Manager Jose Mourinho

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Levy has so much invested in the guy I feel it will have to get a whole lot worse for him to be sacked. He deserves it though as do a chunk of the players who have been here far too long, under-performing.

Because Mourinho’s great teams had African players spearheading them.

African uncles and English Yer Da’s have the same outlook on football and it’s terrifying.

To me, there's are a lot of foreigners that have a different support model to us here. We support Spurs first and by a long way. Once a player or coach goes we may or may not have a passing interest.
A lot of Africans and Asians seem to follow individuals wherever they go and have very little interest in the team.
I suspect this is why the THFC page is utterly infested with rival fans who know nothing of our history when making comments like "Never won anything"

I definitely think Mourinho should at the very least not be leading us into next season, but I don't think getting rid of him is the magic bullet that alone solves our problems.

We need a major overhaul of playing staff - too many are not good enough, either in terms of their attitudes or ability, sometimes both.

Or recruitment structure and scouting need a major overhaul. Too many times we are buying the wrong players - not necessarily bad players, but players that don't fit us. The new manager, whoever it is, needs to be helped with a director of football. Keep Levy far away from the football side of things and delegate total control to this individual and the manager and the networks they are responsible for. That will likely change the type of candidate we appoint but that will benefit us in the long run.

I think this will take two seasons to sort at least to be honest, it's a mess. Not expecting great things for 2021-22. The more I've seen the more I think we need a total rebuild and overhaul of how we do things, and I am warming to project-building managers: a Poch mk 2, if you will.

TBH, the only thing we have that's class these days is the stadium and training ground.
Management, recruiment, finances, 2/3 of the playing squad, all of it is mid table.

Not sure you can compare starting 11 at Brighton to 11 players in our squad for this season and be surprised??
Ndombele didn’t even play last night!!

Reality is that game against Brighton was just 18 months ago. You can’t just swap a whole 25 man squad in 18 months!!! FFS

You can make changes to it - which he has done. Notably the team that played Brighton - Jan gone, Eriksen gone, Sissoko played RB, Dier played CM Toby wanted to leave.
Dier no longer plays CM. Sissoko .... well he’s not a RB.
He contracted Toby very quickly and Eric in the summer so Jose clearly wanted them to stay.

Jose is failing. He’s getting paid to do more. He will get the sack.

That’s football.

Ndombele played for nearly 1 hour last night you fucking idiot.

Jack Clarke wasn’t even Poch’s signing, he was Levy’s signing.

Over the years, I really wonder how many players were really Poch’s signings and how many weren’t.

We won’t know. The last signings Ndombele, Lo Celso and Sess where by all reports Poch signings and I would imagine Toby and Waynama would have been. The likes of Nije, Soldado etc seem to me either to be Levy signings or 4-5th Poch options.
