rahter than asking who we want as next manager maybe we should be we should be asking since Jose took over have we made progression? have we improved since the days of the great one.

he took over a team in absolute dire need of some organisation, under LVG and Moyes we were a shambles at the back, we got beat easy on far to many occasions under the 2 previous managers before jose took over, we the position we finished on speaks for itself.

the fact the squad overall was not left in a great state, our leaders had left, the core spine of the team left, our so called superstars were coming to the end of there time, there peak years were gone.

YES the football at times this season, mainly the last few months has been dull and unattractive, but until we hit that tough few games the back of i think October where we drew a few in a row we were not playing that bad, we got injuries to pogba, bailly, players form dropped, surely the manager isn't at fault for that


thats not saying we could be better
but the table does not lie, we are clearly making progress under Jose, and with a few tweaks here and there and some luck with injuries we might have that team to be able to challenge,

in hind sight we haven't had a bad season, i think city's dominance has made everyone pannick like no tomorrow.

i keep seeing posts about how liverpool and spurs play this amazing football that's out of this world yet both sit below us as it stands.

this amazing football also has them on less wins that us and more draws.

SPURS have scored one more goal than us playing this amazing football yet sit 4 points behind and are still on less goal difference.


i for one don't see why most people are calling for his head, tbh i think its a bit embarrassing, were having our best season in 5 years,

were a miles better team since jose took over and i for one i'm glad his been given another contract,

if the players don't like what there being asked of the BOSS then just like any other job they can find a new one.

No Bolger, you are wrong. You are on the wrong page. We cannot support the manager on this page. Its doom United on here. We need to sack him now. Then get Poch, sack him October because we are sure to be unhappy about something. Then get in god himself and give him the sack because he subbed off Shaw at half time.

Bolger, you make a good point. We are a better team now results wise than we were under LvG. And we play slightly better football.

If I was to rate the club under LvG, performance would be 1 out of 10, results would have been 5 out of 10.

Under Mourinho I would say performance 3 out of 10, results 7 out of ten.

So he has improved the team a bit. But there is far more scope for improvement. The question is if it's taken 300m to get the club to improve the small amount it has, how much more will it take to get the club where we want to be? Another 300m? 500m? 1b? And how many more years?

Mourinho tends to peak in his second year and implode in his third, that's next season.

The real questions should be how much more can Mourinho improve this team and how long will it take, and how much will it cost?

i agree shappy that the performances haven't been consistent enough, but in brief spells we have seen what we can do.

i think what hasn't helped its what pep has done with city, there football this season has been different gravy.

we needed a lot of investment, our midfield was crying out for changes before moyes took over as was the defence.

players who we bought under fergie to replace the likes of rio, and vidic have not worked out.

its difficult to make an argument in regards to money, players who would have cost 30 million 10 years ago are now going for 60.

but nether the less we still need to strengthen in areas, we have a lot of young players, if we get the right balance and we can find that click I've no doubt we can over throw city.

im just not jumping on the whole jose out bandwagon, were having our best prem season in 5 years, in the fa cup semi. not a disaster of a season.

as much as a disappointment it was to lose against sevilla s**t happens that's football, city got beat against wigan its not the end of the world.

use never know jose mnight read this site and we might throw the kitchen sink at city when we play them, nothing else to lose.

Bolger, you say we need a lot of players to be a strong team. Many people say a team is only as strong as its spine. Well Mourinho has brought in two CB's in Bailly and Lindelof, two midfielders in Matic and Pogba, and two strikers in Zlatan and Lukaku. As well as signing two wingers in Mkhitaryan and Sanchez. That's to add to players like DDG, Valencia, Shaw, Rashford and Martial. One of those is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world and two are previously world record fees paid for teenagers.

That is a lot of investment, and there are few areas Jose could argue he hasn't been able to improve with signings. Mostly the full back areas. Better full backs would improve us, but how much?

If we buy better full backs and the performance level doesn't dramatically improve then what area of the team could be described as an inherited weakness that Mourinho has to deal with?

Has Jose done an awful job? No he hasn't, but neither has he done a great job. That's why some people are starting to question him.

bailly has been injured most of the season, lindelof is still adapting, zlatan has been injured all season and we swapped miki for sanchez. carrick jones all been injured.

we have no squad dept. were playing two wingers as full backs because the full backs we have are not good enough, martial is hit a miss as is rashford which is expected as they are young.



i agree that once the squad is complete the performances have to be that level where expecting but other teams around us are also going to improve.

money is irreverent, were assuming because a 20 year old cost 60 million he is the finished article.
