Mourinho sacked

Quoted from caistormariner

As a United supporter for as long as I have followed Town (Town always no 1) I have never understood the level of hate for them.  Sure they had a lot of success in recent  years but they had their fair share of barren years especially when Liverpool were all conquering indeed they suffered relegation in the 70,s yet the whole world seems to despise them without the same for City Liverpool Chelsea but after years if this I suppose I must just take it

For me it's not a hate of the team but a dislike (hate is too strong a word in football) of all the plastic armchair Man U supporters who swan about Town in their replica shirts taking about "We this" and "We that" when refererring to them.

Most have probably only been to Old Trafford once or twice, if at all.

I can honestly say that I have never understood why someone would support a team so far away that they have no actual physical connection with. Absolutely baffles me.

Disgrace this. One club, one love. I was born in Grimsby, so I support Grimsby and only Grimsby.

They could do a lot worse than appoint Hurst as manager  

Quoted from Abdul19

One of those would be amazing

I thought it might get a rise from someone Abdul!

Whoever it is, the first act should be to ban Fergie from Old Trafford. It’s like Busby used to be - everyone looks to him even though he is doing nothing these days. Living in the past.

Pity McCarthy’s got fixed up, he’d have sorted the bu99ers out!

Blanc is a fair shout but he went rapidly downhill at PSG after a good start and he’s done nothing since 2016. Zidane left before he had that problem.

My outside choice would be Rafa Benitez.

Haha, he needs to get the map out though as Manchester is a fair way from Caistor.

Slade--4year contract   £138K per annum--got to get it right sometime

One explanation could be that during the initial TV coverage of the game it was Man Utd who were up there similarly with Leeds and Derby, i grew up with lads who supported those three....i used to like watching Man Utd on the telly when Coppell, Hill , Pearson , Buchan , Macari, and Co were playing for them. Once a generation gets exposed to that level of TV coverage then they pass it down...takes years of non success or non coverage to wash that out...older generation than me will still have the memories of the Busby babes and the holy trinity of Law, Charlton and Best...and given Man Utd still get the lions share of TV coverage then it wont stop.
Just look at how many Chelsea tops you see locally nowadays...ridiculous. All about the money, media and marketing.

It goes back even beyond that Moosey. MU had a following on the newsreels in the 50s before Munich when the Busby Babes started and then they got players like Edwards and Tommy Taylor who were heroes to  faggies collecting kids.  Munich cemented it because it was hard to support anyone playing against their makeshift side for the next 2 seasons. They got the sympathy vote even though the Spurs double team of 1961 was probably a better side than the Babes had been. Then they got started on the European years and that was it but to be fair an awful lot of kids round Grimsby supported Liverpool, Leeds and Chelsea in the 60s.

Reported that misery will get £18 million payoff,

I wonder if he wants to buy his own club ?

I know one that's a snip at £2 million.
