Mourinho won three trophies at Utd.The same way his exits from Utd and Chelsea played out. It's already got that Mourinho 3rd year feeling about it.
I'd take that, would you?

One would be forgiven for thinking that many Spurs supporters view the appointment of a manager as seriously as the taking of wedding vows. Everyone is expendable in this game. You don't get results; you're out. How many PL managers these days last more than 2 years in the one place? How is Mourinho any different to anyone else in that respect?Mourinho will be here till the Summer. I hope we get in the top 4, but this is about next season. I don't want him here then. It's very predictable how it will play out.

So... every manager we have had since 1961 is a failure?2 2nd tier trophues. The Carabao cup and the Europa League? You're a failure if you're even in the latter competition. And only Man City give a shit about the Carabao.
Modern football is all about the PL and the CL. Nobody cares about anything else. Those are what a manager is judged by.
Ok, because you're not getting it I'll spell it out for you. Because when Nagglesmann conceded possession (34%) and hit on the counter against the reigning league champions and drew 0-0 that is progressive football. When Mourinho concedes possession (33%) against the reigning league champions and wins 2-0 that's dinosaur tactics. Clear?Progressive football is the most effective strategy - I just can’t explain what it is why that is successful.
It’s hilarious watching some talk about ‘progressive’ and ‘dated’ football. Mourinho is dated, Nagglesmann is progressive. Fine explain to me in detail how and why?

That's shit and you know it. Tell me Burkinshaw was a failure.
(I realise you said PL however, there was football before that)
Excellent points.Having watched the Greaves video on BT, they criticised Nicholson for bigging up Madrid for the European Cup Final in 63.
I also heard an unsubstantiated accusation that Pleat did the same in 87 when we lost to Coventry.
The players must believe they can win a match and that is the managers role and I want Jose to send them out confident they can beat Chelsea and not downhearted they have no strikers.
Leave the depressing comments to posters on here.
You're not serious???I would take being in another CL semi final ahead of winning the FA Cup, no question.
Excellent points.
JJ was going on all game like we are a team that already thinks we are beaten. Are they getting that from the manager?
That is my concern.Excellent points.

Wow!
Your concern about what? A manager that has cut a 12 point deficit into 1? One that found a way to average 2.5 goals a game in the last 5 games minus Kane being on the pitch?
Rinse your knickers out the both of you and start actually supporting the team
You need to read my original post. I am saying that Not only that I support Jose but think he is overplaying the bare bones statements regarding the squad and that I want him to send them out confident not thinking they have no chance as we have no strikers.Your concern about what?

Are you really a Spurs fan?People all over the world watched the Ajax semi, it brought more kudos than an FA Cup could. How many people even watched last season's FA Cup final.
That's how judge managers - how they do in the PL and CL.
I am rinsing my knickers right now.Rinse your knickers out the both of you.
Mourinho didn't cut the points deficit to Chelsea. Frank Lampard did! And he's cut it to about half a dozen teams!
