Probably worded that wrong. I'm not fully in favour of him staying till then cause if this circus carries on we'll be in the bottom half by crimbo. I just don't see the board having the balls to give him his marching orders anytime soon.
How much to get rid?
Around 15m GBP, I believe.
After Sevilla,
Should have been sacked
Or come summer market,
Should have been backed.
I'm terrible at poems.
There's no rhythm whatsoever. Don't try it again.
Yesterday's midfield looked familiar to what a madrid fan posted a few months back, his prized trivote system

Same circus, different club
Hire a plane with a banner.
When you come near the stadium jump out of the plane.

This pretty much sums up how i’m currently thinking. I’m still unhappily in the “give him more time to turn it around” camp, but I’m struggling to see how he fixes it from here. I’m still currently in the give it more time brigade only because there’s nobody else to replace him with who is immediately obvious.
Where was this reported? No wonder jose was laughing about getting sacked
Yeah, I know. We're terribly run, top to bottom.
There's no end in sight, is there. He will be here for quite some time before he's cut loose and by then, we might be down near the relegation zone. Everything opposition fans taunted us with regarding Jose has come true to a tee, its so demoralising.
Remove the 'Or'.
But hang onto it. You'll need it to fend off the droves of swooning suitesses.
But Ed Woodward, a brain he lacked.
I am bad at them too, but atleast let's finish it.
Worst start since 89-90?
Coincidental that that was SAFs lowest ebb after 3 years in the job and then look what happened.
On the basis that there are no obvious alternate candidates out there, and the guy has won us a LC & EL and also got us to an FA Cup final in his two seasons here we may as well give him more time unless we end up mid table.
If Jose is to survive, Pogba needs to go in January I think & a replacement lined up before he is sold.
We can say the manager is an arsehole with boring tactics but so are quite a few of the players being arseholes.
Do we want petulant primadonnas or feeble minded players playing for us?
Whatever his faults, and whether his methods are right or wrong, we know Jose is trying his best for the club. Can the same be said about all the players?
Stick with him (for now)

crowdfund it?

Ok ok so here it goes:
After Sevilla,
Should have been sacked
Come summer market,
Should have been backed
But Ed Woodward,
A brain he lacked
Now our dear United's a mess,
A great return on your stock
But the footballs a mess
All that's left
Is to send Pogback
Along with that
Fat Italian mistress.

Regardless of your poetic talents, you make a very good point. The way United meekly surrendered in the Sevilla game and then in the FA Cup final meant he either should have gone or been backed in the market to try and set things right, what happened was somewhere in between, no use to anyone. Maybe the Board did it that way to force JM's hand and make him resign to keep the cash that would be needed to pay him off. Who knows.
Even if he is punted or resigns, I hope the Board have an idea of who they want to replace him when he goes.
The whole sorry episode is embarrassing and is making United a laughing stock. Mourinho's silly mind games are so childish and stupid, he is almost becoming a caricature of himself, a grotesque parody that is ripping the club apart.
A penny for SAF's thoughts at the moment.
Chelsea waited until December to bin him while their season was totally unsalvageable. No idea why we need to keep waiting. It’s not working and it won’t work with him here either.
Actually it seems like it was 12m - if you believe The Sun.

Do it. We paid that for fecking Darmian, this would be money well spent.
No. He's trying his best for himself and himself only. Get rid. Trying to deflect blame from him to the players yet again is not going to work this time.
Self preservation; Jose’s best trait these days.
Suppose I can understand the complaints regarding Pogba... Who are the other 'quite a few of the players' who are behaving like that?
We need to do some proper succession planning. Is Carrick ready to take over for a month? Who's immediately available, who available at the end of the season? We can't just pull the trigger and hope everything works out.
Rather than money, could we just give him Darmian?
I blame Moyes for the mentality that "our players are shite". For me United have always been about hard working individuals playing as a team, with maybe two or three at the most technically gifted stars. Then Moyes came and said "these players are shite" and a bunch of folk agreed with him rather than admit the truth; "Moyes is shite". Everyone keeps acting like we used to have squads filled with individual stars that could compete one on one with Real or Barca, or even Juve, Inter blah blah blah. Our Rooney-Ronnie-Tevez team was the only one that I can think of which was close to that, and that was a one off squad compared to what we were usually like.
The ‘not yet’ votes keep going up which I find a bit surprising. I admire the defiance if anything else. Personally I think his fate relies on Tuesday’s game. Lose that and both the CL progress plus top four are under massive threat and it will make the money men truly shit themselves.
How many times have United finished in a top 4 position post Ferguson?
United do have the honor of being the club who have wasted the most money in the PL era. That sure beats the 4th place trophy.
He has done this at the last 3 clubs he's been at including us. It's astounding how even now some fans choose to believe that he's trying his best and is merely a victim of the evil club and players around him.
So he is just playing all the hits at this point.
Especially with 2 games against Juventus in succession followed by the away game to Valencia, doesnt look good if we lose on Tuesday night.
Think that might be illegal. I’m all for it if it’s not. That would make a good Netflix series once José is out of a job. “The misadventures of Matteo and Mourinho”
I think we should let Mckenna have the interim role as he has more experience
What a job done by Jose. Wasted hundreds of millions and is entitled to 12m quid for such a failure.
The latter is a quiet guy, but Jose would somehow manage to piss him too.
I've never remembered a period when our club has been shrouded in so much negativity, and for me, there is one man at the centre of it all, Mourinho. He constantly picks fights with the board, the fans, the players, the press, the pundits. I'm actually glad Pogba came out and said what he said, as someone had to say it..Imagine being trained to play that garbage style of Sunday League football week in week out. No wonder he fecks off to the French camp as quickly as he can as he most likely enjoys playing with the French team. I don't give a shit about trophies, I just want to see the club I love play with a bit of soul and pride again, because both have evaporated since that miserable man has been in charge.
The sooner he goes, the better.

Jose knows he's done here, the bizarre teamsheet and decisions against West Ham prove that. He knows he's gone at some point this season and is intelligent enough to know he can't get the players back on board. He will therefore spend the rest of whatever time the board affords him here settling personal scores and trying to prove he was right and that everyone else has failed him (which he's done plenty of already) - all in readiness for whatever comes next for him. He won't be bothered about the ramifications for the club who he feels have let him down - the guy doesn't do personal responsibility, never has. Expect plenty more public outbursts, score settling with Pogba and co and kamikaze team selections to prove whatever personal point he feels he needs to from game to game. It will be a painful watch. If Woody and the Board are willing to stand by and stomach this circus for most of the rest of the season to save £££ then more fool them. Anyone still saying he can turn this round is deluded.
The guy is a narcissist, and will continue to be one. All the good comes from him, all the bad from someone else. Has a toxic character and never hesitates to throw his players under bus. The sooner he is gone the better. Buys rubbish, coaches rubbish, speaks rubbish and acts rubbish.
