I really hope Mourinho has a chance to end the scouser's hopes once again, like he did in 2014. That would be hilarious.
Jose Mourinho | Spurs manager
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Hard to argue with that . Having thought about it another 5mins I think Jose will appreciate Son's effort/work rate too. It will be interesting to see if Jose can get any of his more positive traits back with this team. I could see a moody Jose rubbing someone like Kane the wrong way quickly to be honest.
Mourinho and Levi is a marriage made in hell.
Seems like such a managerial mistake match, the style of Poch and the style of Jose is so different.
I think he will have a good short term impact there because there is obviously a lot of quality in the squad. If his appointment fixes the issue where things had gone stale with Poch then I expect them to finish the season well.
Long term though this is a car crash appointment. Even if Jose was still in his prime, it’s no secret he needs certain players to make his system work, like most top managers and he’s gone to a club who won’t buy them because of tight purse strings.
His appointment also might not prevent a few key players running down their contracts like they have been the last 12 months.

Well that escalated quickly!
I think the squad is perfect for Mourinho. It’s an experienced team with some excellent players, he can definitely get a tune out of them. Most importantly he will re-organise their defence and make them a solid unit again.
The test will be whether he will work well with Levy in the transfer market.

Trophies will motivate the players to at least stay for another year or two to fight for it. Not many managers in the world guarantees trophy, but Mourinho is one of them. Spurs also seems to have players that are more football first than anything, while our squad is more focused on their social media influence... Mourinho don't park the bus every game, only when he doesn't trust his defense or when a draw is considered as a good result. I am also pretty sure that he will trust Alderweireld/Vertonghen/Sanchez more than Jones/Smalling/Bailly/Lindelof.I tend to agree with this. The problem could be that some of those players might not want to be at the club anymore and if Mou lost the dressing room at United how will it go at Spurs with players already wanting out and in general being underpaid compared to what other clubs offer. The style of play also has to matter here; going from an attacking high pressing play (when it worked) to a park the buss one might further drive out some players.
Interesting times.
He will do well in first part and then drop a bait to Levy for contract extension, after that if Levy bites, comes "sack me" scam = $$$$$.
Also interested how media will be treating him from a get go, will be different from his United days, another good thing is that fat cnut from the Sun might ask to be moved to London.

I dont know why people are laughing at it. He will do quite well there and Levy has started spending money as well. Team he has at Spurs now, is probably the best he can dream of (for his style).
Absolute huge units of midfield , defense that would be fine to play deep, pact wingers and a brilliant striker. Imagine playing against Wanyana,Dier,Sissoko and Ndombele in the midfield and someone needs a goal ?
There will be no pressure of playing attacking style either. This probably a dream job in terms of expectations as well. With his reputation he could even have the players stay - if not all at least Toby and Verts.

Hopefully Pogba can turn up
Thrilled to hear that.
I hated Mourinho the United manager , but I loved Mourinho the entertainer. Both on the pitch and off it. The PL wasn't the same without Jose, so glad he's back.
I expect them to steady over the season with a lot of good wins and some terrible losses, next season they'll give everyone a run for their money and win something for sure, and the season after that everyone will fall out with each other and Jose will get a payout.

Oh my days. This is brilliant.
Mourinho mentioned he liked him and praised his qualities. With Mou at the wheel i can see him and others staying put.
Wow. Just wow.
Wonder how the Spurs fans are taking this/spinning this.
Only see trouble.
Jose soon becoming a top 6 w*ore.
Hopefully Liverpool in 2 years time.
And City 2 years after that.

The amount of salt he’s about to spew about his time at United, this should be fun.
For all the reasons you have for sacking Pochettino, it is strange to think that Jose is the answer. This might as well be his last chance at the top top level. So, he might leave out his grumpy self and might change his methods. But, that's what I hoped to happen after his appointment to us.
If he signs a contract that is.
He's looking to finish in Spain. We all know that
He’s back home with his family in London. Surely unstoppable Mourinho is now
You know, I don't think he will.
He didn't lay into former clubs after being sacked...not in the bitter way you'd expect
2 good years coming for Spurs and a crash of Titanic proportion in the 3rd year. Enjoy this high Spurs fan ,,you know exactly what you have signed for..
He was in London with Chelsea, look how that turned out
I have a feeling he'll make them challengers by next season.
A hard working goal scorer= Jose's Wet dream
I love the premier league
This is gonna be good
A league title?
I think you'll win, similar to when we first played Jose's United.feck sake, he will be visiting us in 2 weeks time. Will definitely win with 'tactical masterclass.'
Numerous players will be desperate to get one over on him which will be a lot more powerful than one manager trying to get one over a bunch of players.
Although you will start seeing why we turned against him, he will show your club zero respect from now on.
Mourinho
Mourinho about to turn Sonaldo into the best left back in the world.
3 league titles. Not too bad. Granted it was the old Mourinho.
This will be.. Well.. Interesting.
Only if on top of trophies they are promised market level salaries which is 200k or more. So probably not.
Potentially a dangerous combo because he wants to prove he can still do it after what happened here and at Chelsea.
Can see him doing well this season, even better next season and then in the 3rd season the wheels falling off after another meltdown.

He will do well for awhile, then it will collapse. Obviously.
But they'll finally win a trophy again, that I'm certain of. I think its a good short term hire.

A serious Jose is still a very strong tactical manager who also happens to have a very strong ego / resolve. If he's up for it, he's always dangerous. Now is he up for it? That's another question and I don't think so, but who knows. All I want is to beat them up twice in the league. The rest doesn't matter.
I really dont see it between how Spurs is run and what Jose will want.
But best of luck to Jose, didnt work out here for him, fair enough, sometimes these things dont work out. Might watch the next Spurs game, who do they play next? I agree they definitely have some Jose style players in Dier, the Belgian CB's, Kane, Son, Ndombele. Lets not forget they have real quality in the team, when the players can be azzed, certainly better than 14th. Maybe Jose can get a tune out of them until those want away players get their moves to other clubs. Maybe not.
But they also have a bunch of players that want out for a variety of reasons. Eriksen, Rose, Aurier, Wanyama, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, not sure how many of them wanted to leave just because of Pochettino. Probably none of them, so hiring Jose doesnt solve any of those issues. Eriksen wants trophies, Alderweireld more money, Vertonghen a final pay day, same with Rose, Aurier back to France, Wanyama stepping down a level from PL because of physical injuries. Changing manager does zero to address any of those problems.

I cant see how Jose is going to be successful, they have what 3 or 4 1st team players out of contract this summer and notoriously dont spend money that's a proper rebuild if they lose those players.
And the Jose apologists on this thread are hilarious and will be unbearable if he does well there.
Please sign Matic Jose thanks

He was going to get Dier at all costs. Even if it meant managing a tier 4 club to do so.
The problem that Jose will have to face is the same that Poch would have faced. 2 average left backs, 2 average right backs. 2 world class centre backs who are going in the summer. And a world class midfielder leaving too.
But I do agree with your post. Jose will in the short term get them playing. I said in another thread that January and next summer would be huge for Poch regarding transfers. The same applies for Jose
That's my point.
He was found wanting tactically against Pep,Klopp,Conte and younger managers(including Poch ironically enough).
Not sure he's going to change
Something tells me Levy will back him in the transfer market. They've been consistently improving, albeit slowly, for the last 10 years. Now they are in a position to capitalise on the infrastructure and penny pinching over the years, this is a club on the up, and have done it the right way. 2-3 Top quality signings in, and if he can keep hold of the top players all there, wouldn't surprise me if he can close the gap on scouse and city. That's if he has his mojo back (he's back in London with his family so he'll be buzzing).
On the other hand it could all go tits up and he'll be crying at the beginning of the season because Levy is being a tightwad and be gone by next Christmas.
