Will be interesting to see what Jose has to say .

Unless of course he’s got such a large pay off to keep Schtum .

Conte must be favourite I’d if thought .

Part of any pay off he will get will include an NDA. Same as most manager sackings.

Interesting that Carrick is interim , interim manager with an appointment to be made in the next 48 hours. Wonder who they will be going for ? Hughes, Pardew, Fat Sam ?

Interesting shout.

In all seriousness, the hierarchy love Poch - will be an interesting few months.

Great news. I've followed United for 45 years and he's the only manager we've had who I disliked and wanted fired since day 1. Why we ever took him on when it was obvious he'd already lost-it I'll never know.

[Blackpuddin]

At this stage you could see them going for someone less 'starry', someone the players might get behind for footballling rather than ego reasons, maybe Eddie Howe or Sean Dyche.

Wow.
To be honest I was doing the calculations yday, £12m you get if you get in the champs league.

He weren’t getting top 4.

Sacked = £20m payout?

If someone gets top 4 for you there’s £12m of it repaid.
Quick maths. Big Shaq.

That ship has sailed

13 points to third.
63 points to play for.
I personally wouldn’t say so.

De Gea, Valencia, Bailey, Lindeloff, Shaw, Matic, Herrer, Pogba, Mata, Martial, Lukaku.

Someone will make that team play.

I’d recommend the custard with the humble pie. But you strike me as one of those tts that’s never wrong. Merry Xmas and all that.

In an industry which is all about hire and fire, with a club that was used to success that is enjoying one of the worst seasons in PL history, after embarrassing losses in the last month, and Mourinho looking to alienate fans, players and the board in equal measures - I can't see any evidence to support your bolt from the blue. Well done, you pulled one out of left field there.

Frank O'Farrell?

Well he’s going going to be on the list and approached. Like it or not. Should be slightly destabilising at the very least.

[Thankyou4calling]

Wenger is available

Please No.. they’d be way over their heads.

[jammy-git]

Alpine - who is the external interim manager who's going to be brought in in 2 days?

[southendpier]

Big Sam, because of relegation worries?

[bstb3]

Apparently Moyes' original contract would still have 5 months to run... just sayin

I've heard the smiling German will be approached first.

No idea.

Poch, Zidane and Giggs were discussed as potential permanents a few months ago. But I don’t know where the thinking is now.

Tony Pulis - he can save anyone from the drop.
