Yeah, by that logic we may as well ditch the manager and let the players sort it out amongst themselves.

We don’t play to win, we set up not to lose.

I just don’t understand why we sit back and let even the poorest teams attack us.

I guess that’s something that only makes sense in Jose’s head.

Got to the point where I’m bored of talking about it. I don’t know what line up Jose is gonna pick in any given game, how we’re gonna play. I expect negativity, individual errors, goals conceded at crucial times, dropping back 25 yards if we go ahead, conceding lots of set pieces around the box, maybe a pen, chucking away points, relying on a top class player to produce a moment of brilliance rather than our coached attacking patterns.

I do go into any game believing we will win, I just assume some or all of the above will happen and that if we somehow manage to come away with 3 points it’s a bonus.

There is no feel good factor at the club, nothing, it’s just absolutely sheite and I blame Levy 100% for his shocking decision making in hiring an anti football, cynical hasbeen like Mourinho for a short term fix.

Its a disaster, could take years for Spurs to turn this around, of course getting him out is the first part, re-building the club will come after

According to Sandy Spurs are in financial hardship so it makes no sense to sack Mourinho, therefor he suggested to replace the back 4. Not sure how he expects that to be done. Sacking Mourinho cost 15 million, a new back 4 is going to cost 75-100 million.

To me you are better off sacking Mourinho and get a new manager in to get a tune out of the current squad.

Of course it could take years but it could also not take nearly as long.

We have great foundations in place now. It's only takes as many good decisions as bad ones of recent times for us to be back in CL and more exciting times.

We need to give Jose 5 years and hopefully by then he will have addressed this problem with dropped points.

Levy is well and truly back in the shiiithouse after this managerial disaster. Unlike an untested but promising manager coming in and it not working out, appointing Jose was a decision that if it goes wrong, you deserve all the criticism for.

Yep, it’s clearly a decision of the heart and not the head. He’s been courting the idea of getting him in since 2004 which has clouded his judgement on Jose’s obvious diminishing talents. He was so preoccupied with whether he could get him without stopping to consider whether he should.

What we discovered under Poch was a template the club could then use to build a philosophy and consistency in the face of any revolving managerial door. The blueprint was there. Bring in a progressive manager with a track record of drilling a squad well and polishing young diamonds under a budget that matches the clubs limits. Levy did a complete uturn when the opportunity was there to think more holistically about what the club represents. A style, an identity, a plan. All gone because he let his heart rule his head. He’s as much to blame here as Jose.

He did it with Redknapp as well. AVB turned up and the same cycle we’re in now began. He continuously jumps from one philosophy to another and no successful club can operate that way without deep pockets.

It’s got to the point where I’m now dreading watching the games. No pre-match excitement whatsoever. Will always watch, but feels like a dirty habit I can’t kick which is not good for my health.

Levy sadly fell under the same delusion as some of our fans thinking this "winner" still guaranteed trophies wherever he went. The truth is we were closer to winning stuff (at least the major stuff) under Poch. Getting rid of Poch after he got us to a CL final and not letting him rebuild becomes more stupid the more I think about it.

Honestly Spurtle talk about going over the top, Spurs are 5th in the table. Not bottom. Where exactly did you expect them to be. Not one of 20 pundits pre season, had them in their top fours. But it seems most of our supporters think Spurs should be winning the Prem. A managerial disaster would be appointing somebody who saw Spurs relegated, with no hope going forward.

What really were your expectations of this season?

How do you have the nerve to ask that Sanluka, you predicted us to win the league earlier this season

My expectations were actually top 4, and while we still might do this the way the season has gone has been very disappointing, regarding performances and other competitions.

Remember we were top of the table around December so we were doing better than any of us expected (well perhaps not yourself), and given how inconsistent other teams have been I would say to be back now outside the top 4 after that is us underachieving.

The target this season for me was top 4 and a cup. With Jose in charge and his apparent record in cup competitions that would have been perfectly understandable. If we don't do that it'll be an underwhelming outcome.
