Always wondered what the difference between a public and private poll was on here, never realised you could click on the number until now 
I think that's a very good point, possibly the club and certainly a portion of the fanbase stubbornly think we're as bad as Chelsea if we sack him. I don't think this is true, he's an experiment after all (he's not even remotely qualified for the job) and pulling the plug wouldn't be the worst decision for us.
I'm not 100% decided on whether he should go, but the fact a small part of me is hoping we lose against Fulham just to see what happens to him, means my answer has to be that he needs to go.
If he proves me wrong then great, but giving him that chance is a huge risk.

Keep him. He's doing a great job for rival clubs.

It's really no different to us Liverpool supporters wanting Hodgson out, only difference was the majority of rival supporters backed Hodgson because they thought he was good rather than because he tried to relegate us

Alternatively you could be as good as Chelsea by sacking him and getting someone else in, if you want trophies that seems to work.
Man.U haven't sacked a manager in 25+ years, they probably don't even know how to.
The money has definitely helped Chelsea but yes, they've not done badly out of chopping and changing managers. I have said this before in the past.
The Glazers have sacked a few NFL coaches I believe, so they can be quite ruthless. We don't know what they are thinking!

Problem is if we sack him who comes in
I'm not his biggest fan but he's needs a chance to succeed otherwise we probably go through a cycle of managers every six months
I supported Utd through the lean years and have enjoyed the ferguson years. If we have a lean spell then so be it. We do not have a divine right to win the league every year

Managers need time. It's well documented how badly Ferguson did in his first season or two. I'm not saying Moyes is going to emulate Ferguson's achievements, but he's got a hell of a better platform than when sir Alex took over and therefore should be allowed a proper full preseason and full transfer window in order to build something, especially after having twelve months to run the rule over the squad.
If he was sacked, it would represent the ridiculous short-termism that's prevalent at the moment in football. If he messes up the following season, then yeah, maybe they should start looking for a replacement but it's a bit of a poison chalice - if he does well, then good because he's expected to. If he does badly then let's cut off his head. He can't really win. Tough job.

It's not about winning the league though, it's about not playing football like a pub team.
As for who could replace him, I bet there would be a few quality coaches up for the job in the summer. Klopp would be my dream pick but I don't know how/if we could pull that off.
This time yesterday, I was thinking that he needs to go.
But really, there isn't anyone else available I don't think. He may as well be given to the end of the season but anything outside the top four will cement my position in the "out" camp.
I just don't think he's going to be able to strengthen the way United need without CL football - and even then I don't have much faith in him bringing in the right players and utilising them properly.
So keep him - for now.

Agreed but if they are doing nothing positive then they don't deserve it.
I don't think it's a case of bad results, sack the manager. He simply shouldn't have been appointed in the first place and they should fix their error asap so we can start making progress.
If you didn't get rid of mourinho the first time you would have double the trophies you have now, so no it doesn't work

And he wouldn't have fulfilled his ambitions so wouldn't be happy staying here now and building long term. I'll take winning the most honours in the last 10 years + having him back now any day
