Thing is we were already watching boring football. The need for a change was clear. We shall see how good of an appointment we have made in due time.
Still gutted by the fact that Levy decided to drop Poch. At Poch's very best, sparks were flying and nothing, nothing would beat us. However, glancing back at the days when we wouldn't be in our best mood, there were a lot of faults in tactics and match training. This will be the key difference between Mourinho, which, for all his cynism, is a great tactician.
I just hope that he won't bring the cynical boring United football to us!
Now lets go win the CL! COYS!

Time will tell.
I think most of us would admit that a change was imminent. To be frank, I didn't see it coming so soon, and maybe naively I thought that Poch could turn it around.
I know Im living in the past, and will replay the CL Ajax game time and again, but to think he was 90 minutes from glory.
Oh well.. Onwards I guess.
Can you paste the article for those who don’t subscribe?
what happened last night?is it real or am i still sleeping?
ochfacepalm:
ochfacepalm:See I don't get this argument. Just because we are already watching boring football why would you then choose accept even more of it? That's not change is it
Well, the argument for Mourinho's perceived boring football is that he does what is necessary in order to win at the expense of aesthetics. So in case he does get us playing boring football, we might at least win more games while doing so. That's still a change to what had been going on under Poch lately.
Of course, I don't want us to be playing boring football. I will wait and see what Mourinho comes up with... will not judge him from the start.
I think who his assistant is will maybe make a difference. I hope he chooses well
Let's be honest here....when was the last time we played exciting football? It's been a while.
Either the manager leaves or certain players when a dressing room is lost and it was lost after recent results in League suggests.
Levy should have backed him before season began by moving on at least 3 players
Now them players can leave for free and it cost 12 Million to pay off poch plus whatever Jose is offered.
Good Business?
Shame on you levy!! You had a manager that loved the club and you will never find anyone as passionate as Poch.
If Jose doesnt hit the floor running, players will leave next year ,
leaving Jose to rebuild the squad. Really??? After what happened at Chelsea and Man U what top players will want to play for him? Only reason he got Pogba is because they offered him a huge amount of money.
Make no mistake, we are 2 or 3 key player injuries away from spending the whole season close to relegation zone.
