Obviously the washed up dinosaur is a huge problem, but being honest Mourinho is delivering exactly what he has done for the last 5 years or so.
Dreadful football, picking fights with players and underperforming on the pitch. It was obvious to most of us this would happen so why did our esteemed chairman a) hire him and b) give him such a big long contract?
Since 2018 Daniel Levy has been a disgrace to the football club (up until there he was actually very good). The stadium consumed him, and his unrealistic deadlines meant it was delivered late and over budget.
However, on the pitch is the real area of neglect. After poch somehow steered us to CL in a year at Wembley he was rewarded by signing absolutely nobody. Levy tried being clever and lowballing Villa with Grealish before they got new owners and told him to fack off. We were primed to kick on as a club that year but Levy facked it.
Poch still somehow managed to get CL football and into the CL final without a single signing. His reward was to get the boot after his first poor run of form in 5 years. There was a reasonable argument Poch was burnt out after not being backed and working with the same group for so long, so Levy still had an opportunity to hire a progressive young manager that could kick on from Poch's foundations.
Instead he hired a washed up has been. A specialist in failure over the last 5 years. A man who relies on outdated anti football tactics that worked 15 years ago.
He then for the first time in 20 years decides thar this dinosaur is the manager to have some time and patience with. He has survived the humiliating performances of Chelsea and Brighton, Zagreb and seemingly yesterday. It's absolutely ridiculous how much Levy has facked this. His football knowledge is appaling. He not only needs to hire a manager this summer but also a director of football to take over football decisions.

Yesterday's first half was decent. Which makes the second half even more abject.
The loss was due to Jose's cowardly tactics of defending a one goal lead. I don't understand why he doesn't just get the team to play the same way once we go ahead. What is the drawback? We concede trying to score another? We always facking concede when defending a lead so at least try to score ourselves ffs.

Maybe I'm on my own then, I didn't think our 1st half performance was decent at all. We need to be expecting ALOT more from this club. Its time the fans rmap up the pressure on this club big time. Can't wait til fans are allowed back in, it's going to be carnage. No way am I not renewing.

Is clear the club is is decline, and that it is a steady decline that will continue unless radicle changes are made.
League positions don't lie:
2016/17 - 2nd
18 - 3rd
19 - 4th
20 - 6th -
21 - 8th - possibly 9th if we let Arsenal catch us.
At this rate, we will be a bottom half club by 22/23
Knew I was right to let my season ticket go at the end of 2019 season.
To be honest I don't even watch them anymore. Just win money betting against them. Like taking candy from a baby.

Sorry but I did not enjoy the 1st half. We may have been 1 up but we were very fortunate and definitely second best.
If your expectations are that low that you think the 1st half was "enjoyable" then I'd seriously question what you deem enjoyable.

I disagree we were 2nd best first half but that was more down to United talking a while to get going as usual
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know it rarely happens, but aren't we making the same point and therefore agree with eachother?

This is all very true but I disagree about Levy being very good up until 2018. He's frustrated me numerous times before that. The way he's gone about transfer windows has left a lot to be desired. Leaving it late for signings is something that has always peed me off and he has more often than not been frugal about spending.
Also, I didn't think there was anything that special about our first half performance. It was ok, but not like we created much and nor did United. Second half they wanted it more than us even when they were leading.

Levy is as clueless as they come with regard to footballing decisions, the Amazon documentary proved that. He is an excellent businessman and is doing an excellent job of mugging all the fans off, but when it comes to foresight and ambition on the pitch, he is next to useless.
We will achieve fack all while ENIC are around, that much is crystal clear, I dream of the day a stinking rich new owner arrives with the ambition to make Spurs the best club in Europe.
