Sack him and bring Mourinho back

I heard name like Xabi Alonso being mentioned as if he would pick us instead of Liverpool, Mourinho is the only one available for us right now.

Won't work. He is not the Jose of before, and these are not his type of players.

Would just tarnish his reputation.

Even though I’m a “Poch in” guy, I must admit, today felt like a turning point. Poch lost a lot of support today from the fans.

Im beginning to wonder whether Poch has spent 7 months with this squad and is struggling to get anything out of them. 

Exactly how I feel mate, I think this game is the turning point. Kind of like Potter with Southampton last season, the general consensus is Poch out now. 

And I get it tbh, even though I don't think we should sack him, the fact is the performances just aren't good enough and Poch is doing a poor job. 

On borrowed time now.. has failed in his job.. he doesn’t take bold decisions and that is his problem. He takes the easy option and since it’s largely young players he gets by..

 I would either play a back 3 or drop Silva.. Sterling is as sh*t as Madueke or Mudryk.. won’t drop him.. doesn’t play players in their position.. 

I don’t know where we go from here.. the squad is bereft of confidence

I don't think it's a case of we can't afford to sack Poch, if we want to sack him we'll sack him. I firmly believe that it will happen tomorrow, as Chelsea fans we've seen enough final match performances from a manager and today's was one of the more obvious ones.

You might be right. If not tomorrow, then possibly after the Villa game (assuming we lose that one). At that point I assume the owners would be taking a chance that a change of manager might still be able to salvage a European spot from the remainder of the season. But could you really see an interim appointment doing that? Most likely it would end like last season with things getting even worse. Alternatively perhaps they will hire a full time replacement (on at least 18 month deal) meaning they have somebody lined up and ready to go. Seems unlikely they are that prepared but who knows?

Ah we should at least allow him to lose yet another final. Do we really want the next manager to begin his time with losses at City and the league cup final?

Well originally I had thought that they would either give him until the end of the season, or at least wait until after the League Cup final. But then I remembered how they got rid of Potter not long after we had beaten Dortmund, and brought in Lampard to manage us before the Real Madrid games. So who knows?

Lamps was only ever temporary, if we go for say a Flick now and want him for longer than we wanted Lamps, and he gets thrashed by City and Pool then he done early

That is certainly a risk, and I think if a new manager was brought in now, it would be difficult for them to change much quickly. I know it happened before (e.g. RDM, Guus) but in those cases we had a squad full of leaders. We just don't have that now. That being said if we do change the manager before the end of the season it would be better to appoint somebody full time. At least that way the players know they would be playing for their spots next season, rather than going on summer break early like they did under Lamps.

He is still the same Jose , just different club

United and spurs remain sh*t without him , i can see Roma will as well 

If any he overachieved with all of them judging from the circumstances he had to face there

 

But most importantly, he is better than poch and that's what we should care about

I love Jose, but I don't see him being interested in this project.

However, with Roman no longer being owner he might contemplate a return in the right circumstances.

Personally I would rather be a laughing stock under Pochettino than a laughing stock under Jose. He deserves better, and imo he cannot fix this.

Usually I don't entertain "IDK" tweets but by the looks of it she broke the Potter news early.

This club is not fun. 

The fact we haven’t heard anything from the club speaks volumes.

Is this useless pratt still at the club?

Only issue with him getting sacked is it means Boehly, Winstanley et al will have to make a decision on who to replace him with, and they'll probably f**k that up too.

Jose had chemistry with Roman, although there were some bad ones he'd come back for the big man if the offer is right. He has seen what happened with the club in the last 18 months, no chance he'd settle with a job that focus on youth development and profit. Would he do a better job than Poch? Most likely. Would he risk it one more time for very little return? I doubt, in his mind he's still the special one, not a manager simply out of options

He would but I don’t want him, coming a 3rd time & failing which is inevitable would break him mentally IMO. He is out of options though, and his stock is probably at his lowest. Think the only links are with clubs in the Middle East. Didn’t he cry when he was sacked by Roma? He is the last person you want to be bringing into the club.

So about a year ago the common belief was it was all Potters fault.

All those players signed, including a British record world cup winner.

Still all his fault?

Potter? It was worse than this 

Not to make yet another excuse for him as even with the players we have we should still be doing a bit better but you can see how much better United look when they have their players fit and are able to put out their strongest XI. 

If we didn't have half the team out I would like to think we would be in a better spot.

I wouldn't want Jose back but I always thought Conte did a professional job... whether he could do it again who knows...

To be a fly on the wall when Conte demands Lautaro Martinez or some other established player and is instead offered a collection of three teenagers with 200 minutes of professional football under their belts between them.

If this was Roman his helicopter would be arriving at Cobham right about now, let's hope this lot do the same.

I think they should stick with him till the end of the season but prepare the ground for someone new... like the Dippers are doing...

 

Be another media fiasco if they sack him now
