"However, Levy isn't completely negligent. Surely he has a break clause/ maximum pay out in the contract."
Jose isn't negligent either, he will have wanted to protect himself in this situation too.

Isn't Mourinho repped by Pini Zahavi? That guys knows his onions and no way he lets Mourinho sign a contract without a bunch of hefty payoffs included.
There's almost zero chance Levy will sack him now, and unless a better candidate presents himself on a platter, e.g. Allegri, there's no reason he should yet.
If your gunna get anything out of Jose you have to give him a 2nd season. It's a defense thrown around loosely in football but he's got the CV to back it up. Every single job has gotten progressively worse but the common trend is his teams peak at 24 months, no reason to suspect that'll change with Spurs when the cause of this current downward spike is plainly obvious & something that was 100% Levy's fault (failure to to invest in backup CF's).
After next season, if Levy had any wits about him, he'll sack him even if you win the league. But until then, unless something very devastating is a possibility (like relegation) doesn't make sense too.

Yes it's like we have kept raising with a bad hand so we might as well keep going in the faint hope of winning something.

Interesting way of looking at it
As a Chelsea fan I'm kind of in two minds about this situation for Mourinho. On the one hand I completely understand the difficulties having no focal point strikers presents him, having an off the shoulder type is already a compromise but having none at all ruins him tactically. None of his teams have ever demonstrated the sophisticated passing patterns required to break down teams utilizing a false 9 and/or strikerless system. He's out of his depth with this particular problem.
But on the other hand I can't help but think he's had this coming. He's p!ssed & moaned for years about the most frivolous problems in his squads, in 2014 went as far as saying he had no strikers with Torres, Eto'o & Ba all fit lol, and now he's got a legit massive problem & no-one's buying it ..... it's really hard not to laugh at that.
