Yep,I can’t stand the guy but he really is a serial winner. I’m willing to give up my dislike for a guy if it meant my club Spurs we’re finally winning trophies us supporters deserve. We have been starved of success at this club for years and let’s be honest, under Poch we are not winning anything anytime soon. His record in the cup competitions are a joke. Mourinho would come in stop the rot and finally lead this club to success.
This is where im at tbh.
Just find it weird why for some fans, their stringent personality tests seem paramount to everything else.

Can you remember a time when he wasn't miserable and defensive just out of interest?

1st stint at Chelsea and when he was at Inter Milan. Basically wherever he was happy. At Utd he was living out of a hotel and clearly didn't enjoy his time there. Same at Real Madrid. Don't get me wrong, he's arrogant and annoying but he's a winner and I just can't see him wanting any other job in England right now than us. He's often spoken fondly of Spurs, he's not going to go back to Chelsea or Utd, City & Liverpool isn't gonna happen so that leaves us and Arsenal, maybe Everton.

Just to put Jose Mourinho into context:

In 137 years, Tottenham Hotspur have won 26 major trophies.

In the last 17 years Jose Mourinho has won 25 major trophies, and apparently averages a trophy about once every 34 matches.

If Jose Mourinho joins any other club apart from Tottenham next, then he will have won more trophies in 18 years than Tottenham Hotspur have managed to win since the club was created.

Not getting Jose Mourinho in when he is available is the definition of stupid.

That makes for astonishing reading.

That includes Community Shields

Tottenham Hotspur have 17 major trophies

League x 2
FA Cup x 8
League Cup x 4
European Cup Winners' Cup x 1
Europa League x 2

Jose Mourinho has won 20 major trophies

League x 8
National Cup x 4
League Cup (England only) x 4
Champions League x 2
Europa League x 2

And that is with 5 different clubs in 4 different countries.

Yes, guess they are dealing a lot on the phone or with strawmen then? Otherwise it is hard to keep sit downs and meetings secret for the world in 2019.
A lot of itk info comes from agents, players and some coaches, as far as I'm aware. People high enough to be involved at board level, won't let much slip.
Iirc, Kemsley was the last director we had that was loose lipped, he was also heavily involved in the Jol/Ramos debacle.

What kind of aids is this forum infected with at the moment. Actual THFC fans begging for a CFC man through and through to become our manager over the man who gave you your self respect back as a THFC fan. Your current manager has shown he has the ability to build a team. He has tried to build a new one but our beloved owners are shafting him at every turn and now you lot are turning against him. Yes it's not been great this calendar year but if anyone deserves time to turn things around in my 40 years of supporting THFC then it's this man but you knee jerking twats are calling for his head. I couldn't give a flying fuck if i get neg repped to death but some of you lot deserve no success at all the way you're behaving.

Never have i felt so disillusioned as a THFC fan than now because of the behaviour of some of our fans on social media. I barely come on here now as the knee jerking is pathetic. Funny thing is i never senes this apathy at THFC aways. Thankfully the hardcore are fully behind the man as we have really seen shit with our own eyes to know what it really looks like.
Do you feel better after that mate?! :)
Got it off your chest, at least.

I know what people are saying re. ITK but if Poch was on his last legs at the club, in this age of social media I would expect us to hear something but it is very quiet. I'm not convinced that anything is imminent.

Jose Mourinho is free and I think he is what we need, a winning mentality. Don't get me wrong I'm an avid supporter of Poch but I think he has taken us as far as he can go. If we lose against the Toffees I think he should do the decent thing and walk. He'll get a top job elsewhere and will most likely do well but at Spurs the wheels have well and truly came off.

Interesting opinion, if we lose on Sunday we are 11 points behind Chelsea and we have to go to Stamford Bridge.
That's a 5 game swing.
The glorious leader will pull the trigger and qualifying for the Europa could now be a problem, oddly enough, i think we have been really unlucky in the first ten games .
I don't care about Chelsea, but Jose is a winner and watching him and Levy and loggerheads would be amusing.
Martin Jol ,gave us gave us our respect back long before Poch.

Guess it depends on peoples version of success. Some want entertaining football or great facilities others want to win things. All boils down to whether you believe the last 5 years to have been successful or not.

Not so sure about Poch giving us our self respect back as we were on the up and up a few years prior to his arrival compared to previous years. Couple that with the fact that just being a Spurs fan is enough in itself. We are one only 5 teams I believe to have been in the PL since its inception and have a pretty decent reputation in club football going back decades.

The game is about winning trophies, id take the league cup over fourth place, in twenty years time you wont remember finishing runners up.

I've been supporting Spurs for almost 60 years and in all of that time I have never lost my self-respect as a fan. There have been some great times, some good times and some bad times. Currently we are going through a pretty bad time, mainly because we have fallen so far so fast. Of course ENIC must share some of the blame for lack of investment, but Poch looks like a man who has completely lost his way. I hope I am wrong, but I see no way that he can turn around the present dismal state of affairs. Coaches/managers need to possess a degree of stubborness to do their job, but sometimes stubborness can be the devil within and this seems to be Poch's problem. He needs to alter various things, but will not do so. I believe this is more a case of his sticking by his guns than an inability to see what requires change.

It's funny how when you google Jose Mourinho, ALL the latest rumours and stories are about him going to Arsenal despite Arsenal being 5th in the league. Granted they've had some shabby results but we're down in 11th, 4 points behind them and yet there's little to no link to him with us.

Is all this just because of the game in midweek? Arsenal have a lot of good youth right now and sure, they lost on pens, but in the grand scheme of things they're still doing ok under Emery. Maybe not good enough for the fans atm but it will be good enough for the board I think. I don't see Emery going anytime soon.

If we lose to Everton on Sunday that will be 12 league games away from home without a win and we'll likely be down in 14th or something like that. I hope we win, I really do, but if we don't then it's time to make a change.

I think he likes to be proved right just a little too much, to the detriment of the team. Like when he said Dier could play defensive midfield and we didn't need a right back last summer. To some extent he is right, he can coach players to a particular role. But now I can't follow what he's doing even after a long think afterwards. I can't see why the Red Star Team, minus Lamela, didn't start at Pool. I accept we almost went 2-0 up and it could have been an amazing way to end our poor away run. However, I honestly watched that convinced we'd lose the game somehow. Gone are the days when we go 2-0 down at Juve and I believe we'll get a result.

All this talk of Mourinho as a serial winner is unbelievably exciting.

Until you realise it’s us. If any club is capable of annihilating a winner, it’s the mighty Tottenham. This should be fun

Mourinho will never take the spurs job, he’s openly said the next project will need to provide him with the same tools as what pep & Klopp have & their disposal in terms of ambition to win major titles & financial backing, let’s face it that’s never happening under Levy’s watch ........

I think that might just be a dig at United because he's not going to get that anywhere in England. Although if you look at the transfer spending from the last window we aren't that far behind:

Man City €168M
Liverpool €2M
Tottenham €114M (Lo Celso loan fee included)

That's obviously not historically normal spending for either us or Liverpool, but we're in a much better place to spend large amounts on transfers than we've ever been before.

Mourinho was unable to challenge City for the title with the biggest transfer budget and wage bill in the league. During his time at Utd both Pep and Klopp have shown themselves to be superior managers IMO so whilst those two are still managing here I don't see how Mourinho gets us a PL title with our inferior resources.

So that leaves the cups. Now I know I will get loads of disagrees on this bit I’m not really overly fussed about the FA and league cups. I understand why players and managers care about trophies, it’s their career and they want to look back at things they won etc but as a fan they aren’t the be all and end all for me.

I personally place far more importance on the quality of the football I go to watch week in week out over winning a cup. If you gave me the choice of reliving a spurs season from the last 15 years there would be a few I would pick ahead of the 2007/08 season.

I know I’m very much alone in this kind of thinking and I don’t expect other fans to agree but it’s how I view supporting spurs and why I’m not fully aboard the Mourinho train. There’s a trade off with him and I’m not sure it’s a price I would pay for a cup or two.

Saying that, if Klopp and Pep were to pack up and leave tomorrow and the league became a possibility I would be looking to board that train ASAP...

Didn’t Jose finish above Klopp, in second place, whilst he was at United? He also won more trophies there too before he left.

Pep at City is different of course. Nothing Klopp has done in his career can match Jose’s achievements as a manager. Not even comparable as it stands.

I do agree about the quality of football though @skiba

Problem is, we’re awful to watch and have been for a while under Poch. Harry produced far more entertaining football and the most entertaining football I’ve seen at Tottenham for a season or two.

So right now, if it’s a toss up between the dire stuff we watch under Poch and crap results or dire stuff under Jose but with great results, I’d take the second one I think!

A carabao cup win would do me. We aren't challenging for the title anytime soon.
