Timing is important in football. Mourinho has of course been a tremendous manager. But his recent work has shown him up to be outdated, negative and almost irrational in his thought process. Our next manager needs to instil belief in the players, coach younger players to become better, recruit sensibly and selectively and unite the club across the board, including the supporters.
Mourinho in his current mode is one of the worst managers out there to achieve all that. The only positive with him is that he would not accept the culture of glorified failure which oozes out of every part of the club. Unfortunately he would probably destroy everything in the first few months before even having a chance to overhaul the mentality.
He’d instantly clash with Kenwright and the board because of this, and that’s why I believe he’d walk very early into his reign. And his personality would grate on every player in training while he is here, it would be an absolute circus from start to finish and absolutely not what we need in our state right now.
People who want him are living in a fantasy world far removed from reality and aren’t taking any of these things into consideration. Just googling pictures of him from a bygone decade holding various trophies and getting steamy eyed.
