Class from him. Doubt we'll hear shit from him years later as we still do from Moyes and LVG.

Classy exit from Jose.
Anyone able to paste the full article here? Would love to read this. Thanks
At least he didn’t find out he was fired from the press, so it’s slightly easier to be gracious.
Good man. Though i hope and believe he will come out a biography soon and perhaps shade some light on his United tenure and especially on what happened over the summer
Cheere mate. But that's a different article from the Telegraph one. I'm referring to the article by Jason Burt
If he was sacked after the New Castle game, maybe we would still be nearer Top 4?
Tbh, I don't see much wrong with that. I wouldn't want that kind of guy watching my back as well.
Yeah leave him alone, what's done is done.
Now knowing the co diction the club has been in for the past 6 months, I think it's a scandal he wasn't sacked earlier.
I remember when ferguson retired, the fuss was that we have to make sure he doesn't interfere with the new manager like matt Busby did way back. That happened but I'm afraid we seem to have fallen victim to sentimentality of old players.
Pretty fair. It may not have much to do with football but it's still a really really fecking scummy thing to do and I can understand why Jose might not want to trust him.
Lvg’s immediate statement was extremely classy.
But this is good too. Maybe it’s time we all move on.
Anyone miss Jose yet? Or couldn't give a piss about it?
I was delighted to read he was gone but mellowed a little when i saw him in that sky sports interview. The guy did try his best but was ultimately too toxic a character to everyone at the club, probably even the laundry and tea ladies

That's brilliant. Giggs is a proper twat and it's good to see someone in that position say the same and show he can't just have whatever he wants.
Feck him and his classy exit. He's destroyed the morale in the team and left us in limbo. Used his Journo pals like the one who works for the record newspaper in Portugal to lie about not wanting Pogba which Jason Burt has called a lie.
F^%{ we lost our George Clooney. Sadly it didn’t work out. Wish him all the best.
What?I'm glad he's gone though. Definitely not the only problem at the club but he was toxic towards the end. Had to go. Good riddance.
Wish him nothing but failure. He does not desreve any respect from us.
He's ruined us.Nothing he says can repair the damage he has inflicted on United.We need to forget him and what he did and focus on getting back to where we belong.
Wish him well but glad he gone..
Weird how Jose didn’t have problems keeping Terry as his Chelsea captain after he’d been shagging one of his team mates wives though. Good old Jose.
I too was happy when the announcement was made but i cant forget his toxic personality. From his days at Real, falling out with everyone there, then the same at chelsea. And don't forget about the treatment of the doctor at Chelsea too! What happened here with us and how he treated Luke Shaw, Martial and others, showed me pretty quick he wasn't going to change. He's a great manager but a horrible man. I don't think he'll ever change!
The future now though with UTD is an open book, the title has been written, The cast is there and the plot is being drafted by the author(s) as we speak. Hopefully it will be a hit![/QUOTE]
Classy leaving speech but I suppose he got his nice payoff.
I don't wish the bloke ill, it was not a good fit and I thank him for the couple of trophies. But I'm glad he's gone.
Also, I don't blame him AT ALL for the Giggs thing. Giggs, while being a United legend, descended to a very special level of cnut for me when he did what he did. I lose respect for him as a man, and a human being, when that came out and I dont blame anyone for not wanting to work with him closely like that.

Maybe. I'm not going to compare the incidents. Maybe Jose thinks what Giggs did is much worse. Both Terry and Giggs are complete scum of human and deserve any criticism directed towards then.
Maybe Jose thinks Giggs in a potential position of management was someone to trust less than a player at the club, even if they are captain.
Yeah, he single handedly ruined us. Might as well liquidate the club and start from the scratch! Think you've forgotten about Moyes and Van Gaal though.
Media should leave him alone. We should stop discussing him now also, he's gone, let's move on.
Can you really compare the toxicity that Mourinho created to anything Moyes or Van Gaal did?Christ sake they did nothing compared to Mourinho.
Your correct there pal. I think he is just trying to show a bit of humility.
Mourinho is a successful manager ... but his football and the way he handled the dressing room and the toxicity that he generated in the club ended up firing him, things that had already happened with Real Madrid and Chelsea.
Ed Woodward must assume this as another catastrophe and must understand that he can not make sporting decisions because his vision is purely commercial. As long as we do not have people who know football making important decisions we will continue to increase the list of failures.
We need a manager who plays an attractive/attacking football, improves the players and develops young players. Now the pressure must pass to the board and the players.
We should not be happy that Mourinho left ... it means that again our sport project failed. He was just part of the problem and the solution was chosen easier and faster.
We will continue with the problem until the right decisions are made, and as long as we do not have a manager that adequately represents what United means as a football club. We do not even have a real captain among the players.
There are many things that must change.

Considering our value has gone up by 170m since we sacked him, the 18m in compensation we paid to Jose essentially means nothing. We have made money despite having to pay him a shitetonne.

The share price rise is just paper money though. The balance sheet still takes a hit from the payout.
Never seemed proud to me, it was always about his image, his reputation, his achievements. Thanks for the trophies, but you wont be remembered fondly.
