Mourinho's record so far at Spurs is quite underwhelming and the stats back it up especially when you consider the £15 million salary (2nd highest in the league, Top 5 in Europe).
P81 W43 D17 L21
Win 53%
Loss 26%
The 21 losses is exactly the same amount as he managed in his first spell at Chelsea. The difference being is that he was the manager for 185 games in that hugely successful first stint.
His record is similar to our other Portuguese manager of recent times one AVB.
P80 W44 D20 L16
Win 55%
Loss 20%
Win percentages are generally higher for modern managers so difficult to compare historical figures to todays but its fair to compare against Pochettino's stats as Jose's predecessor.
P293 W159 D62 L72
Win 54.27%
Loss 24.5%
Add in that Mourinho is a stats based manager with the football generally being quite defensive as he sets his teams up not to lose/reactive his stats are overall not anything to write home about.
For example his loss % at previous jobs is much better
Porto 12%
Chelsea (1st) 11%
Inter 14%
Madrid 12%
Chelsea (2nd) 19.8%
Man U 19.4%
Spurs 26%
His win percentage at Spurs is the lowest of his career aside from a 20 game stint at Portuguese minnows Leira and way below the 58% he managed at Man Utd.
All a bit average really
The average one

Average is very kind.
He's the worst manager in the league along with fat Sam.
Wouldn't wish him on any club after levy finally sees sense and boots him out in the summer.

Those 3 wins against rubbish did us no favors.

If we manage to win the EL Levy has a very interesting decision in the summer. The crystal ball points to next season being a full meltdown one for Jose but he would have won a trophy and we will be in the CL. As Levy is in awe of Jose I imagine that would be enough for business as usual.

Absolutely nothing against Jose, I actually like how he riles up the opposition and tries to create a siege mentality at whichever club he’s at.
My issue is his hunger for success at Spurs. He’s very ambitious and would have mapped out specific goals during his career - Porto, Chelsea, Real and Utd are jobs he clearly aspired for and worked hard to achieve. Spurs isn’t, in fact he’s rejected us once before.
So we’ve given him £15m a year for a job he never really targeted in the first place. Whilst I don’t doubt his professionalism, I question how bothered he really is if things get worse. A younger manager, say Nagelsman, getting sacked is potentially detrimental on his career, as he’s still proving himself. Hence he’d be more pro-active, more progressive, open to changing his methods, etc if things aren’t working. Jose getting sacked changes nothing for him - he’s achieved everything he wanted in his career already and the only other job he apparently aspires for is the Portugal national job. So he’s not going to change things up at Spurs, he believes his methods are the best, and if it doesn’t work, then he thinks “fine, sack me” and couldn’t really care less if we plummet down the league.

Its always been more about his ego than the club

Worth mentioning that this is also whilst playing turgid negative football. If you're gonna play like that, make sure the results go through the roof. They haven't. We're playing worse football with worse results.
The deal would have been "keep us in the top four but try and win us a trophy". This is why a League Cup win alone shouldn't save his job. Win the Europa League and he probably stays on as he'll have killed two birds with one stone. At no point was the deal "forget about top 4 and the riches of the CL and just get us any trophy".
To me it's pretty simple. He has to win the EL to have any chance of keeping his job as we won't finish top 4 now.

How can he be average when he beat City and United, number 1 and 2 of the PL?

Exactly turgid defensive football should at the very least result in a pretty decent loss % but with us it hasnt.
Ideally we will win the EL and Levys sacks him the following day

To be fair to Mourinho, a lot of the tools at his disposal and provided by ENIC are simply not good enough.
We have known Sissoko, Aurier, Sanchez etc are no good for a club with our aspirations for some time now and they are all still here, and last summer they added Arsenal fan Matt Doherty to the list also.
We are the first club Mourinho has managed where he doesn`t have massive backing from the owners and benefit of doubt from the officials.
