Spurs job is not easy at all nine but I think jose over the last few years is still using the same tactics now that he used 15 years ago. We saw it in his final year at Chelsea then utd. Blake’s everyone but himself. Criticises his own players in public.
He’s calling out the likes of Paul
Merson ffs. Just ignore a pundit like Merson.He waits for teams to make mistakes rather then push the game himself With his attacking tacticsI might be wrong. Huge challenge at spurs and the wrong man bigtime for that club in my opinion
Time will tell
He will still go down in football folklore as one of the best manager ever in the game

Shiney, that’s fine matey. THe football under poch the last 2 years was shocking. This isn’t any worse but it’s also No better. Mourinho has inherited a defence that cannot defend to save their lives, there is no midfield whatsoever and he has to rotate moura and lamela. What style do people expect with davies and Aurier as full backs and sissoko as our main man in midfield? Our bench every game is full of centre backs and central midfielders. We have no attacking threat from full backs and no back up for them. We ha e no attacking options that can change a game if needed. The squad needs replacing.

Sean, if Jose lost it at Chelsea in his final year he won the PL title and the League Cup in the previous season and at United he won two trophies and got them up to 2nd in the PL.
I don’t think he and Spurs are a match made in heaven and the timing was all wrong too but he’s won trophies at every Club he’s been at.
I agree though he should have been bigger than having a go at Merson but that’s Jose for you.
He will never be without his problems he’s a complete prize plumb at times but I still don’t believe he’s a busted flush.
He’s got a massive task on his hands at Spurs though with a very limited transfer budget.

Spurs borrowing £170m to cover next season is unheard of Shiney but the majority of Clubs are going to be tens of millions of pounds short next season because of Cov19.

999 – levy has done it because it’s near enough free with only 0.5% interest being charged and spurs (along with United) were the only team that qualified for the loan due to the stable financial nature of the club / business. As in life the more you haVe, the more you can borrow. Spurs now have an extra £175m in the bank. Will it be spent on transfers? Probably not but that’s because levy isn’t interested in improving the club on the pitch. Whilst it won’t be flowing out the turnstiles cash won’t be tight.

Do you think jose will win a trophy at spurs nine? If he dies, it will be his biggest achievement
He was brought to utd to win the pl. they finished 2nd over 20 points behind city. He spent loads of money at utd.
He left Chelsea and utd in poor positions.
As I said time will tell but I can’t see him succeeding with a chairman that won’t spend big

Sean, the problem is no manager will be successful under levy. Klopp or pep wouldn’t win trophies because they wouldn’t be backed by levy.

Spurs have some very very good players and it’s now up to jose to get the best out of them.
Front 4 of moura, Ali, son and Jane in a 4-2-3-1 formation should be frightening.
4 brilliant players who on their day could destroy any team
Nit sure what has happened to the centre backs. Sanchez has gone to absolute shite.
Alderweild and verthoghen were two of the best centre backs in the pl up until recently
Both are getting on in age.
They need a right full. Aurier is a joke.
If spurs give dier a new contract then that’s one thing already jose needs to be questioned on

“Tottenham Hotspur have taken out a taxpayer-backed loan from the Government after fears of losing £200 million in the next year.
Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, has borrowed £175 million from the Covid Corporate Financing Facility to cover the impact of the coronavirus pandemic closing football’s doors to fans.
Spurs’s new stadium opened last season and generates millions from home matches, hosted NFL games and had a Guns N’ Roses concert scheduled before the spread of Covid-19. Premier League clubs are also set to pay a rebate to broadcasters for matches being played behind closed doors.
Levy was paid a £3 million bonus for completing the club’s new stadium but will not be allowed to receive a dividend should the loan last more than a year. Bank of England guidelines state companies “will be expected to provide a letter addressed to HM Treasury that commits to showing restraint on the payment of dividends and other capital distributions and on senior pay.”
“Due to the significance of income from matchday, conferencing and third party live events such as concerts and other sports, our estimated revenue loss, including broadcast rebates, may exceed £200m for the period to June, 2021,” read a statement from Tottenham.
Jose Mourinho will not be using the money to buy players when the transfer market opens. Levy issued a stark warning when the Premier League was suspended, insisting that instead of discussing transfers football needed to “wake up to the enormity” of the pandemic.
He reversed his decision to use the Government’s furlough scheme for some employees during the coronavirus crisis, following criticism from supporters.
“We have always run this Club on a self-sustaining commercial basis,” Levy said. “I said as early as March 18 that, in all my 20 years at the Club, there have been many hurdles along the way but none of this magnitude – the Covid-19 pandemic has shown itself to be the most serious of them all.
“It is imperative that we now all work together – scientists, technologists, the Government and the live events sector – to find a safe way to bring spectators back to sport and entertainment venues. Collectively we have the ability to support the development of new technologies to make this possible and to once again experience the passion of fans at live events.” Daily Telegraph 4/06.

Sean – lucas moura is possibly one of the poorest signings we’ve made the last 10-15 years. Has no redeeming qualities. Alli is a shadow of the player he was 4-5 years ago. Son and Kane can destroy teams but they can’t do it from 50 yards for. Goal which is where they have drop to to get the ball.
Thanks for the article 999. It says nothing though. Spurs made 200m profit the last 2 years. Lose 200m that puts them even, but then add 175m and they are basically in the same position. Levy saw an opportunity to boost the bank balance at minimal cost and he’s done it.

Levy is undoubtedly the root cause of Spurs’ problems. On one hand he’s very conservative. But on the other, he invests hugely in a new stadium at a time when match day revenues account for a smaller and smaller proportion of total revenues. It’s like buying a hotel on a monopoly board before you’ve bought the houses.

Mikus – I get the idea of the new stadium. The revenue it generates is huge but it is to the detriment of the team which levy isn’t bothered about. We will potentially finish as low as 14th this season and it still won’t convince levy to spend

I agree with Sean regarding Jose, he is finished as a top coach and uses outdated tactics. At Porto he played anti football whilst hoping to nick a goal and it was successful. Then he went to teams with massive financial backing and played good football and was successful. Recently ir seems he has returned back to his Porto ways.
He was moderately successful at Utd. Not sure calling winning both the second rate European and domestic cup competitions and being runners up so far behind City as successful is what Utd would want mind. But the football was dreadful. Truly dreadful for a team like Utd.
I know some on here have fond memories of his time at their respective clubs but can you honestly say he plays football fitting for a top team? Forget all the other stuff that comes with him, he’s just turned into a sub standard manager.

Chelsea were the complete team in 04-05. Some very good attacking players and so solid at the best. They played some good stuff.
Utd were desperate to watch all through his tenure

It’s the mentality of a side that dictates a lot of their success. Under Klopp Liverpool have arguably played better football in previous seasons than this season, with the difference being they were much stronger mentally this season which constantly saw them get over the line in many games. I think Jose took a poor Utd side with some players he didn’t really want and overachieved with them the season they finished second. So Jose is still more than capable of instilling such a mentality in teams but his last two clubs (including Spurs) have invested poorly. And Spurs are in desperate need of some fresh faces.

Why are we so involved in discussion about Jose? I mean, like everything about him, surely it’s all long settled. I’m not saying you lads shouldnt … just that I’m surprised that it’s up for discussion at all.
I never liked him though, so I guess Im pretty biased. However, I knew he was wrong for Utd and the same for Spurs. I’m not sure who will hire him after Spurs but there will always been some total moron chairman who thinks he might get back to his old form…

Mak, Jose came up as part of the discussion re Spurs decline.
I agree with you Jose is not the right fit for Spurs for all sorts of reasons. Interesting article by Ian Ladyman in the Mail today on Spurs that touches on all this.
