It’s far from unfair comment to suggest that the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino didn’t sit well with a significant portion of the fanbase, and that some fans are rarely missing an opportunity to have dig at his successor, Jose Mourinho.
The Kosher One told the Metro that 3 games in 6 days was not to his liking…
These fans wasted no time in ploughing into the Portuguese, but was their lack of empathy justified?
It’s quite common for fans to complain about their own sides’ fixtures, and talk of conspiracy theories, but this is largely down to those fans lacking perspective. ALL clubs experience less than ideal scheduling from time to time. The scheduling of games is a complex business at the best of times, involving global broadcasters and police to name but two third party authorities. During a global pandemic, it’s beyond ambitious to start picking holes in a handful of matches.
No, the congestion isn’t great, however, seizing upon a perfectly reasonable observation made by a coach is frankly unreasonable.
Poch was fired, get over it, kids.
Everyone spends more than us lol😂
yes – but at the time…they didnt spend a lot, but weekly wages and NET spend was more than ours that season.
Leicester spend nett total last 5 seasons £112m.To name a few they sold Kante,Drinkwater,Mahrez,Maguire for £205m and reinvested in Tielemans,Perez,Soyuncu,Maddison,Pereira and Slimini all for £160m.
I had fun with poch and my beloved spurs we broke plenty records and played some incredible football. The last 18 months not so much but still got to the greatest final you can. In those 18 months enic spent all player profits on their massively over budget shopping centre and signed no players ( a first) whilst killing everything that was built within their current squad. I’m willing to give Jose time but I doubt he will be breaking into the new top 4 soon which arsenal and us have left for the time being. To add it felt bloody great everyone of my mates of all clubs telling me our football style was tip top and how good we were . Now I’m laughed at and even with some tinpot coca cola cup.thrown in maybe but doubt it anyway but playing rubbish football,,,not that hopeful or thankful.
Enic out .
A gap of nine days in a mad rush to end the season is not acceptable, why wasn’t one of those three games scheduled for the middle of the blank nine days.
The Spanish League are planning to restart in September with fifty per cent capacity and one hundred percent in January, expect PL to follow suit.
Don’t listen to these twerps Jose. Do your thing and keep it moving.
If we take it that next season Bindip FC and Citeh are nailed on Top4 (fair?) that leaves 2 from Manu, Blue Scum and the rest THFC/Wolves/Arse.
I don’t see Top4 again for some time just look at Woolwich.
Roll on 2050/51 eh shipmates
I can’t see anywhere where anyone has mentioned whether next season will go ahead. Will they carry on behind closed doors? The situation won’t have changed unless they find a vaccine & even then, it’ll take months to vaccinate the whole country. We’re in July now, surely someone has thought about next season?
That Leicester season was an exercise is PL spin – they spent loads that year and were under investigation from spend the season before too.
To be blunt, I have never been a fan of Jose, as a person or a manager. He is everything wrong with modern football for me – however, his point is valid. Playing 3 games in 6 days and facing a team playing after 6 days rest is a clear disadvantage. Even with a full squad of world class players, 2 to every position, its about preparation time, and mental focus as much as fatigue. I still stand by the only way Jose is a success is if he spends, it will be playing anti football and will make me want to pluck my eyes out, so if he is getting backed, I would rather we had backed Poch.
No-one is going with win anything at Spurs with Gollem and Uncle Joe in charge.
Liverpool,Man City,Man Utd,Chelsea will all start next season with stronger squads than ours so I won’t be surprised if Mourinho wins nothing,could any coach?Apart from Leicester,a one off,the teams that spend the most usually win the most.
Can’t wait till Maureen gets fired. He may have been a ‘serial winner’ in the past but he will win nothing with us. He doesn’t know how to without millions to spend. Best we can hope for is to scrape into the ropey league, but if via qualifiers that will give him an excuse for next season (although look at Wolves, they started this season a year ago)!
