Reckon there's a fairly good chance he'll be the next United manager.

Maybe.

He's a good manger and this explosion whilst hilarious happened to Klopp too. He's not my first choice, but if City do get Pep and Ancelotti does go to Bayern I'd much rather have Mourinho than Van Gaal or Giggs.

Just have to sack him before his third season.

Telegram Sam on this Arsenal forum said he expects: "Calling it now; this summer Pep will go to City, Ancelotti to Bayern, Simeone to Chelsea and - most suprisingly - Mourinho will replace the outgoing van Gaal at United."

Wouldn't be overly surprised. Yet we'll replace Arsene with Steve Bould when Wenger retires, brilliant stuff.

When it comes to the territory of most likely club to do monumentally stupid shit I think we're world leaders.

We, after all, thought David fucking Moyes was the most likely person to be able to replace Ferguson.

I can't help shake the thought that we'll appoint Giggs.

I imagine Jose will either go to PSG or maybe Portugal after the Euros. He has said he'd want to manage them someday.

People moan about LvG ruining our club, imagine if Jose got the job after him.

Madness how Mourinho is now absolutely dreadful due to the first few bad months in his entire career.

Btw - Mourinho is the same age now as Fergie was when he won his first ever Premier League title.

Is that you Piers Morgan? Hard to disagree though tbh!

Seen a lot of people saying the Carneiro thing triggered all this. While it contributed to the mess they've found themselves in been this season, that's far from true - I remember them losing to anybody and everybody in pre-season and also Arsenal in the Community Shield. Not to mention the Carneiro incident happened at the very end of a draw at home to Swansea; they were already in a bad way.

This entire season had disaster written all over it tbh.

Mourinho took a gamble to start pre-season considerably later than others to allow players extra time off. Our performances were horrendous in the friendlies, carried that into the season with fitness levels below everyone else. We failed to strengthen the squad and went ahead with what we had. Costa came back considerably out of shape, something he admit to himself. Then the Carneiro situation unfolded. Mourinho then did things like hook Terry vs City and left him out of follow up games. Singled out Hazard and Matic, subbing the later off only after 20 minutes of coming on, etc etc. The way Mourinho handled some situation left a lot to be desired. However, the players also must be at fault for being criminally underwhelming in their own right.

While I'm not 100% pleased with Mourinho's sacking, I can completely understand the reasoning behind it. He was given time to turn things around, more than any other manager would have been given. Instead, we continued to regress and slipped further down the table. The one thing that annoys me the most has been Mourinho's unwillingness to move away from the horrible 4231 system that doesn't suit any of the players we have. For someone defined in his career for being tactically astute, he's been incredibly rigid and stubborn to defer to something else in an attempt to salvage the season. For me, that's disappointing. It left the club in a pickle of a situation. Either persist with Mourinho and hope we do enough to avoid relegation, which hasn't looked the case so far. Or twist and move JM on and bring in someone new to help achieve that.

Had Mourinho stayed and the club got relegated under him it would be disastrous on a much larger scale to that of purely sacking him now.

I'm really hoping Conte is given the job. However, I think any manager coming in is going to have a challenge on their hands. We've already got a small squad that is in need of investment as it is. There's also numerous deadwood players that need to go in the summer; such as Oscar. The size of investment and transfer activity needed is one that is going to take multiple seasons to sort out. Unless Roman really opens his cheque book up and make a statement.

Hiddink confirmed.

Intrigued to see how he'll do, he's not had great success lately.

The worst thing is that I just don't care.

The relentless shit has just sucked the joy out of us. We're no fun to watch when we win, we're no fun to watch when we lose, and we're no fun when we draw.

We might come back to win, but we'll do it boringly, we might not, and that will be boring too.

You know its bad when a part of you wants Mourinho to come in because he'll improve the football we're playing.

Considering how shit his football is (barring the Real Madrid spell) it would be an improvement on this.

I hate how this isn't surprising. It's the same every week.
