Hey... slag the players and the coaches and the owners all you like. But leave Gladys alone.It's a sacrifice I'm prepared to make.
Have to be honest, it feels like Mourinho is lining himself up for Spurs. Arsenal & Everton are probably the only other clubs that could potentially be next to fire their manager, although I highly doubt Emery will leave Arsenal this season as they will continue to be just about good enough to keep him in a job, without ever threatening for the title.
Everton certainly have the money but they are some way behind us when it comes to everything else, e.g. stadium, training ground etc.
If Poch does go then I've been against us appointing Jose. With that said, I feel like the situation at Utd was a bit of a toxic one and created a great deal of tension and stress and made him a fucking misery quite honestly. He was constantly defensive in interviews/press conferences and it all felt like a very negative tenure. However, the reality is that he did get them trophies and took them to 2nd place in 2017/18.
I still don't think he's the right man long term but there is a sense of inevitability at this stage that it will be him if Poch can't right the ship.
Pretty sure they've got a clause so as they can get rid of Emery at the end of the season with no payout...if that's right they could give him the flick now and only have to pay him until then.I’m actually starting to think he’ll end up at the Gooners. I didn’t think they could feasibly sack Emery so soon, but the vibe there seems poisonous. Far more poisonous than it does with us ( at least in the stadium). We may be questioning things, but we’re not booing players or the managers substitutions etc.
Depressingly, I think Mourinho would be the perfect manager to sort them out. They are good going forward and creative, but flakey and can’t defend. And although the current generation of Arsenal fans have been brought up on great football, there are many who still remember “1-0 to the Arsenal” and would be quite happy to go back to it.

Not with the same club though.Just to put Jose Mourinho into context:
In 137 years, Tottenham Hotspur have won 26 major trophies.
In the last 17 years Jose Mourinho has won 25 major trophies, and apparently averages a trophy about once every 34 matches.
If Jose Mourinho joins any other club apart from Tottenham next, then he will have won more trophies in 18 years than Tottenham Hotspur have managed to win since the club was created.
Not getting Jose Mourinho in when he is available is the definition of stupid.
Not with the same club though.
Only by club hopping
spending money
wrecking things
and moving on pronto
Never managed anywhere
longer than 3 and a half years.
Poison for baubles.
No thanks.

This is nonsense.Well you can have managers for another 20 years and no trophies, or you can hire Jose Mourinho and win more trophies in two seasons than this club has in the last 35 years combined.
Why is it that people think Jose is "toxic"? Because he fell out with some players? Anyone remember Fergie making Beckham have to go and get stitches? What about Pochettino apparently losing the backing of two sets of senior players within 5 years?
If you want a high profile manager who the players will respect and stay for, who seemingly wins trophies (including this league multiple times) simply by turning up, then hire Jose Mourinho.
If you want to keep winning fuck all with a series of managers who cannot change the mentality at the club, then keep doing what we're doing I suppose.
This is nonsense.
'and win more trophies in two seasons than this club has in the last 35 years combined'
Is there a money-back guarantee on this?
He's toxic because
the cure is worse than the disease.
He doesn't stay long enough
for a re-build
Only for an expensive
cowboy tart up.
Trophies are not nailed on
at this time
at this club
with this manager.

On top of this, leaving aside the pros and cons of appointing him, what is it about our chairman's mo and Mourinho's equivalent that makes anyone think this has the remotest chance of happening?
So your only criticism is that he "doesn't stay long enough"?
Jose gets the job done in 2 years that Levy has been trying to do in 20 years.
We are apparently losing the entire spine of our team in the summer, including every member of our starting back 4. We need to do an "expensive" rebuild regardless of who is manager. I'd rather it be with a manager who can actually turn that rebuild into trophies, instead of another manager like Pochettino who does a 5 year rebuild, wins nothing, and then says it needs another entirely new rebuild just to get back to not winning things with style like we were 3 years ago.
In the last 17 years Jose Mourinho has NEVER failed to win a trophy with any team he has managed.
If Jose Mourinho can;t win trophies at Tottenham, no one can.

A truly Faustian pact with the devil
Faustian bargain, a pact whereby a person trades something of supreme moral or spiritual importance, such as personal values or the soul, for some worldly or material benefit, such as knowledge, power, or riches.
Usually works out badly for poor Faustus (Spurs) and Mephistopheles (Jose) is the only long term winner.
But hey life is short.
Some over the top hyperbole here, highlighted
