He's here, and will be for the foreseeable.
No amount of crying or whining is going to change that, so dry those tears and stop throwing your toys about.
No one knows if he's going to be a success or not after 4 months, and I cannot fathom why some fans seem to think they do...it's weird and a bit embarrassing.
Worst case scenario is he falls out with everyone, while playing relegation form football, and he gets the sack around xmas.
Leaving us in exactly the same position as when he was hired.
I agree with all of this except the last sentence. Say we have a decent reshuffle in the summer with most of Mourinho’s main targets coming in (for purposes of the hypothetical let’s say we sign 4 players and ship out 4 - optimistic I know) if it turns out at the start of next season that Jose is past it and, on top of that, the signings we made for him are a load of shit and we get off to a terrible start that will not put us in exactly the same situation at all imo. It will massively set us back even further as we’ll be lumbered with more players we don’t need which will essentially prevent us from doing the rebuild we need. We’ll be stuck with them.
I’m all for giving him time but I won’t lie, I’m bracing myself for Smalling, Matic, Willian (not necessarily all those exact players but players like that) in the summer and a further clusterfuck come Xmas. A cluster fuck we’ll find a lot harder to get out of.
