Jose Mourinho sacked
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
The last two Spurs managers to win the league cup were the least popular appointments.
It'd just have papered over cracks. Bet Spurs were annoyed the final never took place in Feb.
Relieved of their duties eh? You would of thought they would wait until after the EFL final?
Something happened over the weekend?
Maybe Mou goes on sabbatical finally, gets some joy back and come back to the top again? Will get around £30m (Spurs
) from this if reports are correct, so no need to work for a bit.

Not that West Ham need a new manager right now and Ashley probably isn't paying what it would take. Still, I suppose I'd see it as similar to those clubs appointing Pellegrini and Benitez in the past.
Yes surely from his early managing days at U Leiria. From Porto onwards he won trophies everywhere.
He is past it and everyone knows it.
Let’s look at the bright side, with this massive payout he does not have to steal to feed his kids.
Was always a terrible match anyway. A guy who doesnt like to spend and I guy who needs to spend large. Footballs version of the odd couple, only funnier.
I wouldn’t say he’s done in football but he’s done in England and spent too much of his career in the league least suited to him.
I thought he looked like a man that's getting sacked when I saw him at Everton the other night.
I think Italy is next for him or Portugal again.
Was hoping he'd stay a bit longer than that.
A few rumours that he refused to take team training following the ESL announcement.
Yes. To make Mourinho some sort of martyr in all of this is crazy.
He's deservedly sacked and Spurs took advantage of the ESL timing.
Oh who is next I wonder.
For all we know maybe Mourinho got the sack because he may have told levy he was against spurs being part of the European super league as it seems odd timing to sack him and very un-levy like to needlessly pay out millions of pounds.
I didn’t believe the training ground rumour myself but sacking a manager on the Eve of a cup final is unheard of. The timing couldn’t possibly be worse from Levy’s and Spurs’ point of view.
Something drastic certainly happened in order for them to pull the trigger so immediately and I’d hazard a guess that it was of Mourinho’s own doing.
How come Ledley King didn't get the caretaker gig?
Guides Spurs to SL qualification and this is the thanks he gets
I can all but guarantee that’s how Jose will spin it for his next job at Bayern.
FFS please don't make him a martyr for this cause. He managed every bug club with money in his career.
Weird timing given the cup final is round the corner. Unless they are hoping the old new manager bounce nets them a trophy.
This is what the rumors are suggesting indeed.
Fully deserved Jose! Well bloody done!
No idea he is a relatively new coach, wouldnt have thought it was fair for his first game to be in a cup final against City I suspect.
Yeah right. The manager who made it in a big league being handed a blank cheque to buy everybody in sight is apparently the one to take the high moral ground over the super League
What next, Pep quitting due to FFP rules not being enforced?
Not really, Chelsea paid to sack him twice
If he's left on some moral stance, that would mean it's his own volition so almost certainly not getting his payout. Would also mean that any NDA would likely be null and void.
Hope Mourinho has his say, sooner rather than later.

Just surprised me Ryan Mason got in ahead given he's your under 18 coach or something while King's been working with first team all season. Had no idea Chris Powell was at Spurs either (thought he was in the England age groups).
That would've been a quick win with fanbase to get a club legend in charge in short run.
Wow! They don't muck about do they
I doubt it, if Jose had of refused to take training he would surely have been in breach of contract.
It is a trophy - in fact Spurs first trophy in 13 years. The Mourinho Relievement Trophy.
And ‘twas José who secured it. He never leaves a club without leaving a trophy!
Should have sacked him after the United game. Would have been more poetic.
I've heard this as well. You watch Mourinho try to take a moral high ground over this in a PR spin, which is the best outcome for him, he 'leaves' after the news of the SL, when in reality he's staring at a cup final loss and an 8th place finish in the league.
This would be the best PR outcome for him considering his situation at Spurs. Edit; Scumbag.
My suspicion is that he complained about the super league stuff, seeing an opportunity to make his inevitable sacking about him being a martyr rather than his incompetence.
First ever club he left without a trophy? Levy had the last laugh here.
I think the quick win was Jose being sacked, Mason is very popular too. I would say it will be a group of coaches TBH, definitely a touch first game.
That £30 million Levy just shelled out on Jose has gotta hurt.
Levy needs to hope his ESL money don’t go tits up
All of a sudden somehow Mourinho has become some sort of Dark Knight standing up for injustice in opposition to the Super League and not sacked because of the shit situation Spurs are in (and has been rumoured for weeks anyway).
Lets see what stories come out.
If he has been sacked in his opposition to the ESL then Spurs could have him on grounds of gross misconduct or insubordination or something like that where he is in breach of his contract so they dont have to pay him?

My Guess is the Spurs management came to the conclusion that the players could not find any motivation, even for a final under Mourinho.
Is it important for that little cup trophy!?
They are going to play the maga money league with us.
Bit unfair to gloss over his Porto achievementYeah right. The manager who made it in a big league being handed a blank cheque to buy everybody in sight is apparently the one to take the high moral ground over the super League
What next, Pep quitting due to FFP rules not being enforced?
