How do you think he DID introduce himself? "Hello, my name is Schawzé"?
"My name is the Special one, but you can call me Mou"

You know what I mean. If it was Eddie Howe, some in the squad wouldn't know who he was, and he'd have to work much harder to earn their respect.How do you think he DID introduce himself? "Hello, my name is Schawzé"?
...said the zygote.Bless, he's growing up.
He really did stroke Dier quite affectionately - its quite disconcerting #JOKE
Dele will be Lampard mk2
I’d read the interviews and comments surrounding Mourinho, and how he had taken time to reflect on what had gone wrong at Utd. Also how he had decided to change his backroom staff to provide fresh insight.
Well, his appointment has been followed by the announcement of a new assistant and goalkeeping coach. There seems a lot of talk surrounding Campos too, which makes sense from a structure point of view.
Worth noting that the official announcement
“We can now confirm the appointments of Joao Sacramento, Carlos Lalin, Nuno Santos, Ricardo Formosinho and Giovanni Cerra as part of new Head Coach Jose Mourinho’s coaching staff.”
Suggests there may yet be further additions. May be Campo, may be additional coaches.
I will say I find it hard to believe this all happened overnight, that’s a lot of moving parts to manage in such a short time, but at least Levy has been proactive.
I always found Mourinho to be too arrogant for my liking, but from the recent pundit work I’ve seen, and the (albeit majorly scripted) interview, he comes across far more humble and considered in his comments than previously. Maybe he has been stung into some serious self reflection, but so long as his tactical sharpness is still on track, then we may be heading back on the front foot.
The interview was a little corny, too many ‘Us’, and ‘Our’ to be believed, but he does look re-energised and very focussed. He seems to have a clarity and intensity about the way he talks, like he knows what he’s inherited, and what he needs to do to prove he isn’t a spent force. He is a winner, and being seen as mediocre clearly doesn’t sit well with him.
The training video also may have been somewhat planned and edited to show a happy bunch, but it still provides a bit of feel good factor after the loss of one of the most popular managers in recent Spurs history. Structure to what’s going on, with some tactile moments showing some bonds being built. If Jose can restore Dier and Alli to their form of 18 months ago, that is a good start.
Well, it didn't happen over night did it? It appears that way, but really that's just in appearance. There are many weeks already since Mourinho and some who now are his staff watch Tottenham at home in PL.I will say I find it hard to believe this all happened overnight, that’s a lot of moving parts to manage in such a short time, but at least Levy has been proactive.
Yep, i re listened,,,
the older grey haired guy is Nuno the GK coach... funnily enough walking around with GK gloves
I don’t think that is a fair characterisation. People have given reasons why they dont want Mourinho not why he won’t join. The fact he plays stodgy football is not something new people have just come up with, as you intimated. It was a key objection to him becoming our manager. There were lots of objections and they are still valid.It was and honest post that is true. It was not directed to you, as I don't think you post crap. At least not all the time.
But you must agree, I'm sure, that on SC in general for weeks there has been so much idiocy posted about Mourinho and why he wouldn't come to Tottenham. So now, when people claim to know that his football moving forward will be shit, I call bullshit.
And everybody knows that I post what I think, I don't post to be popular.

We’ll get a huge chunk of the compensation back when Poch takes another job, and it’s hardly as though cash flow is lacking. We’re one of the ten richest clubs in world football and the stadium revenue is paying for the stadium debt by itself, we can very well afford a fucking DM and RB.
I do know what you mean and then I realised that the idea of him actually introducing himself is rather funny. Like, how do you do it in that situation of everybody obviously having a decade long impression of you.You know what I mean. If it was Eddie Howe, some in the squad wouldn't know who he was, and he'd have to work much harder to earn their respect.
Hi, I'm special. But hey you already know that.I do know what you mean and then I realised that the idea of him actually introducing himself is rather funny. Like, how do you do it in that situation of everybody obviously having a decade long impression of you.
True. Probably still easier than if you're Eddie Howe. He'd probably actually need to tell them his name.I do know what you mean and then I realised that the idea of him actually introducing himself is rather funny.

We can argue about the details, I don't know it that's very productive.I don’t think that is a fair characterisation. People have given reasons why they dont want Mourinho not why he won’t join.

Nobody knows anything about the future as a fact but you assess the evidence in the past and form a judgement. That’s not a great picture.
But he’s said all the right things and I hope he’s a massive success
