Obviously they discussed all those issues first. Mourinho wd definitely have given Levy his conditions before signing. If he manages to retain the contract rebels he will definitely do well. He has a decent squad already, and the new manager should get them buzzing.
Jose Mourinho | Spurs manager
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Think he will get them top 4.He's going to really love next month's visit to Old Trafford.
Got a feeling Spuds are going to be like a new team.
I recall he said mostly good things about Chelsea and fans before first meet. Then when he got mixed reception (to put it mildly), that must have hurt. Later when he found that there is little love left in Chelsea fans for him, he turned.
I expect him to take few shots at Ed mainly but how far he goes can also depend on reception he will get. If he gets good reception and doesn't get booed, he may not go too far in verbal battle.
I'm sick and tired of calling names in this place. It's a bit immature.
You think they can realistically reach the final again?
Full of something but it really isn’t the sort he has done his best work with.
Irrespective his best work was in a different era his ideas became dated as was his man management techniques
Unlucky Spurs.
Well, he doesn't mention Europe and makes a general point about "grandest clubs". Inter isn't in the same division than Porto and Tottenham when it comes to grandeur, money, squad or achievements. Inter are a club that reached the CL QF and SF in the 2000s and were continually considered like one of the potential winners, they failed until 2010 but they weren't actual underdogs nor not a great club.
The real winners in this entire saga are Amazon.
What a season to pick up Spurs for the documentary. Successful or not, Mourinho would make the show a must-watch.

Spurs are going to be absolute shitehouses now aren't they?
They were already one of the dirtiest teams in the league. People like Alli, Dier are going to be in their element.

I seen the announcement at work and was taken back by it despite also expecting the appointment to happen. It should be entertaining and I'm hyped to see how Jose Mourinho manages Tottenham Hotspur.
1st season : "Zis season, I started with Zothem at 14th. Then We finish 8th. We have plans and I will do my best."
2nd season : "We brought ze correct players, it could be better. I am NOT saying I NEED more, it could be better. But me and the board, Levi, are on ze same page, always in ze same page. We finish 7th, better than first season, league is tough. More smaller clubs with TV money."
3rd season : "We finish 8th again. But it's okay, my best achievement was getting zis club from 14th to 8th with such a limited budget. Now before you say I'm failed. Let's talk about where was zis club before I came in? That is football HERITAGE, bottling champions league, heritage, always lost against big clubs, heritage. Respect respect respect."

Thats terrible tbh.
Spurs will finally win something I guess
We gave him a good reception when he first returned. It was only after he started belliting our success that season, acted like he was above the club and fans because he's historically our most well decorated manager and making continuous pot shots at Conte we turned. Look at the receptions Mata, Cech and Lampard got after returning with rivals, Jose would have got the same and more on every return if he kept his mouth shut.
I imagine he will only get worse if Lampard beats him, that will be the ultimate kick the balls for Mou.
If you beat Spurs in a few weeks, he'll do the same to United, Ole, the fans.

Come on now, it's not like Mourinho is known for moving goalposts.
Although its been hard to forget, I still managed to forget just how many on here absolutely adore this bloke.
Wow this is madness!
Can any mod add Spurs to the list of my supported clubs?? Please

Wow. This was obviously in the works before Pochettino's sacking. I know he was an early favourite but I'm a bit surprised all the same. Massive shift in playing style on the cards for Spurs and it will be interest to see how some of their key players take to Jose. A few may also be worried he just doesn't rate them at all.
On paper seems a weird one. Levy notoriously tight on money hiring a manager who is historically very demanding of his clubs on transfers. Can already see that as a massive red flag.
But yes if he wants to take Matic from us that would be great.

It is.
But jokes aside I feel like this is going to be a successful appointment tbh. They have dirty & physical players, a proper number 9 and They thrive on kicking the shit out of their opponents. Very Mourinho-esque.
As usual with Mourinho, he'll do pretty well for 2-3 years and then the wheels will come off and he'll be hounded out of London.
Not a bad appointment, but not a great one, either.

Ah crap. They're definitley going to win something now, aren't they.
Our most successful manager in the last 7 years.
Although, that is a bit like being taller than Danny DeVito.
Unfortunately yes. This actually might be their time now
I dislike Morinho as much as any (logical) United fan, but people here who think he hadnt talk to Levy about transfer stragety before joining are delusional.
Morinho will want to use Spurs as a way to proof that he is still a top manager, and I am quute intimidated by a Morinho with something to prove. Hopwfully he really is a past it manager abd he takes them nowhere.

League Cup or Europa is probably about the smell of it...maybe a Charity Shield
I can't see Levy spending what's needed for a League title.

So he was hired by a under achieving club in Europe to win the CL, who were underdogs in CL.
Obviously it's not exactly same as Spurs.
Don't think it's as set in stone as made out.Unfortunately yes. This actually might be their time now
He's won trophy's at every club so far but he also won the league at every club before United.
Who could have predicted this a few months ago? Nobody in their right mind could have imagined Mourinho becoming Spurs manager. This what makes football so interesting and unpredictable. Tbh I can't even have an opinion on it and I'm certainly not going to say he'll fail or succeed or whatever because I haven't got a fecking clue, and I don't believe anyone else can predict what will happen either.
I love having this guy back in Premier League.
Welcome to the hood, Jose!
Im not sure how successful he will be, I do have love for the Spurs cuz it is where I live but I know one thing for sure...
It will be entertaining baby!!!

He'll sign Fellani in the Jan window.
Agreed.
Not sure about the potential winners, they were always seen as the club who makes up the number in CL but from bigger league.
Anyways I can see the similarities between Spurs and Inter but at different levels. Spurs are underdogs, Inter were in CL.
Would love to be a fly on the wall when he goes to Levy demanding £40m to sign Fellaini and £20m to sign Matic.
Even if they weren't underdogs last season, he's picking them up as underdogs now.
Or signing a player for £50m and then just sticking him on the bench for 9 months, just got the lolz
There are some big decisions to be taken at Spurs. Will he try to convince the "out of contract rebels" to re-sign or just let them go.
I think a couple of them might stay, otherwise Levy would have got rid of last summer.
Apparently Poch wanted to get rid of the stars like Erikssen in order to start a new cycle.
Levy was not so convinced,so maybe that s why he did not sell the out of contract rebels

No they weren't, there is a reason why people always thought that they were underachieving. You can't claim that they weren't potential winners and also claim that by not winning it, they underachieved. Mourinho was also hired to specifically win it and put an end to the underachievement.
