Well not yet, but there are rumblings that the axe is going to fall in no more than 48 hours with Mourinho to take over.
Right move? Well of course it is.

You dickhead
Kiko's going to have a breakdown when he sees this.
If Mourinho goes to United within days/weeks of leaving Chelsea and wins them the title the Chelsea seethe will be something to behold.
I hope you're willing to take on the bill to get Kiko's computer fixed, you nugget.
Poor show.
It'd be fucking hilarious if Mourinho takes over and does even worse.
Yeah because we've never had pre-emptive threads before.
Robert Mugabe and Paul Ince are still alive ffs.
SvN.
Mourinho getting the bullet at Chelsea actually gives Man Utd the perfect out, if they've been wanting to bin Van Gaal and only haven't to save from admitting they made a cock up. 'There was nobody better available, now there is', and a contract for Mourinho would overshadow anyone looking to bleat about Woodward being a wanker.
Leicester are great, but Mourinho getting sacked by Chelsea and going immediately to United would be the best thing to happen this season.
Mourinho will come in and guide them to an 8th place finish and everyone will finally get off his dick.
Bring back fergie
Why were you previously opposed to Jose (might as well start calling him that), Mahow, you e-pimp?
It was a mix of not appreciating him (I loathed him but he's won me over now) and I just thought that his brand of football would be eye bleedingly shit at United. However, his style can't be worse than Van Gaal's possession bollocks.Originally Posted by Lewis
He's won you over after his biggest spell of being a brat?
I think it's more just me being used to it now and/or not caring as much.
Really got to get this done pronto so he can be in charge for the game on the 28th.
Get Bielsa in before Swansea do. Actually, Bielsa would be a quality interim manager to get because if he only had half a season, he wouldn't have time to knacker his players.
If Mourinho does go there I have to just warn United fans about one thing, which people on the outside don't seem to notice - your full backs will never cross the halfway line again.
That's Phil Jones out the door then.
I can actually see Mourinho succeeding with United.
There isn't really anybody for him to fall out with at United. The 'powerful' players (Rooney and Carrick) are almost done, there isn't a Director of Football to speak of, and the owners aren't all that overbearing. I suppose Ryan Giggs might get the arse if Rui Faria nicks his sitting and doing nothing brief, but fuck him.
He'd fall out with anyone upstairs who started telling him what to do, which they would. They're like New Labour ministers.
Also Bobby Charlton hates him.
Bobby Charlton probably hates all foreigners though.
Ferguson seems to be the only person in football/in the world he defers to, so he could calm him down/have Bobby Charlton killed if it came to it. It's perfect. The only concern is how you will hold up should it happen. If you're going to have a MELTDOWN, have it on Twitter and don't tarnish your memory here.
Giggs will be gone by boxing day so that's another worry out of the way.
I said last time that they weren't going to appoint him when everyone (including Mourinho himself) was convinced they were, and sure enough they appointed Moyes and Jose had a serious MELTDOWN before turning up at Chelsea with his tail between his legs. If they appoint him this time it'll be out of pure desperation.
Juan Mata must be seething.
Jim- you seem to credit the board or Ed with any sort of planning it forward thinking. It's all big names, big plans and ultimately big failure.
@Mahow - sort out the fucking title of this thread. He's not sacked, you mug.
I've been reading Red Cafe recently and there's a lot of hate for Giggs which I'm surprised to see.
Why is this?
- Being part of Moyes / LVG's set up?
- Being gifted the job of assistant manager with no real experience?
Being a bit of a hanger on, presumably. Fan opinion on legendary ex-players will swing incredibly quickly if they get involved in coaching and don't seem to be much cop.
Because redcafe is full of fucking morons. It's essentially become the United equivalent of RAWK since Fergie and success departed.
The Sun
He'd supposed to have had dinner with Roma, breakfast with Hiddink... it's amazing he's got time to stroll about in a baseball cap like a divorced dad.
I thought he was holding a gun there for a moment. Could sort of imagine him going on a murderous rampage.

Anyone know how legit Ogden is?
I read yesterday that his own representatives had approached United and that he'd told Roma where to go. Roma would be a nice job for him (he's be a hero of Chelsea proportions if he won Serie A there) so I assume he has been told there's a good chance of the United job.
Guardian: van Gaal "may only have two games to save his job". http://www.theguardian.com/football/...-pep-guardiola
I think if they sacked him, appointed Giggs as interim manager, and offered Pep the job with the budget van Gaal has had then he'd accept.
Funny how all these stories are popping out at the same time. Almost as if Ed Woodward has been busy.
Of course his representatives have contacted United, he's absolutely gagging for the job. They'll leave van Gaal in a little longer though.
I haven't yet read anything that suggests United are up for it, it all comes from his end.
Chelsea have made a complete cunt of this, shock horror. Always the way once Abramovich starts getting personally involved.
Graham Hunter says Pep wants United then Brazil in 2022 World Cup. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03c9gn3
What sort of twat flags themselves up as future Brazil manager without having any connections to the country?
Ogden is, and always has been, reliable. He's not been a mouthpiece anymore since the Fergie days (correct me if I'm wrong, ITKiko), but he's always had well-placed sources and doesn't write total shit.
Even when the things he writes about don't happen (Thiago, Bale), he's written them on solid intel, not pure speculation.
How impressive has Pep been at Bayern Munich?
Having watched 0 German football I have no real idea how he has got on. I've just had a quick look at their past 5 seasons (league table, cup positions etc.) and from that I'd say he's done a good job but not outstanding. Is that fair?
Short of retaking the Sudentenland your options to excel are a bit limited at Bayern.
Getting bummed in the Champion League does push them a bit towards failure corner.
This "we'll sack him if he loses one of the next two" is all a bit bollocks. The horse has clearly bolted; just get it over with. Delaying benefits no one, and only hurts the squad in the long run.
Aye. Look at Newcastle. Saw two tough games and made them must wins, and baldy island Mac only went and bloody won them.
That's just paper shite though, the board won't have actually given him that ultimatum.
Either way, they are 4pts off 2nd, there is no way he is being sacked now.
It's paper shite fed from Woodward. He loves opening his mouth.
