I'm going with January, just before the FA Cup tie v Reading. McKenna will take over until the summer and then we'll get in Pochettino and a DoF.

A wild prediction? Maybe. What's yours?

This week hopefully. Things are so depressing with him.

I hope he will everyday. Turn on the news & he is still here. It is like Groundhog day.

If we lose tonight, I think he'll be gone within the week and then if he wins and survives, i think when he loses against Liverpool, he'll be out.

Around March 17thish after we play Arsenal and City for the second time in the league. It'll also coincide with when top four is mathematically impossible.

I think people hoping he will be sacked after tonight will be left disappointed. He won't get the boot after losing to Arsenal. Just my thoughts, hope I'm wrong.

If he wins today or draws the show will keep going - only an absolute hammering at home with the fans absolutely killing him an Woodward would force the boards hands. I don’t buy this concept that the board would be totally oblivious to a raucous Old Trafford basically booing the crap out of the team and wanting blood.. it is their unreasonable patience which has allowed the shit show to continue.

He is the bookies favourite in the "sack race" at 2/1.

Next is the Wolves manager at 6/1 and then Sean Dyche.

When he eye gauges Leno after a classic Arsenal v United brawl.

Yeah we are to blame. How can we repeatedly chat Jose Mourinho but expect people to assume we’ve lost our patience.

If you lose to Arsenal he will be sacked the next day I reckon.

Utd will just have to take the hit financially and pay him the extra for sacking him early £20m is what Im hearing.

If he keeps having digs at the board, his dismissal will happen soon, regardless of the 'mathematically impossible' stuff.

If it's mathematical to the top 4 then we'll be waiting a while yet. Even if we dropped something huge like 24 points behind 4th place, he wouldn't be sacked until game 31. We've got at least a few more months of suffering yet!

Not getting the sack tonight.... I have given up on us turning a corner under Mourinho. We will have a decent result here and there but it will be same old shite.

Sooner we get rid of the virus the better! And I can go back to calling him Maureen.

When CL is out of the question - so knocked out of CL and no top 4 chance.
Dont really get this argument at all tbh, and yet it is mentioned by everyone. Let's say we sack him today and pay him what 15-20m compensation. Alternatively let's say we do in fact miss out on Champions League football I am sure the economic impact of that will be more than the payout to Jose. Doesn't the addidas deal also have something in there that if we dont qualify for Champions league the sponsorship goes down

December 16 if Liverpool humiliate United at Anfield. More likely, the moment top 4 is mathematically out of reach. I don't agree with the whole sack the manager when top four is impossible but that seems to be the way Woodward operates.

I really want it to be tonight (ideally before the Arsenal game...) but it's going to be mid-March isn't it? Or maybe September - after he's wasted the entire summer, and spunked £150m on a bunch of 30+ year olds (Willian and Perisic?)

Hoping it's tomorrow, but realistically I know it won't be until we've officially failed to qualify for the CL. That'll probably be late March

I'm more going off the back of how we justified getting rid of Moyes and LVG. We surely put clauses in our managers' contracts for that - Jose will be the same.

If we lose today, I wish the board sack him tomorrow. Enough is enough. Give me back the joy watching Man United!

2026.

After two more years of Pep's dominance, we finally break them and win the double in 2020, followed by a second place in 2021 but with a CL final win over Milan who are coached by Pep and funded with Chinese gold money.

We win two more titles with Arsenal getting two as well.

He leaves in 2026 to go back to Inter.
