When Jones took over they were in 18th place, 11 points ahead of bottom placed Newport. They are now 23rd & 2 points behind Newport. Under Jones they have slid down the table at a rate of knots. I am pretty sure if Mourinho took over in similar circumstances then Hartlepool would not be in the dire position they find themselves in now.

Maybe Hartlepool should have appointed Mike Flynn as based on what he has achieved at Newport, he would probably have made a better fist of it than Dave Jones.
