Hmm Champions League draw sees Liverpool v Bayern Munich-we'll take that, at least avoided Real and Barcelona for now. Should be an interesting two games.

- they ignored him.Most likely because a few must haves havent worked out

The Glazers expert football family members said - that might endanger our dividends

I have always stated that the Glazers have been bad news for United, Woodward is a clueless chump who thinks he knows better than JM, but who appointed him?

Having said that, it looks like JM is treading water until his P45 lands on his desk. On paper we do have a fairly decent squad, under JM's tenure they look and play like a hungover pub team, the football was crap under Moyes and LVG, it's sunk to a new low with JM.

Who will take over? Dunno, Zidane is still being touted. If he does take the role, or if any half-decent manager takes it, then he will have to make it clear to the board that HE picks the players for the club to sign, and not some jumped up accountant who is clearly well out of his depth.

They could do well with Bielsa

Special One gone with immediate effect!

We could all see it coming but I thought not this side of the New Year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46603018

Maybe his replacement is waiting in reception.

Come on BBC, get your story straight. Has he been sack or has he left the club?

Don't give a monkey's if Leeds ever get out of The Championship, but that vid & song is genious. Thanks judy84

Thank you Ed Woodward, best decision you have ever made. Now make another one and Appoint a Director of Football, and just concentrate on making vast amounts of money for him to spend!

Michael Carrick " Acting Interim Manager" untill a "Temporary Manager" is Appointed untill the end of season, in the next 48 hours, whatever all that means. Perhaps he will just take training for a couple of days.

I wonder if those players stalling on new contracts, will now sign. Also perhaps some players will actually start playing.

Come On You Reds

Ah Yes,The Mourinho effect...He can improve a team's performance just by walking out the door..

**Meini Again** · December 18th, 2018, 10:16 AM

Hmmmm ....

Well, might as well use this old Jose quote again ~ and again ~ and again:

"The richest managers are the ones that are sacked most often"

Earlier this season I actually half-believed he was trying to prove his old axiom true

**Meini Again** · December 18th, 2018, 10:40 AM

In less than 3 Hours, the betting market has gone hyper..... about the future Manager, not the interim one.

Blanc come low at 6/4... from 11/2
Zidane drifting away now 4/1

Wenger

now 16/1 from 25 or 30/1

Ancelotti / LEnrique / Simeone all drifting away

Rodgers seems to be getting popular, from 100/1 to 16/1 in just a few hours.

We've got months of this to come.

Not to mention the TV Pundits / the bloggers / the journos.... ugh
