Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
At the end of the day, he was appointed to get a tune out of the players we have, not those we might have in the future - his job was to dig us out of the mess that Poch had left us in.
Apart from a relatively minor new manager bounce, which we could've seen under anyone, we've actually fucking regressed.
The charming, changed man act lasted all of a couple of months - too late now though, there's no chance Levy actually has the stones to admit he made a mistake, and there's no way Jose walks away without a massive lump of cash.
We're fucked for the foreseeable.

And yet nobody at Spurs sings his name or feels any emotional connection to him
Levy will probably hire Sven next.
I feel no emotion to the fat p.e teacher either

Jose likes to give every player massive defensive responsibilities. It's no wonder our attack is lacking potency.
When he has the very best players in the world being ridiculously clinical (especially big game players) - it has won him many trophies as we all know.
We have a set of players that's better than 9th in the table, capable of better football than we have been watching, but we don't have the absolute quality nor mentality required to pull off 0 error counter attacks .
It's all on Mourinho for me - it's him using players to fit a system rather than getting the best from the players available. For this to work, the players need significant time playing these roles, or to be replaced at great cost. I would love for it to work just I honestly don't think it will unfortunately.

So what?
It’s clearly about refs
Well he's fucking right, look at the state of the squad.
Could be refs, could be the FA, could be Levy, could be all fucking three...and he'd still be right.
Haha it’s obviously Michael Oliver u donut
Last week he demolished Oliver after the match in Sheffield..
Del Bosque I reckon
It probably is all three let's be honest.
Also, as shit as Jose is doing currently people are deluding themselves if they think anything is going to change just by hiring another manager, Poch was the greatest manager we had in years and the wheels even fell off for him, the players weren't interested and the reality is the biggest issue at this football club are the OWNERS, they are the ones holding this club back on the pitch, WHERE IT MATTERS.
People need to understand the reality, the owners are the issue, no amount of managerial changes will fix our problems long term, we need owners who want success and trophies as a priority, not fucking NFL football and music concerts as a priority.
I thought he was talking about the refs or the FA regarding the penalty decision on Kane.
You could be right.
I watched another video of him talking about Oliver and it was a different tone.
Maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there-maybe the mask slipped?
The one thing I will say is that he has completely shifted that clubs style and management. He has taken a park the bus outfit and turned them into an offensively minded team.
I believe he has a 3w 1d 8L record against the top 6 this year. Looking at last year's record, I believe they only got one draw. I could be wrong in my quick calculation, but I am on mobile and don't know the best site to research this.
I agree, we need someone in that brings these qualities. I have a different stance on his abilities to succeed here.
But I would also say that many people on here wanted the Jose ethos and his success, but the tables are quickly turning.
