Manager Jose Mourinho

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If he wins 2 FA cups or the Europa league (most likely where we will end up next year) and a domestic cup in the 3 good years he usually gives you, before it goes tits up. He will be the most successful spurs manager in 30 years.

Get him in get the chequebook out and use his name to sign genuine class to replace the toxic shit that need to leave and we have won anyway. We can't be worse or have a worse style of play then we have for almost a full year

I think you're vastly overrating this idea. After nearly 2 decades of watching him treat his players so poorly, so publicly, that every squad he's had since Porto has mutinied him - I don't think anyone with genuine talent actually wants to play for the clown.

This hire is about relevance, and how to maintain some semblance of it even though the squad has gone to shit and we're about to be losing the public "faces" of the playing squad.
 
Imagine debating if one of the best and most successful coaches in world football should join Tottenham Hotspur. A team that last won a decent trophy 2 years before Harry Kane was born.

** don't wan't to do a disservice to the Audi Cup. Its a fine, fine trophy and I'm sure Poch had a replica made for the trophy cabinet at home.
 
Pros:
Massive ego that will absolutely want to out do Poch
Which means silverware
Won everything
Tactical master
Does what it takes to get over the line in games

Cons:
Massive ego that might fuck the players off
(Been there with Poch)

Can play dull football
(Been there with Poch)

Talks shit
(Been there with Poch)

Lost the dressing at chelsea
(Been there with Poch)

Basically Poch that wins stuff and can do more than press well. I’m in.
 
The dark prince, the anti Poch, but he may be what we need to win that elusive trophy. It would inevitably be a short term appointment just because of how Jose is, but I think we should do it and see how it goes.
 
And of course we all know that his previous style of football and what Spurs fans expect has never been discussed.
Maybe, that has been taken into consideration and as a result of the outcome, he has been made a serious contender.

Let’s have a look at what he has achieved -

There is a great irony in all of this

5 years ago Mourinho would have never looked at us

5 years later following Poch's miracle work we've became an established Tier 1.5 club attracting the likes of Mourinho, etc

Progress?
 
This is now official.

A natural winner.
I’m willing to give him the chance.

Let’s face it, he has some record -
