i stand corrected.
i still hold mourinho highly as a manager. i was a fan of him ever since his first stint at chelsea. he locked horns with SAF and even managed wins against him. back then, i was really hoping that mou would take over once SAF retired.
i standby my opinion that 11 world class/ star/ international players on the pitch can have a mind of their own regardless of what tactics and style mou plays. the blame goes down to the players as well. when you have idiots like lukaku whose first touch ends up on the M25 for sanchez to chase or doing stupid flicks and losing the ball, it's hard to say that the fault goes entirely to mourinho.

I liked Mou at every club he's managed so far (esp. Real Madrid!) but his spell at United is the worst. By far. I dunno what happened to him and his magic but his team performed awfully week after week and it's the right decision finally to get rid of him. Though, if ManUnited wants to return to where they were during SAF's reign they also need to replace some chairmen as well.

Thank god.
Blame Mou…blame the players....blame the establishment as a whole....either way you cut it this move was mandatory.

Whilst we are talking of top rank teams, take a look the Gosport Borough team listing.

All 5 of them, my fave, of course, is Pussy Slayer

I see 'pussy slayer' also plays for the Ladies team, so maybe they're a bit of a masochist to (football) boot.

Interesting. Reminds me of the Presbyterian College whose athletes call themselves 'The Blue Hose'. Yes, the women's teams as well.

Man how can you not be a fan of Klopp? I think he's a great manager.
I don't think it's too early to call it, Liverpool definitely look to be favorites to win it this year.

United need to do everything they can to sign Kalidou Koulibaly. He is exactly what we need right now.

i'll agree with the fact they are playing better. no more lukaku takes a touch and dribbles to london, more of one touch and go. but in all honesty as a united fan, the past few games should be wins regardless of mou or solskjaer. the real test is next week against spurs which will tell what difference he brings to the table..

It's not mandatory that ManUnited is delivering exciting performances after the SAF era again. World class coaches like LvG and Mou failed at this task. Of course Solskjaer's team needs to show good performances against bigger clubs as well but if it does I don't see anything against him continuing being United's manager.

This is such an old and tired argument that has been regurgitated by a few pundits in the media over and over that I completely disagree with. These are wins a United side SHOULD win but under Mou they were wins that we were never guaranteed. Let's be honest here. You're blind or just being stubborn if you can't say that you see any difference that Ole has brought to the table thus far. The difference is night and day.
I'm not getting excited just yet either as I do agree we haven't had a real test thus far, but to say that we have to wait until the game at Wembley to see the real difference that Ole has made is absurd. We have won 5 in a row, won several of them in old United fashion, kept two clean sheets, outscored opponents 16-3, and probably more important than anything we are playing with smiles on our faces and a freedom and confidence that we never had under Mou.
