I doubt Levy is infatuated by anyone. That is failing his business and lowering the clubs value. It’s probably more like realism.

Can we afford to sack Jose and pay a new manager a month a year and sign new players? Probably not. So do we invest in the summer and give one of the most successful managers of all time another hit at it? Probably.

Whatever anyone thinks of Jose, you can’t deny his track record with other clubs. I’d say he’s more chance of turning this around than a new manager has. All we’ll get with someone else coming in is another chance for Sissoko, Winks, etc, as they might be fantastic in a new style of play. They won’t be and we’ll be back here in 18 months.

At least Jose might have the force of personality to get Levy to shift out some of the shite in our squad and give us a fighting chance.

This was my post from 20th of Nov 2019:

"Late to the party, but just want to say: FUUUUCCCKKKK! Oh please god don't get Mourinho."

The rest is an incoherent rant, but suffice to say I voted 'No' in the 'saviour' poll. I changed it later to a yes around the time we were top and that's gone back to a firm 'FUCK NO'. I've tried to stick with our gaffer, but there is no rock left for him to hide under. Yesterday was the final straw for me. I thought it was worth giving him until the summer, but he's a fucking twat and being shown up on a regular basis. Fuck him.

I'm reaching for some consolation, but it's hard to see where anything could possibly come from. I honestly don't know if there's any point watching the rest of this season. I might have to pick a surrogate team to fill in the time.

Please, please, please, Daniel, get Redknapp in for the rest of the season.

Get rid of Mourinho, sure, but Redknapp probably struggles to operate a toaster these days. It'd be hilarious.

Not really, he pissed off everyone at Real and Chelsea, yet still went on to win trophies at Chelsea and Man United respectively. That would've been the assumption, that it'd happen again.

Who all did he piss off at Real and Chelsea?

All I see is referenced is Shaw at ManU and Casillas at Real. I see very little about the dozens of players who seemed to love the guy.

Funny you should say that, I was thinking exacty the same about redknapp a caretaker, I think it could be a good shout if we can't get a top class replacement mid season.

Anything would be better that this fool anyway.

How bad do things have to get before you say enough is enough? It just isn’t going to work with him here

It made sense at the time. Mourinho had a 100% track record of winning trophies in a short space of time based on pragmatism and a siege mentality. Levy wanted to win something to get that monkey of our (his) back.

It failed but most of us were willing to give it a chance.

He had never (bar Porto and Inter) been a manager who made the most of what he had, he was a manager who arrived at a new club and straight away went shopping. Only shopping at Harrods, never Primark mind.

How Levy missed this tiny, but colossally important fact is beyond the realms of fantasy.

As much as I am always on the side for any current manager to get more time, after a year and half he still cant get the team to defend properly. Unless we are selling a whole bunch of shite players and replacing them , its over for Jose. Id have more faith in him, if he had doubled down onhis own philosophy and properly parked the bus instead of half here half there ending up nowhere.

Just from doing quick internet search

Real Madrid :- Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pedro Leon, Kaka
Inter :- Balotelli, Quaresma
Chelsea :- de Bruyne, Mata David Luiz, Cuadrado, Gallas, Hazard, Schurrle, Lukaku
Man Utd :- Shaw, Pogba, Martial, Mikhytaryan, Smalling, Jones, Schweinsteiger, Bailly, Lukaku, Fred
Tottenham :- Dele, Rose, Alderweireld, Aurier, Winks (plus I am sure many more that will come out of woodwork when he leaves us)
