Reckon he'll get the Argentina squad, won't get a big club name coming for him now though after recent results.

Are we just talking about stuff he said?
I cannot prove he wanted to be fired but I cannot shake the suspicion. And if you like, I will try to explain it, sure.
No, Mourinho would not have suited the AVB/Sherwood squad, we needed a manager who motivated young players and was used to working with more average ability, Poch is the best at that type of thing.
Mourinho is a tactical genius but who needs players of a higher caliber and often more mature players. This squad is much more suitable to his strengths.
if your going to get a Mourinho now is the time, we would not have had the size, squad for him back before. Poch is brilliant at what he does, Mourinho at what he does, both suit different types of teams.

The other story is that Poch was asked to resign last week and refused. Levy then decided the axe must fall and made the call to Jose. One week is an awfully long time in football.
I read somewhere yesterday that we put the feelers out after the Watford game.
May I ask where you read that ??
Who would have resigned in that situation with Levy scheming to sack him for months? Only a bloody fool would have even thought about it.
Listened to it on SkySports News and read it on there site.
If Poch takes a job elsewhere within 6 months of leaving Spurs he doesn’t receive any further payments of his compensation.
That is pretty standard on the continent, particularly in Italy I believe.
Which is why it is also a bit common to see Serie A coaches return to a club that fired them. They were already on the books to begin with.
Maybe been mentioned already, but far too many pages to go through - assuming Levy lead with the old “if you were to resign, we’d accept“ gambit, trying to save the club a load of cash, would it have been possible to pick up the phone to Real, Bayern, ManU and say “you like our manager but it would normally cost you a fortune to get him. Take him today and he’s yours for free”. ? Thus saving us a big pay off?
Doubt it. In the managerial game, someone had to make the first move (Us, The Scum, United, PSG, Real, Barca). If we would've waited, maybe some club would pay us, but that was way too risky, so Levy decided to pull the trigger himself first.
According to the Telegraph he wasn't sacked, he's on gardening leave. He's still on payroll until another club comes asking for him.
It's sad and we all loved Poch but let's be real.
He stitched up the Saints fans when he jumped ship to us, and I've read a few articles that claim that he was ready to jump ship to Man Utd and expected to get the job before Ole got it.
We will never know, but the point is. Football is a cut throat business, there is no loyalty in it.
Isnt he cup tied?
Breaks my heart everytime I have seen this photo today. It may not have been perfect at the end and who knows what is to come but that man felt like family and made me love football again and feel proud to be a Spurs.
