Nonplussed about Mourinho as we all know it'll turn sour in 2 years tops.
But let's never, ever pretend that posh being sacked was unfair, wrong, not best for him, not best for the club.
He would have rather we went down than resigned and passed up his pay off. Make no mistake, he wasn't trying to turn things around. He didn't want more time. He'd clearly had enough and like all modern managers, wasn't leaving without his massive fucking cheque.
He was a brilliant manager for us for a while. But he hit a plateaux he didn't know how to build on.
That combined with almost certain unfulfilled promises meant it was only going one way.

A fraud and a loser then
And the most embarrassing thread award gooooes too!
Jesus why don't we try and go further back.
Harry anyone? Perhaps AVB?
Got to move forward.
The only way I think Poch would come back to Tottenham is if he had a chairman who backed him.
Seeing what Klopp has done at Liverpool over the last few years and getting players he wanted and needed (we all know Levy's love of finding a B lister instead) with the full backing of the owners will always probably play on Poch's mind. What could've been.

He lasted over 5 years, that's almost unheard of in the modern game. Even at spend happy clubs. Guys like Pep, Klopp and Poch that have been at their clubs for longer than 3 years are far from the norm these days.
In hindsight he should have left in the summer but hindsight is always 20/20.
Not my words. I'm just the messenger.That throwaway line doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
RESPECT THE COCK
you got a quick-trigger problem with Jonathan Wilson?
Any manager who still thought Eriksen and Rose were first XI material was asking to be sacked, Poch lost his edge after the CL final and it was time to move on for all parties.
The home games against Newcastle, Bayern, Watford and Sheffield United were some of the worst matches I've ever seen and showed that whatever spirit Poch brought to the club had evaporated. Nothing was happening on the pitch. Mou may or may not bring us a trophy but a change was necessary.

Oh yeah, not having a go at you there Todd - more the article itself.Not my words. I'm just the messenger.
I actually think that it's become quite clear that a lot of footie journos love having a pop at Mourinho being a supposed busted flush. I'm not entirely sure why that might be: jumping on a narrative, digging Spurs out by proxy (which they seem to enjoy) or perhaps there's a lot of pro-United-bias out there that would rather paint him as the problem rather than Woodward.
In many ways I don't mind as articles like that have surely got to make him even more determined to prove them wrong.
Brighton away was the breaking point for me. I'll never not love Poch (well, maybe if he went to Woolwich or Chelsea) but something was so apparently wrong and I couldn't imagine him pulling out of that tailspin regardless of the time given.
The Brighton game was after the 7-2 loss to Bayern and I was thinking surely the team will come out fired up and we'll get a win.
Instead it was a horrorshow performance with no intensity. Easily the worst game of the year for me.
I think he'd already lost interest before then tbh.
Feb onwards in the league last season was pretty dismal.
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
We would never contemplate having him back
He did enough damage in his last 12 months just to secure a good pay day
But we didn’t have a thrusting manager with a point to prove
He couldn’t wait to get away from here quick enough and was desperate to get sacked which he quite rightly did
You can’t turn the clock back to 2015/6
He might make it at another club but I don’t think it will be in the PL as he’s been found out
