Humblest apologies!
No worries mate!

You're correct it isn't exclusive to JM, but he does like the limelight.
The one thing he did at OT was catapult that club into the select band of clubs who have won three different European tournaments.
Just on a personal level, I happen to think his best days are behind him. If I were a Spurs fan, I don't think I'd be ecstatic right now. But what do I know?
The ironic thing is, a couple of weeks ago, I was talking to a 'gooner' in work, and obviously things ain't working too well there either and there had been talk of JM as the next manager at the Emirates. - He was definitely against that one.
He probably will be gone in a couple of years. He'll probably immediately raise the standards of performance, get results, win a trophy, fall out with everyone, then leave. The job will be done by then though.All the Spurs fans I know aren't at all enthusiastic. They think he'll be gone within a couple of years.

Ive been following this in the English press for a while and apparently Pochettino has been working for this end result. I think he realised he had taken the club as far as he could with this squad of players or maybe just fancied a move. Either way he leaves as a man who won nothing for Spurs and in his place they get a World class manager with a winning mentality. I think it's a smart move from Levy.Jose hasnt been a success for a while. He needs to be a success or his reputation will be completely tarnished.
I think they have made a huge mistake here and should have backed Poch. They will now have to back Jose with a stack load of cash however I can see him causing more issues then being paid off next season.
Mourinho has got to be one of the most over rated managers in world football.
Spurs have been pish this season , yes they are known over the years to play nice football but they have won f*** all for years ,mourinho is a winner hes won things at every club hes been at ,what do the spurs fans want ? Nice football and finish in the top 4 every year or actually winning trophies
Tbf, jose's teams can play good football, but there's no inbetween really. They either play exceptional attacking football or horrendous park the bus.Spurs have been pish this season , yes they are known over the years to play nice football but they have won f*** all for years ,mourinho is a winner hes won things at every club hes been at ,what do the spurs fans want ?

Definitely not and there's clearly issues in the dressing room (likely relating to the shagging going on) effecting on the park performancesI think this idea that MP had taken the squad as far as it could go doesn't explain spurs recent piss poor performances - personally
I mean have a look at what teams ran them ragged - teams that had inferior players but had more fight & it happened consistently
That suggests to me something beyond - 'this is as far as I can take this squad' must be responsible
His CV doesn't really validate that claim, he actually had built a CV that backs up claims about him being a top class manager.
It isn't all based on reputation or posts on forums - there is a shit load of tangible and actual things as well.
It comes down to the difference between authoritarian impact managers and team builders. Advocaat vs Smith.
100% this.Being a Spurs fan defo not happy with the appointment of Jose. Can’t help but feel he has had his day & he is yesterday’s man. Think football has moved on from his type of management.
The Champions League run really papered over the cracks.
In the League since the turn of the year, they have had 11 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses.
40 points in 30 games. 1.3 points per game.
That's 'barely above relegation' form.
In his half-decade in charge, he has reached one League Cup final, one Champions League final and finished second in the league on one occasion.
Not good enough, quite frankly.
Don't know how you can't sack your manager when last season you were in the CL final and this season 14th in the league.
Mourinho has proven himself to be a good manager and will succeed but ONLY if he gets money.
IIRC JM wanted Kante over Pogba and I think Woodward preferred Pogba. Not to mention Chelsea wanted more money than Juve for their respective player. To be fair given how much Pogba cost Kante sounds like a bargain.Well, you have me at a disadvantage in that I don't know the ins and outs of Man Utd's recruitment strategy.
What I saw, because it was I suppose a big story at the time was Jose willing to spend 90 mill on a player who I think was at Man Utd years before.
It's the monies being spent in the grand scheme of things, which is bonkers.
Yes. Pochettino has had plenty of time to win something and hasn't been able to. Best to get someone like Mourinho in now before their best players decide to leave
2 Man U trophies and second place with a turgid Man U team would suggest he still has something to offer. I would argue the second place is a higher achievement than the trophies. He is still the most successful manager at OT since SAFJose was a winner is day is over
Can see olle shown the door at Utd and porch get it
