Exactly. I’m honestly fed up of Spurs supporters and their bullshit about “The Tottenham way” . What Tottenham way? The way that has got us 0 trophies in 20 years, whilst our big rivals like Chelsea etc are winning stuff left, right and centre. I’m honestly fed up of it. We finally have a serial winner in charge who hates losing and won’t accept failure.

Maybe trophies aren't the end all and be all since you can't even remember the one we won ?

Pretty sure this is the plan. 2 years with Jose, then back to a young project manager.

Me too but I have a feeling Jose wants to prove people wrong in many ways, not just his personality. I think he'll want to prove people wrong in what they say about his defensive football, and what they say about his 3rd year syndrome. I think he will be happy to stay longer at spurs, the only problem will be the chances of a long term relationship with Levy, on that I'm very sceptical.

Yeah, but the contract he was given says that we don't think that's the best idea atm. If he proves himself, then sure. But now the contract basically covers those 3 years.

I want both, but if I had to choose I'd choose excellent football over winning stuff
What if we played beautiful excellent football but got relegated because we couldn't get the wins. Winning isn't everything you said. Would you be ok with that?

Here's an odd coincidence I just noticed.

Villas Boas sacked December 2013. Our next match: West Ham in the League Cup.
Pochettino arrived May 2014. Our next match: West Ham in the League.
Pochettino sacked November 2019. Our next match: West Ham in the League.

Pochettino’s first game was at their place as well just like tomorrow.

I’ll take another 1-0 win with Dier getting a late winner from Right Back.

That's just Levy covering himself. He doesn't know how it'll pan out and doesn't want to be forking out too much compensation again. The other thing is we don't have to worry about certain mega teams trying to rehire him as he's already worked for the ones who were willing to hire him.

Bayern, psg, meh. It's wont take him. City and pool couldnt. Barca won't. Juve wont. Inter would love to but he wouldn't see the sense in it. There'll always be rumours of a Madrid return but I don't see the hurry there and I doubt Jose would when he's in a fortune already and he loves London.

Mourinho’s only ‘failed’ job - matches our best ever PL finish and wins more trophies in one season than we have in the last 20 put together.

edit: in which Mourinho also beat our current team at its peak in the FA Cup semi of 2018

Exactly. Mourinho could never expect a 5 year deal. It was always going to be a shorter deal, with a discussion about extension later on.

Needs to be a short mourning period despite being upset to lose Poch. It kinda feels like the awkward situation when one of your children split with a long term partner you like, and then you meet the new one for the first time. You feel like you are being disloyal to the original one :unsure:

Mourinho’s best season at each of his clubs:

Porto - 1st
Chelsea - 1st
Inter - 1st
Madrid - 1st
Chelsea - 1st
United - 2nd (to Guardiola’s 100 point season)

That is a phenomenal record imo

I know it’s that total shit rag the Sun ( and it’s not my copy btw), but you have to hand it to them when it comes to amusing puns and headlines :D
