If Jose is to go, I don't think it will be until after the City game.

We have a tough run of games coming up with Chelsea, City and Juve twice as well a stoughish games against the likes of Everton.

Would it be wise to throw a new manager in against these clubs and risk a poor start to his tenure or do you think the board are giving Jose enough rope to hang himself?

100% throw a new guy in now. What's the point of having a manager that has us playing so bad against weak opposition every week against the big guns? New guy can motivate players, lift them for these tricky fixtures and learn a lot about his squad in time for the Jan window.

Just waiting is weak and will likely worsen the damage - our club has been too pacifist for too long, time for some serious action - bring back the passion. Just imagine how motivated the fans will be alone if we have a new manager hired that says and tries the right things from the get-go, we need our heart back.

The thing is Beast, if a new manager were to come in immediately and then we were to extend our losing streak - which is quite possible given our upcoming fixtures - then the fans will be on his back immediately.
He could be on a hiding to nothing within the first half a dozen games - not exactly the start anyone would want.
Its all well and good people saying bring in x, y or z now and he "will have my full backing" - but we all know in reality that won't quite be the case.
The "I want it now" brigade will be baying for blood within a fortnight.

Betty - I don't think our fans will be on his back if he has a slow start to be honest. I understand what you mean, but I think the majority of our fans are so desperate to see any green shoots of recovery there will be a lot of rope for the next guy. Ultimately Jose has benefited massively from following LVG and Moyes, the next guy has to be the right one because patience is one thing we have had to learn.

I want it now brigade are pretty much lost. I just want to see us get back on the right track, we are heading to a cliff edge now.

That's my thinking Betty. If Jose can't motivate the players for the upcoming games then I think he's shot, it then leads to a new manager who we can be doing due diligence on now if we have not already a better less pressurised beginning to his tenure.

Why sacrifice these games on a guy we know isn't capable of motivating the players though? Surely better for somebody fresh to come in and lift things!

I'm sure youve said Beast but who would you bring in to replace Mourinho?
