But I'm asking and you keep running away.
Why did Mourinho only finish 10th?
Why did Klopp only finish 8th?

You’ve credited him for something which you are now blaming him for.
Once more:

So, with that in mind would you like to re think your excuse for how we didn’t win the PL against Leicester just a year earlier to saying the above?
Because now you are claiming it’s because we was punching above our weight by not spending.
Have a think John, because both claims don’t add up.
You fucked up.
There's a simple way out of this. That even the the bald miser can work out. Get a D.O.F, one who believes in progress football with a two tiered recruitment strategy ready made (for Jose) and top young talent two years off being ready. By then he is charged with bringing in Naggelsmann/Gallardo and can sell the job on the young players primed and ready for him to work with. Jose fresh from his FA cup and Europa cup double takes the Portugal national team job.
Were we punching above our weight John?
I don’t give two fucks I misjudged Liverpool’s manager.
We all misjudged our own.
He wasn’t that good.....we was NOT punching above our weight and Levy had us exactly where we deserved to be, and we should thank him for that.
Your words John not mine
No, Sammy, you fucked up and now you're smarting in your own self made embarrassment.
For years you've been the cheerleader claiming I have some anti Levy agenda only to quote a post where I've sucked him off to the root
Quote me again, Sammy.
Show the whole forum I'm not this anti Levy demon you made me out to be after all.

None of it is his fault though.
It’s just his job to make the best of what is now a transition.
You said we wasn’t punching above our weight.No, Sammy, you fucked up and now you're smarting in your own self made embarrassment.

What was the reason we bottled it to Leicester?
Atrocious backtrack yet again for you.
Look John you can’t answer this by saying “Sammy said Klopp was shit, Sammy said I never praised Levy”
I’m asking what you think the reason was for not winning stuff at the time you said the club was where it deserved to be, the chairman should be thanked for our position and we was not punching above our weight,
Be a man for once, no gifs no “hehehe” just stand for what you said, and explain what role you feel the manager had in our failures back then seeing as you totally absolved levy of all fault.

We bottled nothing in the season Leicester won the title.
We were never top in that season and were the only side chasing Leicester in the last couple of months.
The only bottlers were Man city and woolwich who were both top of the league at various times and allowed Leicester to over take them

We bottled beating Leicester at WHL.....in fact we bottled some 22 chances on goal.
We also capitulated a 13pt lead on Woolwich from January.
The fact we wasn’t top meant nothing, it was a choice we had to go out there, put Leicester in their place and close the gap to some 2 or 3 pts.
We bottled it, then we bottled a 2-1 lead against a ten man Woolwich with 15 minutes to go when a win would have put us three points behind Leicester with 11 games.
We NEVER took a chance to pressure them.
We shit our pants when we could at every opportunity, and we’ve been doing that ever since.
2nd March 2016, we could have gone top on GD.
Lost to West fucking Ham.
TOP. In MARCH
Then bottled the absolute last chance at Chelsea despite being 2-0 up. We lost our nerve, we lost our discipline and we lost our bottle. Again.
Before the ultimate joy of losing 5-1 to a relegated team and finishing 3rd behind arse.
How anyone can deny that was a bottle job is beyond me.
We weren't punching above our weight. We've always been a big club. Not the plucky little tottingham that you and others like to portray us.
Credit to Daniel Levy for helping us get back where we belong by hiring Mauricio Pochettino. A man who showed he called polish turds and turn water into wine.
Massive, massive thumbs down to Levy for not backing him and trying operate the football team on the cheap. A catastrophic, scandelous show of greed thats set the team back years. A man and owners who have shown that glory on the pitch is at the bottom of the checkli$t.
Now, back to the qustion you've been hiding from.
If Poch was such a shit manager for finishing 3rd in 2016 how is it that Klopp finished 8th and Mourinho finished 10th. Rightly getting sacked in the process
You seem to be basing your'e whole argument around Levy's greatness and Poch's shitness around this one point

We went one nil up at Leicester then gave away the lead in two minutes. Stupid. First rule of football.
We lost at home to them - to a set piece. Sounds familiar...... Despite being all over them, dominating possession and wasting chances. We fucked that one up for sure.
We went 2-0 up at Home to stoke. Threw it away 2-2. Fuck up.
Lost 5-1 to Newcastle last day. Absolute bag of shite.
Win those 4 we would of won the league. 3 of them we should have won.
Newcastle showed the squad up for what they were - didn’t care enough. No wonder Poch wanted to murder them after that game.
Not bottled. But we could have won it.
If we were not punching above our weight, what was the reason for not being able to beat a crap Leicester side to the title in a season all our rivals were abysmal?
You keep calling the squad turds, but claim we were where we belonged. If you credit the manager for making them gold, then it was he who turned them back into turd.
Klopp was in his first season, in a situation not too dissimilar to Jose is now.
Because he is a world class manager, over the years he managed the likes of Henderson, Milner, a champo LB and an academy RB into champions of Europe and so to be England.
He spent 150M on a CB and keeper, but we all know that’s not the reason Liverpool are so good.
It’s management. Klopp wasn’t backed with a bench, or squad depth. They have no back up.
Jose didn’t finish 10th he was sacked in December, The season before he won the PL and CC double with them.
