Feel like you're going out of your way to be extra harsh on him now

What's done is done, now we get to see jose win an fa cup and then destroy the soul of the club before he leaves
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As much as there's no reason to talk chit about Poch there's no denying the run of form that's got him sacked.

Also, just because we seem set to hire Mourinho doesn't mean that sacking him was the wrong decision.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No signing for 2 years

No RB
No LB
No decent centre back partnership
No holding midfielder

We'll be better in the short term with Jose but moving forward giving poch proper backing would have been the smart thing to do, he's literally one of the best 5 managers in the world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------



I think short term is what we need mate. We need to get the monkey off our backs and start winning trophies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But there's nothing to suggest jose gets things going for a club

He comes in, wins a trophy and then destroys the club

It's not like we'll be ready to go on a trophy winning tear after he leaves because he helped us get the monkey off our back

I love how people assume just because we got Mourinho we are definitely winning trophies.

He’s won trophies at every single club he’s been at and is probably a big reason why Levy has gone for a different approach. We tried the young manager project approach and whilst it was successful in a way, it didn’t provide any silverware. He’s now going for a big name proven winner like Mourinho. Guarantee Mourinho would of 100% won a trophy at Spurs if he had the same team as Poch over the 5 years, 100%.

Why not ? Puts us on the map properly and shows this club can win silverware will attract better players and give us more credibility. Losing finals every f^** season gives us nothing mate. Can’t believe Spurs fans are so afraid of success.

He wouldn't have lasted 5 years

He also wouldn't have built the same team as poch because he hates youth

Would still have kaboul starting if jose had come in ffs

Spent half a billion to win at Chelsea and united had ronaldo at Madrid.

Only real bit of decent coaching was at Porto and inter while inter was awful to watch.

I’m pretty certain he’ll be gone without a trophy like all the rest do.

He wins trophies mate end of story. He’s won 25 major trophies in his career to Pochettino’s 0. I love Poch, but there is no comparison right now mate in terms of success for both managers. Mourinho is a serial winner Is what the club needs right now.

Champions league finals do - the players who came this summer said as much.

We will absolutely be in a worse position when Jose leaves and you'd be naive to think otherwise - he's a quick fix who papers over the cracks. If we need a rebuild now imagine what we will need when the squad is 3 years older

Yep and won the CL at both Inter and Porto. For as poor as his united stint was, you remember the league cup semi final when a bang average United team knocked us out? I was at Wembley that day and that particular day proved to me how much of a master tactician is to Pochettino. When it truly matters, Mourinho gets the results.

How can I possibly say definitely we certainly are more likely to win a trophy under Mourinho than we are under Pochettino. You can’t really argue with facts here mate.

He won one nearly 2 decades ago and one a decade ago with the best team in europe. He would not have even made it to the final last season with that spurs team.

Also won a European trophy with a bang average United side. Sorry mate, you are not going to convince me that Mourinho is a poor manager when facts stare at you in the face. He wins trophies wherever he goes. Pochettino who I love, has won nothing in his career. Right now there is no comparison mate.

I've never said he's a poor manager.

But he's a terrible fit for our club, a worse manager than the one we just sacked and will just put the rebuild we need on hold for 3 seasons. The fact he wins trophies doesn't change any of that.

posted on 20/11/19

All good you saying you would rather finish midtable than hire Jose Grandspur. Then who do you want ? Please don’t say Howe
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Without giving it mega thought I definitely dont want Mourinho. You keep on about trophies but an FA Cup win will not please me when I think he will cause more problems than success. With his ways the likes of Kane will be off given a chance.

Why not get somebody like Chris Houghton in until the end of the season, he has done relatively well everywhere he has been and he has a reasonable squad to work with at the moment better than most other prem clubs.

Then at the end of the season scout out a young manager with the same appetite as the likes of Klopp and give him at least 3 years to get things right. Poch was just that when we got him 5 years ago and he done reasonably well until recently.

Mourinho is not interested in Spurs other than as a stepping stone and his football is atrocious. Do you honestly think the likes of Kane will stay when we defend for 89 minutes and have one attack a game?

I predict that if Jose comes we will lose Kane in the summer and I know full well who I would rather have at the club if it was a choice between those two.

Don you get blinded by the hope of a quick fix and you NEVER look long term. If we get Jose and win on Saturday you will be telling us all how right you were but quick fixes are more trouble than they are worth.

Look at the last 5 years, barring the last 10 months we have been considered a "Top Club" dont you think the fact that we stayed with the same manager was a big part of that?

Jose will not be here for 5 years it will be his normal 2 years and mass disruption all the way with possibly a league cup to show for it. I warned utd fans of this and look what happened.

We need stability and we need somebody who honestly believes that the club is more important than they are, that person is not Jose for sure because the only important thing in Jose's world is Jose.

Also, we're now at a point where Liverpool and City are performing at a record high standard. It's going to be that much harder to win a trophy than it was.

posted on 20/11/19

Not being funny grandspur but you’re not always right mate. I get blinded by quick fixes ? Not really. I have been patient with Spurs and I have seen us win 1 league cup in 20 years. You as an old boy has seen the club successful, where as I haven’t. I see the big picture and I see short term success is currently where Spurs need to be and we need to start bagging some silverware, to not only keep the players happy, but show that the club are a successful club. Getting to semi final and finals, but losing them every single season is not success. Houghton? Don’t make me laugh mate. Why would we sack Pochettino and get in a unproven manager ?

posted on 20/11/19

Oh and to answer your question granspur earlier about what other things I got right. I predicted this mess with Pochettino/ Levy etc years ago and I got Spurtle on here to back me up on that to. So yeh, I get a fair few things right mate just saying.

Just fed up of being failures. Would love the club to win something.

At what cost though?

Cons drastically outweigh the pros (realistically just the one pro) as far as I'm concerned with jose

Why would we sack Pochettino and get in a unproven manager
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why did utd get rid of Jose Don?

Why did chel ski sack him twice?

Why did Inter get rid of him?

Why did Real get rid of him?

How is Houghton unproven? He has managed in the prem for at least 10 years and done well with smaller squads with a lot less talent than we have at Spurs?

FFS he kept Brighton up last year and they were dreadful he can hardly be called unproven and he has never had the type of money that Jose has needed to get his success.

Just look at utd they are worse than us now thanks to Jose and their debt is spiraling all the time thanks to signing the likes of Pogba.

Nobody is always right Don but I am right a hell of a lot more times than you are.

Short term is never going to work and I doubt Jose will win anything at Spurs anyway.

Yes the players will all give it "we are looking forwards to playing for a well known manager" but what they will be thinking is "holy crap now we have to put up with this idiot".

We saw exactly the same under the likes of Ramos who ruled with a rod of iron and had two training sessions a day etc. Those days have gone mate, the modern day players are spoiled brats on a good day you saw that at Leicester a matter of months after winning the prem they got their manager the sack LVG at utd exactly the same, John Terry etc with AVB and Jose now I think about it.

Yes we will get higher up the table for sure but if you think players will stay or be clamouring to join us with Jose as manager you really are dreaming.
