Exactly they're 5 or 6th to many
Absolutely, especially since no other team has been affected by it.
Except Pep, Ole, Rodgers, Moyes, Klopp, Tuchel, Ancelotti, Smith, Nuno, Bielsa, Hasenhuttl, Dyche, Potter, Parker, and that’s just in England.
The guy has had it at the top level of club football. He needs to manage Portugal.
Wonder if Levy might consider bringing Scott Parker back
The thing about the past, erm, decade of Mou is that I now genuinely question how good he was. It's not like that Chelsea team wasn't the most expensive, and easily best squad in the league when he was in charge. They also won things without him.
Inter feels the most impressive, but the way that team played and the reliance on moments of serious fortune...I dunno.
I wonder if tactically he was ever all that.

Give it Ledley King till the end of the season!
Always thought he couldn't possibly go lower, but I guess Mourinho's ego is truly the biggest in football, at least when managers are concerned.
To be continuously getting embarrassed and still come up with this crap takes a world class level of delusion.
Course you could. I even put money on Spurs dropping out of the top 4 when they top in October. This demise was obvious because Mourinho is the worst manager in the league currently, he’s so past it.
Then why talk about him picking up £50m??
I think he should call it a day. He's suffering. I hate seeing great sportsmen like this.
Dusted. Has been for years.
All the signs were there to see during his second stint at Chelsea. Incredible how few people paid attention.

Don't think David would do that. Maybe PR reasons only. Football reasons, nah.
Gentleman, I give you two words, one name: Jermaine Jenas.
Or this mister

Fastball is truly gone.
He won two European trophies with Porto too. He was obviously a good manager.
Wow
To be fair, I'm still glad there are some spurs who are giving him excuses to use
I think he was all that. His Chelsea side were incredibly efficient. Beating his side was a rare occasion. Remember he went something like 5/6 years without losing a home game. At a time there was no one better at spoiling a game a preparing his team for a match. People forget Roman also gave Ranieri money but he wasn't a patch on Mourinho.
He's lost his edge and football has evolved past him. His personality makes unbearable when things aren't going his way which seems more and more the case these days.
But don't take away from him that between 2004-2010, he was arguably the best manager in the world.
Ahh....Levy didn’t buy him the players. Who could possibly have predicted this outcome. Except a few thousand people in an Internet forum
The obsession among some United fans to still defend this guy is just plain weird. I've a friend who has literally just said that Pep would have finished outside the top four with the squad Mourinho finished 81 points with. How do you even reason with that? 
I for one am absolutely shocked that Jose Mourinho would absolve himself from any blame and try to convince everybody that it's the players' fault. Could have never ever seen it coming.
Spurs might need to let him go now and bring someone who can bring more out of Spurs' squad which supposed to at least be fighting for a top 4 at this juncture
Its the same story all over again. Once they concede first and the opposition defend deep they are essentially fecked. Throw all the attackers out in the second half and eveyone plays like they just met on the team bus.
In football, things are changing overnight. Jose is starting to change things, even though it could be too late for them to finish in the top six. His change is not fundamentally important by now.
I think everyone now finds out Jose is not good to build a team anymore. His philosophy is not good either. Any club should look for new generation of managers rather than him. Feel sorry for him, but his time is up.

I wonder how many more clubs will get burned by Jose ‘Guarantee of Success’ Mourinho.
I wish bookies would offer odds on what a manager will say.
Potter would be a mistake I think. I don’t think his first team is that bad at all, yet, he has only won 5 games all season.
Spurs can’t take that risk and could well find themselves mid table under him.
Are we watching the same video? All I see is Eriksen asking what Lampard was like and Jose giving him a very simple answer.
Harry Redknapp called 3 times!
I think if you look at their stats they've been making lots of chances, but don't have the players to put them away. I'm not that into spreadsheets or calculators, but they seem to play a bit like Warnock's cardiff did and they have a go, so you have to admire that in them.
Technically we're mid-table under Mourinho, so can't really get too hung up over being there with another
Problem is that Mourinho isn't a project manager, so the position we're in has no real 'optimism' about it. If we had a young guy with these results people might be saying "we should have won" and "still learning", but Jose's not the type of guy that you can apply that kind of logic to.
I think we're gong to struggle unless we get a more passive guy in who doesn't care about what Bale/Dele do in training, or just get rid of Dele at least because he's doing nothing for the team now. I honestly don't know what the answer is, but I think I'd prefer a wild card to another big disappointing name.
Even Kane seems off form. When they had that 3 on 1 he had no reason to hold on to it for so long and get to the byline. He had an easy enough option to lay it across for Son.
They'd have still won the league with Ranieri despite Mo being the better manager.
The Athletic say there isn't a break clause in his contract. Seems like Spurs will have to give him a massive pay off even if they win nothing and miss out on top 4.
He was great until 2010 and even very good until 2012/13. After that it has been a steep decline.
Also even leaving his great Porto and Chelsea 2004-2007 achievements aside, with worse teams (in RM’s case slightly worse) he stopped arguably the best team ever from winning 3 CLs in a row, a 2nd treble and 4 league titles in a row. In all three cases he went on to win the competitions himself.
His downfall was when he refused to acknowledge that he wasn’t among the best anymore and as a result refused to change his methods.
Levy really drank the kool aid.
Key signings that summer Cech and Robben were both Ranieri signings weren't they?
The only teams that can afford to buy him, won't, and when he was with us he lived in a hotel so he could keep commuting to his beloved London.
Genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see him manage Arsenal in a couple of years, followed by Portugal and end his career.
