Jamie O’Hara nails it. Levy brings in a specialist, and just a week before the specialist is due to do what he has spent a lifetime doing, he sacks him.
Additionally, O’Hara also points out what all the Mourinho dementors failed to grasp – which is – that under Mourinho one will get less than exciting, but effective football. There may also be tantrums, which may leave some a little ‘put out’. Ah diddums.
So now, we have a good many fans who just wasted the last year or so pointing out the obvious – as if they had just discovered a scientific breakthrough – and are now reaping the embarrassment of yet another high-profile Spurs loss.
Well done everyone, you’ve all done awfully well!
All those deluded souls trotting out the “we actually have a bigger chance under Mason now every one is happy” line need to long hard look at themselves!
Certainly under Mourinho the footballs not been exciting I’m not quite it could on recent results be deemed to be effective,
Well in his last ten games against sides from the top 9 of the Premiershio, he got one draw and nine defeats. So forgive me for wondering how the hell anyone could be confident that he would have wpn against the top team in the country after four months of getting managing just one draw against the other seven teams!
I was defending Jose until the Everton performance (like Levy!). Suddenly people are reacting with hindsight and rose tinted glasses thinking we’d have won if he was still there. Different coach, same players.
I sat and watched that game for 90 minutes and thought to myself ‘They are in a cup final, surely at some point they will have a little bit of a go’. Afraid there was nothing, yes City are an awesome team, but we managed to beat them at our place this season, and last season. We have supposedly the best striker in Europe/the world, who has played in 3 finals for us and i don’t think he has touched the ball in the opponents penalty area, his sidekick, Sonny, who we rightly hold in high esteem, couldn’t pass the ball to one of our players yesterday, and a right full-back who does the same thing every single game, commit a stupid foul in a dangerous area, which almost inevitably leads to a goal. Would that have been any different yesterday with another manager?? they did the same thing against Liverpool in the champions league final, a chance to make history, yest they never turned up. I really feel this set of players missed the boat 4/5 years ago, and another rebuild is now needed…

Bring back Jose, he would have won that game imo. The fact City couldn’t score I believe would have suited Jose’s hit them fast on the counter. Ndimbele would have turned on the style if he had played putting son kane and moura in the channels.
But from recent leaks to the press it sounds like Mourinho said hurtful words to Levy (along the lines of “keep your beak out of my team management, no I won’t play Winks and Sissoko in the final because they barely quality as footballers”), poor little chap’s feelings must have been cut to shreds so no wonder he pulled the trigger. His dignity is worth so much more than the dignity of a proud and historic football team like Spurs and always has been. ENIC in!
