As much as Jose seems past it, I feel this could work out great for both the parties. SPurs have some experienced players and Jose would love to manage them. He loves managing underdogs and this could be perfect for him.
Jose Mourinho | Spurs manager
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Son is going to wish he was called up to the South Korean army with all the defensive drills he is about to endure.
Poch somewhat built a team and now Levy wants Mourinho to get them winning trophies. Nothing weird in all this, but is it the long term way for a club that wanted to build something for years to come ? Hopefully he won't murder Levy with his honest comments after two years of managing.
Now you're back to kinda be The enemy, just like in Porto days, but Boa Sorte anyway, Jose and thanks for good moments despite the sacking, there were a few special ones.

My guess is they will finish above us
At least he got Son & Kane now not Sanchez & Lukaku anymore. But I'm interested how he will deal with the unsettle future back four.
Depends on Ole, board and Woodward, but in first two years Jose's teams are doing quite well, indeed. It's gonna be interesting how long till the usual self destruct.
This quick appointment as expected really. The most interesting thing is no Rui Faria on Jose management and i'd wonder is this Joao Sacramento fella a good replacement? lets not forget it really crashed and burned for Jose at United once he lost his right hand man Rui..
I would say that's a very safe bet if we keep the current coaching staff etc.
Spurs to win the champions league 
Long term is mainly Sir Alex thing. 99.99% of world's football clubs will not hold a manager for more than 2/3 seasons with Jorge Jesus being an exception for staying 6 seasons at Benfica and only left because Benfica wanted to reduce his wage.
Are they not already the established #1 PL shithouses?
Kane will be going nowhere either. The team will be built around him.
Agree with this, the team's built with little work to do. If Mourinho can't get them to push on for trophies in their prime then it's unlikely anyone will be able to. I'd imagine the team he leaves behind will need freshening up though.Poch somewhat built a team and now Levy wants Mourinho to get them winning trophies.

HAHA, he'll have no excuses in his 1st one at least.
Whenever he's had that top striker, they do well. Drogba,Costa etc
I feel that many on here (and at Utd) are gonna get a real wake up call with how Mourinho does at Spuds...
He is a serial winner who is absolutely hell bent on -
A - winning trophies
B - proving after Utd that he isn't 'past it'
I would bet good money that he will end Spurs trophy drought, and also pile massive pressure on Utd / Woodward via his success at Spurs.
Ironically - it could actually be the catalyst for Utd to sort themselves out...
Impossible.
Jose doesn't like players with bigger personalities than him around the club
Aye, Jose was kinda right when he said Arsene Wenger is the last long term manager. Perhaps he will remain in Spurs for more than 3 years, after all Pochettino remained for more than 4 years and seriously it looked like he could manage this team for almost 10.
I agree with this.
It's going to be fun watching his spats with the media and other coaches.
It's stopped being boring all of a sudden
People keep saying two good years then it will end in tears.
Even if that's written in stone... at least they will have two years to enjoy
What are the odds we will have two good years upcoming?
We should have just kept him and seen what comes after the third year.
Maybe it's like a cycle where year four and five are good again and then year six is terrible.
No one's ever had the balls to see what happens if you simply clench your teeth and bear the third year unless you count what happened to Chelsea

Thos os the problem of managing groups. Dynamics can change drastically. You just need to ave problems with one player, that automatically others will back him up. What Sir Alex did was something miraculous. Even in companies CEO's keep rotating their managers in order to don't let their teams incompatibilities grow too much.
Perhaps it's now up to Levy to find out, but there is risk when it comes to Jose as he tends to leave his teams in a disarray.
It would be truly great start for Ole if he could copy the first Mourinho season and catch the Champions League by winning the last game of the season.
Switch Spurs for United, United for Chelsea. Woodward for Roman, trophy drought for league drought and that could easily be a post for summer 16.
I have a feeling that he will be a huge success. They could challenge for title next year.
Rumours Levy will unleash a £1m warchest in the summer
Jose knows England very well and knows Premier League's reality more than some of English coaches, I think he was really counting on remaining as Manchester United manager for a very long time, but didn't gave up as he now managing another PL team. Like you said, dynamics change drastically but the Special One still pushing to remain in England after everything, perhaps even for the end of his career. It's actually amazing how much he loves managing in England even despite the reality you just described, correctly I might add.
The Recycled One.
Will also have Fellaini and Matic soon
We would be in the championship
Yup, with just one little difference that Roman actually invest in his enterprise huge millions, while Glazers and Ed leeching on it.
Definitely.
Jose at United was wrong especially after LVG. Completely opposite ends of the scale. He came to a club that focuses on the 'united way', a club that wouldn't really let him bypass players like Rashford & Martial due to the outrage it would cause. Even Rooney I think he only let him go because he was forced to due to the LVG's captain tenure - otherwise I reckon he would keep him.
I absolutely hate Jose but within 2 seasons - he will have Tottenham near the top & spurs will back him because they will feel that this is the closest they have been since a long long time.
Pure Dr EvilRumours Levy will unleash a £1m warchest in the summer
One million pounds!!
He might be, though.
In which case it won't matter that he'll - obviously - try to prove he ain't.
Most managers do have a shelf life. Jose has shown no signs whatsoever of being able to reinvent himself in any way.
Not bad for The Finished One.
Incredible achievement, it truly is.
Time will tell.
My opinion though, is that Mourinho to Spurs will be a massive wake up call for many at Utd (and fans).
Rumours Levy will unleash a £1m warchest in the summer
Mourinho, Mendez and Levy confirmed.
Brand Premiership again. Box office Mourinho in at another club. I wonder how much Sky Sports contributed to his financial package. All very boring.
Yeah but to be fair, if we'd given Mourinho his own way Willian and Perisic would be our starting wingers. He lowered his own coffin while he was with us, he doesn't get the right to be absolved of blame if he does well at Tottenham.
Don't really care much whether Fellaini will join them or no but I will be buzzing if they take Matic. If we are lucky we might be able to get decent cash from him as well
