Matt Doherty knew it wasn’t going great at Tottenham, but who better to confirm that realisation than Jose Mourinho?
The Republic of Ireland international had been with Spurs less than a season, with the Special One going above and beyond to sign him.
"He told me that I was his number one choice to come in. He even said to me that if the chairman came to him and said that he could only have one signing in the summer, I was the only one he wanted. So who would say no to that?” Doherty said in the months after Mourinho’s inevitable demise in North London.
