Your second sentence means that he can't, you described a limitation and someone that isn't that intelligent. Someone intelligent knows that he isn't always right, knows that he needs to adapt and learn all the time. That's why SAF is the undisputed greatest manager, he is actually intelligent.
The average is usually a decade give or take. LVG, Sacci, Ancelotti, Capello, Del Bosque, Trapattoni etc.
Feegie is an outlier.
Levy will not want to spend the tens of millions it will cost to sack Jose.....
I wonder how far down he will drag them by that point
With Spurs and Citys likely problems next year we have to establish ourselves as the main challengers to Liverpool next year

I really wish we didn't take the route of LVG/Jose, We lost literally 6 years in between them.
If you look at their records obviously they looked like a good appointment at that time but we were unlucky that not only wasted lot of money but also travelled backwards.

I think he could if he was ever willing to admit any fault whatsoever and self reflect but he's proven incapable of that as he's gotten older.
That's not to say that he isn't intelligent in his own right. Prime Jose was one of the greatest and most tactically astute managers I've ever seen but he's become a shell of his former self with his refusal to adapt his methods/approach over time and for that very reason, he can't hold a candle to Ferguson in my opinion.
It takes a certain level of self awareness and introspection to have a sustained run of excellence/success over different era's which Jose lacks dearly
Fergie really was one of a kind. Stayed at the top for 40 years, refreshing his teams time and time again in the face of changing footballing styles, social media and player power. The best there ever was, really.
What did he say?
Still don't think LVG was a terrible choice. We needed someone to build on the possession football he implemented. We went in the opposite direction.
Shocking state.. Or maybe not.
He's totally disinterested with the game now. I remember watching his interview in the summer not long before he got the job sitting on the Monaco Marina talking to Bryan Swanson at Sky saying "I'm refreshed, ready to go etc" it was all a pretence then. He just took the Spurs job because it was convienient for him living in London and he knew top club jobs in London are rare to come by and Spurs was the only viable option. Done as a a top manager and too early.
Can't wait to see what he has to say now.
Don't even know if he's been on yet, sorry. Made that comment at the final whistle.
Screw it, loving every single minute of Maureen's demise. Did not like him before he took over United, but despise him even more now after the games he played to get sacked here. Who is stupid enough to make another big payoff to him after Spurs?
Glad hes not our problem anymore.
Specialist in failure.
If you combine the two spells at Chelsea, then four jobs in the same country is never a good career move for a managerial great. He’s gone from being a rival to Sir Alex and Wenger to a journeyman. When Klopp and Guardiola leave their current clubs it won’t be for another English one. Their work here will be done, as it was for Mourinho about thirteen years ago.
I came to post this exact thing
Only way they spend millions is if they sell Kane
Your first sentence makes little sense in this context, you are basically suggesting that he could if he was someone else. He is himself and can't adapt at that level, he has had 10 years to do it and didn't despite many opportunities. And you are the one who brought intelligence into the question which I assume is relative to other managers, no one is suggesting that he is dumb but you can't say that he is particularly intelligent when you also say that he can't admit fault or self reflect, these things will limit your cognition.
Now watch him park a train in front of goal on Sunday.
Remember those happy early weeks, inviting the ball boy and stuff? 
Saying they don't have a team right now, just a group of players he can field. Went on about the injuries.
That was years ago. HahahaRemember those happy early weeks, inviting the ball boy and stuff?
Yep, remember when he slagged us and his previous clubs off. He assumed he'd be in for a good ride when we were in dead form.Remember those happy early weeks, inviting the ball boy and stuff?
If he does that they'll beat us.
All I want is his team to perform like this on Sunday against us. Give us 3 easy points and we will thank you Mourinho.
He has a huge ego and is not ready to adapt to the modern game. His philosophy is winning but you have to coach your team to do that. He is stuck beating barca with inter and would love all his wins to be like that. The guy should quit club football and manage international teams.
It is sad he is just tarnishing his legacy because in his prime he was damn good, much better than all the hipsters that some start raving about.

I am afraid of this match. Yes, they are having a terrible run of games, and yes, they are playing this utter shite of football, but something tells me that it is going to be a tough match for us, kinda like the one against his 2015 chelsea side, where we were dominating them at SB, only to lose 1-0.
Good thing, that Mourinho is blaming the injuries for this and not looking for his own mistakes.
Leipzig played their first game against Spurs without Upamecano, Konate and Orban (their three best CBs) and Nagelsmann never cried about it. Just went to London, risked Ampadu and it worked out well. Good coaches have solutions for circumstances like this, Mourinho hiding behind the injuries. Of course Kane and Son are big losses, but no chance you can't play better than this in these two games.

Its the negative vibe he brings to all his teams now . He just seems to suck any positivity out off his players . He never looks happy the players don't look happy and the same for the people watching
It's football at the end of the day. Logic doesn't always prevail.
What are the chances he jammies his way to a result against us on Sunday?
Absolutely. Although I really hope that we will keep up our good form, and start pushing on that top4 spot.
When he joined, speaking on his appointment, Jose said: “I am excited to be joining a Club with such a great heritage and such passionate supporters. The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me.”
why isn't he using any of the academy? Why isn't he using the squad that excited him?
yes he has two (key) injuries up top but that shouldn't mean they are this bad almost every game now especially in defence
it's like his season 2 ending and 3 stint at United where there didn't seem to be a plan and just hope for something
he is the special once. This whole thing about it not being a Jose squad is such a bad excuse. Why can't he just manage what he has, otherwise why join this team if you need to buy another 6 players

Well if he doesn't get a result he'll be in serious trouble you'd have to think. If he goes classic Mourinho park the bus tactics it's something we'll really struggle with.
how dare you ask him to use the reserves, I bet you dont even know what they look like. /Jose
Before we signed Bruno. Pogba should also be on the bench, we should have more than enough.
