Lowry Hotel staff in tears following Jose Mourinho's sack

- Former Man United boss Jose Mourinho left Lowry Hotel staff in a gloomy mood after leaving the hotel on Tuesday

- The 55-year-old was relieved of his duties by the Premier League club after his side's poor run of form in all competitions this term

He won an Europa League and an EFL Cup during his two and a half years in charge of the Red Devils

Jose Mourinho bid the staff of Lowry Hotel goodbye after his contract was abruptly terminated by Manchester United on Tuesday, December 18.

The Portuguese tactician was in charge of the Red Devils for two and a half year and won an Europa League and an EFL Cup during his reign at the club.

Mou's relationship with his players was disappointing but the 55-year-old had an impressive time at the hotel.

The former Real Madrid coach had been living at the hotel since the summer of 2016, and during his lengthy stay he'd become a familiar face to staff at the hotel.

Having learnt of his sack at Carrington, Mourinho appeared in "good spirits", according to one unnamed resident at the hotel.

"It looked like he was doing his paperwork, having a snack and saying his goodbyes," they told the Daily Mail .

"He made a point of seeking some people out and it looked like he was in good spirits. A lot of the staff appeared to be very upset and a couple went for a hug."

However, Sunday's defeat to leaders Liverpool makes United sit sixth on the log with 19 points on the log - despite spending as much as £400 million on players during the Portuguese's tenure.

Meanwhile, Mourinho's termination is expected to cost the club £18 million in severances.

A United statement said: "A caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the season while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager.

"The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future."

Club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly been named as his interim successor until the end of the season.

Legit.ng recalls that Manchester United announced the sack of Jose Mourinho barely three years in charge at the Theatre of Dreams.

United have recorded poor strings of results all through their campaign including their 3-1 bashing at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.

Mourinho's assistant and former captain Micheal Carrick is reportedly going to be in charge until a new manager is appointed.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
