Oh no we'll have to suffer him on TV all the time again...it was bad enough Sky having him as a so called pundit.

You got to love his business model. Signing 3 to 4 year highly numerated contracts to be let go after much less time than that. Is he still receiving money from United?
As a club I would think twice about giving him such long contracts, but I think if they want him he can basically state his conditions.

Making of them, or destroyer of worlds? Just doesnt seem to fit - will he be able to take them up a level with the levels of spend that Poch had to work with?

Not true. Believe it or not Spurs won trophies before football began in 1992.
I think it depends largely on what funds he has and who he brings in and more importantly who stays. I wonder how many of the big Spurs players have their agents already looking to fashion a way out of the club. We've seen before how player power seems to be able to dictate events more and more
This with knobs on. If I was a Spurs fan I'd be horrified. What type of football does he play? How does he leave a club? What state are that club in afterwards?
So many better options than him for Spurs. Be afraid Tottenham fans, be afraid.

Poison Mourinho, it's a car crash waiting to happen. He alienates and destroys players.
With spoiler football we'll be singing that well known Gooner song, "One nil to the Tottenham" 🙄

Fantastic appt for Spurs, they’ll get a trophy or two in the next few seasons, love him or hate him, he gets results.

Sad to lose Poch. Feels like losing an old friend - but we're 14th, lost 12 Premier League games since last Christmas. Haven't won in the Prem since September. They weren't going to be patient forever. I'd have been happy for him to stay on but the reasons for him going are clear.
Mourinho I think is a great appointment. World class manager, I don't know why people like to pretend he isn't one either. We have a lot of Mourinho type players as well, if anything the team already has some elements in common with a Mourinho team - good players with a competitive edge to them. We need to see that new manager bounce as we can't afford to lose many more games or this season will be a total write-off.

Exactly, he's one of the most decorated managers in the game, and people talk about him like he doesn't know what he's doing. I can't understand it.

Just make sure when you win a trophy you’re standing next to those who are against him and see if they celebrate.

It's going to be an interesting time for Spurs.
A proven manager with an enormous ego in a cash strapped club.
The biggest plus is he won't be a pundit on Sky - thank goodness for that !

I don't think 'cash-strapped' is the right word. We just famously don't like chucking it around. A cash-strapped club wouldn't be able to afford Mourinho in the first place. We have one of the best stadiums in the country, Champion's League currently although it will be a huge task for him to get into the top four again (I think we'll just miss out).
Imagine if he wins the FA Cup in his first non-even-full season. Scenes.

I would have preferred Rafa, he did a fantastic job at the Toon

Eh - with the historic style of football that Tottenham play, you think watching a team of spoilers is the way forward.

If I had to choose between Rafa and Maureen I'd definitely prefer Rafa.
I'm surprised that he doesn't come up more when considering how to move Arsenal forward. They have good players, but no pattern, and Rafa knows how to organise a team.
I'm similarly surprised that Spurs haven't done what they did when they employed Poch in the first place - look for a dynamic, young, forward looking coach trying to get on in the game. That would seem more in keeping with their place in the world.
Hopefully it all goes ***s up and provides us all with plenty to laugh at on the way...

Sorry but I don't really care about 'historic style of football'. I'm 33 so I grew watching us play awful football under the likes of Gerry Francis and George Graham. I just want us to win some football matches right now. The man has won trophies everywhere he's been.
