I think you're probably missing a wider point about the clubs going in opposite directions
Mourinho had a chance, and still does, as long as things aren't untenable with Pogba. The football might be bad, the results might be fluctuating but as long as we could get into top four, we'd have been okay.
With that stupid captaincy stunt, he's effectively taken the bait and made it a 'me or him' game. And there's only one winner in that battle.

Lukaku and Fellaini aside, not really. It’s amazing what a bit of training and movement would change.
He scores bags of goals with proper supply and is good enough to link with others. We will may be add someone alongside to play with him but don't think any other team will be buying him and returning our huge investment or we'd be selling for low offers. The way Martinez used him he is still a goal machine.
I'd imagine if Zidane comes here hypothetically he'd still play him, when he stuck with benzema for so long lukaku might prove more useful.
True, however with the outrageous budget we have im pretty sure he'll work something out after a couple of windows. Whoever the new coach is, let's give him the jan window first and the the summer to overhaul the side.
The fact that they aren't Mourinho is enough as far as I am concerned. The first thing we need to do is sack him regardless of whether there is a long term replacement available. If there isn't, then you need someone to take over in the interim, and they would be the first two in line. Not an ideal situation, but it is better than continuing on with a manager who we know is going to be sacked at some point. Who knows, maybe one of them ends up doing a brilliant job. What I do know is we sure as hell are not going to win anything with Mourinho still in charge.
If Zidane is available they must act now before someone else snaps him up, making the same mistake we did with Pep. I'm not sure how much he could do with the players we currently have, but I'm sure he'd play more attacking football and have a chance of attracting players better that Moaninho come transfer time.
All roads lead to the sacking of Mourinho.
Oh are they? You fecking know this how Mystic Meg? We have been in crisis for 6 years and still won more than that lot. Lets wait until May shall we?
Blind optimism is not going to turn Phil Jones into the next Jaap Stam. United’s my team so I’ll support but I won’t pretend that Jesse Lingard is bending it like Beckham.
Be honest besides De Gea how many of our players would get near any of United’s great sides?
Wes Brown was a better centre back than anyone we’ve got right now & he was forced to play as a full back cos we had better back then. Thats just one of many examples.
Young, Darmian, Rashford, Bailly, Jones
, Smalling for starters. Even a guy like Sanchez who keeps losing the ball would drive him nutsAre you preaching patience in a forum? That's bold!
All kidding aside, I agree that whoever comes in will need some time to get the funk out of the air. I can't see Mourinho turning it around, 3rd season curse or not, especially with the way it's been going with Pogba who is a big influence on the team. I think the press can be so dramatic and take a lot of liberties with the truth, but now I can smell the fire and this team looks to be in a crisis.
That and the amount of cnuts that support United
Sacking him will cost us huge compensation because of that new contract, only can see him gone if top 4 is gone.
Which is my biggest criticism of Woodward and the owners. They would rather throw a season down the drain. For all the money they spent on the squad, saving money on this negates all that.
Save the season.
We're not actually good defensively under Jose anyway
It's inevitable. We're talking about what's next now, so we get past this point.
Can you guess what it is yet?
We take the lead against Derby, we have got everything we need, but can't see it out over 90 min. Same thing happened recently against Wolves. We got two goals against Brighton, still wasn't enough to get anything out from the game. Of course it's fun and easy on the eye to score multiple goals, but not necessary. Score one, maybe two and get it over the line. That is classic Mourinho, but not happening.
I think if I am brutally honest Pogba and his big fecking mouth are the issue. Jose is far from blameless but a CEO who wont back a title winning manager with the players he wants and allows big time charlies to run their mouths with impunity then its a recipe for disaster/.
I sincerely hope you're right
I sincerely hope you are normally more rational.
Please don't start with this "proper supply" lame excuse. He got feck loads of chances this season and has been as unclinical as ever.
His movement is rubbish, he's clumsy with the ball as hell, crap holding up and first touch, simply a poacher that's not even clinical enough.
Can you see the likes of Pep or Klopp wanting him near his team ?
The next manager will pull the trigger on him. Zidane had Benzema who was supporting Ronaldo scoring goals, and Benzema is far better technical than Rom, can get past players and can actually pass.
Mourinho is the only manager who can endure the likes of Lukaku leading his team.
This is where I'm at as well at the moment. We can't seem to get a hold of a single player without any fault in his game.
Classic Mourinho means feck all, this shit doesn't work anymore. You need to kill team's spirit by playing football and threatening them to score, not by holding on to 1 goal leads. How many points have we lost since last season by trying to protect a ridiculous lead, obtained often by luck ?
every player has a fault in his game, wtf are you on about?
Can he turn results around? Yes he can. Can he turn tactics around and get the beat out of this bunch ,Nah.
Just signed a new contract, we will stick to gotta give time and support to manager line until top 4 is gone. We have a reactive board not a proactive one.
Avoided this thread but I’m on the bandwagon now. Hello, fellow travelers. I hope we don’t have to wait long to get to our destination.
No. Mou may be past it, but Wenger isn't any better
Even Siri has an opinion these days.
I think this is a valid point.
I wasn't for ousting Jose but it's become clear that there is so much work needing to be done. And after tonight - a home game against a Championship side where we fielded a very strong line up and lost - I'm convinced his time's up. Our problems go way beyond that of the manager, but those which our manager can oversee are now beyond Jose.
It's a shame - it could have been very good, and there were real signs of progress in his first season and the beginning of last. But it's soured unbelievably since the turn of the year. We've regressed massively. Maybe losing Ibra didn't help Jose's relationship with the squad. Maybe Sanchez unsettled the very core of what was working. Maybe Jose should have been backed again this summer.
Ultimately it doesn't matter how we've ended up here, but more so that we're here at all. And - sadly - Jose doesn't look capable of fixing this sinking ship.
Yeah your right mate we don't have a team good enough to not get completely dominated by derby at home.
Very late man.
No.
No doubt we'll wait until top 4 is gone to finally put everyone out of their misery, why we'd do this when things are still more than salvageable I don't know, but that seems to be the way it works.
Meh. We drew with an impressive Wolves after a long Eurotrip and our second team got knocked out of a crappy distraction competition.
Doesn't change anything. Still the right man.

Where is Avram Grant?
However much it is, we just need to pay it and move on it. Better than losing out on top four.
