Management In search of Mourinho's successor.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Keep seeing people use the fact we were top after 11 or 12 games as some kind of massive accomplishment or justification for keeping the manager

A season is 38 games long , being top after a handful of games means nothing whatsoever

I really do wonder about some of our fans
 
But Liverpool didnot get it wrong with Both VVD and Alisson. Sissoko and Sanchez never looked like they were worth the club record fees paid.

When a manager gets it wrong with two consecutive club record signings, people should not be surprised when the person signing the cheques tightens his grip on the wallet
Sanchez certainly did first year season. Why are people doing revisionist history over his Spurs career?

By your logic Jose should be sacked on the spot because it his agent connections that gave us Doherty and Gedson and they are 2 of the worst Spurs players in the past decade.

Cant remember last time we were 9th. Normally 1 or two games in season as table takes shape but not 9th after 22. Reminds me of gerry francis days.

Without sacking the manager?

Genuinely, you'd have to go back to 96/97 to find us in a worse position after 21 games WITHOUT a manager sacking happening.

In every other season since we'd have sacked Gross, Graham, Hoddle, Santini, Ramos etc.
 
He had 9 signings plus a squad he loved. He had a chequebook but not one as big as he's used to.

I didn't know being top for a few weeks got you a trophy though.
it was not even close - bargain bin shopping does not qualify. You can list your '9 signings' and see which would qualify as a cheque book buy.

Yet we were doing well (even if it wasnt pretty) until absences kicked in. We never had the starting XI to play the way he usually sets up his team and the absences has only exposed the lack of quality in the squad.

But for people like you, Mourinho is the root of all evil, who should never get credit for anything positive but deserves all blame when things dont go right. If that is what lets you sleep at night, who am I to argue otherwise.

and how much did we pay for them?

There is a difference between Rodon flopping and Ndombele not being a star player.

Jose picked them buddy. Many of them Mendes clients. If you don't like it blame it on him being a dodgy cunt.
Didn't see ANY Jose fans say after the window shut "this is unacceptable Jose hasn't been backed at all!" But now he's failing the excuses are all out.
 
We’ll win something with him and he’ll be fucked off since he doesn’t suit us. However we’ll go with some fancy dan, after him, who will play eye pleasing ball no doubt, but we will not win anything again for a while.

Don’t forget the Covid effect isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
