They never will. Too obsessed with being right on the internet. It’s sad really.
Hopefully some of his sheeps follow him out the door. Some of the conversations on here trying to defend him were akin to a cult-like mentality.
Thought Fabregas did ?
I know it's probably job done, but Mendes looks a bit of tit given last weeks statement, sure he got his cut though.
Just sad how we've been rinsed here, hopefully we'll get our revenge one day.

BBC having a field day with this.. Not suprising, just appaling and thinking about going full SAF with banning them..
Good response. And I appreciate everything you have said.
People do get entrenched in their opinions. I am guilty of that.
It took me a while before I could reconcile/accept that Mourinho is perhaps not the manager he once was. The reasons for that, can only ever be speculation. Equally the club are guilty of systemic failings following the retirement of SAF. Three managers have failed since SAF. People are entitled to ask why that is. Because if the answer is not that they were simply the wrong appointments, then the reality becomes far more concerning - the club simply isn't conducive to allowing a manager to succeed. Sadly, Manchester United and Mourinho have combined to form a wholly unworkable relationship - timing may have played a part in this. What would a 2013 Mourinho appointment have yielded? We'll never know.
As I say, all parties are guilty. Mourinho hasn't delivered his end of the bargain. Manchester United don't appear to operate in way that was ever to Mourinho's liking. And the makeup of the squad is questionable.
I think it's a case of 'what could have been'. It's been a rather sorry saga all told. I hope we learn from our mistakes. And I hope Mourinho finds a new club and succeeds in proving that there is still life in both him and his methods. Sadly, that just won't be with United.
I’ve been fanatically following United ever since I was a tiny nipper in the late 70’s, brought up with the Busby mantra. I have never been so miserably depressed when watching them play as I have been lately. Not even in the darkest days of the 80’s. Today feels like the start of getting my club back. United are about young players with the freedom to express themselves, playing swashbuckling football and scaring the shit out of everyone else.
Mourinho's sacking is being covered on Newsnight:
Which other club could ever get that kind of attention?

Which other club could ever get that kind of attention?
I know, I was thinking just this earlier. I heard Sky Sports News have covered it all day, they never do that with any other club. Even on BBC main news it was amongst the headlines.
It was pure box office, highest profile club, and highest profile / most controversial manager.
It'll never reach such a crescendo again thankfully
Cheers man, having a debate with someone who can actually speak about the topic at hand is refreshing. I have found actually trying to discuss Mourinho and his failings would always descend into pointless debate about Woodward, being backed by the board etc. I understand that there are factors at play but actually just trying to discuss Mourinho became a pointless exercise with his staunch arrogant defenders who simply ignored any facts and continued on their tirade about all of our problems but decided to ignore the elephant in the room which was of course Mourinho.
I was genuinely giddy when we appointed him and I religiously listened to every presser he done in the first few months. Everything felt quite positive at first and even though our league form in the first season wasn't great we had a relatively good season, in my opinion. The second season started well but I felt as time went on, the cracks started to appear. All-in-all though, I still had a glimmer of hope that we could go on and have a good season (this season) even if the summer was an absolute shambles. But I mean - we can all become entrenched in our opinions, I have been more than guilty of that myself - it looked clear as day after the first couple of months of this season that things weren't right and he wasn't turning this around. My issue is with the posters who refused to acknowledge what was right in front of them and kept coming up with the same deflection tactics time-and-again when Mourinho was being discussed.
I guess the majority on here wanted him to succeed and wanted him in the first place despite what the 'in crowd' will try and insinuate. It's a shame how it all unfolded but it has left a bitter taste in my mouth and I can't deny that. Of course there are a-few that never wanted him an forewarned us of what was to cone and, for me, they can revel in their superior knowledge. But as I said, the majority did want him despite what has been said about 'haters' etc.
They put the story of Jose being sacked on the "News" page..... above the Brexit story?!!
Can't believe I have to pay a licence fee for people like Phil McNulty to spout shite.
We print money for these guys. No one gives a shit about Brexit.
Feck Brexit, United is faaaaarrr more important!
Difference being that José was sacked during a downward spiral where we've had a 43% win percentage recently. His numbers weren't going up, and had he been given enough time to finish the season like the others pretty much got, he would most likely have performed worse in all categories.
This article is spot on

If the next manager is undermined the way Mourinho was then they will also fail.

Been sick with flu for a few days and just found out he's gone. I feel so behind. Off to Sky ports news.
Feel so happy

The comments on this
Someone said he got rejected because he couldn't make a 'four seasons'.
Imagine SAF puts down his morning paper, tilts his glasses up, sees the news, takes offohis slippers, puts on a cape and takes over, winning the league on the final day by one point along with League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League 
I agree he has to look at his methods but not because the current generation of players are spoilt rich. At least that is not the main reason. Which group of players/employees will like it when their manager keeps saying to the world "look at what I have to work with". Whether you are 500k/week player or 50k/year employee, whose morale will sustain such deprecation? His approach to Sevilla game and his words this preseason are a disgrace.
Sky’s EPG for sky sports news is Mourinho sacked.
We got put out of the league cup, thanks again JoseImagine SAF puts down his morning paper, tilts his glasses up, sees the news, takes offohis slippers, puts on a cape and takes over, winning the league on the final day by one point along with League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League
mourinho did deliver a few trophies to the club, albeit it was done in an uninspiring fashion. We can’t really blame Jose for the teams play, we knew what type of manager he was when we hired him. He wasn’t the right choice or fit for the club and yet Woodward still wanted him. Glad he is gone though, as there was no need for his pressers constantly having a go at the players and boosting his own ego. He will probably go to Madrid this season and win the league and champions league with them.
Scholesy just walking by the window on this Sky debate show
Absolutely. He’s definitely profited from this. It’s not the first time, he’s profited at our expense, remember the bebe fiasco? Like that fat waiter raiola, he should not be even allowed close to the club.
If Real Madrid sign Jose, Im going to be highly suspicious of the fact that he was trying to get himself sacked,, all the signs were there, picking the team vs Liverpool with Sir Alex, Ed And Bobby Charlton in the stands, his post match comments praising liverpool players and him biting at the reporter when asked if players were not playing for him, as if trying to get the reporter to suggest the same

He'd still find a way to win it
Damn. The Saudis must all be checking under their sofa for some change as we speak.
Value in the market at last!
BBC saying around £15M compensation.
I think he's banned for being a massive WUM.
That beer is gona go warm. He’s been banished.
