Didn’t want to answer any prematch questions so resorted to walking away.
I suppose if he didn’t want to answer questions, walking away from the interviewer is more effective than walking towards themDidn’t want to answer any prematch questions so resorted to walking away.
Exactly! Almost past the point of even fixing!Think he means a further 3 years back, on top of the initial 3 years. Imagine having Willian and Perisic in the side
It was more the manner he walked away. Almost pushing the reporter out of the way. They are obliged to answer prematch questions, but when he’s in one of his moods, the toys get thrown firmly out of the pram.I suppose if he didn’t want to answer questions, walking away from the interviewer is more effective than walking towards them
Amen to thatIt was more the manner he walked away. Almost pushing the reporter out of the way. They are obliged to answer prematch questions, but when he’s in one of his moods, the toys get thrown firmly out of the pram.
Worrying for Spurs how rapid he’s jumped to meltdown mode. He’s usually done in year 3, seems like he’s done here in 3 months. All that’s needed now is the usual sulk after the summer window before going against everyone in the squad early next season.Didn’t want to answer any prematch questions so resorted to walking away.
I hated him at Chelsea. I hated him at Madrid. I came to loathe him at United.
But I have to say, I am really starting to appreciate the job he is doing at Spurs
He has fullbacks and forwards on the bench though. Bizarre lineupThat lineup reminds me of the one he put out for us against West Ham away and lost 3-0, which included McTominay at centre half (with 1 or 2 actual CBs on the bench). The rattle is already well and truly out of the pram.
Not a Spurs fan and don’t want to imply that Jose’s doing a good job there, but he‘s still picking up more points per game than Poch this season. So technically they’re still better off with him than Poch.@Spurs fans
The majority of you were quick to blame Poch for Spurs' poor form over the last year or so, but Mourinho has done no better - arguably worse even.
How do you feel now, does Jose's failure absolve Poch or do you think the former still needs time?
Some managers (Mourinho in particular) overrate their value. Most smart clubs have realised, on average a manager is worthless and the most dispensable part of the set up. One of the reasons Mourinho struggles is, because he just doesn't know his place in modern football.Christ, is there anything more bloody tiresome & sack-worthy than managers 'sending messages' to their employers by fielding ballboys as goalkeepers, mascots as strikers etc etc?
Remember when Moyes insisted on 1054 crosses in one game to prove Valencia can't cross without telling him directly? That's some good player management.Christ, is there anything more bloody tiresome & sack-worthy than managers 'sending messages' to their employers by fielding ballboys as goalkeepers, mascots as strikers etc etc?
It's debatable as to which manager performed the better of the two, but that's not the point.Not a Spurs fan and don’t want to imply that Jose’s doing a good job there, but he‘s still picking up more points per game than Poch this season. So technically they’re still better off with him than Poch.
Imagine if this was the game he said he would prepare for... Not LeipzigGuess this was the game he told Levy and the board that this was one of the two games he couldn’t prepare for. Expecting a masterclass against Leipzig now.
Jose decided to skip the foreplay and go into 3rd season meltdown inside 3 months.
The many faces of Jose Mourinho.
....few months later
Pochettinos last 21 matches in charge of Spurs in the League was 5 wins, 5 Draws and 11 defeats. Mourinho has done a lot better than that.@Spurs fans

Tiresome and, at this point, totally transparent. Once he goes into self-preservation mode it's all so predictable.Christ, is there anything more bloody tiresome & sack-worthy than managers 'sending messages' to their employers by fielding ballboys as goalkeepers, mascots as strikers etc etc?
