That sum, which is listed under "exceptional items" in the accounts, includes pay-outs for the five members of his staff who left with him on December 18.
It is less than was initially reported in some quarters but four times the amount United had to pay predecessors David Moyes and Louis van Gaal when they were fired in 2014 and 2016, respectively.


Jose certainly is a money machine.

United will have recouped most of that since Solskjar(?) came in and turned things around.

There was an article in the media a couple of months before the change of managers that United's merchandising sales were down considerably and the author of it was wondering how long it would be before Mourinho was sacked.

I can't remember where I saw it but I think it was on SBS.

Last week the BBC sated that their sales were increasing rapidly since the fifth win under Ole Gunnar.

Some truly awful refereeing this morning. I’m no Warnock fan, but he’s right, if you can’t give a pen then you’re in the wrong job.

5 different scorers for Arsenal this morn and the enigmatic Ozil could have had his second, but for the width of a post.

Now for the derby.

I wouldn’t think so, more of a lean in and there was about zero contact, but it was still uncalled for. Not as stupid as Trippier though!

I see Chris Sutton has opened his big mouth again.



Rodgers' Leicester move 'stinks' - ex-Celtic star Sutton's latest rant


Former Celtic star Chris Sutton has criticised the timing of Brendan Rodgers' departure and suggested the manager has let fans down.

Celtic announced on Tuesday (AEDT) that they had "very reluctantly" given Rodgers permission to travel to Leicester for talks and he has now sealed a return to the Premier League.

The 46-year-old won all three domestic honours in his first two seasons in charge at Parkhead and appeared on course to repeat that achievement again in a third campaign.

Ex-Celtic striker Sutton therefore questioned Rodgers' decision to move to a mid-table Premier League club at this stage, while he questioned the coach's past comments about his "dream job" in Glasgow.

"It looks like Brendan Rodgers is off to Leicester City and, quite frankly, it stinks," Sutton said in a video posted to BT Sport's Twitter page before Rodgers' move to Leicester was confirmed.

"The timing of it stinks. He's going to a club who are playing for absolutely nothing. They're not going to get relegated, not going to get into Europe, and I am really disappointed.

"I think there are a lot of Celtic fans out there who will feel let down. This was the job which Brendan said was his 'dream job'. Why is he going now to a club who have nothing to play for?
"It looks like Neil Lennon will get the opportunity [to manage Celtic] and I wish him well.
"In terms of how Brendan has left the club, I think he's left the club in a tough situation. [They have had] short-term loans and losing the centre-half pairing and the right-back in the summer.
"There's a big overhaul which needs doing but, at the moment, it's about the here and now."
Providing a review of Rodgers' time in charge at Celtic, Sutton praised his domestic exploits but said the former Liverpool boss found life in European competition "too tough".
He also offered a potential reason for Rodgers' departure, suggesting his relationship with chief executive Peter Lawwell may never have recovered from a tough close-season transfer market.
"Domestically, Brendan has clean-sweeped and it's been fantastic," he said.
"Europe has been too tough for Brendan, as it has been for a lot of Celtic managers.
"He's been very negative of late. There has been a breakdown in the relationship with Peter Lawwell - Brendan threw him under the bus earlier in the season and, from that moment you're thinking, 'This isn't going to last'.
"The bottom line is the timing of this absolutely stinks. Brendan Rodgers is a top coach and I certainly wish him well. But come on, Brendan, the timing is poor."

Interesting.

I would say he's gained an advantage by being in an offside position, therefore - offside.

Arsenal with a gritty 2-0 win against a strong ManU.

Into fourth position and now only 1 point behind Tottering and effectively two games clear of Chelski because of goal difference.
