It's a crazy situation. He wasn't backed, players got the message he isn't backed by the board. Lousy circumstances. I would even call crazy claims Martial is playing a waiting game. All in all pretty awful situation.

All about me me me with this cnut.
...yeah, nah.
The Glazers are to blame for any number of things but since when was not breaking our CB transfer record for a third season in a row a legitimate excuse for failure?
How? DDG! He earned us 14 points or something according to Opta.
Proper meltdown, when he leaves here I'm sure the WWE will be able to find a role for him.
I want him gone now, along with Woodward. Hes clearly lost the confidence of the players and the team are playing scared. Woodward shares the blame by giving stupid contracts out to past it players and upsetting everyone else.
Let's get Zidane in. Every player in this generation grew up idolising him and they will work for him.

Correct. Moyes, LVG, Jose - all symptoms of a poorly run operation. Fergie papered over these cracks that Moyes and LVG left exposed. Mourinho's got plenty of faults but no manager will have the level of success we all want if the owners don't decide that these things matter.
Horseshit.
Or perhaps you are the only fan remaining on the planet who was hoping we’d be entering the last season of moyes’s contract?
When did that happen, remind me?
I guess thats one of the reasons I have turned on him quickly. I always thought he was a classless **** - coaches throwing tantrums, attacks in the press, sticking fingers in peoples eyes... I do not like Jose Mourinho.
But I thought if he righted the ship at United I could stomach him, however 3 years I doubt we are any closer to winning the title now than we have ever been since Fergie left
Agreed, in the 1st half especially the players were giving 100% out there.
I dont think Jose has lost the dressing room, but morale is definitely low.
I think if you're not there or thereabouts in respect of the bare minimum you expect by Xmas, then you look at making changes, with the January window in mind.
I presume our hierarchy will be silently happy with any CL qualification spot.
No manager deserves to be sacked after 3 games unless there is genuine misconduct.
Agreed - this is NOT his last year at Chelsea or Madrid. Maybe our players just don't care at all in the grand scheme and that's a bigger issue but I didn't see them or the manager laying down today.
Surreal comments in the post match conference. We aren't very far away. Clear resemblance to the Chelsea's 2015-16 season.
It is beginning to look that way.
Just to add another perspective - During the 92-93 Premiership under Ferguson, right at the start we lost to Sheffield Wednesday 1-2 and then lost again to Everton 0-3. The next game we drew 1-1 to Ipswich Town. Should we have sacked Ferguson then? Bear in mind, we won that season in the end.
There's a lot of work to be done, for sure but calling for the head of the manager after 3 games is premature. The recent results are bad but not insurmountable. We, as supporters, have a role to play as well. We need to back the club, especially now. Give them the support to get over this bump on the road, the players, the club need the head-space to get out of this hole. Adding more pressure and chaos is not going to help.
We are in a better position than United were during the start 92-93. They only had 1 single point from the first 3 games and they managed to go on from there and achieve their goals. Maybe that should be something we should aspire to than throwing in the towel quickly. We cannot criticise the players for dropping their shoulders when we, as fans, do that all the time.

Luckhurst had the same "more titles than the other 19" quotes, so yeah.
He was pretty dignified in the Sky post-match interview, why the meltdown in front of the rest of the press? What a sausage.
The irony
But who could replace him at this stage?
Unless things improve drastically then I don't see any way he doesn't leave, currently it seems to be a question of when not if. I did think that getting top 4 would have been enough in the board's eyes to save his job, but with all the stories coming out about the Martial tug of war I think he's looking very likely to go.
I've voted yes. I'm not particularly Jose Out but for better or for worse I think it's over for him here. There are a range of factors at play; Jose, the board, the players, blame should go on all sides but Jose isn't taking us to where we want to be so he'll leave sooner rather than later.
he must be smoking trees
Ah, the same old excuse trotted out for not getting rid of Moyes and Van Gaal earlier than we should've, thereby missing out on Guardiola and Klopp, who would've been perfect for us.
Is that tweet taking the piss or did he really say that?
Jesus Christ.
Didn't look good watching Jose arguing with the media.
Think the players looked up for it, or most of them anyway. The first goal was the killer as it put doubts in their minds again and not taking out chances also killed us.
A car full of Toblerone and a barefoot Mourinho to arrive in Dundee by morning.
I am watching it now. Not great.
3 seasons is not a short time and he changed a squad to some degree. Forget the style, supporters have a right to expect results and this time he can't even give that.
