If Jose is still in charge at Xmas I give £50 to his charity.
If we get to a CL final he gives £100 to mine.

He is grumpy tonight. Can’t think why.
I bet it’s over a thousand.

Again, more conventional wisdom that gets trotted out on these pages and routinely in football discussions. It is not 'too soon for [you] to pass judgement'. You can pass preliminary, incremental, process, etc evaluation on Jose, Spurs, your morning breakfast, or your post-breakfast turd. You can do evaluate thing according to any number of criteria; the expectations, the formations, tactics, sideline antics, interviews, etc.Let's see if Jose inevitably surprises us but it's too soon for me to pass judgement on how it's goin with him.
But his remit was to secure champions league football and the windfall that comes with it.
If it wasn't, why wasn't he sacked after such an abject tactical failure.
He took a Daniel Levy (ENIC) team to a Champions League final.
SpiderSpurs £100 to your nominated charity says Jose Mourinho won't equal or better that achievment?
Would you like me to forward your response to Miguel? I'm just the messenger. Shooting me would just be cruelYet he continues to win trophies?
But I'm not nor have I accused you of wanting him or not wanting him or supporting him or not supporting him.I don't see why tbh. Again, In my defense... I made clear from my first post the part that I was contesting.
Makes me laugh.... I was as vocally opposed to Jose as ANYONE on this forum when his name was first flung around and he was polled as a successor. I'm just prepared to give it some time now he's here and am pleased to see he's at least got us into a position where it's possible to salvage something out of this season in the meantime.
If by means of ugly football we end up back in the CL next year I'll take that in the short term. Cup success would of course be a welcome bonus... (Regardless of how shit-house cunts like John Thomas or Don Giovanni want to paint me.)
More fucking irony; those two shit-talking haters and their ilk have been bleating on since October that the "season is over", yet here we are still credibly scrapping for our targets and proving my faith in the club to be well founded.
UP THE FUCKING SPURS!

The only things it is possibly too early to make is 'final judgement'. And believe it or not it may not be too early for that. You know why? If it's is perhaps going exactly as you expected it to go based on passed evidence, and no new or surprising results/data are being gathered, then it is reasonable to conclude that what you previous expected holds...ie it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.
To be clear I'm not saying I or anyone else should have made 'final judgement'. I'm just saying it is never to early to draw reasonable conclusion from you observations...got to be clear here otherwise some mook will pop in with a "so you're sayin..." type response. For the record no, I'm not sayin...
But I'm not nor have I accused you of wanting him or not wanting him or supporting him or not supporting him.
I don't want to be dragged into any other beef you are having with other posters
If during this time we are playing shit, then that will be discussed, same too if during that time we play well or look like we are improving.
but the irony is though that it is our manger that can't wait for the season to be over.
How can he be poorly judged for what is ultimately a results business?
It is a results business, but when I was 7 it wasn’t - or it didn’t seem to be to my young mind. I can’t speak for others, but I still find difficulty reconciling results vs enjoyment. Supporting, and going to watch Spurs, was my escape from a humdrum world of school, never ending Sundays, and greyness. Spurs was a splash of vibrant colour in my youth, and I must accept that has gone. Nonetheless, apart from my family, I’ve never loved anything for so long,
And it’s an unrequited love. It’s madness.She'll always be my first love, my life's love, maybe even my only love
Did you even read what i wrote? I think we are having a fundamental failure to communicate. Do you feel that 'judging' necessarily means to look at unfavorably? It doesn't. It just means to look at objectively and critically. That can happen at any point. You are defending his work thus far by posting those results. Presumably you are judging him favorably thus far. No problem. But is sure as shit isn't too early to pass an interim judgement.Simply put it's too early to judge him because he has probably got us higher in the table than anyone would have imagined.
See, this is a strawman. No one said anything about being judged 'poorly' just that it is possible for him to be judged at this point.How can he be poorly judged for what is ultimately a results business?

And you can be judged poorly for good results but bad football. Though typically prioritized, most teams, people, and/or businesses have multiple objectives at once. That shouldn't come as a surprise to you...or are you that single-minded?

Always said that if I loved my exes as much as I love Spurs, they wouldn't be exes. And I wouldn't put up with the grief either!And it’s an unrequited love. It’s madness.
