There's so much more unwanted baggage though when you bring in Jose. Sure I'm not a fan of his football philosophy but he has, through that style, brought success.
But....he's just such a massive miserable divisive toxic c*nt.
I've never felt so depressed watching United in all my life when he was here. And I've yet to see a more depressive fecking face as his too.

Think Spurs are a little fecked here. Doubt they'll have the money to really support a new manager, and the players they've gone for really are the sort you'd expect Jose to do well with.
Jose is so done in management it's unreal. Pack it in.

I never liked Jose's attacks on Wenger.
There's minds game and banter but then there's the crap Jose was spewing. Just constant petty digs.
And to think, Jose himself has become a specialist in failure.
Wenger was perfectly capable of defending himself. I'm not a fan of discouraging manager banter, even if it's dumb or harsh.
Jose was giving it big licks on the documentary how he had a better squad at Spurs than he did with United.
Way to go!
Way to go!
Yep, legit two man team. Or one and a half, really, because Kane is the one who actually makes them tick. He's worth several league places to them on his own.
I was actually wondering this the other day, of all clubs covid must have been awful for Spurs because so much of their business model must be based around filling out the stadium and managing the massive loan repayments. They hired one of the most expensive managers around, backed him financially and now find themselves exactly where every United and Chelsea fan told them where they would be but haemorrhaging money.
My understanding is they're now over £800m in debt? I know they've probably negotiated a very delayed payment on that and are just paying off interest but it's a huge amount of money. I'm Interested to know how they're faring?
Give Jose another two billion pounds and he could "build" you a title-winning side.
I'm wondering too.
The pandemic surely has hit all clubs hard (and as an aside, I do feel like we football fans, myself included, don't really account for that in our constant fan judgements and expectations of our teams perfomances and situations).
But it's pretty messed up if you build a massively expensive new stadium, mustering all the financial strength you have, and then the moment it opens a global pandemic hits and you can't have fans come in and buy tickets for a whole year. And it's not just the football games, the gate receipts, surely the calculation of financing the stadium included all sorts of other events, from the NFL games to rock concerts down to the, I don't know, North London Cheese Fair.
None of it is going on. You have to worry whether the pandemic won't result in clubs going bankrupt, as it will with loads of other businesses.
Tbh, Spurs lost this game because reckless Dier did a stupid stuff to give out a penalty. The fair result is a draw even tough Chelsea has much better intensity but they couldn’t create anything. Spurs were same and have probably 1.25 chances. Just a game they neutralized each other.
He was always massively overrated. In his first stint at Chelsea he had an open chequebook and no FFP, literally the equivelant today of being able to buy De Bruyne, Salah, Lewandowski, Grealish, Rice all in one summer.
Spurs will get rid soon once he starts attacking the board over lack of ambition.

Agreed with the Atleti part. Atletico actually press. Whereas Mourinho teams are passive.
I don’t think Celtic could afford him and I can’t see Jose going up there even if they could. Can you imagine him parking the bus against Hamilton at home
Oh yes, I do agree with you that he would probably never want to go there, but it does look to me exactly like the panic move Celtic would be trying to make this summer, or whenever they do part ways with Lennon.
And yes definitely, it would be huge seeing him park the bus against Hamilton, or spewing crap about football heritage
Off topic, looks like Greg Dyke behind Wenger (under his arm).
Guy to Wenger's right just been told the funniest joke in the world.
And a young Kasper Schmeicel in there too.
Jose has an inexplicable arrogance and stubbornness in persisting with his low-block philosophy. It worked for Porto, Inter Milan and to an extent Chelsea, but football has moved on and so should he.
Although as a United fan, I'm hoping he stays with them for eternity.

Modern football teams have wised up to his "park the bus" tactics. It used to catch out teams who attacked relentlessly, leaving them open to the counter attack. Now every team, even those in the bottom half, knows that if you defend well and press a Jose Mourinho team, his team will struggle to score even a single goal. Get an easy goal from a set-piece and it's very likely to be game over. It's ironic, really.
you gotta love him in a kind of masochistic way. Delle joins a who's who list of players to be thrown under Joses big bus.Has he started talking about eggs yet?
That was very good question, not detail but it’s tactical question and relate to the match itself. Not a non-sense question that I’m sick to hear. And Mourinho refused to answer it.
He has been tactically outdated for quite some time now. It’s funny seeing all the Spurs fans that are now fed up with his style of football especially since they aren’t even winning games let alone trophies.
It never made sense to me going from Pochettino to Mourinho in the first place but one thing needs to stop and that’s Mourinho still being considered one of the top managers because he hasn’t been one since that disaster in his second stint at Chelsea in his final season.

I doubt any manager would see it as anything other than a step up. Especially one with an ego the size of Rodgers.

Mourinho's time has passed, he is clearly overdated. He hasnt reinvented himself at all, its the same tactic over and over again eventhough he's hardly got results with it for years. I see Spurs and I see the exact same way we played, just hoff long balls to Kane (Lukaku) and hope him and a speedster Son (Rashford) do the rest.
Against top opossition he always sets up like the underdog happy to give the other team total control of possesion. Its sad really how much he has fallen, he used to be considered the best manager along with Pep, nowadays you cant even mention them in the same phrase.

Skating on thin ice? Spurs lose to WBA and would Levy pull the trigger? I kind of feel he is safe until the end of the season where the board will sit down and review the team progress. No top four and no trophies he is done Im thinking.
You can get away with his tumescent football style if you are getting results, 2 wins in 10 games and you are on the outs. There would be a chorus of boos for the football Spurs are playing if their fancy new stadium was at capacity.

It's getting worse for him with every passing stint. Now all that's left to do is to go to Arsenal to finish at the lowest point of his career.
Only a matter of time now before he's sacked. Surely he won't scam another relatively big club into signing him after this gig. Reckon he could well be done.
He just can't stop being such a colossal petulant dick, can he? Couldn't stand him before he came here, largely couldn't stand him while he was here, absolutely can't stand him now. Swapping him out for Ole was the best decision this club has made post-Fergie. Wanker.
People have been saying the same thing for 3 jobs now.
Italy will take him back. Once he's pissed off everyone in Milan or Turin than he'll be finished
Seems unlikely they’d sack him while he’s still got the League Cup final and an easy draw in the Europa League to come.
100% on the fans’ reaction though, would’ve been ugly tonight with a full stadium.
Didn't he give it the big one in that Spurs documentary about having a better squad than he did at United?
How's that working out?

It really is amazing how quickly it goes off the rails with him. His club can be on cloud nine come the final whistle on the last day of the season, and then the next season the place turns into a toxic wasteland within 6 months. Real, Chelsea 2.0, us and now Spurs.
Jose looking like he’s losing his shine by the day... him attacking alli is reminiscent of antagonizing pogba when he was with us as well.
Agree with everything here. Football has gone past Mourinho. Football at its core is entertainment. Most fans around the world would probably choose to watch samba flicks and intricate passing than dour tactics that leave you frustrated and bored. People work too long and hard to waste their hard earned free time on 2 hours of Mourinho’s negative tactics.
His hatred of Dele is so weird. Spurs played their best football under Mourinho’s management during those early weeks when Dele was in great form.
He has an attacking midfielder who once scored 18 PL goals in a season (without taking penalties) and he can’t even get on the bench. I don’t care how out of form he is, there’s no way on earth he’s a worse option than Erik Lamela.
Spurs were by a mile the more passive and inferior team and absolutely deserved to lose.
Mourinho refuses to learn his lesson. His entire style of football relies on his defenders making no mistakes which is always going to fail when you don’t have good defenders. If he were really a pragmatist he’d devise a style that actually played to the strengths of his squad.
I agree. Kane brings them back to being a major threat in that match. Fine enough margins. Spurs need some fresh ideas though and Jose is not the man for that. He’s going to have a meltdown soon and it will be glorious to watch from afar.
