After the loss at home to Spurs on Monday, the beleaguered coach is now 1/1 to go first, with his nearest competitor way out at 9/2 (Mark Hughes) He started the season at 5/1 but even lost a point after the win over Leicester to fall to 4/1. Three days later he inexplicably went out to 6/1 before the game with Brighton. Following defeat there he narrowed again to 4/1. He was then installed as 3/1 favourite two days before the Spurs game. He is subsequently now 1/1, not even odds against. If you're going to back him do it now before he becomes odds on.
Mourinho has also managed to singlehandedly disrupt the 'No Manager To Leave' odds as well. Of course, these are very stingy odds against something that is 99.9% sure to happen but Jose has at least made the odds less stingy. Unchanged at 150/1 since the first day of the season, that price has now gone out to 250/1.

He has no history of toughing things out. He has built himself up as "The Special One" or as JAck calls him "The Special Juan" and it is backfiring on him. Where else would he go ? Barca ?, Bayern?, PSG ? Celtic ?

I thought it a little questionable that he took lodgings at The Lowry Hotel when he first came to Manchester, where he is still a guest. A very nice pad by all accounts. But his staying at an hotel can't help but suggest the word 'transient' coming to mind. At Chelsea he moved into a club-rented townhouse in Belgravia (10 Eaton Place) so at least he had a sense of 'being at home'.
It must be slightly strange to be living under the same roof as hundreds of people coming and going every day, but under which you remain an indefinite resident. You get the feeling there may be a packed suitcase under his bed ready and waiting for when the time comes to get out of Dodge. 27 months is a long time to be in the same hotel, luxuries not withstanding. But at £816 per night (minus loyalty discount of course) I bet he still misses some of his homely creature comforts, like having a cat to kick or going out into his own garden looking for butterflies from which to remove wings.

He just got the dreaded vote of confidence. He'll be out the door in six weeks.
