I still think Mourinho is a top manager but he is not one to abandon the way he wants his teams to play and the Spurs players probably want to be the globetrotters. He needs all his players to bow at the alter of Jose but it would seem most still have posters of Pochettino up in their lockers...or just egos the size of Mourinho's.
I still think he would have done better here as our personnel wouldn't have had the same hangups. Just to be clear I don't want to swap our manager for anyone, just that he was dealt a hospital pass that is making him seem more of a lame duck than he is. Not that he should be exempt from criticism mind you. Unless you have guarantees from the board you'll be allowed time to completely overhaul the team in your image, you have to be able to find a way to keep what you have happy and firing. He is obviously lacking some pragmatism.
