I guess the 23 league goals we've scored has escaped your attention - that's more than 2 goals per game on average.
How about the relentless energy on scoring more than 2 goals average per league game? Or does that not suit your preferred narrative?
Come back to me after 19 games and if you are still scoring goals for fun I will agree .

Don't get scared and piss of to a place where there is no internet as you usually do. I will be waiting. : popcorn:
I will repeat - come back to me after 19 games . Please don't get scared and piss of to a place where there is no internet.
:lol:

I hate that he was ever Utd manager. The man should never have been allowed near the club and was the culmination of the post Fergie panic years, throwing names at the problem, hoping star quality could provide a quick fix. He should have been sacked 2 mins after the Sevilla press conference ended.

Yea we should never have touched him. For style reasons. Same with Spurs.

Ole is still fixing his mess.

Sometimes I worry that GlastonSpurs is a WUM account run by one of our mods to keep the forum interesting and the fans engaged.

His head is easily turned and would absolutely jump at a bigger opportunity than the one he’s at. Just ask Swansea and Celtic fans.
Not now he wouldn’t.
Leicester have a good squad a wealthy owner who doesn’t mind bankrolling the team, little pressure.
Contrast with Spurs. Massively in debt during a global pandemic that is decimating football club’s finances, only two top tier players, an owner who is a famous skinflint.

Spurs are a bigger name historically but I’d bet a sizeable amount that in 5 years or so Leicester are the more ‘established’ top6 club.

I have never been so utterly and completely proven right as I have with Mourinho.
Gotta give you that one.

I was the same with Moyes.

Proven utterly wrong on the other 3, although I wasn’t “certain” which way it’d go with two of them, I was convinced Mourinho would do it differently at United and return to his Porto ways, doh!

Upon reflection I wonder if Moyes could have done anything differently. I almost feel like he was never going to inspire those lads in the dressing room.

LVG was a weird one as well. I didn’t really want or know anything about him, but I thought he almost got it close at times.

I never forget the day Jose was being shown around the Carrington training complex by Ed Woodward. And outside in the car park waiting was the lonely figure of Sir Bobby Charlton looking like he'd rather be anywhere else on the planet than meet the man he so clearly disliked and one who he wouldn't have wanted in a thousand years to take the hot-seat at OT.

What a uncomfortable day that must have been for Sir Bobby Charlton.

Don’t think they’ll sack him .....yet. Levy has invested too much money.

Even if he’s sacked, can’t imagine who they would bring in.

I remember he said something to Charlton about him being in awe of him when he scored against Portugal and Bobby just looked right through him.

Which mod do you think could pull this off, and with such unique and convincing character? @Penna ?

Assuming Mourinho gets the sack this year: where we will he go next? Surely he's not gonna manage 3 PL clubs in a row? Would Real consider him again? The PSG job will probably still be occupied, though it would be funny if he keeps following Pochettino around and stealing his job :lol:

My guess is Italy!

Please tell me you've at least given up on Jose, though.

The sooner Spurs sack him, the sooner his career in English football can come to an end. No one will touch him after failures at Chelsea, United and Spurs. Well, no top 6 side anyway.

You'll disagree, but you should have stuck with Poch.
I don't disagree

Spurs absolutely properly deserve this . How did their board see his last few years with Chelsea & United and think that you know what let's give this guy another chance . I think the jury is still out on sacking Poch but even if they did do that the squad was tailor-made for a progressive manager to come in and build on Poch . Instead they got this dinosaur, now they can enjoy the madness
Even moreso when you consider these should be Kane and Son's peak years. When those two start declining they could be in big trouble.

Germany. The open style will fall right into his lap.

This is not meant as a dig, but honestly knowing that Mourinho was a horrible appointment to make for Man Utd at the time is a pretty low bar to clear. I'd say that 85% of non-Utd fans would have cleared it at the time.

Manchester Utd never lose, just run out of time

I would think Italy is the only place that would still be interested in him. But then again I said that when he left us, and Spurs proved me wrong.

Maybe Atletico if Simeone ever leaves, but that doesn't look likely anytime soon.

He's not managed a German club yet so it's probably tempting, but I just don't see it. Bayern would not want him and I'm not sure if the challenge of overcoming that monopoly is tempting to Mourinho. I could be wrong, though!

He won't come to Bundesliga. Because if he comes, and inevitably fails, he will have nothing whatsoever left to lean his superiority attitude on, it's too risky for his ego.
Also, noone can pay him.
