We were 14th when Poch left. Based on the results and diminishing performances that season, there was nothing at all to make me believe we would have improved on that if he stayed for the season.
Not least because he was no longer motivated and the snidey cunt players were doing the dirty on him.

We ultimately finished 7 points off the top 4 and 16 points off 14th - so we improved where our projected finish would have been.

We were 14th after about 12 games. And the table was just completely clumped up… we were 3 points off 5th. To state it the way you did is misleading. I could easily state that we started 3 points off 5th and finished 3 points off, so we didn’t improve at all.

You can’t honestly think we would have actually finished 14th after the full season if poch had stayed.

People thought the poch performances were horrendous because we were used to years of top 3 performances, but even during pochs poor stretch, we still controlled games… we just couldn’t break teams down. We can’t even control games anymore.

We were on a streak of 1 point per game in poch's last 25 matches. Thats 2/3rds of a season. Relegation form . Finishing top 6 from that isnt bad at all. Poch was finished in his last year for us.

Different seasons, different circumstances. We were 3 pts off 5th when he was sacked, having played Liverpool, City, Woolwich and Leicester away. We were playing crap, not disputing that but other than the new manager bounce when Mourinho came we continued to play crap. He achieved cock all.

As some one else rightly pointed out, we averaged 1 point per game for the previous 20+ games. That is relegation form.
On game week 12 we were 14th on 14 points. 1.166 ppg.
In the next 26 games post Poch we finished 6th on 59 points. 1.73 ppg - which is an improvement. Over 38 games that's 65/66 points. 4th place that season.
Even in the 2nd season we were at 1.6 ppg with results dropping off.

I loved Poch and what he did for us. But he wasn't doing it anymore and it was getting dangerously bad.
Mourinho improved us from where we were when we sacked Poch.
No it wasn't great. No he didn't win anything or achieve top 4. But with a 1 point per game average for a worryingly long period of time, we had to change it.

Poch did well for us for a few years but some find it very difficult to admit that we were going down fast with him in the end and that things did improve with Mourinho (for a while).

Poch was actually given the best performing team that any manager of ours has received from a previous manager.

Better than last game v them no?

No, last game v United we played them off the park, it was only De Gea who held them in the game and gave them the victory, still, I'm pretty happy with José so far, and I'm happier that I was one of the people who called for him replacing Poch.

He meant Burnley dude.

Taken in isolation the game against United was poor, but then they went to City and deserved to win and they're the only team to take a single point against Liverpool all season in the league. Their home record is actually very good and it's entirely possible they've been a little unfairly written off at times this season.
I also think the entire bad performance was due to playing Winks. I would only use Winks when we're 3-0 up and want to hold the game up.

Ridiculous bias... There were under par performances all over the pitch.

Did Winks give away a silly pen or cause Gaz to concede at his near post...?

...Or allow Rashford to cruise down our right wing over and over?

Nope.
 
Just stumbled across this thread.

Early stages of Mourinho when we were scoring for fun. And we sacked him because he was too negative.
And also, LOL at people who still thought Winks was a footballer by the time Mourinho came. Some of us figured out he was a fraud well, well before then.

We were dying under poch and finished much better than where we could have ended up. Even last season from december to when mouinho got sacked we were completely shit. But we were 1st in the league after many games. I wouldnt say 18 months of misery but more like 4 months.

You cant possibly know where we'd have finished under Poch. Even if he had to go Mourinho was such a bad choice for this club. The football to get us top was never sustainable, it was horrible to watch bar 1.5 games. I'm still delighted he isnt here anymore, although a lot less delighted with his mini me replacement.

Other than that first 5 or 6 games it was really grim bar the 2nd half at Southampton and Utd away a year ago. Nuno was the wrong appointment but it doesnt make sacking Mourinho the wro g decision, in fact he should have gone a lot earlier than he did.

With Mourinho, even when it's bad, you have a feeling that we can get wins. With Nono, unless we're playing a team with even less motivation than us, we're going to get done. There were indeed times to sack Mourinho before he got sacked, but doing it when we did was nothing more than a money saving move by Daniel Greedy. There is absolutely no logical sense in sacking a serial winner before a final and putting a noob in instead.

Sacking Mourinho before the cup final was a criminally bad decision - and then appointing a clueless buffoon to give his Instagram mates a run. All to save a few bob - the tight bald cunt

Yeah but it cost less to sack him. So ENIC are doing the best for Spurs therefor it's better than the 90's and thus, as the 90's were the only other decade ever, best ever.
Come on, join the cult.
 
Mourinho's biggest failing, which interestingly doesn't apply to Nono, is that he didn't seem to weed out the shit. Nono has no fucking plan but within 4 or 5 games he figured out who was completely terrible and relegated them to the bench or worse.
