Jose Mourinho Sack Watch | Sacked per 19-04

[Withnail]

You think I'm wrong?

Someone disagreeing with you doesn't have to be because of an agenda.

Besides there was enough attacking talent on the pitch to cause them more trouble but it's Mourinho in charge so the other team dominate and no one seems to want the ball or know what to do when they get it.

It'll only get worse.

Worrying for Spurs fans that he's already getting like this.

At Utd we got about 18 months or so before he started to implode and properly sulk, looks like it's happening early at Tottenham.

 

[Withnail]

Jesus what was that interview then? Very early to be like this. Proper rant and aggression with the interviewer and full of excuses. Very diversionary.

He was fairly prickly pre-match too.

It feels like every post in here is just anti-Jose dirge with people salivating at the thought of getting a dig in.

 

[Old Ma Crow]

Never mind the third year syndrome, has it even been 3 months in the job yet?

 

[izec]

I am just happy he isnt here. To hear the excuses of him and his fans is just annoying and embarrassing. He is past it, injuries or not. The way he has to downplay and put everything down just to make the situation and himself look better is funny.

You will be the same once he leaves.

Even Chelsea fans hate him and he is their most successful manager ever.

 

[clarkydaz]

hopefully in the summer he will get a warchest to spend, right?

But that's only because he's a prick

The capitulation is already starting.

"We came to a gun fight with no bullets" way to throw Lucas, Alli and Bergwin under the bus.

Talking about shite like Poulson and Nkunku with envy as if they are world class

Never forget he talked about some kid CB at West Ham like if he was a peak Rio Ferdinand just to throw our players under the bus.

 

[Old Ma Crow]

Has he always stalked off like a pensive parrot when he walks away from the touchline?

 

[DON’T PANIC ™]

He’s still nowhere close to being the miserable git he was towards the end of his time at Utd.

Gun without bullets could also be interpreted as congested match schedule and tired players who cannot be rested because everyone is out injured. But of course you opted for the worst possible interpretation.

We've had a hard season mate, can't you just let me laugh at someone else in peace?

 

[theklr]

I swear there were times I thought I was watching us tonight. Everyone just strolling around, no pressing or intensity, finally someone makes a surging run from midfield that goes nowhere. Wasteful corners.

 

[Josep Dowling]

Dejavu watching that interview. He really needs to realise belittling the players he has to work with just doesn’t work in modern football.

 

[redshaw]

The Son injury is a bit much and makes the no signing of a striker more a problem. Lucas can score two in Germany but at the same time he's not going to lead a team and I feel he works well in picking up the pieces from guys around him, he's so good at ghosting in.

Not really suprising considering what he said after Sevilla, you are on a United forum after all, and it is enjoyable to see that it isn't us anymore.

To be fair to him, I still like his mind games and when he's trying to get under another manager's skin. For example when he was leaving us out as top 4 rivals recently, you just know he's doing it on purpose and it makes for good entertainment.

 

[Gasolin]

I hope we beat them again, that would be good. Let's see how they fare against Chelsea in the next game. I am hopeful for a draw for them, and us beating Watford at home finally going for a streak of wins.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

I feel Tottenham not signing anyone the Summer before last is catching up to them a bit.

Pochettino did so well dragging them to the CL final.

Weren’t they close to signing B. Fernandes 6 months ago as well?

 

[Eckers99]

Already getting his excuses in for the Chelsea game as well.

Allegedly they put an offer that was lower than what Sporting asked, or something like that.

True, but unlikely being only a few days after the end of the first PL winter break.

Can't wait to see how he's going to waste Spurs money in the summer before getting sacked mid-season

Do you think he'll get much money?

Course not but he's only been at spurs a few months. It seems the cycle is speeding up

 

[TsuWave]

We replaced him horribly, but boy I’m happy he’s no longer our manager. Dreadful football.

 

[arthurka]

Didn't take long for him to get on Dele Ali's bad side..

Yeah. I'm still rooting for him. Mainly because the whole of football decided at the same time that he was a washed up old has-been who is now shit. It's become an underdog story. And he's easily the best manager we've had since SAF.

United fans like Jose. There's no bad blood. I think everyone wanted him to succeed but it just didn't work out and by the end the football offered up wasn't anywhere near what we were looking for.

But that's because we can all see the evidence.

If his Spurs stint doesn't end in the now routine dumpster fire feel free to I told you so all over this place but I just can't see any reason to believe that he'll get back to being a top manager.

He used to be divisive and successful, now he's just divisive.

 

[awop]

Do you think he'll get much money?

I think he will have money to get 2 good signings and some fixes here and there, probably 120M. But maybe Levy will unlock the NFL/Concert warchest and go up to 124M.

Are you sure about that?

 

[FootballHQ]

Rare post from me where I'll actually defend him a little bit. They were always going to struggle upfront without their two main forwards tonight (when the draw was made I actually tipped them to get past Leipzig but Harry Kane was fit at that time).

Ultimately that Spurs run last season was a once in 20 years type run. They're not the sort of club that's going to regularly get to CL finals so you need to judge him on the domestic front. Still in FA cup with very winnable 5th round tie and also in with good shout again of finishing 4th/5th although will have to see how they look in the league now without Son as obviously they wouldn't have beaten us as he was the only one who could finish a one-on-one on Sunday.

When you lose Kane and Son, you shouldn't expect much from a team. Look at us losing Rashford and Pogba for example, 2 big players for us. It impacts results.

Imagine Liverpool losing Firmino and Salah or Mane, City losing Sterling and KDB, etc... it's very hard for those players to be replaced at the level they are performing unfortunately.

 

[TheReligion]

Are you sure about that?

For sure.

He's got good receptions whenever he's been back at Old Trafford recently.

I do agree but I think it's also clear in the style of play things have taken a step backwards. That's the concern for Spurs. There's no real method to what they do anymore which is a total contrast to 12 months ago under Poch.

I'm not sure about that. Definitely not on the Caf.

Yeah, I don't think he's become a bad manager. And I think he'll bring success given time. I'll take a raincheck on the told you so.
