Here are the reactions
Note to Mourinho's next employees. Sign him to a two year contract. Release him after. Rehire for two more afterwards. Short term solution.— Rock (@RockMKaka)December 17, 2015
I'll be honest. The sacking is very badly timed but the Mourinho news has somewhat brightened an otherwise crappy, crappy day#ThankYouJose— Vinayakk (@vinayakkm)December 17, 2015.
Mourinho will probably be our next manager and end up winning us another treble. Hire & fire mentality in football nowadays. Madness!#MUFC— Jamie Scoins (@JamieScoins)December 17, 2015
Dreadful, dreadful decision to sack Mourinho. The club will regret this decision. The players are the one who should pay the price.— Connor O'Reilly (@ConnorJamie91)December 17, 2015
Actually no point in sacking Mourinho, not gunna get top 4, not gunna get relegated might as well have waited for next season to start again— Chazz Boler (@ChazBoler)December 17, 2015
Mourinho has accumulated the most points-per-game in the historyof the Premier League.#SSNHQ— Snyperzamanion (@Snyperzamani)December 17, 2015
After what#mourinhoachieved last season, and has proven throughout his career, did he not deserve time to put things right??#fickle— James gray (@JIMMYgray04)December 17, 2015
Was firing Mourinho REALLY the right choice? Catch us still in 16th place in May,bet.— Maria (@mennara0703)December 17, 2015
Mourinho remains a great coach. He is a victim of the conspiracy of some egoistic, unprincipled and undisciplined players. Watch out.— WISDOM UCHE DURUEKE (@DURUCHEWISE)December 17, 2015
