Can't see Southgate leaving England for United, especially in their current state. Same with Allegri. Why leave a club doing so well and top of the league. I could see Simeone taking it though if offered but think Blanc will be a strong contender and must tick a lot of the boxes for the board. Big job for whoever and becoming a bit of a poisoned chalice these days

Honestly theirs "gamesmanship" is up there with the best but they aren't a great side and can be got at. It's not a write off game IMO .

Some wag has just pointed out that Moyes still has 5 months left on his Utd contract and is available.
Biggest loser, also lifted from the internet, The Lowry Hotel in Manchester where Mourinho has been staying. Without room service included the estimate for his stay is around £500k. Considering the housing available in the area I am amazed that he chose to stay in there for the duration. Cheaper to rent a mansion and hire a cleaner and cook.
Had heard that United picked up the tab. First 3 months was on them while he considered relocating from London, but then he convinced them to keep it running.
Still crazy though. No form of home life either. Anyone who has spent time in a hotel, even a nice one, knows it feels odd.

Agreed. He had a few rooms knocked into 1 as well, so it was basically a large suite, but as you say a rather odd environment to be in for 2 years.
He also made all their home games pre match meetings with the squad at a Manchester hotel, rather than at the ground which I found odd. Maybe he was employed by Manchester Council with the sole aim of keeping the hotel trade thriving.

I'm not disappointed to see him go. He won 3 trophies in his first season and i was hopeful, but at the end , we are now an utter shower of a team who can't string passes together. I'd love Allegri but I wouldnt say no to Roberto Martinez. I think his teams are good in possession and try and play attacking football and that's what we need. As for Southgate, Giggs et al. No thank you !

Roberto Martinez? People forgetting what he did to Everton now that he's Belgium manager. We were absolutely dreadful in his last season, constantly giving late goals away due to his awful tactics and lack of defensive understanding. United don't have the defence to play the Martinez way, he'd get them playing some nice attacking football but not convinced he's good enough to turn United around.

As a Saints fan I would be delighted if Utd went for either Klopp or Poch then you can feel what it's like to be in our shoes

Genuine question because I personally think it’s fine that we get so much abuse because success brings that but - how did you feel over your lifetime seeing the abuse LFC have taken when you’ve never seen them successful in a sustained fashion?
Doesn’t it make you a bit more restrained to mock your rivals when, at this stage, you’ve done nothing of note even though it’s the best team you’ve seen LFC have that you can genuinely remember?
As biased as you might think I am, you can’t deny I’m pessimistic as hell about Man Utd and don’t big us up where it isn’t justified. If I was a LFC fan, I’d be somewhat reserved about gloating because it generally ends in tears.

Umm I’m not sure how old you think I am but I have seen us have success over a significant about of time - and I’m not sure you are getting “abuse†- it’s just funny mash ups of Mourinho getting sacked.
I’m not sure how you have got gloating from a video taking the Micheal out of Maureen getting fired ?
Are you not right now reading a touch more into just a funny video which is all it is.
I’m sure I remember the hundred of videos produced after Karius made his error in the CL - a good number of them were funny and many produced by Man Utd fans
Oh and I can remember a number of teams better including the best team I have seen in the top flight

I’m sure I remember you and a few others not taking the banter so well when it’s aimed at you 😳

Exactly my point. Short memories.

I do apologise if I’m remembering you wrong, I thought you were about 40-45.
This isn’t an isolated example - you are very quick to laugh about Man Utd from a position of lower standing.

Yes I’m over 45 and certainly remember the 80’s but I’m sure you don’t want a history lesson of football in the 80’s.
Why i and it appears lots of others laugh at Man Utd when things go wrong - Man Utd fans not exactly free of guilt - they even sing about Liverpool in games when they aren’t even playing against Liverpool - there has been a lot of arrogance from some Utd fans over the past 20 years - so when Utd start going through manager after manager spending money after money and it all not working them fingers will be pointed at them and people will laugh at them - it’s nothing different to what they have done over the years.
But that’s all part and parcel of the sport now - only have to look at what a Chelsea fan posts on here , suspect 90% of his posts are directed at Liverpool - most just ignore it.
No one is posting anything personal or insulting - it’s just funny vids being sent around the Internet. Guess you need to suck it up a little and get used to it - don’t expect it will stop at any point soon

Let the Liverpool fans have their fun we are not even at Xmas yet.
Fair play to Klopp for getting them up there but you get the same for 2nd as 4th.

It’s the way you throw one of your hissy fits if anyone has a laugh at your expense or even dares to link a Liverpool player with another club.
Which usually ends with you getting egg on your face 😂
