Pochettino sacked by Spurs

Mourinho, Levy, Spurs and their fans

A marriage made in hell

Would not be surprised if he's gone before the season finishes

I wish i was 18 ha,i'm pushin 60! i'm not and never have said you should be keeping pace with us,it's pep so it's ni on impossible so leaving that aside,i've been saying to you that we were you and you need a **** like bobby to come in and shake the whole club up to take you foward,poch saying he is not interested in winning the cups as he can't see the advantage in it is frankly shocking,you should always do your best and have a fire in your belly,he has been cosetted in the media and allowed to get comfy,he needed to go for your own sake
You can't spend a year telling me how fantastic your team is an ignore smaller clubs winning silverwear,i hope you get the right manager to kick you on but i'm not sure levy would employ the sort of manager that would do that
I hate some of your protected players who tried to break our legs 2 games running,no apologies for that

People said we needed shaking up when AVB came, Ramos came (both won Europe)

Be interesting to see how Spurs fans take the news, with his links to Chelsea. Not as badly as George Graham being appointed but would imagine some will not accept. Missus is fuming about it

Throw in the turgid style of football he plays and the extorsionate wages he commands. Surely this has to be a wind up?

With the players they’ve had, this Spurs side should have won something under Pochettino - the League Cup if nothing else. They have been perennial bottlers: came 3rd in a two-horse race when Leicester won the Premiership and even lost an FA Cup semi-final - from a winning position - against a poor Rags team. Ok, he played good, high-tempo attacking football and achieved CL qualification in 4/5 of the seasons he was in charge and (very luckily!) reached the final in that competition last season. But to those fawning fans of his in the media who are trotting out the old ‘he was a victim of his own success’ line tonight, I say a loud and clear ‘bollocks!’. Success? He won fuck all!

And by the way, Levy is a c***t!

This.

Looking forward to Jose v Levy, all the little digs in the press and the dressing room revolt. He will have a hell of a job replacing 3 of their most important players in about 6 month as well with about £20 in his pocket.

Who do you want?
What have you made of the decision to sack MP?

The Leipzig manager would be top of my list for you, followed probably by Eddie Howe.

Why would anyone appoint Mouriniho after the way his last two gigs ended?

I'm still very skeptical of the finances working out, but if they do get him I think it could be a brilliant move.

Mourinho's an underdog. Porto & Inter were his best work and Chelsea had a massive chip on their shoulder in 2003 as well. He makes his players believe they're fighting against the odds and it just doesn't work at clubs like United or Madrid.

If he's going to have another successful job, Spurs is set up perfectly for it. If anything is going to convince Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Eriksen to stay, it'll be the chance to train under one of the best managers of the last 20 years. There's a very good squad, CL group is pretty much done and dusted.

The timing is good as well. Spurs are 14th now, but only 3 points off 5th so he only needs a little bit of improvement to get them right up the table, and to be honest with Pochettino seemingly looking to leave at the end of the season, it might even be that firing him while Mourinho was on the market is a really, really smart move.

West Ham, Olympiakos, Bournemouth, United & Burnley is an easy first 5 games as well.

I think it's worth a go for Spurs. He could be the person who takes Pochettino's work and turns it into a trophy or two before the team breaks up in 3 years time any way.

Lots of reports online that Mourinho is going to be announced. That’s fast! You would almost think spurs had spoken to Mourinho before sacking poch. Of course this is ok to do if you aren’t manchester city.
 
This Mourinho stuff is really interesting. I think he has another chapter left to write and in the right situation could be very successful again, but he also earned £24m a year at United. Even if he takes a huge pay cut just to get the job is Levy really going to pay that after spending £20m to sack Poch and his staff? Mourinho will have other options, and looking at the amount of work Tottenham will need over the next window or two the prospect of doing it with limited funds might not be all that attractive. Though I guess if he really does want to stay in England this is pretty much it for him.
