Good morning.
Jose Mourinho then. Duncan Castles in the National is said to have a decent relationship with The Special One. Dunc believes that we’re in for Jose.
Well let’s look at this and try and weigh up the likely hood of it happening. First up the situation of both he and Arry as they stand.
Arry is obviously knee deep in a tax evasion case, but that ends very shortly. I say ends, if he lands a custodial sentence then his time at Spurs is over. Who will step in? Well ask yourself why David Pleat was recently brought back into the fold.
Should he swerve bird, then the next hurdle is that of the England job of which Arry is known to bee keen upon accepting should it be offered to him. Overshadowing all of this is that Tottenham have a contract with Redschnapps with nearly 18 months left to run on it.
Jose seems to have been bleating about something or other for a hell of a long time. There’s always been an element in his confessions to the press of keeping his name in the hat. Making sure nobody forgets about him. But who would blame him? Football managers can go out of favour in what seems like a heartbeat; in such a volatile market you’d be a fool to ever stop working the brand.
So would you take Jose? The pros are obvious, his pedigree is insanely good. Crucially he knows the Premiership. And unlike characters like Sluralix, he has traveled and achieved wave after wave of success wherever he went opposed to have ever really benefited from the ‘building’ process.
The negatives could therefore be potentially easy to gloss over. He needs money. And not just salary. He doesn’t do cruddy Steven Pienaar deals. He ships in nailed on talent that costs real money to not only augment the existing side but ensure that his strategies are implemented to their full effect. So where would this money come from?
Levy & Co, unlike too many fans won’t wet their pants and start signing off monster cheques just because Jose asks them too. There is a business model at the heart of the ENIC success and that will not be ‘expanded’ until we move into a new stadium.

I think Jose would destroy us. He would radically change our playing style from the beautiful football we are playing now to the 1-0 football Chelsea played a few years ago. He would demand high priced players we couldn’t afford and as soon as something went wrong, he’d go off in a sulk and say we weren’t a big enough club and our lack of success wasn’t his fault.
I remember Ch£l$ki being organised, focused and tactically aware. They were a force through the middle yes, but I don’t recall that they played mechanical or boring football. Not that I’ve seen so much of it, but I don’t get the impression that Real Madrid hoof it up top either. There was certainly more of that at WHL when we had 3MP.
We wouldn’t be Barca mk II under Mourhino, but we’d be sufficiently far away from the scum of the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s. The football would I think be attractive enough and we’d properly compete year on year. If so, then good enough for me.
Quality of football under Jose? Jesus Christ all those years of Werewolf Head Francis weren’t exactly free flowing and beautiful were they. can’t be that bad can it
That’s because we had a chairman at the time who didn’t quite get it, Levy does, and he’s also a realist.
Jose has to do some bending. Can he keep us playing sexy football within out budget? If not, then eff off. Anyway he’s more likely to return to Chelsea. And what’s Sluralix? Harrys’ new nick-name, no doubt, as you put him against a man who probably spent more in his first window at Chelsea than Harry has spent in his entire 64yrs on the planet? If JM amd HR have one thing in common, they both expect 100% effort from their players, which would mean no light for Kranks or Gio – even Vdv may struggle.
Sluralix = Sir Alex Baconface.
Thx
So most fans think taking the proven best manager in the world is a bad thing for spurs.
amazing.
Thats not quite the result of H’s vote is it?
But like a lot commenting here we like style and glory and you have to love glorious nearly’s delivered with style to survive as a spurs fan.
Maurice is a bit OTT for us.
big yes for me, he is everything that the “next level” stands for, im no arry basher and im over the moon with our current situation, however, im also aware that to truly compete with the big boys of european football and attract the world class players (and keep the existing) we need a world class manager, i too think david moyes is a great manager but not world class. i do know that with jose at the helm i wouldnt be shitting myself about monday night. coys
No thanks he s king of the 1-O result go a goal up and you might as well go home that s not the Spurs way in the words of the old song Its not what you do its the way that you do it
