Has to go. Has one of the most gifted squads in the league and we are still performing nowhere to our potential.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

These poll options are absolutely trash.
This.
People forget that it took Pep/Klopp/Poch more than one season to get to where they are at the moment, people forget how bad Liverpool was last season even to the extend where they say Klopp will never win anything if he doesn't know how to coach the defence (kinda like Mourinho can't coach attacking), Many have written off pep saying he's finished and EPL is a different beast, but fast forward a few months and they're back again.
I'd happily give Mourinho another season, we have invested alot in him and to press the reset button again will be painful. I don't believe there's a magic wand that the next manager comes in would simply make us play attacking football and winning the league. Even when Pep magically turns out at Old Trafford next season we won't magically swap position with City next year.
Its amazing how people turn up their noses at Poch on here, man is doing a fantastic job. Apparently he's won nothing so he's shit
Only one way to find out
In all seriousness, I reckon today’s game will defy our path for the rest of the season considering the fragile mentality within our club. Win and imo we will finish 2nd, lose or draw and we’ll end out of top 4 by the end of the season.Eh.. I don't think that's the case. Nobody down play his achievement, most of us just saying that even if he manages United there's no guarantee he'll do better than Jose (aka point wise and winning trophies), there's no guarantee he can turn us into title winning team in 1 year, there's no guarantee he'll even be successful here (for many other non footballing factors).
It's ok if he hasn't won anything, but I personally have issue with people dishing Mourinho left right center saying he's a fraud, he's finished, he's outdated etc for a manager that hasn't even proved anything.
Furthermore, Jose Mourinho "IS" our manager while Pochetinno is "SPURS" managers. So call me bias or red tinted, but i'd rather back my manager rather than wanking over next door manager (which doesn't even show any signs of interest in managing us yet)
This.
For a manager who signed a contract extension weeks ago, seems fickle for fans to want him sacked now.
All fart no shit.
The cat's really on hot bricks now. Sad, I like him, but our all-round play is nearing LvG levels of bad.
It’s a bit worrying that he can’t seem to solve our defence (statistically the worst of the top 6) and simultaneously is coaching a very boring attack, unable to get the best out of our most exciting players.
Bye bye Mourinho. This game will be the start of his downfall and his negative tactics.
Option 2. Next 5 games decide if I drop to option 3. He's fecking useless in how he sets us up in big games.
I wanted him out months ago - way before his extension.
Had enough of it. The tumescent shite he's got us playing is a disgrace
Get rid off him, he isn’t taking us anywhere.
Surely the players have to shoulder some of this blame.
Getting worse by the week is seems.
Yes but he doesn't look like he's motivating them. Chelsea are a club in crisis and they're looking like a team more than we are which is worrying.
Manager needs to leave, we are going nowhere.
It’s really starting to feel like Jose is losing the team. Why drop martial, play him out of position etc and then put him back in the hardest game? I just don’t understand this anymore.
Feck him off and feck 95% of the players off with him.
Everything about this group of players is poison.

I’m starting to feel it’s nearing the end for Jose, sadly.
What happened to him?
We seem to throw in the towel before we play any of the big guns.
I love Jose and wanted him here, but I'm willing to admit that this isn't working. Neither for us or for him.

He's too comfortable with his job security and big contract it seems. Football has become little more than bantering and picking up the pay check.
Biggest mercenary at the club?
Not as long as Zlatan is still here.
Can’t believe he sold Lukaku.
We scored, but same here. I like him and thought he was a good fit for us.
Thing is, he shares some of the blame. Tactics are woeful. What Conte is doing with Willian or Pedro, can't we do with Martial or Lingard who are of similar quality? And that is before factoring in the Sanchez buy.
Rest of the blame lies on our recruitment. What team in the top 6 plays with 2 failed wingers at FB positions? This is really screwing us over, as attacking FBs would really give us more impetus going forward.
2 testicles from the same scrotumNot as long as Zlatan is still here.
Can’t see the match but hearing it’s much of the same in terms of the performance? Can’t be having that at home.
Started terribly, yes, but back in it now and game's there for the taking in the second half if we improve. Our pressing is really poor though - giving their best players too much time on the ball.
Another abominable, offensively shite performance so far, goal or no goal.
No pace, no energy, no impetus, no will to win and taking it to the opposition. Barely a shot on goal (took half an hour). It's Van Gaal without the possession.

Look it’s not great we all know that. But we cannot keep sacking managers. We need to give him more time and money. Like it or not.
Why? What is this nonsense thinking?
No will to win? He's not parked the proverbial bus. They started much better but we were edging it before their goal. Sanchez should have put us in front. Responded well to going a goal down. This is a must win game for both teams and it shows.
How much time and money is enough? We've given him £350m and have made minimal improvement.
I don't think we should sack him because we have improved but I don't see what previous managers have to do with it - if a manager isn't performing and consistently doesn't get the side to perform then he eventually should be sacked. Mourinho isn't at that point yet but if he gets to it then what happened with Moyes/LVG is irrelevant.
Actually going forward on the counter we look really threatening. Its the time and space we allow them when they're transitioning from defence to attack. The lack of pressing is stupid.
