It Was Bound To Happen

   Manchester United has fired Jose Mourinho

   After 2 /12 years as the team's manager. And it was bound to happen. The Red Devil's are off to their worst start ever in the Premier League. They're in 6th place, 19 points adrift of table-topper Liverpool. Mourinho is the 3rd manager to have come and gone from Man U after the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Not that Fergie had a stellar start either.
   But after taking the helm, Mourinho, who came to United from Chelsea and was United's third manager in 5 years,, seemed to do little in the way of bringing the team to championships. Credit where it;s due, under his watch United did win the Football League Cup, Europa League and the FA Cup Community Shield. But the team has been lackluster, and something had to give. And, like most sports teams, it was the manager.
   United will appoint someone to take them through the rest of the season, and then start looking for a permanent replacement.
   Thank you Jose for your efforts, and accomplishments, with the team, and all the best in the future. I have a feeling someone will snap you up quickly.
