Manager Jose Mourinho

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

AY, I think the issue is it really cannot get worse than this right now.....

Why you don’t see guaranteed upside in changing manager, it’s hard for me to see any potential downside.

He’s done.....
Aye, nothing is guaranteed either way. I’m delighted this isn’t my problem to solve. Wouldn’t do Levy’s job for all the smack in Edinburgh.
 
Anyway, I’m almost boring myself with all this now. And every time I close my eyes, I just see the word “toxic” floating there in the ether. You fuckers love that one don’t you? 😂

I’ll shut the fuck up now so I can get some likes rather than disagrees. Because I care that much.
 
Or I could just have an opinion that doesn’t match yours? I’m not telling you that you are out of your tree, or need some kind of intervention. I’m perfectly in control of all my faculties. I just don’t feel the need to change my opinion because I’m being shouted at and disagreed with on a forum.

I’ve supported Spurs for 40 of my 48 years and want nothing more than success for the club. I assume you are similar in that? We just have different ideas how to achieve that. No huge deal man.

I'm not asking you to change your opinion, I was trying to understand it.

I think we could all use an intervention at this point.

I fucking hate how "toxic" is used by the masses to describe everything that makes them have a frownie face

Define Mourinho's toxicity:

Alienates and ostracises players - exclusion instead of inclusion.

Is publically critical of players and digs out individuals.

Blames any other person or thing first and rarely if ever specifically discusses his own failings.

Is generally negative. As Toby said: If Mourinho is not talking to me I know I'm not making mistakes.

Has a massive ego which can be a plus but has led him to major bust ups and problems.

Not sure what else to add to this, but that is what I read when I see the term toxic and Mourinho together.
 
Ah well, there’s the rub, as I do blame the players.

Either they are crap at the basics, or they aren’t listening to the guy they are paid handsomely to listen to. Even if or when Jose goes, I want to see the vast majority of players follow him quickly.

I agree that we won’t see the likes of Ferguson or Wenger again. Doubt we’ll see several years out of any manager again. In my time, I’ve seen around 20 managers, fair that Poch had five years, Harry four I think. Again though 2 from 20. And neither won us shiny things.

Said that much after the Liverpool defeat that got AVB sacked.

Players like Dawson, Dembele etc just walking around having a laugh.
 
So, according to a Twitter spod, who may or may not be a clown, he’ll be given the cup final. If we win, Levy will give him the rest of the season to try and salvage Europe.

If not, sacked.
 
What the fuck has Mourinho's track record with other clubs got to do with shit.

How many records has he broke since he's been here, and for all the wrong reasons.

He's never lost the UEFA(Europa League) when he's been in it....

He doesn't lose back to back home matches....

He doesn't lose many points from winning positions....

In a way I feel proud that Spurs actually fucked this donkey over.
Exactly this.

I want us to fuck every record he has.
That'll make me feel better.

:mourfinger:
 
Is any of that true?
Yeah there are plenty of news articles from credible journalists.

Tbf the main reason I know for sure is that I know someone who was on the board at that time.
The figures quoted vary from source to source but £400 million was what Levy came back with. I think it was more of an insult than anything he was ever going to consider.

He would have taken £150-200 if Roman had offered. But ENIC at the time were looking to build on their sporting investments and other board members didn't like the idea of selling to Roman.
