Would be a miracle to finish top four: Mourinho

Sack this miserable cnut already. We're paying top wages for a man who only brings negativity on and off the pitch and is more interested in highlighting previous personal glories than creating new ones for the club.
 
He is literally begging to be sacked.

Just pull the trigger already, Ed.
 
Now I’m thinking he just wants the sack and is doing all this shite for the pay off.

Sick of listening to this man moan and whine about everything.
 
“In the absence of more central defenders to play, we had to occupy that area with players who are midfielders, who do not know how to play in defence, who have no characteristics to play in the defence, but who occupied that area in a zonal way, tried to hide the weaknesses that everyone knew we had,”

If that's the case why didn't he add some centre backs from the reserves to the squad. I would rather have defenders playing there instead of central midfielders.

It's Trump, it's Brexit...

It's that Radiohead lyric - 'you do it to yourself, you do...'

It's what scares me about the existence of Rees-Mogg etc.
 
:lol:

He's gone and done a full Moyes.
 
Two games ago he said aim was to be in top four by the end of the year. At this rate he'll be saying it'll be a miracle to finish in the top 8 this season by the start of next year.

Which I imagine he has naturally adjusted due to us failing to pick up points.
 
Now I’m thinking he just wants the sack and is doing all this shite for the pay off.

He wants Xmas off.

Don't blame him - so do I.
 
I think he is in a strange situation, usually he has been sacked now. He's pushing to see what he can get away with, like a cry for help yet nobody pulls the trigger. Next week he will publicly question if Woodward is a man or not
 
It's been obvious for a while he wants out. Like someone wanting out of a relationship but no balls to follow through with it. It's the board now who's hurting the club, the man no longer can do the job and it's up to them.

The thing is - and I want him to go...

But why should he walk? He was given a fecking contract extension last season and then mugged off in the Summer window.

Why shouldn't he wait for Woodward to give him the pay-off his contract guarantees him?

And please guys, don't respond with, "the decent thing to do..." etc, he's a professional, he's brought us multiple trophies, he's given the Glazers / Woodward CL footy every season he's been here, and he's been given a contract, and then not been backed 4 months later...

Again, I want him out, but he has every right to take what Woodward promised him.
 
He just doesn't care anymore. Presumably neither does Woodward, seeing as Mourinho can do and say whatever he wants without consequence
 
How can he say that we don't have the quality when we have paid a fortune for every player he got. We paid 52 million on a player that can barely get into the starting XI in the summer, a RB that isn't getting played, a midfielder that goes sideways so much he wouldn't look out of place in a rugby team, a 90 mil midfield, a 90 mil forward, Mikhataryan who he ruined, Sanchez who is one of the best players in the world... the list goes on. What is this pleb on about?
 
Spends a fortune on players to struggle to get a top 4 place. Wow, he really needs to leave.
 
Heard what he said in Portuguese and it's essentially the following:

"Without more natural CBs available, we had to occupy that zone with midfielders, that don't know how to play as a defender, that don't have the characteristics to play as a defender but, by occupying the zone (3 at the back) would try to hide the weaknesses that everyone knew about."

"Already last year 2nd place was fantastic considering our quality compared to the other teams fighting for top4" "And this year, with even more problems that we've had, it proves what I've said in summer that it would be a very difficult season" "We'll try to get as much points as possible and try the almost miracle of finishing 4th".
 
Well, he is right. It'd take a fecking miracle to finish top 4 with a miserable clueless daft odious cnut like him at the helm.

So my portuguese isn't that rusty. I really need some practice though.:lol:

Is this really necessary? I don't "get" any hatred from his tone of voice, perhaps people project a bit too much.
 


£385 million and he inherited the worlds best keeper, Martial, Rashford, Mata, Shaw and Lingard. He's a fecking disgrace.
 
For how much longer will he be allowed to embarass the club with no ramifications? How is that possible? He just called us a second rate club a few weeks ago . Grow a pair ed and sack this fraud
 
Can we stop this nonsense ffs? This would not be allowed in any club, let alone big one.

The whole thing is a joke. Miracle to finish above Arsenal and Spurs? Blimey.
 
If this was his 1st season then yeah, some of this negativity would be justified.

However, this is your third season José, so what we have or have not is now down to you, so all this ranting and raving about the lack of this, that and the other is ridiculous.
If you genuinely can't realise that then not only should you not be managing one of the biggest football clubs in the world, you shouldn't be managing anything.

Just hurry up and leave and give us our club back before everyone dies of boredom, you're done mate.
 
It's annoying that journalists don't question why is he bemoaning lack of quality when he has had years and multiple hundreds of millions of pounds to address it.
 
4th May

"I don't know if i've mentioned it before but i've been successful, very VERY successful wherever i've Managed, but believe me, my greatest achievement in football, like ever. has been to save Manchester United from relegation with absolutely no financial backing, and do you know what i'll never get the credit I deserve for doing it with one game to spare"
 
It seems obvious to me that he wants out, he’s loaded the gun but that fecking useless bag of shit Woodward refuses to pull the trigger. What a fecking shower of shit they’ve made this club look.
 
Is this really necessary? I don't "get" any hatred from his tone of voice, perhaps people project a bit too much.
Nope, not necessary at all. Just exasperated that he's still the manager when he's been dragging us through the mud. Nothing personal against him and I wouldnt give a feck about what he does or how well he does once he's gone.
 
Jose is in sabotage mode. Instead of doing his job, he is adding fuel to the toxic fire that he lit up to burn each and every bridge down to leave before Xmas and get his dozen million quid. Let us see how Woody reacts.
 
He is two and a half seasons in, with £300m spent. We had a better squad than Arsenal last season and that hasn't changed, but look at the difference. This is basically him admitting that he has failed at the club.
 
A miracle to get 4th, a week into December, as a Man Utd manager who has spent 100s of millions, and finished 2nd last year.

The Moyesification is complete. This guy needs to spend tonnes more than anyone else to have a chance.

Roll on a manager who can get the best out of players, and has some sort of idea what's he trying to do.
