Ex Spurs manager, Tim Sherwood has come out to say that Tottenham fans will not care if Jose Mourinho’s reign as manager ends in a disaster, as long as they win something.
Timi also feels that ex-coach, Mauricio Pochettino who took the club from fifth in the Premier League to a Champions League final, would have been under less pressure if he had won the Carabao Cup during his reign as manager.
He said since it always ends in tears with Mourinho, Spurs fans will be expecting it, while hoping they win something at last.
His words, “There has obviously been a philosophy shift, the owners have decided they need to win a trophy and who better to bring in than someone who wins all the time, at every single club he ever goes to?”
“Jose Mourinho is not going in there to finish in the top four. Yes, they need to do that, but that is a minimum requirement for him. He is going in to win something.
“At Manchester United, it ended in tears. It always ends in tears with Jose, but so what? The fans will not care.
“If it ends in tears with the chairman and Jose Mourinho and they have got a few trophies in the bank, they do not care.”
“I think Mauricio has had a chance,”
“The objectives for him, he ticked every year, finishing in the top four. For me, I would have gone all out, if I was Mauricio, to try and win a trophy even if it is the Carabao Cup.
“That man Jose Mourinho wants to win the Carabao Cup all the time because he knows it’s the easiest domestic trophy to win.
“They can’t win it this year, they’re out. They got knocked out by Colchester. The pressure would have just been off Mauricio a wee bit if he has just managed to get one trophy and put it in the cabinet. He never managed to do that.”
