I think if anything he's been sacked now because people are going to be talking about Super League rather than what an awful hire he was. Levy truly the master of 4D Chess.

Well, except the part where he hired him in the first place

Lol mourinho, hope that's the last we see of that odious twat. Surprised Levy could stomach that payoff though, must be banking on that sweet sweet super league $$$.

I was hoping Mourinho could waste 1 more great season from Kane, Son and Lloris.

He won’t get another job at super club level. That’s for sure.

Does he go down the league further like say Rafa? Both where at the top 10-15 years ago. I don’t think his tactics are outdated but his man management certainly is.

Pogba and Dele etc tweeting something would be amazing.

Of course his tactics are outdated. They recently got played off the pitch by Newcastle and Zagreb. Kane, Son and Lloris have been excellent and they're 7th. It's tough to have a player in contention for best in the PL at those 3 positions and be in 7th while not being unlucky.

Today I originally wanted to post about Leicester and xG and Joe Willock. Those will be for a later day!

Yeah, really didn't believe Levy would pay for that. Glad he did though, will teach him for being stupid

I don't know what "superclub" means these days but it's not like Spurs is a super elite club in the first place, definitely think he can get similar types of jobs just based on his reputation which will remain, probably in one year PSG will be knocking at his door

The way he throws the players under the bus as well. Be funny as **** if they win the cup final now.

He won the league with Chelsea then it went to ****, won the EL with us and got 2nd so the tactics can’t be that outdated.

—

Cina - super club was referring to clubs involved in the SUPER LEAGUE!

I don’t think people where saying that, he was heavily linked with Madrid after he was sacked by us. Now though? Don’t see it.

Madrid fallen out with the players, Chelsea fallen out with the players, Utd then Spurs. I’m not sure if even Inter would accept him back now?

Oh you're right. If Kane, Son, Lloris and Levy (even just Kane and levy tbh) backed Mou he would be safe.

Inter are about to win the league with Eriksen and Lukaku. 0% he can go there.

His tactics suck but that Chelsea team and the United one had tons of talent. This Spurs team is probably the 5th or 6th most talented in the pl so it's only a slight underperformance, but Spurs just can't waste more good years of Kane.

So who do they go for? Nagelsmann, Rodgers, Potter?

Nagelsmann is rumored to take over at Bayern. Potter should get a look imo.

I have no doubt that Mou will claim moral victory over leaving Spurs cause he opposes the Superleague instead of just sucking donkeyballs.

This was possibly decided after the Orsic incident in Zagreb.

That is when the reppprts started getting out that players are tired of him and listening to that post game interview you'd understand why.

How much does this cost Spurs you reckon?

The athletic already reported his firing has nothing to do with the ESL

Noice. That is an epic LevyGOAT moment.

Btw I think no manager made more than Mou for getting the sack from these huge clubs and Tottenham.

This is a completely unresearched opinion, but he has to be up there. Also GOAT status, if we are completely honest.

goodbye jose you twat. off to china/azerbaijan with you

see late november for poastings about how jose was responsible for kane and son's league-leading form. good stuff

his tactics are not outdated, its that these days is that he only has a small handful of 'top 5 player in the world at their position' lads on the pitch vs the good old days when he had 11 on the pitch plus another 3 on the bench

jose is not and has never been worth more than a couple points/year vs random villarreal or whoever manager, proven fact

Ander Herrera has spoken out about how bad an idea it is. Good man. Hopefully more follow.

PSG havent said they are in yet, so probably has free reign to take a stab.

I will care more if any of the players from the 12 clubs make a statement.

Kane using the Super League as a reason to leave and joining PSG would be pretty funny.

PSG is just way too pure of a club to join this abomination of a "super" league (lol at calling it super with minnows like arsenal and spurs in it)

Damnit, Mourinho was my secret weapon to keep Spuds irrelevant. Surprised they figured it out so quickly. I was hoping he'd make it at least until midway through the next season.

This obv.

All it took was (among other things) was Milan/Arsenal/Inter missing the comp for a few years to throw away the national advantage and keep it to just the big clubs.

Pretty nuts in 1995 Ajax won the comp with Manchester Utd unable to escape a group with Barcelona and Gothenburg.

Fast forward 25 years, and Ajax have to win 2 playoff rounds to make a group stage England send 4 teams to the group stage.
