I don't think anybody is particularly excited by Mourinho, he has become too sour in recent years although he is still capable of delivering trophies. They just want a manager who is tough, who will react when his team is in horrible form and not just keep doing the same things. A manager who can be ruthless and pragmatic.
The thing with "winning" managers is that they hate to lose, nothing in life is worse than losing football games to them. Wenger, Mancini, Conte, Klopp, Mou, Ferguson, Pep, Simeone, Van Gaal, the reason they have had so many rants and meltdowns over the years is because they fucking hate losing. If you looked at Poch's interviews and body language this season you'd think we were ticking over nicely in 3rd place, it's as if nothing is wrong. Eriksen and Rose are still playing, he's saying he won't make signings and that we we only "need time", it's like bizzarro world. We don't need time, we need wins. If we had one of those other managers in charge they would be foaming at the mouth.
Don't get me wrong, there are winning managers with a more Poch-like mentality and serene demeanour, like Allegri, Emery and Ancelotti, but they are much rarer. They also have trophies under their belt so nobody can question their attitude. Poch doesn't have anything under his belt and if I'm honest, takes losing matches too well. I want a manager who is a bad loser.
Poch still has this attitude of "lads, it's Tottenham" which is reflected in everything he does. "You can't compare us to Liverpool, you don't understand our project, we need time". No. We have been above Liverpool for almost every one of the last 10 seasons and just played a CL final against them. You absolutely can compare us to them and we don't need more time. The problem now is him, the other stuff stopped being true 5 years ago. Compare Liverpool's starting XI last night to the team we put out against Colchester, do not tell me we cannot compete with Liverpool, that is utter hog shit. We just have a manager who is not quite tough enough and not quite brave enough to win decisive matches.
Or even one?
Embarrassing thread
Mauricio doesn’t need Jose to do that.
How do you win 9 leagues in 7 seasons?
Bring in Mourinho and say goodbye to Oliver Skipp, Troy Parrott, Japhet Tanganga, Jack Roles etc.
In fact, say goodbye to our Academy full stop.
Allegri is the better option.

Mourinho is finished as a top level manager. His philosophy and ideas have been blown away by the play styles of the likes of Pep, Klopp, POCH etc. Anyone who thinks if we hired Mourinho that we would get within an asses roar of either Liverpool or City needs to give their head a wobble.
This isn't even taking into consideration the fact that the guy's an arrogant, manipulative knob jockey who would leave our club in absolute shit when he leaves after his third season just as he has in his previous 3 jobs.
Christ almighty, anyone voting yes to this....

We used to sing "Fuck off Mourinho", now some of our fans are almost begging for him to take over.
Words, Fail. Me.
NO to Jose, a definite and absolute NO.

Yes! YES! YES! The man is a proven winner. It's what the players need. A manager they can look up to and respect for his acheivements. They are sick of Poch and his non existent project, moods, mopiness. They know, the same that we all know that Poch has never won anything and he never will. They know that everytime we have been in touching distance of a trophy Poch has blown it.
If we get Jose in now we may still salvage Top 4 and would probably win the FA Cup too.
The man is a master.

I find it surprising that people actually think he's an sensible option.
People are complaining about the boring football we're playing, but that's what Jose specialises in.
He's toxic so has a habit of leaving clubs in a worse state than when he arrived and that takes years to recover from. Fans are melting now so I dread to think what they'd be like if we got even worse. I don't think our long term future is worth a few trophies over the two or three years he'd be here.
Finally he's at his best when he can throw money at a problem, but Levy isn't going to do that. I'm not sure how he'd do with what we have now and little support on transfers.
