Yes. What can possibly go wrong?????

Lets hope we have a post match Angry Moanrinho saying ...

I have just 3 things to say.
"Minute 28. Minute 57. Minute 72 end of interview" and Hose Moanrinho stomping off :D when we come away with all 3 points :D :D :D

Well one can dream can't one :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mourinho prob has the worst style of play of any of the top managers in Europe these days, Pochettino obv fell out with Levy big time for this to happen.

If I was a spurs fan I’d be absolutely gutted given he hasn’t bought a player in what? Two seasons?

Massive gamble and could turn out to be a big mistake, we shall see.

They've wanted him for years.

The guy has made some bad career moves in the last couple of jobs however he now has a point to prove, with a set of players who will respond to him, at a club where he can instill that seige mentality that he thrives off. If he manages to win the league at Tottenham it will be his biggest achievement yet imo. They are in a similar position to what Chelsea were in 2004 whereby they were a biggish club but just didn't win trophies. I expect him to do very well.
Similar position to Chelsea? Do you honestly believe he will get money out of Levy as he did from Abramovich?

I read recently that he does well initially at clubs with inherited squads but fails ultimately because of poor recruitment. Are Spurs going to change completely to fit in with the way he does things?

Let's look at it this way, Liverpool were threatening to run away with it this year and Joe Guardiola is going through a rough patch at City.

Now we have Mourniho back in the mix with an excellent team, a killer goalscorer, a killer instinct and tonnes of experience.

I think this season just got a whole lot more interesting.

Yes a similar position to where Chelsea was as a club in terms of club stature and trophies won. They were always a top half or top 7 side but never won anything. Under mourinho Chelsea won their first title in 50 years. The same as spurs if he won it with them. As for money, in today's game the money involved at that level isn't too different from the other top 6 sides (barring city). He will do well.

He may well do well but it will be a complete change of their club policy if they suddenly have available the sort of money Mourinho is used to spending.

Most managers have worked him out now and that includes our Sean. There’s no Arsene Wenger for him to get the better of now and his replacement will be leaving soon. He is better than Solskjaer in terms of the traditional top 6’s current managers but he’s miles behind Pep and Klopp these days...

The money is very different at that level and especially at spurs. Expecting to hear dyche like press conferences from Feb onwards.

Yesterday's man and a relationship that can only end in tears.

As for Pochettino nobody can seem to nail down exactly why events have changed so dramatically in the last 12 months, but Harry Redknapp came out with something quite insightful on The Debate tonight. He 'knows' that the Man United job was effectively his but something apparently went wrong at the critical time. If there's any truth in that it's little wonder that his relationship changed both with Levy and the players.

I think the whole world knew that Pochettino was Manchester United’s target to replace Mourinho but then the caretaker went and won too many games.

No doubt that Spurs form hasn’t been good since then but whether that was the reason only those closely involved will know.

No could be a cheaper appointment, pure speculation no idea on the money either managers demand or if poch received any severance package, I don’t believe the newspapers unless either of them personally disclosed to me I wouldn’t be sure.

On previous track record I’d say Jose, even though he’s been out of work for abit, I’d say money must have been some sort of factor even though levy being loaded, it’s the first thing you look at & not just salaries the potential success which will naturally increase the coffers ha.

A journalist has posted Jose is being paid £15m a year.

88 grand a week more than any player there.

No wonder he's smiling for once, the miserable bugger.

Every manager “whinges”. It’s what going to happen if you stick a mic under his chin 5 mins after a defeat and ask the most stupid of questions.

What we see from the snippets of interviews from managers/players doesn’t reflect how they actually are.

I find him brilliantly funny. He’s the biggest wind up merchant in football.

I get that Levy/Lewis are hardly Abramovich, but Spurs did spend £55m on one player in the summer, so they're hardly going to be shutting the bank account off completely.

It'll be interesting to see how a player like Eriksen reacts to Mourinho's methods. especially considered he's practically downed tools so far this season.

Cool - I disagree. And it's his press conferences as well. They don't happen within 5 minutes of the final whistle.

Like I say, I liked him when he was first at Chelsea and came across as pretty entertaining at times. But especially since he took over at Man U, he was just a right miserable sod.

He doesn’t have to spend like he did at Chelsea. He’s taken over a Spurs not Wolves.

Notice that at each PL manager press conference today a Sky reporter asked about the return of the "Special One" so that the replies and comments could be put on a loop to keep the never ending non story going.
