I am very reliably informed Jose didn’t realise the state of the squad etc when he took the job on. He also was fully convinced we would of bought in a striker on loan in January. Forget his public support of positivity. He feels DL has thrown him under a bus with a wild bunch of cards. There are 4 players who has been playing 40% not fit. Told he feels fans and pundits being unfair. Because when he came he was very adventurous. He is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t.

THIS ONE IS ON DANIEL LEVY!!!
NOT NECESSARILY ENIC!!!

I call it as it is. Details are known behind the scenes here.

Didn’t know the state of the squad...

I love reading your info Herc, but I'm not sure I'm buying this.

If Mourinho didn't realise the state of the squad when he took on the job that's down to him. He has enough experience and contacts - and ability to ask the right questions before joining - to have realised exactly where the squad was. As far as I am aware we tried manfully to bring in a loan striker in January, so he has no reason to bitch about that either. It's true that our injuries have been brutal, but that's hardly Levy's fault.

So for all Levy's faults, I don't think he's thrown Mourinho under the bus. You said yourself that Poch's heart wasn't in it and he had to go, and if Mourinho was so happy to be getting this job on such an outrageous salary that he didn't do his due diligence then that is on him.

As for fans and pundits treating him unfairly: 1. I don't think so; and 2. He should grow a pair.

And that!...?

 

[Tucker]

Would really kill for some good news right about now.

 

[sidford]

If Kane leaves along with 4/5 others than I'm hoping for Campos to come in to help us with the rebuild.

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

The only way I’ll accept Kane leaving is if Campos comes in and facilitates the rebuild.

Thank you for the news. If Jose leave the club, I am absolutely convinced that Eddie Howe will be our ceiling. No experienced manager with a dignity will accept any offer from us..

 

[Twizzle]

After reading Levy's spin doctoring rubbish last week I completely understand why Harry wants out. The only ambition Levy has is to line his pockets.

I'm not sure he would be disappointed with Harry wanting to leave, he'll make a fortune out of this situation should be leave.

After hearing all this latest news, the best thing that could happen now is for Enic to sell the club and let some one with football ambition to run the show.

If campos comes in, I’ll be much more confident in everything

 

[EQP]

We will not have to play any more German teams for the remainder of the season.

 

[Twizzle]

Why would Campos want to get involved with Levy's shit show ?

Surely he would have enough nous to see who the problem is.

I don't buy it either, Jose isnt stupid and im sure if he wasnt happy he'd be publicly having digs at Levy...see N'dombele for example. Yes i know Levy is his boss but when has that stopped him?!

Always thought getting a striker in Jan was massive for Mourinho. When it didn't happen, I think he half accepted that was probably us done for the season. Then when Son got injured, think that was it and onto next season from Mourinho's perspective.

 

[Phil-spur99]

Or next season....

 

[Gspurs11]

I think an ITK (can’t remember who) mentioned Levy wasn’t onboard with power-sharing, which is completely ridiculous considering we need to maximise a tight budget

 

[Joely]

Poch’s heart wasn’t in it anymore!
he fell out with players and not talking to them. His moods was very toxic.

Hope I'm wrong but can't help but feel we'll be hearing similar with Mourinho by the end of the summer/start of next season. Think it'll take much less for his heart not to be in it anymore.

 

[Dazzazzad]

Given his scouting and preparation for opponents I can't say I'm surprised.

There are many mangers who could get a hell of a lot more out of this squad.

I'd still give him the summer and see how we hit the ground running next season but I'm bracing for the next managerial reshuffle.

Well this is your lucky day.

I work high up in the government of Nigeria. I am looking for assistance in transferring money out of this country, and hear you might be able to help. If you can provide your bank account, social security, date of birth and a copy of your passport for safeguarding the funds, you will be able to keep 10% of the funds we transfer.


And as you said you would kill, little bald man last seen in N17, will send you the details

This. But the way he’s handled it in the media recently hasn’t been ideal.
