Jose Mourinho - SACKED

That's our manager
That's our figurehead

Look at him

yeah, with every other club, easily

our problem during the ENIC Project has been getting over the line, appointing a manager with a track record of doing so was the logical choice, over that same time period there was no better example of a wining manager

Better for the chairman to listen to the manager solely responsible for him being able to overspend by about £300+million on the stadium and not bankrupt the club and took us to 4 consecutive CL qualifications via league position despite having the 6th biggest wage bill and 10th biggest transfer budget, when that manager tells him we need a painful rebuild. The chairman is reaping what he sowed.

Were we really as high as 10th biggest transfer budget?

Levy will have wasted £12m getting rid of Poch and about £18m getting rid of Mourinho.

I suspect a Mourinho will be here till the end of the season at least. Who knows ( however unlikely) we may have won a cup, and maybe even the EL to get us CL next season. If Mourinho doesn't achieve those targets, I would have thought Levy will have written a break clause into his contract and would dispensevwith him then.
 
Classy that he criticized Vinicius post match. I’m sure it will definitely improve his spirits and future performance.

and round and around we go again, not wining anything

Poch took us from nowhere near to very close. The next step was possible but he needed to be backed. We now need to go get a quality, progressive, young manager and back him properly (via the best DoF in the business who is available this very moment).

I did wonder what he’d been doing in training with Vinicius for seven months if the lad doesn’t know how to press yet.
 
I realise I’m in the minority - possibly a minority of one :), but I’d be disappointed for Jose not to have a chance to turn it around.

I think we’ve been unlucky in general, and also feel he’s been experimenting with this defensive tactic rather than it being set in stone. He knows football, happy for him to have more time & hopefully he’ll bomb out some of our perpetual losers.

reckon if he stayed it will come good eventually

Players always make mistakes when it comes to the end of the managers time - it probably relates to not being fully focussed and bought in to the system or whatever

I don't think we were nowhere, he did a great job, but we'd been knocking on that door for years, and there were some great players in the squad, I always felt it was inevitable.

The point was made above about transfer spend, but when you get players like Kane for free and bargains like Alli and Eriksen for under 10m, you don't need to spend that much.

At some point during Poch's tenure the recruitment/integration process broke, that's for sure.

Think you forget that when Mourinho first came in we went on a great run taking us to within a smidgen of fourth. Ironically it was losing at home to Chelsea when it started to go wrong. Son was sent off and banned. Then Kane and then Son and then Bergwyn got injured leaving us with precicely zero attacking options. Also, only a few weeks ago we were top of the table.

Don't get me wrong, I hate this defensive first football, but Mourinho has had bursts of success with it. Even with us.

OK, great, so you have something.... maybe even two things?... that new manager bounce that we had. Plus our good start this season before teams discovered our sole attacking tactic.
