Andros Townsend thinks Jose Mourinho needs to ‘sell’ Tanguy Ndombele because his current situation with the Tottenham midfielder could result in the player ‘turning’ the chairman against his manager and getting him the sack. Ndombele struggled for form and fitness in his debut season in England. He scored twice and registered four assists in 29 appearances. Mourinho was prepared to give Ndombele a second chance. But according to The Sun, the Portuguese has now given up and is ready to cash in. Crystal Palace winger, Townsend, warned that situations such as this could turn on the manager and he could end up getting the sack if he doesn’t deal with it properly. “I remember when Ndombele first joined Spurs and all the players were raving about him and about how good he is,” Townsend told talkSPORT. “But managers prefer different systems and different players. For one reason, or another, Jose Mourinho’s just not interested in that type of player. I have seen it before where the manager has publicly come out and criticised the player. If you keep that player in your squad after criticising him and it keeps festering. He maybe speaks to his agent saying ‘I need to leave’. He speaks to the chairman saying ‘You spent all this money on me, I need to be playing’. “It can end up on the player turning the chairman against the manager and maybe, in the end, getting the manager the sack. For Jose Mourinho, if he doesn’t fancy the player he has got to sell him for his own good.”
