Like I have said further down the page, I may not think Jose can win us the league but I will still support him as long as he is in charge of us. I think Jose is a very good manager just not right for us. A Manchester United manager is expected to play football the right way in keeping with our traditions. He must also hold himself with decorum and not act in a classless manner. But me thinking he should be replaced does not mean that I won’t praise him when he does something good or criticise him when he makes a mistake. It’s a game of opinions and we are lucky we have fans on this platform offering theirs even if they are polar opposites.

It is not pretty what Jose is doing but it is clear for the moment the board support him and will get rid of players he does not want. I think we have to appreciate this because some of these players feel they can down tools and then the manager will take the flack. Some of these players should never have been bought in the first place as they do not have the mentality to play for united. So if that means Jose has to cull them and buy players who he believes are right for the system then so be it. I am pretty confident that when Jose goes the squad he leaves will be an enticing one for any new that eventually takes up the reigns. He is not going to get us playing us the style of football we crave but results wise we have improved so let’s be grateful for that. We have no divine right to win any trophies. But look at the standards of our club that we have won 3 trophies in the last 2 seasons yet we don’t settle for that. Whereas spurs and Liverpool haven’t yet they are very content with the way things are going. Yes they are teams on the up but let’s see this as a positive that we won’t be satisfied till we win the title and European cup. Jose whether you like him or not has those burning ambitions. It’s just the way he does it does not resonate well with myself or other fans.

We must remember we are All Manchester United fans first. So we must support the team every time they step on the field, no matter who has been selected. Even if it is Fellaini playing for us I will support him ( trust me is is very very difficult) . So until Jose leaves he will have my support because that is the right thing to do, whether I like him or results go our way or not.

Great post Park3lung. Its very difficult to find a combination of both style and trophies. City have done that with Pep but the others have not.

I would take a trip to Wembley and a 2nd place right now to Liverpool's style but no substance (lost 4 pts to us this year. Created nothing at Old Trafford) . Would anyone want to finish 4th and win nothing like Spurs?

All I want right now from Jose is to keep making the tough decisions and leave a good squad for when he goes and instill some belief and character.
