Re: Breaking news: Mourinho sacked
Why does the BBC football page always have an article about ManU and Mourinho?
It's the same bias they used to post Nigeria articles on BBC African Sport.

Re: Breaking news: Mourinho sacked
Fair points Paul merson but you dont understand what a bad dressing room can do for one confidence, the players for the last couple of weeks did not have a clue about Mourinho tactics, there was too much toxicity in that club, same reason why Chelsea found themselves at 15th or 17th position before Mourinho was sacked, football has changed from the Paul Merson days sadly, back in the days, if a manager could not command the respect of his players, they resign!Kevin keegan did it, Redknapp did it, loads of old school managers did it as well, once billions were pumped into the game, everyone became a mercenary including the managers, why did Mourinho not resign at the start of the season when the board refused to give him money? has anyone looked into this angle?cic old boy wrote:Was that the question?

I would have given him his due respect for taking a stance, its not like he was lacking for money, a couple of weeks ago, he said he was not scared of losing his job as it will be too expensive to sack him, he became to erratic, playing midfielders in central defence to create a stance to the board, it did not have to be like this
Merson talks about Valencia but the rot was already settled ages before that, in that famous Newcastle game, 2 nil down, 2nd half when Pogba had to play like a quarter back so to speak, dragged united back to the equaliser.
So much money, the players are getting paid in a week what we can never get in a life time, rules have changed, they have to be treated differently, you dont fight the marquee names, they will get you sacked, its that simple, pick a fight with Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbappe, kane, Pogba, Hazard, sorry there will only be one winner unless your name is Zidane!
as they said, its easier to get rid of a manager than sacking 25 players, these player are a brand, million followers in social media and what not, gone are the days when John Barnes was the highest paid player in the Uk on 10K pounds a week around 1989! or when Christian Vieri got transferred for something like 12 million and the pope had to make a statement haha!
try 180 million pounds and let that sink in!
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!

And also why did the board extend his contract after they refused to back him with players that he wanted.
Because you one could tell from pre season that all was not well

He signed a new contract in Jan 2018. It was later - summer 2018 - that the board refused to buy him new players. I don't think walking away was an option unless a better job was waiting for him.benteke wrote: Yes i have also been asking me myself why he did not just leave instead of damaging his reputation.

Re: Breaking news: Mourinho sacked
fired for parking the bus, the players had to throw him under the bus, i hope he learns, if you go to a club with a strong footballing tradition, if you decide to change , better make sure it works or revert back to the status quo!

Re: Breaking news: Mourinho sacked
Yes but the so called list that he always talks about was passed on earlier or so, he always talked about his list and some 5 months ago if I'm following events correctly.cic old boy wrote:He signed a new contract in Jan 2018.

The is one thing that stood out for me, i was surprised to see them renewing the contract so early

But tfco has a point sha. Mourinho has won trophies with Man U during the same period that Poch and Dean won nothing .
His main issue is that he is too troublesome...

Firing Mourinho for negative football should tell you that at Manchester United, it is not just about winning just any trophy.
