Jose Mourinho

[Stanley]

 

[For better or worse]

Jose certainly said all the right things, now we need him to walk the walk otherwise what's the point. Loved that he acknowledged Poch and his contribution. Let's hope that he means what he says that it's not all about him, and we may have got ourselves someone who is going to take us forward and not another false dawn.

Expect one of the lessons he has learnt is it's not all about him. Been a long time coming. Maybe he has got some humility. Can a Leopard change its spots?

The club, press office and Jose have been very clear to be respectful of Poch and what he has achieved. They know it's the most emotionally attached the fans have been for a very long time. They also know there are concerns about the club being the priority, promoting youth and not playing boring football so they are addressing these concerns in the outset. Very calculated.

Interesting stuff

ah, I see. Well when making the appointment can you pass on the message about clean shoes? Cheers.

I’m sure there is someone on the end of an 0800 or 03442 number that would be happy to oblige your request

Don't you dare use the word 'roster'.

At least "defence" can be read with the correct pronunciation in this instance

There's only one way to say it isn't there? Deeee-fense.

Full conference...

Can’t wait for all the barbed digs at Pep and Klopp. I’m like a schoolgirl at a One Directon gig (one direction is still a thing right)

I'm afraid one direction went different directions

Well thats 42mins of a man who clearly knows what he wants to say and more importantly what he should say. Fair play, it's only talk but it's a good start. You can tell that he is very aware of our background and what we want as fans as well as what Levy wants as the main man. Let's see how things go on Saturday to see if it translates into improved on-field performances.

You can tell Mourinho has read a management book where it says you need to be tactile with your charges. Pat them on the head, ruffle their hair, gently massage their bollocks.

Looks a bit odd in these days of #metoo.

Creepy.

I like it.

Just watched some of his press conference. Now that he is our manager, everything he says sounds likeable. Strange.

Kane's body language is, "Oh Christ, here he comes."

If he strokes winks like that, there will be a BBC panaroma special on mourinho inappropriately touching schoolboys.

 

[Smogz]

Mourinho on how Tottenham will play under their new manager: "Very similar to [Pochettino]. Of course I will try to add details, and sometimes details can make the difference. Progressively we can arrive at a fingerprint. The style of play must be adapted to the club culture and also the players here."

The fucking diamond.

 

[scott]

Don't underestimate how big of an advantage it is for Dier to be able to speak Portuguese to the head coach and assistant too

Crucial that dier can say "it bobbled" in Portuguese after another misplaced pass.

 

[ArmadilloSackRace]

The whole press conference:

 

[Marst0n]

How many times was he asked about the style of play?! Even when they could just ask one question someone asked about it even when he answered it right before. Journalism is so lazy at times it's incredible.

 

[Mariner]

It’s all very chummy and where are the Argies?

His first press conference was very good.
