That's because it's a staggeringly ignorant statement.I don't see how that's a valid statement...

When he came in, he categorically stated that he's inheriting the 3rd best squad in the PL. His words.. He now bemoans everything about this squad. He's be found out unfortunately.I don't see how that's a valid statement when clearly there's a changing of the old guard and a lingering smell of the old regime.
But yea, let's give Jose a good kicking again and put the blame squarely at his door because there's absolutely no other mitigating factors at play here....
These are such key points spot on it’s not just the time but the money and chance to re-shape the squad, if/when we give that to him this summer, if it goes tits up we’ve set ourselves back even furtherThe thing is - youre not just giving him time which I think he needs but youre giving him money - are you comfortable in giving him money to change the squad only for the same crap. Its difficult but I just never saw him as a long term manager but merely someone who could be short term(ish) and perhaps improve us instantly.
Id drop 15m a year on Nagelsmann and go from there... i am pretty sure everyone would be on board with a young progressive manager and would actually give him time (this may come across as me not liking Jose but I actually do but I see him as someone who is at odds with what our club and Levys vision is) - only my view.

The reactions are not knee jerk... We've had 3-4 months of this turgid, insipid shite to contend with from a manager who self promotes to be the world's best.. We're being short changed and writing off this season is not an acceptable option.

All eggs in the FA Cup basket!
Yeah because you're just gonna totally ignore our two strikers being injured, had we had both we'd probably be sitting in or around 3rd...
Actually you're right let's just ignore it anyway, carry on rambling nonsense...
Not to mention a World Cup winning goalkeeper missing a large chunk of important games and again missing today.
His trophy haul, with different teams and in different leagues, puts him firmly in with the worlds best managers, past and present.
Not so much self promotion but more stating cold, hard facts.

Absolutely. There isn't one fix but one would hope that he's integrated in during preseason.I think we will - we need to start preparing for next season now in my view... and Troy wont be ready next season next season... him playing now i think would give him experience.
Jose not playign Troy isnt the reason we are where we are though
I'd say from an outsiders perspective and certainly media at large, he was right but clearly there were underlying squad issues - highlighted many times by resident ITK'ers - and that he's found out the hard way that the job required is a big task and that's not withstanding Kane's injury.When he came in, he categorically stated that he's inheriting the 3rd best squad in the PL.

Everyone and everything has a life cycle. Some more successfull than others but inevitable the cycle come to an end. This can slso apply to the most decorated football manager
Whatever it is, I think that as @Shadydan pointed out, people will find it a lot less frustrating if they just expect this for the rest of the season. If it's like this at the same time next season then people will be justified in feeling concerned about Mourinho even if Levy still backs him.
This isn't directly aimed at you, you mentioned the FA Cup and this rant occurred after the fact .... (I have to preface it like this because people)Absolutely. It’s all about FA Cup for me. Hopefully we get through midweek and there’s a couple of shocks in the same round too. Favourable draws, cup sets etc etc who knows
Except none of the “points” you make are true.
Firstly - I did wonder why he didn’t try Parrott earlier today - that’s has been his only mistake since arriving in my opinionWhen he came in, he categorically stated that he's inheriting the 3rd best squad in the PL.
