Mourinho just wants to sabotage this and be sacked.
There’s no doubt in my mind whatsoever that he’s had enough of fighting and is simply trying to engineer the biggest payout by making them sack him while we’re still in the CL and mathematically the title race (even though they are both extremely unlikely). 6th is the best you can realistically achieve now and there are plenty snapping at your heels. He should be sacked and get your new man in now. Gives him 6 months to play around and work out who needs to go (pretty much the whole squad), identify targets and get prepped for 2019/20.
Nothing to be gained by trying to save a few quid on Mourinho’s pay off by waiting until CL football is mathematically out of reach.

Stupid as it is, I still can't see them getting rid of him yet. Ed sitting scowling in the stands next to Sir Bobby, hopefully getting a flea in his ear the whole game, but probably knows he can't afford to push him out. Euch.
We are going to lose De Gea and Martial at this rate, why on earth would they stay for this shambles if the club can't demonstrate the integrity it is supposed to have and deal with it.

Aren’t both out of contract soon? I know that the option has been exercised on DeGea but that’s only a year and then he leaves for free.

Yes, think there is still a one year extension on Martial to be taken up too (may be wrong there), but the club will be risking them both going for free in 18 months if they can't get a new contract sorted. Right now, why would they sign? Could be £100m+ of talent walking for free, that's good economics by the Board.bstb3 said:

If I was one of the few world class players there, I’d be handing in a formal transfer request now. The wages will be good enough elsewhere to offset the pain of spending 18 months more in this st team. Mou is trolling us. He’s just said that the game was under control!
We have been absolutely spanked and thoroughly humiliated by the Scousers. Humiliated.
The manager should be gutted and apologising for the performance.
Please please please just sack him and make the side worth watching again!

Assuming that the board do dispense with the services of JM, who would replace him?
They’d never do it but Eddie Howe would be a fantastic appointment. Give him time and the backing to try to build a team. At least he wants to play football. Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
