Jose Mourinho said all this back in 2017.

Toxic corporate/hierearchy will always be a concern for a Manager when they take on the role, no reason Man Utd would be any different.

I've always said the Chairman/Board should be kicked out if they keep making "poor" decisions with the Managers. That way they would be more careful when making the appointments. They can still be an owner, but not influence things in any shape or form.
Don't be naive Foxy ... the top man/woman never gets the sack, there's nobody above them to sack them and as the top person they can always find someone else to blame. It's not just football, it's life!
So true.

Next manager to get sacked will be Scott Parker

If so, not sure what Burnley expect. Any newly promoted team is under the cosh. With S.P, he would be their best chance to get back up again next year.

The unfortunate occurences are where the "Hierarchy" do an early change, and still get the same results. (West Ham/Wolves/Notts Forest/ManUtd), then look to change again and again....

It's fan driven .... nothing to lose .... a change is as good as a rest

The only reason Farke is still the Leeds manager is because he managed to turn Leeds around before Xmas..... can't see Scott Parker doing that at Burnley

I could see Fletcher as caretaker with a current club or International manager to come in once their season/World Cup duties are complete. That would be mid-March at earliest by which time Fletcher would have completed the required 10 games for payout.
Sky Sports News are talking about the possibility of Solskjaer as interim this morning.

Solskjaar now fav. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I've just laid him to green up the rest of the market. It will be worth the loss for the comedy value if he gets reappointed. :lol:

Big move for Carrick today, from 10 into 3.5.

Would be better for my P&L but lower comedic value. :|

Some sources suggest there could be a joint appointment. 🫤

Every time I think Man Utd have completely lost the plot they find a way to lose another couple of square foot.

Might be the first time a next manager market has ended in a dead heat.

Man City have all first choice centre backs out for the visit of Brighton this evening.

That means Khusanov will start and most likely play the whole game. But, boy, is he out of his depth...
