That he would never join them because he respects the Chelsea fans so much.
Jose Mourinho | Spurs manager
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Poch took the club forward yet won nothing, I just hope Levy has picked a chequebook manager as he is willing to spend some.
feck do I
They were laughing at us for suggesting Poch would be a good fit at Utd;that Spurs were a better long term project etc
To be honest that's more disrespectful to Chelsea than us.
Will be interesting to see his first eleven on Saturday and how they set up.
That's the big thing for me. A lot of the aging stars want out, and the budget isn't there to replace them all, so you'd need a couple of kids to step up and support the new signings, but Mourinho won't like that at all.
Questions should be asked as to why Poch wasn’t backed financially but Jose has to
I predict a 1-9-1 formation
That's true. The game against them should be good. Both that and the game against us will show if our managers are up to the task against a very experienced manager. Frank has a lot of time on his side, Ole is more experienced and will need to show he has the tactical nous. Should be fun all round.
I thought you brits also used this expression.
XL Samsonites, more likely.
Levy can’t spend enough under FFP to buy Jose the PL and CL. Jose’s ego won’t let him settle for anything less. He’s not going to come in behind Pep every year. No way. Great payday coming for Jose but I’m unclear what Spurs get out of this deal.
That's pretty obvious no? We had just built a new training ground and then a new stadium? Poch was brought in knowing that there would be very little funds and he would have to rely on youth. Its just timing, Levy invested in the summer, and by all accounts was going to invest further but couldn't get Bruno over the line.
For his ego alone

Why not? He wasn’t so expensive given the market
I don't think we need to worry about FFP as its based over a 5 year spend. I get you point but do you not think that considering we have been talking to Jose since October all this might have been discussed? It would be very odd to hire a manager without a joint up plan.
We had agreed with the player, he has stated that himself, they pulled out of negotiations last minute as far as I know.
The only thing predictable is Mourinho will make a lot of money. Like many, I'm shocked Spurs would go down this road. I think he'll last 2 years. He'll be fired in November or December in 2021. His stay here showed so many times that he is half the manager he used to be.
Well I for one am delighted that Jose Mourinho has a new job.
Whatever anyone says, he is a terrifically successful manager and I don't buy the view that he is a has been.
I do accept though that this is probably his last opportunity to show that he can coach at the top level and look forward to seeing him achieving success with Tottenham.

Why would you assume that? There is nothing to substantiate that. He wanted to try his hand at managing.
We use 'baggage' but usually in negative connotations e.g. 'it was a great date but she was carrying a lot of baggage from her last relationship so I didn't want to get involved'.

He did like McTominay but he only used him initally as we had alot of injuries. Winks is player i dont see jose using especially in midfield defo not his type.
I didn’t realise he was managing, I assumed he’d get a job in Europe but seems he settled for money in the desert.
Well, he won the title for CFC.
Then he joined us and won 2 trophies in his first year. In his 2nd year, he finished 2nd (with a squad which was far from great). To put this into context, this season, we are hovering mid-table and some fans are accepting that it may be several years until we reach the dizzy heights of 2nd place.
It bemuses me that fans cannot look at the facts objectively.
The problem at Spurs is that he won't have a big budget to spend and that just isn't very Mourinho like. Unless of course he sells Kane, then uses that money to rebuild the squad to his liking. That could work.
If he's backed in the market he'll bring a trophy or two to Spurs. He'll be desperate to prove he's not a has-been; I can see a motivated Jose.
Half of me thinks Spurs has gone bonkers for hiring Jose but the other half of me feels this will be bad news for us.
I have no clue how this is going to work but this will be interesting to see!
Time will tell, I like Winks so I’d be sorry to see him lose his place. But if he comes in and we improve and start winning it will be hard to argue with how he gets on.
It may turn out good for Jose. He'll have one of the best strikers in the world at his disposal and we've seen it before what Jose can do if he has a constant source of goals. He can focus on organization of the team and just let Kane do his thing.
Nah I think Jose will set the team up to feed Kane.
I understand why people argue he failed here, but while he left the club in acrimonious circumstances he did win the league with Chelsea? Not sure I would class that period a failure.
I think that will be his plan.
I'm getting a distinct feeling of Inter deja-vu with his appointment, I think he will do very well.
He won't require much backing, and by selling Kane to us for stupid money he will be able to fix some of the personnel issues in defense.
Spurs will love him as long as he wins a trophy - which he will - and he will make Tottenham the biggest shithouse club in the league.

I think this is a very good fit for Spurs and JM. He always wins trophies and Spurs really need one from this 'golden' period. He also has the player types he likes in important positions. He has a World class peak striker, Solid midfield, a creative 10, genuine ability out wide. I completely get why he has jumped at the chance. I hope they burn out quickly as the norm but I would be amazed if he did not succeed, back in London too.
That was my initial feeling as well.
Welcome back, guy.
If I didn't know any better, after reading some of these comments, I'd think he hasn't won a single thing in his career.
Yeah, they have just bought in a really really bad manager who always fights and stuff.
He will play kane and son in defence
Can anyone remember some of the disrespectful things Jose said about United while he was managing us?
I'm sure he belittled us at times.

He will teach Alli to be an even bigger cnut I'm sure.
