. It's like a loveless marriage that's one argument away from divorce papers.
I think that it was lost in translation but Mourinho has a massive contract, it's not that easy to pull the trigger. It will require some solid cojones.

There were some on here complaining that his extension wasn't long enough, when he signed it
Bayern Munich would've sacked him already. Tonight or tomorrow at the latest. They quickly disposed of 3 time CL winner Ancelotti when the results went south. Another season wasted because board not acting quickly enough to rescue something from the season.
As would Real, Barca, Chelsea, City, PSG and any other semi-competitive team. This would simply be unacceptable. To put it into perspective, we have one more point than a Real Madrid being managed by a caretaker manager.
When you have the likes of Gary Neville with his faux-outrage at clubs not backing their managers (having brought his Valencia side to their knees) and with our history of allowing mediocrity to fester over the past 6 years this is the outcome.
I’m not sure that’s entirely true when you see how we’ve thrown money about under his guidance. Yes this club needs to be ran like a buisness, it needs to make lots of money and the best way to do that is win and look good doing it. It also helps to bring in shiny players.
The whole brand of the club is based on an idea of success and being something more than your average big club. Simply scraping 4th is not going to keep the money rolling in. Within that we have to bring in marketable and talented investments for the squad. Spending 65mil on Maguire isn’t going to draw the attention United needs but if Varane was 65mil that would be seen as a great investment as he is talented, young and a globally recognisable name. This is the buisness model of United.
He will go very soon I think. They dropped more points today
Sometimes the tough descions need to be made for the good of the club , actually there's no tough decision anymore. We've made our worst start to PL campaign in 28 years . Every week we hit a new low . Last time it was negative GD now we have creating less chances than all teams except Southampton amongst others.. the season is already finished in my eyes. Get an interim manager to steady the ship whoever it is Carrick, nicky butt or whoever and let them steady the ship whilst we analyze the managerial situation in the summer and prepare a DOF appoitment as well. Enough is enough there's nothing to gain with Mourinnho
He’s taking the piss mate. He’s a Liverpool supporter that’s why he said “Jose in”, and he’s being sarcastic with the comparisons with Klopp or Pochettino because dickheads on redcafe are quick to point to Mourinho winning two trash cups here and act like because of that he’s doing better than them other managers despite them playing better football and making palpable progress with their teams.
feck Mourinho and anybody that loves him.
There was already a comment by Uli that they will think about the coaching situation.
ffs how many times has he pretended to boycott United?
I think you are right here. Ed will wait until top 4 is lost.
