Jose Mourinho

[HampshireSpur]

Pochettino was dismissed by the chairman, Daniel Levy, in a face-to-face meeting at the training ground on Tuesday. He did not have the chance to say goodbye to his players.

If that's true, that's pretty fucking horrible tbh.

don’t like that at all tbh

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

He does say that.

Mourinho would have done his research. That’s a good sign for a manager to come in and let our young and inexperienced squad players know he’s aware of them.

We're not getting Top 4. Chelsea and Leicester will not give up enough points for us to get near. We'd have to win pretty much every game.

I appreciate that people are excited but we've been *fucking awful* for months and he can't turn that around instantaneously.

11 points is not that huge of a gap at all really. Teams could slip and lose at any time and change their fortunes. A bit hyperbolic to say we'd have to win pretty much very game, that means Chelsea and Leicester would both be ending their season with record breaking points tallies. Greater points deficits have been reversed in past seasons.

To be fair, knowing fuck all is still better than the Guardian - who are actively wrong about most things.

It approached Maximum Woke today...

Climbing Peak Guardian, one nonsense step at a time

Never lost more than 20% of the games he's been in charge of:

 

[HampshireSpur]

Come on

let’s get it together

it’s turbulent but the CLUB is the main thing - Poch is great but he’s part of our history now

let’s kick on - DoF please

COYS!!!

Mourinho to sign Dybala, Fernandes, Bale, Aarons, Uncle Tom Cobley

...and Ibrahimovic

 

[FightingIllini]

He's just spent the first 2 mins in his first interview bigging up the squad and the academy, which many seemed to have lapped up, then when a story breaks there is no funds for him to spend there is surprise and confusion.

Seems reasonable to ask whether giving Poch the 20M needed to get rid of him plus the additional 20M-ish that Mourinho is earning above what Poch was making would be a better use of the funds.

Let alone whether that could have been made available two summers ago.

Is the plan REALLY that Mourinho plus tepid investment equals genuine Top 4 contention? That the problem was just Poch? And that Mourinho happily scrapping for 4th with an under-strength side is a sustainable equilibrium?

Fantasy, IMO.

Somewhere, John Thomas felt a disturbance in the force.

As if a million fans all cheered aloud, then were silenced.

I think anyone outside the drama queens will back Jose, it's just some, like myself question the appointment. Did we do our homework and find he was the best candidate? Has this been going on for some time in the background and possibly unsettling Poch and the squad.

And what made Jose the number one candidate? What he did years ago? What made him a better option than the likes of Ten Haag or Nagelman, especially Ten Haag.

We support Spurs, not the players, not the manager, not the chairman, we support Spurs.

But we need to know the best options are being taken for the right reasons.

ten Haag is over rated in my opinion. Even poch out witted him tactically last season. He had absolutely no answers to our second half performance in the second leg. He inherited a once in a generation young squad but they looked out of ideas when it really mattered last year

Our current WIN rate this season under Poch was 29 percent.

Really drives home how dodgy things are hopefully Jose can put it right.

It's a mystery as to why they make a loss, eh?

Still somehow not as bad as their "the first woman to be raped in space has already been born" insanity.

 

[Oracle]

I watch this ten times and more and more.... And i´m never tired

Ok count me in

He is certainly a great coach. You may like it or not, but it is a great blow. It is the type of coach that makes you understand that the company wants to do something concrete to improve.

He knows the PL very well: for example Allegri would have been at the first experience in PL with the championship started. A bet

I think that Allegri will go to Manchester United with Mario. Mandzukic (as a locker room insider)

 

[Legacy Lilywhite]

Tomorrow's press conference is gonna be something to behold.

Especially if they ask about Spam trying to wind him up on social media.

 

[Cranston]

A bit hyperbolic to say we'd have to win pretty much very game

We were a shambles at the end of last season and we got top 4 with 71 points. We have 14 points at the moment, so would need 56 points from the remaining 26, averaging more than 2 points a game.

So, we'd need to be performing to about the standard that City are at the moment, for the rest of the season.

Just don't see any way that is realistic.

He wasn’t escorted out by police.....just go and say bye

 

[Sportments]

To mark the appointment of Jose Mourinho, here is a compilation of his greatest moments. I hope this gets you all in the mood for what will hopefully be an exciting, ENTERTAINING and most importantly a successful term!

 

[sammyspurs]

He hasn't shelled out the best part of £25m in one swoop to finish 5th

The pressure is on Mourinho to deliver straight away

He has to sort out Pochs mess first
