And I mean it.
This is an appointment Levy had hoped he would not have had to consider.
There will be and is much talk already about Pochettino having been let down, shafted or whatever. I think some of that is right, especially in that nonsense of no transfers the season before last.
In saying that Pochettino was then backed to a large degree this summer and we have been shambolic.
Hence the early call to Mourinho, first to steady and give us some discipline and pride (here comes the rollercoaster) and then to see what he can do as he approaches his 60th year.
Beyond that and remember the man Mourinho is he will move on. This is 2/3 years maximum.
So Levy's biggest job is actually identifying who comes next and what he has bought himself is time in which to do that.
From Pochettino it had to be a proven winner. The next appointment will cast a wider net.
