They obviously don't believe he's the right man to lead them to glory in the European Super League :-/

[bhg481]

None of the clubs he's managed have sussed his tactics out yet. He starts off well and then starts producing poor results which result in him being sacked with a very large golden handshake. He is then free to find another gullible club.

You forgot the bit about blaming the players when things go thrupnies up.

[Everhelpful]

Bit strange with a League Cup Final on the horizon.

[Sunk]

He is not a good manager. Never has been.

His target this year was a Champions League place.
But Tottenham haven’t won in April and that target is looking extremely unlikely. So he had to go.

[brainiac]

Another massive fail (and massive pay-off) for the Over-rated Petulant One.

[theshedman]

His style of play didn't suit Tottenham. Come to think about it his style doesn't suit most teams.

[andy-hughes]

Regardless of his achievements, which do seem to be behind him now, he has to be the most graceless man ever to occupy the position of manager.

He always seems utterly miserable on and off the pitch - hopefully he won't be re-employed in the Premier League, so we don;t have to put up with his dreadful attitude.

[Hopkirk]

A richer man now.

If my employers want to pay me millions to go, I'm all ears.

[Arksided]

I'm not totally shocked but com on ... it were Spurs.

[brainiac]

Remind me: why did Spurs get rid of Pochettino?

[Hopkirk]

I think Jose was a good manager a few years ago, but not recently.

[sunny-dave]

For quite a few years now, Jose has been a good haircut concealing a dreadfully past-his-sell-by-date manager.

[grumpy01]

He had as they say “lost the dressing room” after his recent comments about the players thus this outcome was inevitable.

[rowanwitch]

He stopped being special after he left (was sacked from) Chelsea the first time. He started believing his own publicity and the second time took on a very strong dressing room and lost. He should look to the likes of Benitez, Pellegrini, Ancelloti and Hiddinck etc., successful managers but able to carry their teams with them.

[Arksided]

I do hope he's Littlepool bound.

[Hopkirk]

Oh, I think he was still special for a while after his first Chelsea sacking. Pretty successful at Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

[andy-hughes]

Perhaps his style suits European players, and clubs, and chairmen - maybe he'd be better off over there.

[ToraToraTora]

I agree with sunk, he only got the job at Chelski because Abramovich was seduced by his self publicity. The previous manager did pretty well but still got fired even though he was 2nd because Abramovich was besoted.

TTT - // I agree with sunk, he only got the job at Chelski because Abramovich was seduced by his self publicity. The previous manager did pretty well but still got fired even though he was 2nd because Abramovich was besoted. //

Stoke City had a period like that with Nathan Jones - his press conferences were always wonderful, he sounded like they were going to win everything. They just stopped winning games, and he was sacked.

A friend and I were talking - we both worked for BT, and have seen this many times with new managers who came in - they talked the talk, and their initial interviews must have brought tears to the eyes of their interview panel. But when it came down to doing the job, talk was all they had, and talks don't cut it - results do.
