Oh, I'm sure he's thought about it. And you can bet your life Jose has thought about it as well. There are 3 options,

1) Levy has changed, and is honestly going to be prepared to do something he's never done before. Spend the big money on the big players with big reps and huge wages.
2) Jose has changed. He's had some sort epiphany, realised there's a different way of doing things, operating withing a much more limited budget. Taking money and being able to do more with it than the competition.
3) There's been some shit chatted in some meetings. Either one of them think option 1 or 2 or even a bit of both is happening. It's not.
TBF he did achieve point 2 at Porto do he can do it. Also, if memory serves, wasn't there talk a while back of him wanting to take on a more modest/ambitious project? TBF, I am sure that there will have been assurances about money and DL is not dealing with a 'yes' man now. Not in any way saying that Poch was but he was ambiguous in addressing issues whereas Mourinho won't be.

Not sure it’s been mentioned can’t be fucked reading 30+pages!! his role is Head coach.. I’m hoping this means we’ll be getting a new DOF in which we’ve been crying out for years. New DOF and Jose at the helm sounds very good

I am not sure - I think he may see finishing second, and those trophies in his first season as an amazing accomplishment, he did say from day 1 he needed years to rebuild Man U, but with us, he's already salivating at the squad he has inherited.. I am quietly optimistic...

Yeah for sure, I think he went in with a certain intention and then it ended up being impossible due to the infrastructure. Although he did spend a tidy sum whilst there to try and turn it and still wasn't able to get where he wanted to be. All I meant by that particular comment was I'm hopeful he's humbled a bit which would benefit us greatly in the long run. Failure isn't always a negative thing you can grow because of it.

Yeah nice one.

So only ****s have a winning mentality?

I woudn't have an issue with Klopp, Pep, Guardiola, Conte etc... as they haven't done anything as outwardly dickish as Mourinho. Sorry if having morals is such an outdated concept in todays society.

All the managers you've listed are def dickish.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was on about earlier. The moral high ground is a fantastic place, all power to you and we as Spurs fans take that high ground ritually, every time there's an issue, that's where we head. He did this, he did that, fuck off I don't want him in my club. Oh boofuckinghoo.

Exactly what I was on about. Wanting ones cake and eating it.

Fuck it, get someone with a bit of bite in, someone who'll put people's noses out of joint, who give as good as he gets and who'll stand our corner no matter what. Because 'nice' has won us fuck all for far too long, if you want nice then fine, but don't complain when once again, we're serial losers.

And the worst of it is, should this whole thing work and we actually win something, those morally superior chaps will fight their way to the front of the mob and cheer loudest.

You can bet both your bollocks, your cat and any residual bumfluff you might have lurking betwixt your pert pear like cheeks on it.

Why won't you get off the fence and just give us an opinion

Really want to see his backroom staff. Talk of a new team, excited to see who he brings.

Who the fuck is that Spurs fan on SSN ? Poch a tinnio? Energy? Looks like the knob from arsenal TV, the one who’s always head to toe in club clobber ?

Just to say - even in his 'failure' at Man Utd, he did still win the Europa and League cup. albeit with a very poor Man U squad.. I would consider trophies to be a success. personally. :)
This. He also got them to a 2nd place finish, average squad with a few big egos in the squad, Pogba, Lukaku and Sanchez spring to mind. My mate is a United fan and said hes a winner and hasn't a bad word to say about Jose, thinks he did well with what he had to work with while at United.
