****! Didn't expect that to happen today!

DM_7 · 18-12-2018 10:52AM

He is gone, happy he is gone but not happy it worked out like this. It is best for the club and for Jose himself.

RobbingBandit · 18-12-2018 10:52AM

What have we done

BenK · 18-12-2018 10:52AM

Interesting times ahead now regardless!

Hococop · 18-12-2018 10:53AM

Right call but still need Ed to go back to commercial role and a new dof

secman · 18-12-2018 10:53AM

Well , well.... can't say its not deserved. Always a bad fit.

Roger Hassenforder · 18-12-2018 10:53AM

Cant be any worse...

Can it?

Fook - that came out of nowhere.

I know plenty have been calling for it for MONTHS. but if you look at the press there wasn't a single report of him being sacked this week - all had him in situ for a while yet.

I'm in shock tbh.

Looks like Woody learned his lesson from leaking it so many times.

Caaretaker manager to the end of the season. Not a fan of that, but I do understand why, to a degree.

I don't like caretaker managers - it does nothing to cement the future of the current players. Wonder who it will be, too.

You'd have to think Carrick/McKenna duo - can't see us bringing in an outsider as a caretaker.

Comic Book Guy · 18-12-2018 10:56AM

I can't believe a modicum of leadership has been shown upstairs.

Make a good decision for once.

Bad fit. Plenty of other issues but this was one of them. Good move.

Vicxas · 18-12-2018 10:57AM

Wow, as much as Utd fans have been calling for that id didn't expect it before the end of the season.

Giggsy 'till the end of the season...

Mantis Toboggan · 18-12-2018 10:57AM

Too little too late Woodward

Liam McPoyle · 18-12-2018 10:57AM

Arry winning I'm a celebrity showed the board he still has it.

Not that surprising given the criticism the board came under over how they handled the sackings of the last two managers. They were never going to give the media even the slightest hint this time.

sReq | uTeK · 18-12-2018 10:58AM

Wow.

I tell you fookin what, If the players don't show up now in the interim or under a new manager I'd play the entire reserve team in league.

No Excuses now.

ollkiller · 18-12-2018 10:58AM

Thank the baby Jeebus.

yermandan · 18-12-2018 10:58AM

Club is in an absolute shamles

Beechwoodspark · 18-12-2018 10:58AM

Nice early Christmas pressie

Never wanted him. Knew he’d ruin us. Glad to see him gone. The whole thing was a disaster.

20 Times 20 Times · 18-12-2018 10:58AM

Bitter sweet moment is how I can describe this.

SURELY , there is a plan in place.

Something, which is better than nothing.
Remains to be seen if it's followed by another good decision

Caretaker boss until end of season according to BBC football harks back to the 70/80s pre fergie days we are midtable also rans that can't attract anyone.

Loafing Oaf · 18-12-2018 11:00AM

So I guess we know why ed wood had his hand over his mouth talking to sir Bobby at the weekend

Mitch Connor · 18-12-2018 11:01AM

more i think of it, the less I like the idea of a caretaker manager. Regardless of the manager in charge, I think we need a CB signing - but I cna't see the club doing anything in January when we don't have anyone, properly, in charge. Its going to be this set of players, no more or less, through to the end of the season.

I also know that getting a first choice could be impossible, and thats why we'd wait, but I just think there has to be people we could and should bring in (Jardim, Zidane.... I still think Howe could be a great pickup) and would allow us to properly move on, immediately. Maybe do someting in January, maybe help in getting DDG and Martial signed to new contracts, maybe see something we expect from Pogba etc... A caretaker manager leaves us stagnating for another 6 months.

How Soon Is Now · 18-12-2018 11:01AM

Let's see how Carrick does.

Whatsisname · 18-12-2018 11:02AM

I feel a caretaker manager until the end of the season means we're going after Poch.

Which I would personally be quite happy with as an appointment, providing a DOF is in place.
