Jose Mourinho | Spurs manager

Ah okay, I used to read this forum since maybe I was 14 or so, and I feel like I remember him posting back then (16 years ago)
Problem is, you don't appoint Jose for the big picture, even in his prime he wasn't that type of manager.
To justify his appointment you have to win the PL or CL and you have to do it quickly.
I can't imagine you really care THAT much though
Oh I don’t. Bane of my life is a bit strong. He’s been a chronic irritant though. I can’t be the only one who’s noticed.
That's not true really. He has made you worse. It was bad, but definitely not this bad.
Would Pochs team not have registered a single shot on target against relegation fodder like Bournemouth in his spiral down? I haven't check, but I can bet he didn't.
Does anyone remember that 'jinx' where we'd say things like, 'there's no way RVP doesn't play' while he was at Arsenal and for ages the Jinx was was 'working' (not that I actually believe that crap)I did it for jinxing purposes, you know, just in case.
Wow, it's really funny to watch them being piss poor. They're really in trouble. José will destroy them in no time.
I firmly believe in jinxing. Experienced the negative side of it waaaay to much not tooDoes anyone remember that 'jinx' where we'd say things like, 'there's no way RVP doesn't play' while he was at Arsenal and for ages the Jinx was was 'working' (not that I actually believe that crap)
Yep, to stomach Jose you have to be winning trophies and they have to be the big ones.
We won a couple of trophies with him and almost won a couple more and it was still unbearable.
If the results are bad, he's as bad a manager as you can have because the performances will always be rotten.
I didn't say he was the one who bought the lad, obviously i know he didn't but that with all the noise coming from the Spurs he already managed to alienate their record signing and is reluctant to give him a proper chance. Allegedly N'dombele is looking for a way out and with the way he's been used at Spurs, they'll be lucky to recover half of the fee paid for him. So in a way he is damaging to Spurs, at least financially.
The only poster I have on ignore.
I (unfortunately) have watched every second of every match we have played for the last year and I can assure you that under Poch we were at least as bad as this. It has been that bad believe me.
You could view it that way or you could ask why a professional player is seemingly unable to complete a full 90 mins of football because he is unfit and out of shape. If I was his manager I'd be spitting feathers. If N'dombele leaves in the summer believe me I'll be glad to see the back of him. A total disaster of a transfer so far.
Sometimes even then it's debatable.
Obviously not with Porto, us the first time and Inter, but there was defiently some question marks about whether the title was enough to make up for the other rubbish with Real and especially us the second time round, one of my freinds keeps using the quote "we sold our soul for a league title".
I don't think that extremely, but I'm not sure that title was worth losing KDB for looking back and I certainly wouldn't want to lose our current talent for a quick title at this point.
With spurs it would most certainly would be
Good job done!I did it for jinxing purposes, you know, just in case.
Tottenham are financially screwed. That fancy new stadium cost a bomb but they are getting no revenue from it due to not being allowed fans in the stadium due to Covid19. Also no NFL or concerts for the foreseeable future too. I don't think Spurs will break into the top four in the premier league for 5 to 10 years. Makes it even worse having Jose Mourinho as a manager as they can't afford to sack him. They are truly in a mess
Ole complained about Uniteds fitness when he took over from Jose. Someone did a video comparison of a rondo session during a Jose practice to one from an Ole practice and the difference was stark. If Spuds players arent fit then that suggests theres a pattern here
Levy is genuinely an idiot. I would feel sorry for Spurs fans but I dont want to
He hasn't been fit enough from the day and hour he got to the club.
True, no defending him on that but then again how unfit must he be considering that Mourinho's teams don't tend to run all that much? Also there's the history of Mourinho antagonizing his players.
Anyway mate you're getting too invested in this considering it was intended to be a joke of a food for a thought from my part.
No worries buddy, I try to keep my head up in here but it's hard not to want to constantly defend the club even though I can see the entire thing is a shambles at the moment.
As you most definitely should!
Though it's worth saying I'm not slandering Spurs here by any means.

Spurs "success" got to their head and when Mourinho was available and interested they blew their feet away.
Pocchetino was doing miracles there already. One of the most ridiculous sackings in history. Knowing how annoying their fans were on here I'm loving it.

Actually the results were awful. It was time to part ways.
Yep have to agree with that. Absolutely idiotic that he didn't allow Tottenham to spend some money when they didn't buy anyone for 2 transfer windows. Plus hiring Mourinho was stupid. I don't feel sorry for them but I do hate Arsenal more and love it when Arsenal are doing badly.
This is why this bitter fool is left behind in the game. You win penalties when you attack and commit players to attack, not by playing low block and your lone striker as DM against Bournemouth.
Yep everyone knows you get 13 penalties by defending a one goal lead in your own third in a 4-5-1 with a big moody lump upfront
He'll win the League Cup next year and declare when he's sacked with Spurs in the toilet 'Spurs do not win trophies, no? it's not normal for Spurs to win trophies, it's normal for Mourinho'.
He won’t even manage that. He’s clearly finished at this level.
Gracias. To quote Mark Corrigan, I've had therapy. I'm going to the solarium. I've spoken to the citizens advice bureau . There's nothing inside killing me
They get what they deserve, and so does Jose. He is a manager that just shouldn’t be hired anymore and his antics are embarrassing nowadays. I hated him being a United manager
Some actually believed Mourinho would prove the doubters wrong with another team. Shocking.
Tbf to us, we saved Spurs once by taking Van Gaal when they agreed everything with him, which led to hiring Poch.
I wonder when football executives will realize that he isn't worth the poor image? You are not going to play attractive football, he stifles creative players, isn't good for young players developments and nowadays he doesn't guarantee you top trophies.
And he still won more trophies with us than Saint Poch ever won in his life.
Hearing Spurs fan shitting on a side that made the CL final a year ago to justify serving up shite against bottom feeders is giving me serious deja-vu...
Salty bastard.
Yes but as long as you don't win EPL, does that really really matter that much? Ok, for a club like Spurs, a cup might matter to some extend but I would much rather had Poch at United than LvG at that point. Spurs' problems lies in more management than Poch. He carried them to a CL final which was something they wouldn't even see in their dreams. Winning cups matters, don't get me wrong. But, if we had Poch at that point, maybe we wouldn't have been that far off from that top now.
And I can't believe some Spurs fans right now. A lot of them are trashing their squad. They can't be that different than they were a year ago. It almost feels like what we said for Shaw, Lindelof, Martial and Rashford under Mourinho. Change the mentality, add quality and suddenly that deadwood becomes valuable. This is on coaching. I see a lot of comments like "Jose's style is outdated" etc. Ok but what is his style? Watch our games under him, watch Spurs this year and I struggle to see a plan. Looks like random 11 people on the pitch. What is the tactical talk that leads up to that game on the field is beyond me.
