We might not be in the top 8 by Christmas let alone the top 4, he’s going to struggle to even match Moyes and is verging on being so bad that even Woodward might have to sack him within the next month.

I despised LVG and we sacked the poor fool 2 minutes after lifting a FA Cup with a leak to the press about Jose. The club doesn't mind throwing managers under the bus.

How can Jose set benchmarks of Top 4 by Xmas and survive after taking 2 pts in 6 against relegation bound clubs?

He set that target. Just pay him out and give it to McKenna and Carrick.
I don't understand the whole McKenna and Carrick thing, they sit next to him and seem to offer nothing. When was the last time Carrick stood on the touch line and shouted. We won the title and handed everything on a plate to Moyes a manager with years of experience and he still couldn't do it and now with all the mess you want someone with barely any coaching experience.

mods, can we reset the poll from scratch? Im sure there are some who changed their minds but not changed their vote. would be good to see a truer reflection.

I imagine if you did that we’d probably have less votes than we do now.

So, Leicester who lost their 2 best players from recent years, have spent a fraction of what we have, started yesterday with Morgan and one of our castoffs at CB, have a manager deemed not good enough for Southampton and have had a personal crisis to deal with. This team ladies and gentlemen is a point behind us. Yet some on here will defend Jose that he didn’t get fecking Perisic and Maguire. Dear god. Perspective.
That is a great comparison. I don't know whatsoever logic those people have in defending him when see this.

McKenna would basically be repeating Zidane and Pep's formula. Both coached the youth team as did McKenna. Carrick has done no such thing. That's not to say McKenna is the next Zidane or Pep. Not at all. He could turn out to be crap. Only pointing out the similarities in their CV prior to getting the job.

As far as their influence, I never understood why fans were hopeful they would do anything. At the end of the day, they have to conform to the manager's wishes. He's the one in charge and he wants his side to play a certain way.

The youth team played some nice attacking football under McKenna and we have little to lose.
If it was possible to get poch later, and keep McKenna then as part of his coaching staff it would be good I think.
Also have the director of football in place.

There are talented youth players here, we should play them, and maybe we might see a resurgence in excitement at least, and be true to our history.

This poll is becoming a bit meaningless because it has been open for so long. A poll should capture people's sentinement in a snapshot of time. As it is, this one probably contains some old votes and some new votes which have been submitted under very different circumstances.

I suggest resetting it, letting people vote for like 3 days, and closing it. Then if Mourinho is still here in say 4 months, we can start a new poll to see the difference.

There have been managers over the last few years that have taken very average players and got them playing some lovely progressive football- George Burley for instance a decade or so ago! I therefore can not for the life of me see why our players- some of whom earn over 1 million pounds a month- struggle to string a couple of 10 yards passes together? What the actual feck is going on during training sessions? It's totally embarrassing!

McKenna deserves a chance as a caretaker. It seems as though whoever we are targeting, will not be available till the summer. Otherwise, why keep this fool Jose in a job?!

Toxic mourinho.Hate him and what he is doing to our club.

You all heard what he said after juve game about doing something for the inter fans, this shows what type of a vindictive manipulative ass he is.
i wonder when he eventually leaves here what he will say then.

I’m loving how his specialist in failure jibe against Wenger is coming back to bite his balls off. First he gets sacked for bringing Chelsea just above the relegation zone and now he’s doing worse than Moyes despite having three years and huge sums to spend.

Even in his darkest days Wenger never stooped as low as Mourinho has done by blaming everyone and creating a toxic environment. And also Wenger never in 23 seasons finished lower than 6th while Mourinho was sacked from Chelsea just above the relegation zone and is firmly on course for a mid table finish despite spending hundreds of millions.

Whatever class Mourinho used to have us now long gone. All that matters to him is himself get rid of him before he burns the club down.

If you make a bunker for him and made a movie of his last days at Utd in German it would probably be a hit.

But how many people have coached youth teams and how many have turned out to be Zidane or Pep. Look at Henry, one of the best players in the world, played under Pep, assistant to a team that finished 3rd at the World Cup and at a much easier league in France but has only won 1 game. He probably has players that can play more exciting football than our team but look at him now. The problem is more than just Mourinho or whoever the next manager is, the problem is the structure of the club, as I said before I knew it was over for us the moment Ed said in the interview that the Sanchez signing generated more likes and view than the Neymar transfer. The moment your commander-in-chief relates that to football then what's the point for us. Did anyone go on run their mouth about signing Ronaldo at Juve?

Nobody that is working with Mou atm deserves a job tbh.
Unfortunately, we just don’t know what their influences on the team are. Don’t forget, it was Josewho said that he wants to mold his coaches to his way of thinking. Seems as though they havevery little influence on the team.

Obligatory, would you take Wenger over Mourinho rn?
Yes. We'll play some nice football, bring through soms of our exciting youth players, and have an adult in charge rather than a petulant child.

The thing why he will not be sacked is that hecwill have so-so results. Beat arsenal then draw away then win, draw.
I am not bothered about results anymore. I wrote this season off and know that we will not play CL next year.
But i am worried about squad. Pogba, Martial and De gea are core of this team. We need them for future

So after the latest Castles report regarding the postgame drama yesterday,I see that the fraud has resorted to his tried and true tactic of burning down locker rooms and picking fights with club stars on his way out...

Jose needs 12 points from next 5 games to equal Moyes’ points tally at the half way stage of season.

This is the worst it has ever been for United in premier league era. The fans have never turned at old Trafford for various reasons but it will happen this season.

Rough look at the table and not knowing what games Bournemouth, Watford and that have but a loss to Arsenal and we could fall to 10th depending on other results. So basically very important point yesterday :lol:

It's actually morbidly amusing that he could go so low that even Woodward, who usually is planted on his arse in stoic silence while giving managers an inordinately long rope, will be forced to act sooner than he wishes.

I truly believe we won't even finish above Everton or Bournemouth if he stays as manager till April. 8th place seems just about right.
