If Mourinho could hold himself back from sniping about transfer funds it could be ok.

Yeah, I mean, it would boil over at some point. But the question is what would happen up until that point. That's for each to decide what they think, and if they think it would be worth it. I see some posters are afraid that we'd take to steps forward one step backward once he would leave. But that's exactly what's the case right now, so how much do we really have to lose?

I agree with you that maybe it's time to change the way the club operates, that's certainly a discussion to be had, but just because we think it should change, doesn't mean it will. I think deep down we all know that even if we do get Mourinho, Levy still won't sanction hundreds of millions in net transfer spend. In which case I think Mourinho is more likely to fall out with everyone and leave in a strop than he is to transform us into winners.

I think this is where his remit will be different to previous clubs.
He's intelligent enough to realise that winning the league is unrealistic at Spurs and won't be what defines him as a success or not.

All the clubs he has been at the last 10 years have had resources to spend, so he did.

A domestic pot or two and some classic snidey, shit house, barely deserved victories at Anfield, Stamford Bridge and Woolwich would suffice, Jose. That's how we'd measure success.

Sign here.

I understand you, but I'm not onboard with those who claim that Levy and Mourinho couldn't collaborate. Yes they have built their status in the game on different approaches, but I fully believe that if they were put together in the same club, they'd be a heck of a combination. For a time, though. For a time.

Well it all depends on what Levy will hypothetically expect. If he’d expect us to challenge City and Liverpool operating the same way I’m sure Jose would laugh in his face.

True. And equally if one would expect 80 million pounds signings at FB, CB, CM, AM and subs Levy would laugh in return.
But we have to think about the potential inherent in today's squad. They are a bunch of talented players in an underperforming team. To me they are screaming out for simple, effective tactics, simple, effective training, simple, effective motivation, and just to have a bit of fun whilst winning.

I'm not anti Mourinho if it comes to Poch losing his job, but I find some of the comments that he'd 'guarantee' us trophies a bit far fetched.

We've won one trophy under ENIC, and it was the smallest cup, they're not fussed. Don't expect this to magically change overnight.

He’d be quick to remind everyone that we haven’t won a single trophy for 11 years, it’s only been two league cups since 91 and no league title since 61.

If he’s genuinely refreshed, focused and eager to throw his all in to a job again, it could be an amazing appointment. The problem is if he isn’t. At no point did he look happy to be at United, it felt like he took that job just because it was United and they’re hard to turn down.

Thing is, I don’t think he can do worse than what we’ve seen over the last 11 months. That’s the worst case scenario, best case scenario is he could genuinely change all them ugly looking trophy stats above.
He’s done things in his career that no coach in the division can match. Pep and Klopp would never win the Champions League with Porto or Inter. Never in a million years

Does he still have it? I think it’s worth a punt

Only one poster has said that, so it's hardly a widely held view.

I think it's fair to say that of the managers available, he'd be the most likely to bring us success based on the fact he gobbles trophies up like a fat kid with a bag of sweets.

It’s weird. Some here don’t like him, yet I suspect the same people would run over hot coals to have Klopp appointed.

Klopp is a massive bellend, passive aggressive and like a massive spoilt kid when things don’t go his way. Lacks class in a big way too. People are forgetting this because he’s not had things go against for sometime now. Watch how he acts when Liverpool start losing etc ( they will eventually )

Jose can be a massive prick too. Thing is, there’s too many top quality players that have played under him that would literally run through walls for him and are pretty much in love with him for him to simply be a massive prick. I know for a fact that away from football he’s as nice a bloke as you can meet too.

Do you reckon that Levy would appoint him?

Who knows. We all know what kind of manager Levy prefers. What I reckon is that they would have serious chats. I have no idea what would come out of such talks, though. A part of me does wish for Levy to try. What do you think?

He's literally said the next club he joins he wants to win though.

Mourinho said: "The only thing that I know is what I don't want, and what I don't want is crystal clear. What I want, the general profile of course, but I can't say clubs or countries.

"I am quite pathological in this sense that I have to play to win, and then if I win or I don't win that's my problem, and the players' and the club's and the structure.

"But I need a project where the feeling is I play to win.

This is why all this talk about Jose feels like nothingness to me, it's not about whether he's a good manager or not he clearly is, it's whether he can fit within the infrastructure Levy puts forward and I don't think Jose would even entertain it.

Nagelsmann just joined Leipzig and they are flying in the league and CL. Plus i don't think he'd want the stain on his reputation jumping ship on them after only 4 months. I will be massively surprised if he leaves this season.

Unless it’s Allegri or Jose, I don’t see any of the candidates leaving mid season - far more likely it would be e.g. Hughton until the end of the season, and then an approach for Rodgers/ Nagelsmann/ Ten Hag/ whoever in the summer.

RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann says you're left with no chance as a coach if your players aren't willing to run that extra mile for you.

"You have no chance if the players don't play for you," Nagelsmann told MDR.

When things get exhausting, a player looks to the sidelines and thinks, 'Am I willing to run for him or not?'. You can pack your bags if they don't run for you," he added.

Like this quote from Nagelsmann on Bundesliga news today. Makes me wonder if the players look over to Poch on the touchline and question what they are doing.
