For me no you don't let him continue to shape the squad to his liking because it's further away from what we want in terms of style. And he's never a long term answer anyway so I don't think we can let him continue to shape the squad his way.
From the fans point of view I agree but the people who will make the decision on his future won't do anything to change it unless the club doesn't make CL or fans stop buying tickets there's no real indicator of fan satisfaction. Our owners simply want a manager that they can leave alone to run the football team who makes sure they get top 4 every season and Mourinho probably does that. Woodward even admitted the performance of the team and the way they play has little effect on the business side of things in the short term in the long term you might see a drop off in new fans.
The most dissapointing thing in the post Fergie era for me is we still seem to have one man in complete control we haven't modernised our scouting and recruitment team, we don't really seem to have a plan for success other than get in big names and hope for the best.
