In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

This..
Well said Andy x
Last time he did anything worthwhile was his La Liga title. Football has surpassed him
Italian clubs might think sitting back to defend 1-0 lead is somehow funny so Inter probably is his next stop. Seria A is like nursing home for him, it's fit.
He disrespected the club and became a divisive figure, he deserves all the comments he is getting and a thousand more.
Our biggest mistake was to have given him the job ab initio considering his antecedents.

Well put. Hopefully people will understand this! Jose was literally a virus to our club, not just to our team. Rooney confirmed just as much. Jose is such a bitter and an outdated manager.
Denial of what?
Mourinho has his flaws just like every other human being, but those that oppose him also have their own flaws. Trying to paint someone as entirely bad cos you disagree with them or dont like them is just childish or naive.
Even with Madrid fans and players, he has those who support him and those that dont. its just life.
You seem to think that things are always right vs wrong or good vs evil - that would be naive. In reality the world is not like that.
Our biggest mistake was not hiring him in 2013 when he really didn't have a team to build and just a few replacements to bring in that first season.
We could have signed Fabregas, Willian, Matic then and just kept on steamrolling the league.
Mourinho made his bed and now he has to lie in it! But what I can’t get my head around is the concept of deliberately getting himself sacked bearing in mind the damage to his future employment prospects and reputation though the £15 million pay off obviously cushions things a bit.
I mean who would consciously damage one of the biggest clubs in the world for his own personal gain - it beggars belief!

+ Diego Costa.
Someone come up with an Independence Day anthem to remind us of being free from this evil every yearIndependence day
That’s why he mindfecks everybody into believing it’s a rubbish team and crap players. He will tell his future employers it was all our fault. He’ll start off doing well as usual, get a new deal and the cycle will repeat.Mourinho made his bed and now he has to lie in it!

Someone whos ego makes him think that he is bigger than anyone or anything in football.
Oh don't worry he will have his excuses ready.Mourinho made his bed and now he has to lie in it!

The board didnt back him during a rebuild,players stopped trying,players not good enough etc.He will elegantly shift the blame from himself.
Desperate for success
Guess you were in a coma when he won another PL title for Chelsea?
Huh?
Yes I’m sure he will trot out the same old excuses but surely now he has shot his bolt and every club in the world no matter how desperate will see right through him - he’s damaged goods!
Jose knows 5 languages and might have to learn a 6th: Chinese, for his job.
He’s got to run out of countries at some stage!Jose knows 5 languages and might have to learn a 6th: Chinese, for his job.
Too right mateHe’s got to run out of countries at some stage!
Running with that, why do you think the likes of Lampard, Terry, Ibrahimovic still love him despite experiencing this broken irredeemably toxic v2 Mourinho?
Lampard said he would shower with the squad after training! Here’s a guy who would throw his winners medals in crowds. Over here he just didn’t seem arsed.
I don’t believe football has changed dramatically. Yeah there are a lack of leaders. But his last season at Madrid did a lot of damage on him. Jose made players like Ozil and Di Maria run for him non stop. You look at his Chelsea and Inter teams non stop effort.
Forget about attacking football. He couldn’t get the basics right here regards to workrste. I remember a time players would run for José non stop all game. Then not forgetting the laughable defending.
His fathers illness and death would have had a massive impact on his life. I just hope he takes a while out the game and just gets his happiness back.
Moyes -> Wrong person at the wrong time at the wrong club
Van Gaal -> Correct person at the correct time but at the wrong club
Mourinho -> Correct person at the correct club but at the wrong time
Moyes was an absolute disaster.
Van Gaal was a very good coach for rebuilding a team and We desperately needed that but His philosophy didn't fit the club.
Mourinho was always a controversial personality but He had the mentality to manage United, unfortunately We got the depressed version of Mourinho whose outlook in football had been ruined by Madrid career and his second stint at Chelsea. During his first managerial career with Chelsea, most of the players loved him.

Mourinho never had the mentality to manage United. Man United is an all guns blazing attacking powerhouse. We are a family. We have confidence. Mourinho is only good with siege mentality.
Even under SAF, we played differently at different points in his tenure.
Which were outliers of his general philosophy. Bizarre to compare the two.
People just dont want to accept it, he was the wrong appointment, would have been the wrong appointment in the immediate post Alex.
He has a major flaw; SELF! He would have come out when results dont go his way with drivel such as how Fergie had the FA and referees in the palm of his hands, hence his last title success or something even more shit. The man shat on the club and its history post sevilla game for God sake, that in itself was a sackable offence.
There was a period he took on the supporters at old Trafford, things about atmosphere when his team in itself and how they played was one of the reasons for this atmosphere.
As a club and a fan base, we have never been this divided, he deserves all he gets and even more. Good riddance!

Winning the EPL with Chelsea and stopping Liverpool winning the league at Anfield were pretty worthwhile. I will always love Jose for that Anfield game.
I have to say, I find this thread pretty disappointing. It was 100% the right decision to sack Jose but blaming him for everything negative at the club is pretty extreme and if people truly believe it, incredibly naive.
There were a lot of positives during Jose's reign. It might be a squad lacking in confidence but it is a squad with eons more ability than the shit show he inherited from Van Gaal.

Yep blokes a very proud multi millionaire. Would be very bizarre for him to go out a seek being sacked just for a pay out. For me, he wanted to win and wanted the club to support him. He was just wrong in the way he went about it and was rightly sacked. I’m sure he’s not happy with the outcome and not just sack at home awaiting his payout with glee.
They were not outliers but him adapting to the squad and opposition.
You are relentless in your defence of the fallen one.
and you seem to have him living in your head rent free.
People need to simply stop making false claims about how we played under SAF.
Better hope he’s staying somewhere rent free because the Lowry will become pretty expensive now he’s been fired in his third year again.
Already had peak RVP and a still very good Rooney, which is why I didn’t include Costa.
Best thing Mourinho did for Utd was stop Liverpool winning the title in 2014.
And he wasn't even Utd manager then.
And he wasn't even Utd manager then.
I think he owes the club a big deal for relieving him of his duties. The man had a lot of risk factors for suicide completion. I was worried for his health at some point.
My candid opinion will be that he leaves the game for an extended period or indefinitely.
While at Manchester he was devoid of spousal and social support, lost rational thinking and appear depressed

And he did it against which competitors? Top 4 were average that year and Chelsea did barely enough in the later half of the season, like literally. It was written on the wall that they meant to fail next season with that form.
With Real Madrid you could argue that he won it while breaking records.
