I would seriously take Mike Bassett instead this imposter.

Liverpool fans worship their managers though unless it’s Hodgson. United fans are actually realistic (apart from a tiny amount of fans who don’t want us to sack Jose because it makes us ‘like Chelsea’
)Here ya go chicken https://www.redcafe.net/threads/mourinho-set-to-sign-contract-extension-done.435661/.
I have one post in there and I said “fantastic”. I feel sick
At least I’m not one of the many in here that just want to be right on the internet and I could adjust my opinion based on current circumstances rather than blind arrogance.
Personally I remember being completely mad about the extension but didn't post about it as everyone seemed so merry. Never like Mourinho since Day 1

I don’t know what I was thinking
@Sassy Colin I don't really need to justify anything, Moyes wasn't a young manager and he isn't close to be like Favre or Bielsa. I don't even know why you would take a sentence out of context like that.

You sure, wait til we play Young Kids this week and he will back to being fickle.
Hurts me saying it but our supporters are becoming a parody of lfc fans.
What? Were you enjoying watching us play under Van Gaal?
Christ these no voters are a stubborn bunch. Please tell me why 30% want Mourinho to carry on.
Just seeing that I didn't post in the renewal thread. I wasn't pleased but knew if I said it, I would get hounded out. 
I didn’t like our football but at least Van Gaal had a clear tactical plan. What is Jose’s tactics or plan?
We need to find our DT
I'm just trying to lighten the mood?
Don't mention Moyes then, otherwise you will only light fire.
Apologize for not spotting it though.
When Mourinho talks, you get the impression he is telling people that because he's won trophies before, none of the problems at the club have anything to do with him. Look at how many times he's insisted he'd beaten Man Utd in important games?
He sees himself as a completely separate entity from the club. Have you ever heard Mourinho refer to the club as we? People might say things like that don't matter but they absolutely do. To him, the successes belong to him and the failures belongs to the club. Fergie always talked about the club as part of his identity, he never separated the club from himself.
As you said we should not stand for that.
Mourinho has been in self preservation mode as soon as it became apparent we weren't competing for the title right from his first season.
We are just another club to Mourinho. He doesn't give a single feck about our ethos. We are just a tool to further his legacy in his mind. We owe him nothing.
The only thing that would boost morale of the club is to sack him today. Sack him today...... Give the whole club a lift
I agree, I just think it’s linked to a clause whereby we can get rid of him with a lower pay off
It's quite unbelievable, looking back now, that that thread happened this year.Just seeing that I didn't post in the renewal thread. I wasn't pleased but knew if I said it, I would get hounded out.
And we will have more managers to chose from in the summer.We can’t sack him now and appoint Carrick as interim manager for the next 6 months,especially not when we are still in the CL and the FA Cup.An experienced manager like Jose can set us up in a better way in Europe....
Talk about value for money.
That is why people think Pochettino is do such a great job, me included. Spurs shouldn't be competing with the top five on their resources, but do every season, pushing way above their weight. Also shows what a good job Eddie Howe is doing at Bournemouth, & an appalling one Mourinho is doing.
That's normal in football managers hence why even the best become obsolete. There are very few people like saf
I'd just say it shows that United's players are overpaid for what they deliver. It leaves space for anti-Ed/pro-Mou interpretation as well, as some posters here surely prefer.
That is a big part of the problem but when pep signed bravo and he failed, the club backed him with money to buy ederson.
When Jose bought centerbacks and they didn’t do well, a new one was out of the question.
They have more faith in pep because they put more thought into who they hired. Our club in the worst run big club and it’s all falling apart at the moment
True so let’s sign more players on big wages. Solves absolutely nothing! Maybe you should think of another solution to our problem, because Ronaldo on £400k is not going to fix this.
That Newcastle-win really was the worst fecking thing that could've happenened. It took most of the pressure off him and now we're definitely stuck with him till the end of the season.
We've dropped 18 points from the first 39, if that were replicated throughout the rest of the season we'd finish with 60.
That is right which is why it was madness to give him that extension
Gary Neville. I keep saying it. He screwed the fans over. I respect his heart might have been in the right place but you drove the fans to back the manager and worry about board problems which is another issue for another day.
And yet fans at the stadium support him like he has achieved so much for us. Its infuriating. The club is so much bigger than he'll ever be.
It was a combination of him and the fans. There's nothing wrong with not booing the manager, but to proudly back him like he deserves it? At this point we all know Woody is a pussy. He got scared off by the pressure from the media and fans. I'm sick of this being the 3rd time this has happened to us. I'm sick of fans being stubborn and backing something that is clearly setting the club back.
City bought Bravo for £17 million whilst the centre backs we signed costed in excess of £60 million. After Guardiola decided he doesn't want Hart they really needed 2 Goalkeepers and bravo is still on their books as a back up. And that's just scratching the surface of some badly needed context in this overused comparison.
The fact we scraped a home win against one of the worst sides in the league and people on here were ecstatic tells you everything really.
It doesn't work though. You are comparing one failure at a given position that was replaced once, while Mourinho had two failures at one position and wanted to fix it a third time with a player that provided zero guarantee. It's a false equivalence.
The reality is that Guardiola hasn't failed multiple times on the same positions, City's signings are actually interesting because the players that they brought for the first XI have for the majority been successes, the squad players have been decent squad players. You could say that Nolito, Bravo and Gundogan were supposed to be bigger contributors but City didn't bring Sanchez, Jorginho or Fred.
Edit: There is a bad pattern at United under Mourinho.
Bailly->Lindelof-> someone else
Ibrahimovic->Lukaku-> someone else
Mkhitaryan->Sanchez-> someone else
You can't have that type of turnover on a yearly a basis.
And what if Jose succeeds?; at best, we'd be an unlovable winning machine featuring Terminator-like drones. Sure, the trophies would be great but, for many of us, United's (historical) winning of cups and titles isn't the reason why we support the club...even in the times when United won few things while Liverpool bored and backpassed their way to numerous Leagues and European Cups, we still gained many new fans; why? because our teams often dared to play exciting and imaginative football, football with elan and flair. So, for plenty of supporters, getting back on top isn't everything (as important as that certainly is) - bragging rights and profit margins are minor things compared to the soul of a club.
We had the club's soul sold from under us when the money men recruited gun-for-hire Mourinho; nothing says more about them than that cold and utterly pragmatic decision, and it marked us out as the business that we are...hopefully, now that he's firing blanks, we'll soon get a little of our club back.

Moyes, Van Gaal or Mourinho. You have to pick one, who would it be ?
Best post I’ve read on here in ages.
I’ll agree with that, but I’ve never been more bored watching United than I was under LvG.
Great post. Bolded bit has been my thought for months. We sold our soul for a quick fix. Mourinho is the complete opposite of a Manchester United manager.
Nah it's not that our fans flip flop, it's that Jose In fans hide when results go bad. One win and they are out shiting on about a good run of form. Most fans who wanted him gone maintained that point of view during our lucky wins over the past few months.
And that is exactly what they were. Luck.
