His cult seem to have disappeared and hilariously, some of the main protagonists are even claiming they’ve had enough. I have no doubt they’ll be back once we scrape our next win against some shite like Newcastle etc.

You really are vindictive, aren't you? :lol:
 
Another shite manager in backing-United-manager-to-turn-it-around-without-any-proof-whatsoever shocker! :lol: If anything, him backing the manager should mean we need to get rid.

Garbage from Giggs said:
The former United captain has urged the club's hierarchy to keep Mourinho in charge in order to bring back stability.

"I don't see why changing the manager at this stage will change anything," Giggs told Sky Sports News.

"Everyone knows what a successful manager he's been over the years. I believe that bit of stability we've not had over the years - we need to stick with him.

"But results also need to change. I think we've got the manager, the players to do that."
STABILITY?!? It's pretty obvious Giggs will never become a Guardiola, but that he believes in our current system, tactics and management to give us stability is laughable. He did sit in silence for two years watching the LVG dross so who really gives a shit what he believes.

I think he's hoping Mourinho'll stay on until he's fired from the Wales job. He shagged his brother's wife for a decade, no doubt he'd shag us for another if given the chance.

That can be.

He knows what he's doing and saying. He wants the United job after he's finished with the Wales one, so he's controlling his quotes so that it won't appear like he wants it for himself.

I have been a pro Mourinho but I love the club more. He needs to go before Christmas. We're just delaying the inevitable like we did with LVG and Moyes. We never learn when it's time to say good bye and move on.

We need to aspire to be as ruthless as the likes of Leicester, Fulham and Everton. :nervous:

I think there are too many posters on this thread, who are mostly here to keep telling "Told you" or for name calling..
They might not be the same in real, but on the thread there is too much of dirt throwing on each other
 
Clubs went for him, Sevilla, Roma and Dortmund for example but he declined for reasons that I can't explain. Apparently he regrets it now.

I can't blame him, he is on a big paycheck that PSG is paying, more than Roma, Dortmund or Sevilla, anybody who wants to get him will have to offer him more wages than he already had with PSG.

It's really common for employment workplace, Conte and LVG refused to take a job too.
 
Mourinho is the least of our problems. While I want him out, its not going to fix the major issue at the top in the board where the real rot is and has been for years since before Fergie left.

We need a director of football that is passionate about bringing back the glory days of Fergie or at least try to. Someone who is hell bent on waking a sleeping giant. Then we need the necessary staff, coaches and manager to implement this vision. Players wise we need the people in key positions to be on the same wavelength.

The issue is that one side got personal very quickly, calling people gloryhunters, spoilt, putting in doubt their support for the club while also shitting on the players, some talked about foreign fans or non match goers. A lot of posters won't forget that, it's probably best to forgive and forget but some won't.

The other side have been called "arse lickers", "fanboys" and "you'll feck off once Mourinho leaves"..etc as well though. Were you looking at both sides of arguments or just one ?

Discussions here have been civil war for a year or so. The level of hostility is unreal.
 
I think it's infuriating yet hilarious how legends such as Giggs and Neville are telling us he needs more time :wenger:

Since I jokingly called a poster vindictive because of what you described, you should have your answer.

Well then.

We can still agree the discussions here haven't been health thanks to posters of both sides calling each other names most of times.
 
Just seen the clip from match of the day that man utd have made 33 changes to there team this season just behind Fulham who have already sacked their manager. Jose doesn't have a clue what to do at the club, along with his boring football and management he just needs to go now.
 
This is turning into a nightmare of a season and the longer he stays the longer the nightmare will continue.

Giving more time to Managers like Moyes or Jose is not going to bring back the kind of football that United play. It is the same with managers like Big Sam etc. Jose was brought in to get instant success. Everyone knows his style of football. We have not won the league and the CL. Neither are we going to win either of those in the next two to three years for sure. In the meantime, our style of football is not going to change for sure either simply because it is not the style of Jose to play that kind of football that United used to play.
So to give him more time is ridiculous.
 
He's actually saying in the pre-match press conference that our midfield doesn't have enough aggression to win second balls. Then why do you play Matic and Fellaini instead of Fred and Pereira?? Fecking dinosaur.

The decision to persist with Matic is baffling considering he’s been terrible for a long time now.

Baffling but not surprising. His favouritism of certain players can be tracked back to the moment he signed the contract and changed martial's shirt number from 9 to 11 and made both him and Rashford permanent wingers whilst Zlatan had a free role as a striker; and soon as he went he replaced that hole with Lukaku.
 
I still see posts attacking or scoffing at others because of their stance on this.

You’re not going to change someone’s mind on Jose, especially when you’re being so confrontational about it all.

I can’t wait for him to get sacked, I’ll get a flight to Manchester and drive him to the job centre myself.

But if someone still believes in him, that’s up to that person. And like I always say, it doesn’t make a difference what anyone thinks. Ultimately it’s the match day fans and the Glazers that will decide his fate.

He’s gone end of the season, everyone knows it. I don’t even see the point in this thread anymore either, there isn’t a chance he’s still Utd manager in August.
 
Make sense, paying a new manager who the club is not sure about and Jose’s reported 14 mil isn’t very logical. From a fans perspective it just makes this season that much more miserable.
If he buys 2 players that he won't put in the team, that would look like pennies.
Fred cot £60m plus wages alone. Then Dalot and Bailly have been pretty much dead money.

It's disgraceful. It means the club has fully given up on the season in December after taking season ticket holders cash just a few months ago.
 
I agree our wage structure is absolutely bonkers the last few years. For fairness, each player would have to be looked at on a case by case basis, its not as simple as just blaming Woodward in all instances. I mean Jose had to have Fellaini, he was integral to his future plans. So that played to Fellaini's renegotiating plans and asking for a ridiculous increase.

Woodward had but 2 options there, Refuse Jose and off load Fellaini = not supporting the manager or simply cave in and give Jose / Fellaini what he wants.

Many of our senior players like Valencia, Young, Smalling and Jones seem his preferred go to options and he is also quite happy to offer new deals to keep them at the club and Woodward has to make do the best he can in these situations. I'd also point out as well that players like the 4 listed here were all originally signed by Fergie / Gill and immediately put onto daft bloody contracts to start with and renewing their deals generally just means an increase on what they already have.

The problems in many instances were already there for Woodward to deal with.

By all means blame him for Sanchez mental wages as he was signed under his watch.
Ed controls the purse and Mourinho desire to keep a player should not govern how much wages we offer the guy. After all its not coming out of Jose's paycheck. If Jose feels so strongly, he is free to subsidize out of his own pocket.

Also, Jose preferences are borne out of availability. I doubt Mourinho would have asked for Fellaini if he wasnt already at the club. If better players were coming in, Mourinho would have gladly shipped out those old cargoes.

Failure to sell even unwanted players is fully on Ed as well. Ed cannot on one hand accuse Mourinho of targeting old players and at the same time be justify granting extensions to much older players.

At the least, get rid of some of these old cargo and gamble on some young talent even if not all of them pan out.

Isn't his current contract until 2020? What's the financial difference between sacking him now and at the end of the season?
 
I keep scrolling through this thread daily, hoping for a tweet, anything, to indicate that the club might be getting off their arses and doing something.

This is a bit of an assumption but I think if we sack him now, we need to pay out his entire contract - which I think as you mentioned is until June 2020 or so.

But if it becomes mathematically impossible for us to make top 4, I believe there’s penalty clauses in there (same as LvG and Moyes) which makes it “cheaper” for us to sack him. In the bigger scheme of the things, the amounts doesn’t seem “material” to a club of our size but that’s been the standard modus operandi of Ed post SAF.

True but it seems as though the club is only sanctioning transfers for players they deem will be here past Jose if they buy any at all.

The “top 4 clause” that’s allegedly in his contract for one. Also they may see the top candidate for the job as more of a possibility in the summer.

Not saying I disagree with you, but if they truly don’t see any of the possible replacements currently available as a better option, then what difference does it make who the manager is? The clubs outlook on the season will remain the same.
