That's the thing. I don't think anyone thought Mourinho would be a long term appointment, or a particularly stable one, but I thought he was a winner of trophies and therefore would have accepted the carnage he would leave behind for the sake of actually winning something. Should have known better. We have got the short term manager and the carnage, but no trophies!
The game lasted 120+ minutes Ndombele came on at the same time as Lo Celso you fucking idiot.
Unfortunately, I don’t think Sissoko has a bad attitude. Quite the opposite. I think he’s a serious professional. He’s just fucking shit.
Ain't gonna happen........Jose doing the honorable thing, that is.
Agree, IMO he's actually an example to the squad of getting on with things.
What someone said a couple pf pages back rings true in that Mourinho might tell Levy he'll resign if he loses the league cup final thus saving a big payout. Win for Mourinho as he gets another shot at his ego driven 'won a trophy everywhere i've been', win for Levy as he either saves a ton of money or gets a trophy to try and justify a shite appointment. Either way he'll be gone at the end of the season latest. I'd get rid now but can see why a scenario like this might be tempting to all parties.
And needs a ruthless manager backed to the hilt by Levy
Get rid now and install a caretaker
He has to act today but it’s too late in the day now, always happens in the morning if it happens
We seriously need someone with an iron fist, capable of sorting out these little shits putting half arsed performances week in. You either play 100% or you fuck off. Simple as that. But the problem is I don’t think Levy will give so much authority to a manager, even someone he coveted for a long time like Jose hasn’t got too much power.
I totally agree. I'd have sacked his sorry arse weeks ago. Difficult to work out with Mourinho what he wants more, ego trip or cash.
Sissoko seriously threw the towel in last night. I think he’s got a history of not giving a fuck. He is also pretty shit.
I agree to an extent in that we need these players to go, but I think Jose has to go too and would want him out before the players. The new manager can decide about his squad.
Are these player ratings? I know they're not yours, but what is going on here? Sanchez and Ndombele probably the only two deserving of a 5 or 6.. the rest were rubbish.
Any new manager will be tipped off by people at the club and do their research. I really can't see Rodgers, Naglesmann or anyone else thinking i'm going all in on Doherty, Sissoko and Dier. Alli may survive a cull from past reputation but the other ones will be off if we can find any takers. Nothing scares me more than Mourinho staying in charge, think we'd be more likely to go down than get top 4.
