I suspect Nagelsmann was more of a Levy type of appointment but given he's only just joined Leipzig there was no way we were going to get him out of there.
Still trying to comprehend mourinho at Spurs lmao. Wow. Crazy. Just doesn't seem right. However I think maybe this is not only redemption for us but for mourinho as well. Can't help but feel proud that mourinho is talking about "my club"
Let's get behind him, have patience and see what happens. Maybe Tottenham can be his true home.

Fuck me, if we're bothering them this much in 14th place, imagine what they'll be like when we rise back up the table under José.My chelsea mate was clearly bothered when the news broke. He was the one who informed me in fact but he tried to keep his feelings hidden, talk calmly about it all.
Then I sent him the interview with Spurs tv and he absolutely lost his shit. Said Jose had been a legend but because of the “my club” comment was no longer. He is absolutely triggered by it.
I would be surprised if we were not at least in the top 6 at the end of 2019.Fuck me, if we're bothering them this much in 14th place, imagine what they'll be like when we rise back up the table under José.
Mourinho will be different at Spurs, says Fletcher
Former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher believes Jose Mourinho will be "different" at Tottenham in comparison to his tenure at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese was sacked by United in December 2018 amid several public fallouts with the likes of Paul Pogba and having left the club 11 points off the top four.
His acrimonious departure saw him draw criticism for his man-management style, but after taking over at Tottenham, Fletcher thinks the 56-year-old may handle things differently at the north London club.
"I think we'll see a slightly different Jose,” he told BBC Radio 5Live.
"I think the Jose that had been affected by Real Madrid and his almost resentment of players, which was different to when he was at Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan, he was a players' manager: 'Us against the world'. We've not seen that for a while.
"I know for a fact that when he left United he did a little bit of reflecting and asked a few people to tell him what he was like, to give him the truth, to give it to him straight, and that, for me, is a sign of somebody who realised he went a little bit too far.
"I'm sure he had his own frustrations with Manchester United, just as many as the players and people had towards him.
"You could see towards the end from both points of view, but the fact that he was asking people for an honest opinion of what he was like says to me that it's someone who is reflecting.
"A little bit of a rest and a bit of reflection, I think we'll see a different Jose Mourinho. I don't know whether it will be the Jose of old but I don't expect it to be the Jose we have seen for the last couple of years."

I completely agree. The gap to 5th/6th as it stands is only 3 points. Can we turn it around and bridge that gap to Sheffield Utd and/or Woolwich by New Year's? I'd say so.
The really tricky thing is top 4. If we have any hopes of salvaging that (other than just winning the CL to qualify) we'll be needing a slip up from Chelsea or Leicester in addition to turning our own form around.
Let's hope the chavs will lose at the Etihad on Saturday, with a bit of luck we are 'only' 9 points behind them after this weekend and next month we play them at home, a must-win match if we want to put on the pressure.

We've still got to play Chelsea twice, so winning both games will see a big points swing.

Haha mate wtf! Everyone?Internet also said Lamela was injured for a long time because we were hiding that he had a sex change operation. Everyone sort of believed it, and so did I at one point
Agreed. This needs to be a target. If we're not up there by then, it won't be good.
Ajax’s performance in the CL is what convinced me that ten Hag is an upcoming and innovative manager. de Lict and de Jong both gone, but they’re doing very well in the CL.
