The fact that the United board did not support Jose to the same extent as other managers are being supported was inevitably his demise. I supported him because I think he was doing whatever he could to benefit the team. 

I honestly think you're in fantasy land a bit here. You guys signed a ton of players under Mourinho, including world class ones, and 2 expensive CBs that were supposed to be the answer to the defensive problem. Just because Mourinho couldn't realise that investment doesn't mean he wasn't supported. I hardly blamed Woodward and co for drawing the line on CBs after getting stung repeatedly like that. To me the biggest mistake Woodward etc made was re-signing Mourinho on a new contract. What a disaster that was. 

And the 2nd statement, yea na... in my opinion Mourinho ultimately looks out for himself. He always did, and he always will.
