Next Spurs Manager (No longer with groundbreaking 'Change vote' functionality)

Mourinho spent millions at United and he has left them in an absolute mess.

Been a mess since Fergie left!

Fergie left them in a mess tbf.

Mourinho spent millions at United and he has left them in an absolute mess.

Won EFL cup, Community shield, Europa League in first season.
Finished 2nd in 2nd season.
He didnt leave them in any mess. Transfers done were not his transfers - one of the reasons he got frustrated by 3rd season

Dyche and Howe lol

I like Howe but doesn’t come across as a manager/1st team coach....doesn’t seem like he could command respect or dish out a half time lashing when it’s needed. Appears to be a nice guy No 2 type...anyway I know nothing so he could in fact be a mean son of a bitch!

They weren’t in a good place when he left. No one can deny that.

True...but since Fergie there’s been Moyes and LVG so for people to say it was Jose who left them in a mess is a bit unfair.

 

[RichieS]

Yet he keeps picking most of the "wasters" week in week out?

Something something no transfers something something #enicout

Mourinho is short term. Do well to get 2 years out of him and once he has had enough and wants his payout, usual mouthing off through the media. This is a guy who was moaning about signings at one of the wealthiest clubs in world football, so him combined with Levy is a complete car crash.

Why are people turning their noses up at Mourinho?

Are you actually aware of who we are and how much we've won in recent times?

Jose isn’t stupid, he knows (along with every other manager actually) what Levy is like so won’t be expecting huge amounts to be spent.

I have been thinking for months how Kane seems 'bulkier' and less willing to run the channels, and put it down to his ankle injuries and a change in playing style. And this probably is still my overall opinion. However, I was really keen to see on Saturday which players really put a shift in for Poch. Especially off the ball. Lamela certainly did. As did Winks and Moura when they came on. But Kane was one of the majority, the ones who did less than usual. Far less. When we had the ball there was zero movement off the ball. Add this to the fact the whole team seems a lot less fitter than usual (despite a full Poch pre-season - which you used to need to pairs of lungs for apparently!), and several players seem to have lost a yard of pace in the last 7 or 8 months. Is this an ageing squad (they're all relatively young!), or a team lost tactically? Or is it a team who stopped trying in the league several months ago?

Next manager ... Pochettino. Simple

Actually the rot started during Fergie’s last season. They were lucky to win the title that year but the squad was poor. Subsequent managers didn’t win anything until Jose came along.

Absolute rubbish. They won the FA cup the season before he joined them under LVG

I agree. He’d know that if he comes he won’t have the barrel of funds for his transfers that he had at some of his previous clubs.

I think, after the United stint, he’d want to prove that he can still get results , and doing it without unlimited financial means.He’s already proven that he’s a winner many times over, at different clubs in different leagues.

I wouldn’t him coming over on an initial short term deal (say up till the end of season 2020/21) and then see how it goes from there.

The senior players would give him more respect since they know that he’s a proven winner.

I stand corrected.

Just shows how good a manager Fergie was...not the first time he won trophies with a poor United team. More often than not he had a very good squad to chose from though.

 

[Japhet]

Bought using hundreds of millions.

To be fair, I think he won stuff with the players he largely inherited. It was after he spent 320m that they won fuck all and fell apart.

Honest question Gas as I like you as a poster. How much worse has it got to get before you take those nails out?

By the way I’m still torn as what to do

Between 63 and 66 Bill Nick's great double winning side stagnated and aged, slumping from the top 3 to 8th in 3 seasons. It was clearly the end of an era.

Did we decide to get rid of a manager who'd taken us as far as he could?

No. He built a new team with the likes of Mullery, Venables and Jennings, and we finished 3rd and won the FA Cup.

Again, when that team finished 11th in 70, he built another team with Perryman and Chivers, and we won another FA cup and a UEFA cup.

The point being, and it's one I've made many times in the last few weeks, that when a squad has reached the end of its lifecycle, as ours has, you don't just sack the most progressive manager this club has had since Burkinshaw. You let a man who has proven himself able to build excellent teams, and take them all the way to the very top of the game, the chance to do it again.

Yeah, if the man himself can't be arsed, and wants to move then, then fair enough. I'll wish him the best, and say thanks for wholesale sorting this club out.

So how bad does it need to get? Short of relegation, I'll back the man and anyone else if they want to be here and give it the bollocks. And now...

But with the modern economics and much financial implications involved in today's football business, that antique model just doesn't work anymore. It's not sustainable for a club of our growing stature.
