Mour probably wasn't the correct appointment........might be cynical but if there had been a better option he wouldn’t be with us? Plus I don’t think he’d have left a job for us he was out of work and if reports were to be believed he wanted to stay in London it was either us or the goons.......and we won
See, in my mind, one of the biggest things about Mourinhos appointment is that it somewhat indicates that Daniel Levy talks out of his arse when commenting on managerial appointments and how they’re selected. For as long as I’ve remembered now he’s always towed the line of how any managerial appointment needs to “play in a way that entertains supporters, plays in a way that goes with the traditional Tottenham way” etc etc etc, indicating that all in all, there was at least a footballing philosophy and thought behind managerial appointments. Then, when we finally make an appointment in Pochettino that goes along with this philosophy and we achieve relative success with it, the club then throw this completely out the window, and appoint an all but past it manager, known for playing reactive constipated football.Mour probably wasn't the correct appointment........might be cynical but if there had been a better option he wouldn’t be with us?

I don't remember what Jose won at Benfica or Leiera. Can you refresh my memory.I do have faith in Mou. Truth be told before he was our manager, I always thought he was an arrogant c***, but also a very successful football manager. He won at least a piece of silverware in every club he managed, I do sincerely think we won't be the exception.
“Playing the Tottenham way” erm....... hasn’t been all that successful,really.........See, in my mind, one of the biggest things about Mourinhos appointment is that it somewhat indicates that Daniel Levy talks out of his arse when commenting on managerial appointments and how they’re selected.

The appointment just made no sense whatsoever. In fact, it was so off the wall, part of me even thinks it was an appointment made with the possible intention of selling the club, as having a ‘big name’ like Mourinho in charge may boost the profile of the club.

Tom, please define 'relative success'...
How many champions league finals have you seen spurs in?
Previous to poch when was the last time we finished above our most hated rivals?
How often have we challenged for titles?
And what precisely did we win?
How many finals / semis has Poch won?How many champions league finals have you seen spurs in?
Previous to poch when was the last time we finished above our most hated rivals?
How often have we challenged for titles?
So you dont think the year leicester won it we challenged, even the year after we were the closest .How many finals / semis has Poch won?
Which year did we challenge for the title? Like... truly challenge?
We finished 11 points behind Leicester.So you dont think the year leicester won it we challenged, even the year after we were the closest .
And again you asked about relative success.
So please answer the questions or define how you see relative success.
We collapsed at the end of the season after chelsea.We did challenge for the title.We finished 11 points behind Leicester.
So we came second (by 7 points to Chavs) and that's 'often challenging' for titles?
There is no such thing as 'relative success'.We collapsed at the end of the season after chelsea.We did challenge for the title.
And again how do you define relative success?
Mm.....give up who?What could be a better option than us?
:mourbringit:
Well then I refer tou back to my original three questions for the past 20 or 30 years we have been largely shit. The odd league cup win is not success I'm sure you would agree.There is no such thing as 'relative success'.
