    Things do not seem right at all at Old Trafford, and I sense that he will not be around much longer..

    Agreed. He's a spent force now and hasn't progressed with the times. Poch would actually be a good fit for them. Although, I'm not bothered who goes as long as they keep their paws off Jack Ross :emoticon-0121-angry

    I just don’t see an identity at Utd anymore, individual players who are decent, but they’re not a team, and Jose hasn’t got a clue what his best team is.

    Listening to his press conference it would appear that he is a man under serious stress. Can't see him lasting much longer

    I've just been reading the match comments from the Managers. According to Jose they played really well and had loads of chances they didn't score. If you look at the stats on the beeb site then that bit is true enough. But they lost 0 - 3. Takes me back to Argyle last weekend. If you look at the beeb stats we had loads of attempts we didn't score. We lost 1 - 5. So even better than United then. The secret must be have less than a dozen attempts at scoring and you will piss the match easily. I'm trying to contact our Manager as we speak to break the news to him. Don't practice as hard at creating. Jose said so so it must be true.

    The man is a fecking looney.

    He's lost what made him special. His way of winning giant work like it used to. I could be wrong but I'd be getting rid. He's doing more harm than anything else. Turning world class players ****, distancing the fans and giving united a bad name.

    Humility would change my opinion and make me think he can improve but it looks unlikely to me.

    The guy seems to be increasingly mentally fragile with every press interview.

    If I was on the Man U board I'd be keeping him away from the press.

    To me it’s a bit like when Martin O’Neil was with us. He’s f*cked without his right hand man. Taxi soon I think. They have lost their identity and the will of the players to play for him. Just too much drama and crisis all the time

    I always have the feeling with Mourinho he has another agenda going. He clearly wants out of Man Utd, i'm sure he has something else lined up. Since the day day he arrived at Old Trafford his body language has been all wrong. He never seemed to be a right fit for Man U ........They should have gone for Ancelotti.

    Mourinho's main purpose has always been to seek attention to feed his ego, he's probably getting more of it now than he ever has, and he'll be more happy with that than he's unhappy with the way that things are going at 'United . . . . I've got no doubt about that. I've also got no doubt that he doesn't care about 'United . . . . he'll only care about becoming a failure.

    Him blaming everybody else is also 'normal' and he's only been successful in the past in this country (I don't know about elsewhere, like Porto) when he's been given unlimited funds. Curly Perm proved that anyone can be more successful than they otherwise would if money can be 'chucked at it' although Mourinho has proven that he's a manager of sorts where Curly was just temporarily lucky.

    I've always liked 'United, but I really wanted 'Spurs to win last night because of that boring, miserable egotistical twat.

    I think that it might be time for their hierarchy to ring Eddie Howe, who has proven to me that he can 'manage' :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Mourinho could 'turn it around' at United, I suppose, but I'll be amazed if he even gets the chance, and I don't want him to. I noticed the body language of his employers after last night's match, which suggested to me that they've had enough, too.

    If his fortune changes quickly (it definately won't) and he becomes the most successful manager ever, I'll deny having said any of this, mind :emoticon-0100-smile

    He’s a terrible got for United. He’s come out pre season saying they can’t compete when they are dropping in world class players and he’s been backed just as much as any other manager.

    His alienation of Pogba, Shaw, Martial and Darmian is beyond outrageous, his handling of Rashford has been a disgrace.

    There alone he has 4 potentially world bearing players and one superb Italian international that he has personally dragged down.

    He’s a spent force for me, the way he stood in front of the fans after game and then that jntwrview? He’s gone, his heads gone.

    Nobody and nothing will ever be bigger than Manchester United, I’ll be stunned if he makes it through the next month.

    They were genuinely good for 35 mins yesterday but the fragility once the heat is on is not close to acceptable for a club of the stature. On the other bench is Pocchetino, casually making everyone i his team the best they can be sitting 100% from 3 tough games with no new signings and a club in upheaval over the stadium delays.

    Again, I’ll be stunned if he isn’t the very man they try and replace Mourinho with.

    I havnt watched his interviews for a year or two now. Whether they win, lose or draw I'd just cringe. He gives off the impression that he just hates everything about his job, forgetting that he has earned himself into a privileged career. I only read about what he does now. Turn off as soon as he comes on my telly. Hard to believe that he served his 'apprenticeship' under Bobby Robson.

    He stopped becoming interesting a long time ago and just turned into a complete knob.

    He is ruining Utd and making them a laughing stock.

    Won’t see October in my opinion.

    Does that not just guarantee him a better pay off?

    I'd be surprised if he lasts the week!

    He just seems very unhappy these days.

    He's not the same guy who made such a big impression when he first got the Chelsea gig. If he was family I'd be worried about him!

    It does. But the guys already a multi-millionaire. At their level they're not signing just for the pay packet. Its for the prestige the trophies, making history....

    He's clearly not going to achieve any of that and hasn't looked like it for some time now at Utd.

    As a life long Sunderland fan I don't give a **** about Man Utd and their manager but anyone can see the media vultures are circling and Jose makes it easy for them the way he conducts himself.
