    £25 million to sack Jose now...
    £18 million to sack him when top four or CL qualification is mathematically impossible...

    So if he gets top 4 are they going to keep him?

    He won't get top four, he will be gone in the summer.

    Then why don’t they just move him on now? For £7m it’d be worth it for morale.

    Wow, he still can’t break the third year in charge of a club curse.
    It’s gotta be his last managerial role at an English club surely.

    It's a mirror image of what happened to him at your club, sacked almost on the same date.

    I don’t know many Chelsea fans who were unhappy to see him go.
    Overrated egotistical jackass imo.

    I backed him initially and did OK in the first two years though end of last season cracks began to appear with him knocking players. The writing was on the wall this preseason in the States, he was contiued to put down players, I gave him the benefit of the doubt though losing away to West Ham a few months ago was the final straw, it was obvious after that lacklustre performance he had lost some of the team. Jose has been a wrecking ball, credit to the club for acting now, there was word that they almost sacked him two months ago though Gary Nevile made a statement backing him which rallied some support for Jose.

    I’d laugh if Antonio Conte went to Man Utd.
    Jose Mourinho is...
    ‘The Special One...at getting sacked.’

    Coming to your club for a maximum of two and a half years.

    Caretaker manager already lined up to take over in 48 hours until end of the season, my first guesses are Hiddink or Wenger.

    Gary Nevilles response to Pogba deleted Tweet was 'Caption this' you do one as well

    From a notification I got from Sky Sports it will be Carrick who will be in charge until the end of the season.

    Only 48 hours for Carrick then an interim manager is coming in. Carrick is just taking a few training sessions over next two days.

    I think he should manage a smaller club. His tactics are better suited for avoiding relegation.

    I think I read somewhere that Wenger himself has said he won't manage an English club again. Would hate to see him at United!
