Mourinho and I don't like him isn't the problem, Daniel Levy is

he made a mistake with Jose (in retrospect) but he was an ambitious appointment and he did back him last summer. Easy to re-write history but everyone agreed at the time that it was a good window. Right now, Jose is clearly the immediate problem.

Did the League Cup Win in 2008 stop Berbatov and Keane pissing off...No. So why do the media think that by us somehow managing to beat City it saves our season? If we aren't in the CL next year, Kane is off if someone pays the money and Son will follow shortly.

Let's just accept that we need a rebuild and it is likely that it will not include our current two best players.

Ultimately he was brought in to give us the edge in these important, one off games. The trade off was the football wouldn't be particularly entertaining but he's not even doing that so genuinely what is the point? I was all for giving him time but can't see any point now.

I imagine that his contract has a clause relating to performance and needing to finish in the top 4. I doubt Levy can afford to sack him until its mathematically impossible.

Nah Players have to go, they're all pub level.
give Jose quarter of a billion pounds to rebuild like he did at United, that ended pretty well.

I heard him say press and attack all game so it's not him guys! ....nah honestly I stopped watching after 30 minutes

Team JOSEOUT 4LIFE

He also told them to have the right attitude. What more can a man do?

After hearing Jose interview. Some people are going to not agree with this but I say give Jose the summer to clear the rot. The same rot that has been there since Poch days. We sack him and get someone else the same thing is going to happen. Get rid of anyone who doesn’t have the right attitude. Only Jose knows who they are as he had worked with them.
This is the absolute last year that is realistic in. Everyone's broke, it'll be a quiet transfer window again, there will not be a load of clubs queueing up for our dross. He's a manager - you've got to manage what you have, not your dream team, this isn't Real Madrid.

When will Levy finally realise that he is the problem, hires a serial winning coach & the only club he fails at is going to be Spurs ??‍♀️

International break ,New man in charge... surely.....this must end now.

Mourinho has been shite,but the players have downed tools, probably down to mourinho.

Levy is to blame as well. Our CBs are awful! We could of had one of the most accomplished cbs in skiriniar but we opted for Rodon instead who is completely inexperienced and young. Our CBs wouldn’t get into the top 10. Maybe Toby but that’s it.
My point is you're hoping Levy will clear the decks this summer.

You may need to give your head a wobble.

Cameron Carter Vickers has his testimonial this May.

We'll always have the Crystal Palace and West Brom matches. I've pre-ordered the DVDs already.

You're a psycopath

Unfortunately some people are just so charmed by him and the stuff he won a thousand years ago that they can't see the simple truth.

His tactics are outdated and irrelevant, and large groups of players don't give their all for him probably because they don't like him very much , as happened at Chelsea, United and now here.

He could get us relegated next season and you'll still here people say give him another summer to clear out the rot

Need a massive, massive rebuild, not just without Jose but without a fair few of these players too.

Dier, Doherty, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Lucas should all be gone by the end of the summer, simple as that - at the very least.

Just hope to god if Jose is sacked he only has a year worth of compensation rather than the rest of his contract.

Then I just don’t see what can be done. If we don’t spend or get rid of the dross we are going to stay at mediocre for the next decade!
