Bye Bye Jose
Mourinho sacked. Again.
That bloke makes more money from being sacked than any man on earth.
I fancy that will be his last big gig for some time. Special? Not any more.

Andrew: You’re telling me that Spurs qualify for the Super League and the next day they sack the manager? So unfair. Poor Jose.
Andy: Jose Mourinho... The first European Super League manager to be sacked. Another record for him to hold.

Jose Mourinho is fired. He is the first of the European Super League managers to lose their job.
He has never been popular amongst Spurs fans-not because he is not a good Manager (he is) but because his style of football does not suit the romantic image of how Spurs teams should play.
I love my club. That means I love pretty much everyone while they manage my club. Maureen. George Graham. Even Juande Ramos. Although I drew the line at Terry Neill.
People on 1 thread talk about how money should not be so important. And yet fail to see the irony of commenting on this thread.
Can a case be made for sacking him? Of course. But 6 days before the League Cup Final? Before the last games of the season while European places are up for grabs?
He is being sacked now (as opposed to the end of the season) for financial reasons. To save a few quid.
Spurs were always 2nd favourites v Man City. Who would make City's squad? For me, 5 players - Lloris, Reguilon, Hojberg, Son, Kane. In the team? 1-Kane. And now, instead of a Manager who has masterminded a great number of trophy wins, we have as temporary Managers a novice (Mason) and a failed lower league Manager (Powell).
Cosmic.
I was reading the comments yesterday after Arsenal's much-needed late equaliser v Fulham in their heroic battle for 10th place:-
"Hurry up & sack Arteta. We don't want Spurs getting 1st dibs on the next decent Manager."
If Spurs are sacking him now, rather than at the end of the season, money is the main reason.
As would Son I think too, over Kane (our best football this year is when we don't play a traditional striker; Son would be perfect, Kane less so)
All irrelevant anyway as we'll both be thrown out the competition before the final
2014 For the first time Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho suffered a Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge. After 61 wins and 16 draws in his first 77 league matches at the ground in his two spells at the club along came bottom club Sunderland to win 2-1 against title chasing Chelsea. In his after-match interview he praised his players, he praised Sunderland and then had this to say about the referee who had turned down several Chelsea penalty appeals but awarded one to Sunderland. "Third point, I want to congratulate again Mike Dean. I think his performance was unbelievable and I think when referees have unbelievable performances I think it's fair that as managers we give them praise. So, fantastic performance. He came here with one objective. To make a fantastic performance. And he did that.” Yes he was being sarcastic and yes he was fined, £10,000.
