Funny, I can see Rose being just Jose's sort of player.
I think Eriksen is committed to leaving as soon as possible, I doubt much will change there, and I doubt he'll play for us again.I just hope he has a chat with the contract boys and asks if they intend to sign or not. You'll know where they are standing over the next month. In particular, Eriksen. If he doesn't commit, jm will essentially castigate him out of the squad until he can be tossed overboard in January. Toby and Verts is a slightly harder issue, as we don't have much cover at cb. So he may have to be pragmatic.
I’ve lost three in the shitterMourinho has made 35,000 pounds since yesterday’s announcement.
Absolutely, I've no problems with giving Levy the credit if it all pays off. If I'm prepared to say it's all on him when the world and their other halves know what Mourinho is capable of if he gets it wrong then in equal measure he should get the credit for being bold as the world and their other halves also know what Mourinho is capable of if it goes right.So by the same token if we do win a trophy then we all have to accept it's all on Levy's back and give him the credit?
One thing that is now pretty obvious is that Mourinho isn't going to get the usual honeymoon period so let's hope he hits the ground running with a win at West Ham.

All I would say is that the players mentioned for the other clubs have a better passing range than Winks.Don't think this is true actually, he regularly played Cesc in a CM 2 in his last stint at Chelsea, Alonso was his main CM at Real, Stankovic played the 2nd most games in CM for him at Inter and Carrick (who was 35 at the time) started 50% of matches in Jose first season.
So much has been written and said about Mourinho. One thing is as clear as day, and excuse the pun, but in the end all Spurs fans should be united on this.
If it all goes terribly wrong, and to make matters worse, we end up being the only side he's ever managed that doesn't win silverware and it all ends in the same acrimonious way it does with all the other clubs he has left there can and should be no doubt whatsoever that this should all be on Levy's shoulders !
There can and should be no excuses this time for Levy, no one at this club should be trying to even defend Levy for this, if it all goes pear shaped and we don't even see any of the silver lined good bits.
I hope it doesn't happen pan out this way, and I'm not even saying it will, I'm simply saying that there is a risk that it could. It's not as if Levy can say he didn't go into this with his eyes shut, or he can say that he was either completely or even mildly unaware of what could possibly go wrong, the entire bloody world in this case knows only too well what could go wrong.
I think this is as bold as Levy has gone in any gamble, and there can and should be no hiding place if the Mourinho gamble fails so badly here and Poch succeeds so well elsewhere. If that happens we will quite rightly face the full force and ridicule and eternal told you so's that any football club has ever faced.
Only time will tell what will happen.....let's all hope, me included that it doesn't begin, happen and end in the way many know it could.
Trying right nowDon’t put yourself down. You can do more.

From an employment law POV you're right. Termination without notice in breach of contract (i.e. wrongful dismissal) means any contractual restrictive covenants fall away.I don’t think the club is in a position to impose such a condition when terminating a contract without notice.

Article from a Portuguese journo on Jose and his strategy for squad
Names Issa Diop (WestHam), Ruben Dias (Benfica), Van De Beek (Ajax), Fernandes as possible young players he is interested in
I was more excited for the first minute of the CL final.I feel like there's a change already. I worked from home yesterday and listened to talk sport from 8-5, and literally all day it was José and Spurs talk.
BBC football currently has the first 5 stories as José and Spurs. I haven't ever seen that regarding Spurs or any other manager we've had.
In the football world I think we're always seen as 'nice' Tottenham. Try and play the right way but ultimately are never a proper threat. We're not properly feared, or certainly we've become not feared.
I think just having José in charge can give us a psychological advantage. I think teams will start to fear us again. I think he'll make us really hard to beat. Despite things falling apart at utd when he was there, their first 11 was nowhere near at the quality of ours.
Personally I've never been as excited to be a Spurs fan.
