I think he would. I think it's quite likely he will be our next manager, just have a feeling.
Mourinho to Arsenal/Spurs?

He'd jump at the chance
That being said it would be a terrible appointment for Spurs as they're never going to give him the money to spend he would want
Where else could he go? It would be a massive understatement to say that Arsenal fans despise him.
Look, Mourinho will probably win them a domestic cup or two and get them top 4 over the next 3 seasons. If he does, then it's still more than Poch has ever won.
The lure of staying in London will probably play a massive part.
I feel for you. Not now but in 2-3 seasons.
Sigh, the annoying thing about Jose is we struggle to take maximum points off his sides no matter how good we are. Those points will be vital in a title race. If he takes charge at Spurs it makes our life much more difficult.
Ironic we sacked him with eyes on Poch and now Spurs have sacked Poch and want Mourinho
Should have just done a swap 18 months ago

Erm so? You're 9 points clear and might drop 3 when you play Spurs, you'll still win the thing
He has excellent players in there already. his type of CF. Son, Moura, Lamela on the wings. a good midfield. he would just need to improve the defense with their two main CBs leaving next years.
I’m thinking of future seasons
Spurs have been struggling for morale and motivation. Jose is not the man you bring in for that. Suspect they'd do ok results wise but can't see it doing them much good other than not being in the bottom half.
Jose, a guy who usually has to have the most money, or take over the biggest club in the country, at Spurs?
Surely not.
Surely not.
Would be entertaining at least, but Spurs must be out of their mind.
Can you imagine Mourinho if Kane wants to leave in the summer. His meltdown would be incredible!
So just the six CB signings then
We have Sanchez and Foyth, it's full backs are the real problem.
Apparently Levy decided against Allegri because he wanted too much money for new signings. Between the two, I'd say Jose is the safer choice, plus they alraedy have a pretty strong squad, they don't really need a rebuild. Mourinho is probably the best choice for them for the next year or two, while they wait for Nagelsmann to become available.
mourinho knows his stock isn’t high, so he will agree to anything to get in. Best believe once he is in he will cry about new signings
I'm supremely curious at the idea of José at Spurs, loser club, winner coach = what?
Think he'd want promises of spending from Levy, not sure he'd get it. I would say they do have the core of a team he'd like, but so many of those players seem like they'll be leaving so who knows. He'd love Son/Kane/Ndombele, but a lot of other spots that would need investment, investment that Spurs tend to not do
Spurs is a squad that needs a rebuild with Alderweireld and Eriksen almost definitely leaving, and some shit going on with Vertonghen as well. Add to that them not really having any good fullbacks and the midfield being non existent apart from Ndombele who they signed but hasn't really excelled so far (and Lo Celso who I would see Mourinho playing as more of a 10, or just as part of a 3 with Ndombele and someone else). I dunno. They'd need a lot of investment for him. He'd be happy with Son for sure and Kane for a bit, though if his past year or 2 are anything to go by, not off base to say he's massively declined and not what he used to be.
Sorry, but what a weird post.
So Mourinho would not want money for new signings? That would be something new.
And Spurs do have a reasonably strong squad this year. They wont have next year after losing Eriksen, Aldeweireld, Rose, Vertonghen and who knows with Kane if they miss out on the CL. There is no club in the "top-6" that will be in need of a rebuild as much as Spurs next summer.

If he really wants the job he'll get it I suspect.
I don't think it would be that bad an option for him either. Plenty of players there he's tried to sign in the past (Dier, Toby). Ndombele is the sort of powerhouse midfield he likes aswell.

Yeah but you'd still be short of good defenders. Vertonghen and Alderweireld are full part of the first team. you'd be very light in that department if they're not replaced correctly.
I meant they would both require alot of money, but Jose is more proven in the PL. Their squad needs a refresh, not a total rebuild, and some of those players might actually stay on to play for him. He is at his best when he only needs to plug a couple of holes, he will bring in experienced and proven players and achieve instant results.
The thing with Jose managing spurs is -
if he continues to want players of the mould of Perisic, Matic, Willian's like he did at United to make the numbers of his squad - I don't think he necessarily needs a big transfer budget to break transfer records either.
The spurs squad has arguably one of the world's top 5 'classic number 9' strikers in Harry Kane which Jose only ever uses. He has players cutting in on one side like Son, Delle Alli may improve out of nowhere and start playing like Lampard all of a sudden. Spurs might end up sorting out some of the older players issues in Vertonghen or the others & suddenly Jose has that experience factor he likes.
I think Jose & Spurs will work very well to get that club a kick up the ar*e they need to get them over finish lines.

Sanchez is woeful, have you missed all the goals he's cost you this year just ball watching? Pretty sure Mourinho targeted him as a weak link in the europa league final. Think Foyth is dodgy aswell if you ran at him.
If he gets in think he'll just play Toby and Vertonghen until the summer and then freshen things up.
I would love it if Wenger takes the spurs job.
Imagine the meltdowns at Arsenal fan TV.

Would it hurt? Jose going to Spurs and being successful?
My prediction: Jose in Spurs, Poch in Bayern, Allegri in Arsenal.
"Terrible appointment"? No, absolutely not. Spurs have a very good squad, they just need a manager who can get the best out of them. I predicted that Mourinho is heading to North London and the bookies are off the charts now. If Spurs don't get him I strongly suspect Arsenal will. Definitely Jose's next job is in the PL, that much is obvious.
I just can't see Spurs hiring Jose. It would be a huge step back for them.
They will hire Eddie Howe for sure. Mourinho still has something to offer in management, but Spurs and him are a very bad fit for many reasons. The most obvious being Jose likes to splash endless amounts of cash, whereas Levy does not.

Jose to Spurs would be absolutely amazing. Please let it happen!
That quote is interesting that Levy believes Spurs can still make top 4 hence the early sacking. Yet we are sticking with Ole, already accepting that top 4 is beyond us.
Shows just how far we have fallen as a club when Spurs have got higher ambitions than us.
Spurs feel like the most Mourinho-y club he’d have managed (for the first time) since Inter. Hungry club, underdog, point to prove, trophies still to win.
Lucas Moura to play fullback.
His first fight will probably be with Danny Rose.

Can we split him in half and send him to both Arsenal and Spurs? It will be fun to see him manage with a huge transfer budget..Lol
