Sadly didn’t see any of the game. Woke up this morning feeling a bit squiffy and got worse as the day wore on. Pounding headache, dizzy, shivering and aching limbs. Finally succumbed and went back to bed at 2:00pm.

Feeling marginally better now, some more Paracetamol and back to bed shortly.:(

These players thrive going forward with freedom and creativity and they're being told to camp out in their box and break away. You're never going to get consistent standout moments from Pogba if he's constantly having to play balls out from his own 18 yard line.

He's peaked at the club. Won two trophies and now the drop off has come. Happened at Chelsea and Madrid too. People caught onto this before I could be bothered to listen to it. As above rather than making a steady progression, they've built a squad and are now going backwards. Zidane has been the favourite for a while but I think it's too risky.
Zidanes best talent is that he massages egos really well. He isn't great at much else but he'll be able to pick up the pieces of yet another mourinho shattered dressing room and mould them into a team again and get the best out of pogba. I don't buy this guff about him winning trophies either, they're the ones no big club wants, Manchester Utd making do with the poxy league cup, incredible and the only reason to win the Europa league is because you weren't good enough to qualify for champions league in your own league

Mourinho sacked by Man U.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46603018
Quote:
Jose Mourinho has left his job as Manchester United manager after two-and-a-half years in charge.

A club statement said: "The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future.

"A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager."

l cannot say l am surprised at this as the writing was on the wall before the season started as he was turned down from those above for transfer funds for two defenders and after that the die was cast especially when he did not play Pogba and Lukaku and the results got worse as well.

Michael Carrick looks like being appointed the acting interim manager for the next two days apparently now and then there will be a external temporary appointment until the end of the season.:scratch::confused:

An Englishman in charge of a Premiership team ? Surely not, can't have the players understanding the manager, results will nosedive....

Most supporters don't really care if the manager comes from Timbuktu Mr K as if they get the results most supporters will be happy.

Football is a results based business at the end of the day and managers know that when they come into the job.

The game has changed so much now. Now, it's all results straight away that matter. Look at Alex Ferguson when he joined Man U, he took 3.5 years to win a trophy. Would he be given the same time now to build the team like he did then?

Sadly the time Sir Alex Ferguson was given to turn it around at Man U is but a distant dream now as clubs are trigger happy when it comes to sacking managers nowadays.

Mixed emotions from me, something had to change for sure. That said, as at Chelsea in his last season there and their subsequently massive improvement when Conte came suggests a lot of back sliding from outrageously overpaid players.

A few quotes from Andy Mitten, editor of Manchester United fanzine United We Stand.

Quote:
Andy Mitten, editor of Manchester United fanzine United We Stand, on BBC Radio 5 live: "It has been coming in recent weeks. We've been doing polls where 80% of fans wanted him to leave. Very few people will be upset he has gone.
Quote:
"He had a very good first season, an acceptable second season, but this season has been a disaster.
Quote:
The manager is not wholly responsible but he must take a lot of the blame. He is not the only one culpable, the players are not playing anywhere near their best level.
Quote:
"They won't be sad he's gone"
Another comment hits the nail right on the head as well.

Quote:
Fair to say United have been devoid of a clear strategy since Sir Alex left. Sacking Jose isn't a panacea for poor planning at the board level and lack of a consistent transfer market policy.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 
It must be bad though, I can't remember the last time Man U sacked a manager in the middle of a season, they normally wait for the summer to make changes to coaching staff. As someone who has never been a fan of Mourinho, hopefully he disappears from the English game for a very very very long time.

Don’t think Moyes made it to the end.

In fact he didn’t, Giggsy took over for last few games

Who would like to be Man Utd’s new manager Jim?.

Re: Season 2018/2019
 
Oh yeah. But that's the exception, all the other ones left at the end of a season.

Tempted to take a punt on Harry Redknapp to become new manager at 50/1 or maybe even Alan Pardew at 100/1
