Would like to see spurs go for Eddie Howe but in all honesty god knows who they have lined up for this. As previously mentioned great job but will levy loosen the purse strings as it's a massive rebuild in the summer. Can now see erikson and a few others leave for sure now

It's all about context. Incredibly unlikely to win anything at Southampton or Spurs in the current climate of English football, he did remarkably well to lift the squad they have to the UCL final when they really shouldn't have been anywhere near it.

Spurs have hardly signed a player in two years due to their ‘parsimonious’ chairman. They are losing players such as Rose and Aldeweireld who are running down their contracts and refusing transfers.

Spurs will have no defence left in 18 months at this rate.

Poch has done an amazing job there on a budget that is way below the other top-six teams.

Only way of progression is by spending money, there is a fantastic squad there, just need to add a bit more quality and whoever comes in can push the team on to the next level. I can’t see the chairman splashing though, he’s a tight *******.

A poor, and at times shambolic, Arsenal won 3 FA cups in the time Pochetino was at Spurs. He did an incredible job all things considered but it’s not unreasonable to have expected him to have won a domestic cup at some point. They are a nearly team, a couple of FA cup semi finals, a champions league final and, as one article I read put it, somehow finished 3rd in a two horse race the season Leicester won it, but nothing to show for their golden era.

You would think that Mourinho wouldn’t touch the Spurs job unless he was promised funds to progress. He has spoken multiple times about how it would cost money for teams to challenge City and Liverpool. I’m excited to see what he can do at Spurs, he will have a point to prove after his stint at United. This break could see him come back stronger than before. He has won trophies at every club he has been at, I hope he can add another one to his tally here.

There’s always one.

Spurs were perennial underachievers for years before Poch took over. He’s done an amazing job in challenging circumstances until the wheels fell off this summer.

They should have sold eriksen in the summer and refreshed the squad, but they didn’t back the manager.

I think this decision is going to work out a lot more expensive for them.

Won nothing with a great squad. Best spurs side in 50 years and he wins less than the worst Arsenal in 25. Amazing how the media bummed them up despite being total bottlers.

The budget argument doesn't work either. Just because he was able to secure top players for cheap doesn't mean achieving nothing with them is acceptable. About time he moved on, as far as he was going to take them.

20-11-2019, 01:43 AM
Our issue this season is having a large number of the players wanting to move on.

Rose has wanted a move for two years yet nobody wants him for our valuation.

Toby was available for £25m however nobody touched him. Vertongen looks disinterested.

dele Ali has been brutal and barely kicked a ball since the media bigged him up after the Real Madrid game a few years back.

We have lamela getting a new bumper deal last season when let’s be honest he’s been brutal since he came in.

Christian has made no secret that he thinks he can perform at a higher level and they wonder why nothings been won.

Full clear out needed and it’s a massive job for whoever takes it on.

It's a shame; he did a tremendous job at Spurs, making them Champions League regulars, reaching the final, and all whilst having a relatively small budget. I guess 25 points from the last 24 league games did for him. Rumours of splits in the camp, extra-marital affairs and all sorts of issues creating problems. He'll get an even bigger than Spurs I reckon; he's been linked with Man United a lot.

From Spurs perspective I can see why they’ve done it. Don’t have the stats to hand, but there league form in 2019 is horrendous and the champions league run papered over those cracks. They wouldn’t have made the top 4 if things were to continue IMO, and Pochetino has made noises about leaving anyway, so if someone like Jose is available now us maybe the time to accelerate a parting of the ways that seemed inevitable. Gives them a better chance of making the top 4 and getting Jose in before someone else does.

It’s still a massive gamble though and I’d rather have a manager like Pochetino, who is on the way up, doing a rebuild than someone like Mourinho who is arguably on the way down. I’d actually quite enjoy watching the irony of Mourinho turning into Wenger and being left behind by the times.

Mourinho’s record-

P: 909 W:589 D:186 L:134
Win ratio: 64.8%

One of the greatest managers in football history. Many managers with success always get challenged with talking over a club which isn’t already a title contender and doing a job with them to prove their quality. This is Mourinho’s time, he took this job wanting to prove to the world how good he is.

The_Exile
20-11-2019, 10:16 AM
Mourinho is excellent tactically, both in his prep and during the game, if somethings not working he'll change it, whether it be 5 minutes in or 75 minutes in. He adapts during games better than anyone I can think of off the top of my head. I have a vague recollection of his first stint at Chelsea being known for his ruthlessness and making all 3 subs before half-time! He was playing a 'minnow' in the FA Cup and he put the same prep in, handing over all his scouting and match prep documents to the opposition manager afterwards to show him the work that's needed to reach the top, this manager said it took him nearly a month to go through it all.

However, for all the good points about Jose, there's a few worrying traits. When it goes bad, it goes bad rapidly and never seems to ends well. Can't think of any youth players that he's nurtured who've gone on to be top players, i.e. he needs big money to succeed, although this wasn't the case at Uniao de Leiria or Porto, and don't think he spent much at Inter either. His style of play can be quite negative (although I don't mind that as I love watching a good defensive counter-attack team just as much as a free-flowing attacking one). I don't think that'll be the case at Spurs initially though as he has excellent attacking players to choose from.

I've followed Spurs longer than Hibs, so I know how up and down this team are, much like us to be honest. Will be interesting to see how much is spent in the summer and what kind of reaction he gets from the squad.

ekhibee
20-11-2019, 10:28 AM
Without a doubt he's an arrogant little prick, but he used to be a really top class manager. IMO he never matched his achievement of winning the CL with Porto, it's a bit different when you've got all that Russian oil money behind you at Chelski. Don't know if he's quite as good as he was, I don't really think he'll be able to make this Spurs team tick the way Pochettino used to and it could all go pear-shaped for Daniel Levy, Mourinho isn't exactly the most popular manager either, but if he gets them a European place or maybe a cup along the way I reckon the fans will put up with him. I'd be surprised if he was there for more than 2 seasons, but that's just my opinion.

It will be very interesting to see how things go. Being a Chelsea legend, Mourinho has to win the Spurs fans over, yet his reputation for pragmatism at the expense of entertainment isn't something Spurs are known for. He will need to make a good start, as there seems to be a lot of affection for Poch. Given Spurs have their new stadium to pay for, he mightn't have a lot to spend, but there is an excellent squad waiting for him, even if a few want to leave.

Mourinho and Spurs aren't a combination I expected to see. It will probably be either a massive success or a car crash, with no in-between.

Yeah, I don't see it like that at all.

I think he's brilliant and love listening to what he has to say.

He's one of the most successful managers of all time and prob still in the top 5 around just now.

If he's finished then God help almost every other manager out there.

He'll win plenty more league titles and probably Champs Leagues before he retires.

I don’t think it’s being led by the media to question whether Mourinho is yesterday’s man. The way it ended in his second spell at Chelsea and at Man U pose questions about whether his man management still works with the players of today IMO. He did win two trophies at Man U, but is second place, a league cup and a Europa League enough for the £391m he spent on players?

It will be interesting to see how he gets on, particularly as he won’t have the same amount of money to spend as he is used to. I don’t think he will win any of the big trophies until Guardiola and Klop leave.

Big decision. If they want Poch, they will sound him out to ascertain whether he's interested before sacking Ole. It's a ruthless business.

I don’t think it’s being led by the media to question whether Mourinho is yesterday’s man. The way it ended in his second spell at Chelsea and at Man U pose questions about whether his man management still works with the players of today IMO. He did win two trophies at Man U, but is second place, a league cup and a Europa League enough for the £391m he spent on players?

It will be interesting to see how he gets on, particularly as he won’t have the same amount of money to spend as he is used to. I don’t think he will win any of the big trophies until Guardiola and Klop leave.

2nd and Europa winners was the best he could do with that squad IMO. Considering he was up against a Man City side who finished on 100 points, that was a great achievement.

If he can convince some of Spurs top players to stick around and get Levy to loosen the purse strings, he will bring them silverware.

Mourinho clearly just happened to be in the club shop trying on a pair of trousers when he got the call.

Its how all big clubs operate.....

Yeah, I don't see it like that at all.

I think he's brilliant and love listening to what he has to say.

He's one of the most successful managers of all time and prob still in the top 5 around just now.

If he's finished then God help almost every other manager out there.

He'll win plenty more league titles and probably Champs Leagues before he retires.

Don't think he'll win anymore Champs Leagues.

Titles maybe, but that will be if he gets a job like Bayern or PSG where you can't fail to win it.

He was an excellent manager in his prime. He hasn't changed his ways to move on with the times though. He'll be sacked this time next year.

His last Champions League win was only 9 years ago. Hardly a lifetime away. I certainly wouldnt bet against him winning it again.

It really just shows you just how critical people are these days. A guy who has won everything, is talked about like he is a dud. I find it bizarre to be honest. Even where he hasnt done particularly well at a club, he still delivered silverware.

They'd kill for that now. Considering he didn't have a say on half those players or they were desperate 2nd choices, he done really well. 100x the manager Oli is.

Cant see Man U getting shot of Ole this quickly, they're going in a new direction with young talented players and recently they've been scintillating and a joy to watch. Ole will get another window to move on some and bring others in.

My season ticket holding brother in law has described them to me as many things over the past month, scintillating has not been one of them.

I've watched the last 3-4 games and they just seem to have clicked, getting rave reviews from Shearee etc. I think getting a system and regular team every week has made a difference, Rashford, Martial, Periera and James have been brilliant recently, plus playing some very good youngsters. I can see what they're trying to do, young hungry youngsters similar to what Lampard is trying at Chelsea.

He watches them home and away and would be more than happy to see Olly moved on, I’m loving his displeasure 😁

They've flashed lately but they're still miles off anything. If potch is available and willing they should move now and never look back.

Joao Sacramento has been brought in as Jose's assistant, 29 year old who was assistant manager at Lille last season and technical assistant at Monaco the year they won Ligue 1. Luis Campos, Lille's Sporting Director has also been rumoured to be joining the club in a similar role

Manchester Utd are anything but scintillating at the moment.

I don't necessarily blame Solskjær he can only play with the squad he's got. The players they have there are miles away from the standard they need.

Mourinho just been named as new spurs coach. Wow that could be a huge step backwards ...

Pretty sure Mourinho has won at least one trophy with every club he has managed.
The guys a winner 😉

He finished 2nd and won 2 trophies with the current United side, he said himself that was his greatest achievement. Style of play being negative is such an exaggeration. Only at United because they were really poor. His real and inter sides were excellent to watch.

He spent hundreds of millions at United and was punted because they were awful and terrible to watch. They were going to Anfield and parking the bus total anti football.

Because the money spent, not all by him, signed weak 2nd choice players. Only Pogba and Zlatan were top tier signings.

His United were infinitely better than Olis. Amazing he hasn't been punted yet.

Man Utd
Chelsea

Folk say he's spent massively at these clubs, name me one manager of these clubs that hasn't spent massively in the last decade? Real Madrid spend massively every season it seems, same with Man Utd, and since Abramovich took over at Chelsea he's went mad with the cash. Jose Mourinho has not gone in to these clubs and spent the money without the club knowing, that money has been available to spend so of course you're going to go out and spend it, any manager would! Allegri, Pellegrini, Guardiola, Ancelotti, all spent mammoth amounts of money on players too and nobody says they have bought success?

I'm going to predict that he'll be a big success at Spurs and he'll win something. Or he'll last a year tops. :greengrin

Yeah I'm not disputing that. But IMO he hasn't bought success any more than those other managers on that list.

Mourinho reported to be on £15m per year, only Guardiola is on more money in Europe apparently, it’s also roughly double the amount that Pochettino earned.
