If he hadn’t won anything elsewhere he wouldn’t be here so not irrelevant
Let’s never sign any players as what they’ve done at other clubs means nothing.
It’s not irrelevant to Levy giving him the job, but irrelevant to me in terms of goodwill. George Graham got zero goodwill even after winning a trophy
If he gets top 4 and wins a trophy he can have all the goodwill then
Different argument completely
You sometimes sign players on what they might achieve with a bit of good coaching
Strangely enough I have met him a couple of times and he seems a decent enough bloke. However his teams were as boring as any team I have ever seen, glad we bombed him out irrespective of the trophy

Do you sign players because of the trophies they have won or the attributes that make them the player they are?

Closing in on a 4:1 posting ratio. Highest by far on the site. Read it and weep other TFC big-hitters
Both good reasons. Just like the decision making process for taking in our manager.
Wasn’t his nickname stroller’ when he played and big mates with Venables?
Yes to both
Strange how his teams were all get stuck in , get in their faces. Because as a player he wasn’t a clogger . I will never forgive him for driving Ginola out, we were so boring , he was the only thing worth watching in
Graham’s team
But in person he was quite funny
what i was hinting at is that Mourinho failing or succeeding here will be down to his abilities as a manager, not what he has achieved in the past elsewhere.
And whilst his trophies won can never be taken away from him, over time his abilities will likely wane (hence why falling back on his trophy record isn't a response to criticism of him, nor an indicator of what he can do here)
No, Poch who is the superior manager won nothing before joining Spurs and took the club to completely another level despite getting routinely undermined by pathetic chairman with Napoleon syndrome, while Dinosaur who won trophies by outspending his opponents has been taking the club backward in the last 15 months.
Yes David was the only thing worth watching during those times but I still went
They made David Howells captain!
Jose has done well managing Bale. Starting to get annoyed with lo celso though. 2 big injuries hes had now. Smacks of lamela. Cant stand the heat.
Lets see what happens at end of season.
So you think Poch who has won nothing before he joined PSG is in some way superior to Jose who has won the lot with various clubs???
Wow
But I respect your opinion and completely disagree with it
Jose is the dream signing by Levy and we should be grateful
Give him a real run at it and he will deliver!
