Interesting move for Mourinho and Spurs. Spurs changed the dynamic of their club and Mourinho going almost back to his roots of a big club just under the radar. Shades of Porto and Inter about this one. Maybe even Chelsea Mk 1. If I was Levy I'd have gone for Nagelsmann personally, as a continuation of the Pochettino route. He'll win trophies there though for sure and will be interesting to see what that does for them. Like him or loathe him Tottenhams live matches and MOTD will be fun packed with stories, interviews etc. |

Packed defence, packed midfield, occasionally sneaking one on the break. |

Definitely a gamble by Levy this one as sure the Spurs fans are going to be so mixed thoughts on this appointment especially after the relationship & affection they seemed to have for Poch. Whilst Mourinho will likely divide opinion amongst the fans who still likely in shock from last nights announcement, theres a good chance he will win them some form of trophy or honour. But if their style becomes drab & negative compared to the flair they possessed in recent seasons & trophies dont come then I'm sure the Spurs faithful will quickly turn on Levy's decision making & it may come back to haunt him.
I know he isnt quite the big name Spurs fans would have no doubt been clambering for but I think Chris Hughton would of been a good choice for them to stabilise them abit. Spurs is his club after years of playing for them, coaching at all levels there & also having been an interim manager on a handful of occasions too.
Time will tell but I'm sure Spurs will live off the arrogant swagger for abit, a world away from the relatively low key no nonsense but effective style Pochettino brought them for the last 5 or so years.

Mourinho appointed. Bad call. Irrespective of whether this is a good decision or not, it shows that Levy had a plan, with Jose lined up, before getting rid of Pochettino. Maybe something our hierarchy wouldn't understand?  |

Maybe something our hierarchy wouldn't understand? He had to act fast according to Talk Sport Arsenal were lining him up . He`s a bad fit for Spurs just as he was for Utd. I can see it ending in tears at Spurs. |

If Harry decides it's time to move on now Poch has gone, it could bet worse before it gets better.

Losing Alderweirald (sp), Vertonghen and Eriksen for nowt is a disaster. So they'll have to spend a shitload just to stand still. Jose isn't everyone's cup of tea, so one or two others may want to move on. He is a tosser though.

In the first case it didn’t occur to us that plans a,b and c wouldn’t come off and we managed to cock things up to the extent that we went with plan d. With the Rowett replacement we got our first choice, he was just the wrong man. |

Packed defence, packed midfield, occasionally sneaking one on the break. And fun interviews only if you consider listening to him trying to pass narcissistic excrement as enigmatic intellect to be fun. However, what is guaranteed is that the lazy English media will continue to fawn over his every syllable. |

Good comment. I’ve been following Spurs for over 50 years and today I’m reeling. First the sacking of Poch, which for all the recent goings on and general poor form, was a shock. But the appointment of Mourinho as manager is the final straw. I know his managerial cv is brilliant and he could win us a trophy or two. But I can’t stand the man. His non-stop whining and moaning, blaming everyone but himself for his team’s short comings, all being played out every week on TV and in the papers. I always said I would stop watching Spurs if he was ever to become our manager. I’m now going in to ‘exile’ until he’s gone. I cancelled my Now TV subscription today, no big deal I know, but it was how I got to watch most of Spurs matches. |

bizarre decision by a usually savvy Levy. Mourinho lost the plot at Chelsea was a near disaster at Manu and seems to be in decline as a manager.
The football will be dull and attritional and Spurs fans will soon turn against him. His Interviews are no longer fun and are now just boorish. It's another reason to give watching the premier league circus a swerve.

Is this insider gossip we should know? Vertonghen nailed her and the entire squad fell out. Hence the severe dip in form mate. Wouldn’t be the first time things fell apart because of inappropriate relationships between players and other players wives, and popular players left unexpectedly. Just saying. |

Can't think many Spuds fans are happy about this. |

Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this, but with Mourinho now installed at Spurs, that ends any chance of any one of their very talented academy breaking into the first team anytime soon. This has to open up opportunities for clubs in the championship to take some of their kids on loan in January.
They have a seventeen-year-old striker called Troy Parrott who I'd love to see at Stoke, at least until everyone recognises how brilliant he is. He's huge, quick, technically very good, and prolific at youth level. He made his debut for the Irish senior team last week. Under Mourinho, he's not going to get a look in so long as Kane remains on the books.

We clearly though QSF was our man when Hughes was sacked and we’d clearly lined up Jones when Rowett was sacked. Pulis first time round was appointed by a different chairman and we had a different CEO. |
