It's not Jose fault that we agreed a fee and medical for Bruno but wouldn't pull the trigger until we turned a profit on Eriksen and then when we finally did that Bruno now cost double the amount and was off to a rival.

To dare is too dear.

I think Jose needs to be given a full season and won't judge him too harshly until then but I don't think he will be given the resources needed to crack on.

I think he will be backed this summer as the club for once are facing a financial crisis. In previous seasons when we were on the cusp of challenging for the title Levy failed to invest in the squad. At such time our bank balance looked very healthy. Whereas now we’ve a mountain of debt to pay back on the stadium and the only way we’re going to bring in additional money is to be competing in European football and growing our brand. Failure to invest in the squad this summer will put the owners up shit creek without a paddle. You have to spend money to make money in football.

Yeh I don't think you read my first post properly. I think we would get significant money for them that would be enough for. say, a decent holding player and a fullback. Pre-covid, post-covid makes no functional difference because the players would still be valued relatively the same. If anything it slightly helps as the difference in player prices would be reduced.

Oh I read it right. So we are swapping them all for one/two decent players? Who are you thinking?

Start of this season old bean.

Unless you're airbrushing the form and the luck that took us to the that final and our final finishing position last season?

So then why make such a big deal of it?

Eh?! Merely suggesting that the influence an assistant can provide is fairly limited.

Let's not forget he's working under perhaps the most egotistical manager in the last two decades in Mourinho so hardly going to be in a position in his relatively fledgling career to be offering conflicting advice.

I don’t completely blame Mourinho but he doesn’t exactly inspire happiness around the place. Players look depressed and ground down to me. Maybe we Just need some positive energy and a new defence.

Of course it is. But like under Poch, they don’t have it in them any more. They need moving on. It’s pretty bloody obvious.

You still won't accept it will you? He is not the right man for the job. He needs to be replaced. What have you seen that makes you think different?????

Yes and no, Poch lost the players and now Jose is having issues with the same players. You can’t keep hiring managers until the players decide they like one of them. As per our last overhaul when we got rid of the Billy Big bollocks bridge... Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Adebayor and co, we need a similar rejuvenation of the squad.

I understand that sentiment but the reality unfortunately means the manager often carries the can before he can truly stamp his mark on the playing staff.

Today was a real shit show but we shouldn’t judge Jose until he’s had at least the summer window, a full preseason and then x amount of games next season.

There’s so many issues with the team at the moment that cannot be resolved at least in part until the summer window has opened and then closed.

Pre Lockdown we had ITK that Jose wanted what was it 7-9 players? Lloris, Vertonghen and Sissoko wanted out, Rose was being a tit, Ndombele was a lazy fat knacker and we had an horrendous injury crisis to cope with.

Barring the injury crisis all of the above issues still need to be resolved. In addition to this there’s been question marks raised over Kane’s future, Alli’s continued his unwanted stint at stealing a living, Alderweireld can’t a sniff, Son can’t be arsed and so on.

Whether it be tinkering and strengthening mentality or a bloody overhaul of the squad... it’s wishful thinking to expect the team to be performing week in the week out.

The rest of the season should be used to experiment with the squad and youngsters and look to build a future with those who want to be here.

But he is not going to get a full pre season. He is getting one month to sort this mess out.
