Jose Mourinho - SACKED

Strange comments, maybe I have lost something in translation. Jose did fine to undermine his own position with the way he set up his team, and being out thought time and time again by mediocre managers and teams. He looked lost at Everton like a manager who had accepted his fate. I like Jose but it was time to go. In fact it's a shame we didn't do it a few weeks ago when Tuchel was available.

Any manager has to get the best out of his players to be successful but if he "crawls" to his players is not good enough to manage our club.

Chelsea look a different team with a competent manager. Hopefully we'll thrive now we've vaccinated against the virus.

The more I hear the more I am bewildered. 20 to 30m payoff and he is sacked before a final - what happened?

No way post Poch we would have a contract where we are fully on the hook regardless of league position/results.

I'd argue the view had to be there was no way the players were going to turn up for him at the final and/or he was showing the capability of winning it.

He's not as clever as he thinks. All this talk of regulators and checks and balances is him trying to send clever.

But when he started saying "Dock them all points and take the money off them" he showed how clueless he is. How many seconds do you think it would take Levy to release the lawyers if the PL tried docking us points?

2000 fans in the ground watching Jose's dour archaic football in a Cup final. Club had to act with the fanbase so divided (just as what happened with United).

Aside from the terrible football and poor results, the fact he lost the dressing room, i have to again ask, why do people not think he deserved to go? in 17 months he's not improved the team or maximise the ability in the squad. We cant defend. We can't attack.

We all wanted it to work out. All of us wanted Jose to prove he still has it, and that he was 'our guy' now, not anyone elses. It didn't work. Apart from "pass to Kane and Son", there has been no improvement, no area you can point to where you can say "Jose's earned more time".

I think we need to be careful about piling in on Levy over Derp I hate the idea of the ESL, but if it is going to happen, then you'll want to be part of it or risk losing your top players.

This. I hate the ESL as a concept but, if it happens, I'd much rather Spurs be in it than out of it.

I cannot blame Levy for jumping on board during the brief period that Spurs could conceivably be mentioned in the same breath as the other clubs concerned. In fact, it's his duty as our chairman to take the chance, rather than spending the next however many years winning the "best loser" competition. Or rather, coming 2nd.

First the Premiership was going to kill football, then the Champions' League (repeatedly). It carries on. Sure, I hark back to the days when there was a proper UEFA Cup and a knockout European Cup, or even when the CL was much smaller.

Let's put it that way: it shouldn't be up to the players whether the manager gets the sack or not. I don't think anyone thought Mourinho had a future at the club beyond the end of the season. What bothers me is the idea that someone from the board would actually ask the players (any player, for that matter) how they feel about the manager.

We had that a lot in the 90s, when we sacked manager after manager and a couple of days later, you had Ferdinand, Armstrong or even Espen Baardsen in the press saying the guy wasn't good enough anyway (as if they were...). Of course, these days, nobody's dumb enough to pat themselves on the back publicly for having a manager out but I do believe that directly asking the players sends the wrong message even more so since (unlike many people on here, I admit) you don't feel they're all that special.
 

I like Roy Keane's views in this video. I agree with him. My manager tinkles me off at times but I have a job to do. I am not going to let my standards drop because the manager tinkled me off. My integrity, professionalism and view of myself would not allow it.
