Another open letter to Jose Mourinho

Dear Jose,
I can say without a single shred of doubt: You f ked it up.
By now, you’ve removed all your things from Hotspur Way. You’re going to get one hell of a severance package as you leave another club in a scorched earth manner. To be fair, it’s not as bad as a couple of your previous sackings. We didn’t quite get third season “Full Mou” but it was close enough and the crime committed was egregious…
You made Tottenham Hotspur Football Club boring.
And not just boring. Painfully boring. Boring to the point where I dreaded watching every single match, wondering how I was going to force myself to get through two hours of something I suddenly didn’t want to watch. A few years ago, Spurs were the best part of my weeks. I watched as Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min, Mousa Dembele, Dele Alli and others would put teams to the sword and play with a level of relentlessness few teams had.
