A lot of the speculation about Mourinho is based on the betting market. It appears someone made a bet in the last day or two which dramatically reduced his price. Maybe whoever it is knows something, or maybe just guesswork (like the rest of us).
We may be, we may not be. We could be getting used. Not actually sure we even want Potter myself. Think hes a bit over rated. That is defo the foreign way though sack someone, then say new one in the hour
It hasn't been widely reported enough for them to deny it, that's my point. They don't deny every clickbait rumour in the tabloids etc do they, and that's all this has been. There haven't been proper articles written about us trying to appoint him and what contracts we've offered him and all that like there were from the West Ham end, which suggests to me that they were the only ones actively trying to get him and any interest from us was more general and never concrete. Obviously I'm not on the board, I don't know any of this for certain, but I have not seen one media piece from a decent source which gives any kind of indication at all that Graham Potter was our first choice for manager and knocked us back. Obviously if you want to believe that Baz and Ped know the inner workings of the club and that the current manager would know exactly who we were trying to replace him with (and be allowed to comment on it in a press conference) then you're welcome to.
I suspect we have been talking to many managers over the last few months.
think the bobble was saying something about their main target was still in a job and they preferred to wait till the summer to make their move, joining the obvious dots leads to Jose. The only thing is that he left on fairly sour terms throwing his toys out the pram in true Mourinho style calling them "Clueless" so it might be a long shot although he is expected to leave Turkey in the summer. He does hate the RS though and he would make it his mission to put one over on former clubs like Spurs and Utd but imo it would be one of those things that is either a dream for a couple of seasons or a complete disaster.
I don't get where the potter was our top target came from to be honest with you. I'm hoping we swerved a bullet in the long term. He's a cry A**e manager he'd be on the sick bench with the rest after a couple of half time boos. It'll be other backroom staff to see us.over the line.
