No, and i agree in terms of looking to kick on that January they were a let down, but in terms of justifying our drop off in the league that season, it's not close to valid

I believe, he went into meet Levy to discuss a new contract, but ended up talking himself into the sack.
He would have if it were not for the way he handled things off the pitch in that final third of the season/early close season
That's the way I remember it too. Harry really was the bee's knees for a while for what he did with Spurs, and was a perfect match for the time with his free-flowing football and ban on ketchup. He understandably wanted to cash in, but didn't exactly cover himself in neither glory nor ketchup doing so.
We sacked poch because we were in relegation form.

So we went from a manager that got us 4th playing superb football to AV fcking B

we were awful, remember that Brighton game, far worse than at any point in the 90's, the players were putting in zero effort

We sacked him because he had started to call out the owners about needing a rebuild and the chairman thought it would be cheaper to listen to Mourinho who was telling him we had a great squad and just needed him at the helm to get us over the line.
A quarter of the way in to the sesson yet 3 points off 5th having played City, Arsenal & Liverpool away (iirc) and having our first signings in 2 years injured/unavailable bar a Ndombele for 3 or 4 games.
Fully justified

Who gives a fcuk about points totals? All that counts is where you finish.and our highest ever points total at the time
4th & EL to 5th & EL - football was pretty poor though tbf

I am hypocritical because I said fans are fickle when moaning at us being 5th and in the last 16 of the CL? And this somehow relates to Levy sacking managers who are faltering. Not sure where the hypocrisy is if I'm honest.

there does tend to be a correlation, I'd take Conte setting a new one this season right now, irrespective of knowing what position that would equal

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Levy sack Conte the moment it looks like qualifying for the CL isn’t going to happen.

Jose wins his first game, proclaimed a hero for catapulting us to 5th haha

I would rather we finished in first place with the lowest ever total number of points that has won the PL.

Chris Waddle
so would I, but that's a whole different thing
points totals are a useful metric when comparing two teams made up of mostly the same players
I'd be surprised with that, unless it's miles off the pace and other factors at play, there finally seems to be an acceptance that we're in a bit of a rebuild and that it's going to take a few more windows - he didn't get the job like Mourinho by saying he was the missing piece of the puzzle and the squad was being mismanaged
