He deserves to get to the end of the season, but at that point a mutual termination would be beneficial for both parties I believe, let me explain why.
After LVG nobody thought the football could get any worse, we won the FA Cup, Mourinho comes in, makes, what we think at the time some solid investments, particularly Pogba, everyone's excited to see the boy wonder come home, we've all seen what level he played to at Juventus after all. First season isn't bad, it isn't great but there is progress, good for a first season, adding a couple of, whilst not particularly big, but decent, trophies along the way and bringing us back into the CL again, all setup for Mourinho's signature second season where he kicks on. Bearing in mind when he started he was laying down the expectations for everyone of winning the league in the 2nd/3rd season. More signings in the summer, great, decent start to the season, and then what, negativity, route one long ball tactics, stagnation, seemingly falling outs with players publicly, signings aren't what we expected, they aren't performing to the level they were before they joined us, Mkhitaryan got swapped and Sanchez has been no better, we got embarassingly knocked out by a poor team in the CL, only chance of a trophy is FA Cup but even that isn't guaranteed. Only improvement is the league position really, but De Gea has dug us out of a hole in a few matches and the teams around us shouldn't of been so poor in as many matches as they have been this season.
At the end of the day i don't see progression from last season, if anything i see stagnation at best, slightly backwards at worst. It's all there for everyone to see on the pitch, i can't tell if there just isn't any coaching being applied, particularly in an attacking sense, or if the players just aren't responding to Mourinho's method anymore, i can't say I blame them when i'm looking at all our rivals play beautiful football and they are forced to play this tosh, must be soul wrenching at times.
People will say well he needs more money! Man City have spent loads! Okay? So? This is squad isn't relegation fodder and it's certainly good enough to be beating Sevilla, we've lost and played negative crap against a lot of teams with half the squad value or ours and much less investment, yet apparently the excuse is not enough money spent? Nobody is expecting champagne Man City football and barnstorming league runs just yet, but i refuse to believe the reason he's making the team play the way it is is because he thinks the squad is crap, which, lets be honest if he believes that, is partially his fault at this point anyway, a lot of money and very few players, most of which aren't performing to the standards they've set previously, and yet he's earned the trust to get another few hundred million in the summer apparently. What happens when he spends another load of money and he's still nowhere near the title next season? Let's throw more money at it again somethings bound to change sooner or later!
My preferential idea for the summer would be for Woodward and the board to wake up and stop thinking short term, learn about the actual game of football, bring in a DOF that will stop the mess of these post Fergie years from ever happening to us ever again, pair them up with Ribalta, bring in a young progressive coach (Tuchel, Jardim) that actually gets the fans excited with a modern approach to football that will bring out the best in the young exciting attacking options we have whilst we still have them and they haven't been traded away for workhorses or scapegoated to the point of wanting out. Oh and before people say oh well its gonna be another 3 years of rebuilding then if this happens, no, nobody ever does this in football apart from us apparently, every manager uses players from previous regimes and usually to good effect, so it isn't an issue.
Just sick of the deadweight football the excuses, not asking for every trophy, not asking to win every match, just simply to enjoy my football again and to see the club actually doing well.
