Not sure how long it will take to get used to having him as manager but just feels so fucking weird seeing in him at our Press conferences talking like he is our manager.

Anyone else see Gary Nevilles comments about Jose and levy being a relationship of convenience.

www.skysports.com

Jose Mourinho and Tottenham a 'marriage of convenience', says Gary Neville
Neville: "Mourinho needed to get back into the Premier League to re-establish himself. Levy needed someone who could get the football club quickly back up to a level that is acceptable and into the Champions League. This is a marriage of convenience."

It was really disappointing to read as until then I’d liked Neville as a pundit but it kind of belittled is really almost saying Jose is using us as a stepping stone back to top management but I think thsts just suck bollocks and really not sure why he’s said this especially as he worked with Jose at sky.

jose is 55, he probably thinks he’s realistically got 10-15 years left in management, mabye 10 at the top. He lives in London and ideally wanted a London job, he’s at a club which has a good squad, an amazing infrastructure, is only going in one direction and is a nice challenge and he loves an underdog challenge that’s what motivates him so spurs really is the ideal fit. Hopefully he does well and stays for 3-4 years then he’s nearly 60 and as he said could go back to Portugal to manage the national team or his old local team etc. He’s managed top clubs in every league and won trophies everywhere, why would he go anywhere else after Spurs? If he’s successful with us it’ll be one of his biggest achievements, he’ll have proved to everyone once and for all what a simply incredible football coach he is and has been and he can then wind down his career ideally in Portugal.

g.nev is a twat is basically what I’m saying.
Neville also picked Hazard as a cm in his PL team of the decade. He’s a complete moron.

Lots of us discussed it last night.

And yeah he doesn't want to acknowledge we could be a serious force with JM, so came out with this bollox instead.

Jose and Amazon are a match made for each other, he is absolutely loving this

As are they, this is great stuff for them to film. The timing couldn’t be better...... dundunduuuuunnnn.. nah, no conspiracies. None at all. Not one. Nada.

I already had this galaxy brain take before that Bezos set this one up and is paying the wages. Nothing trumps electric content.

What a start this man has had. Long may it continue. Absolutely nailing his press conferences and pitchside manner, 7 goals in 2 games despite his 'boring' perception and now showing his class with 2 game changing substitutions*, one of the biggest criticisms of Poch in his time here.

*the early one that not many managers have the balls to do and the Sissoko one which IMO allowed us to go on and win comfortably

I really hope we've stumbled on a reborn Mourinho, he certainly seems motivated and refreshed so far but it's still early days.

Fix the defensive issues and keep the confidence high - both things he has highlighted - and we'll be a real force under this man. Need another good win on Saturday to keep this momentum up.

Can’t really fault him at the moment. He’s been almost perfect in press conferences, even aiming a dig at the Chelsea support - and the results have been good. I wish he’d stop lying about it not being about him though..... what other manager says ‘it’s my 80th win in the CL’ without being asked by the journos ?

He loves the publicity so much. The Amazon thing is perfect for him. I didn’t like the fact they were filming this season but it actually may make Jose even better because he loves playing up to the camera so much. Not a criticism, just an observation. He often says in a thousand words what other managers say in a hundred.

With that said, he does seem a bit different this time around in terms of his character and long may that continue. It might just be excitement that will wear off but it also might be because he can’t believe how big this club actually is now he’s here and he’s really looking forward to the challenge. Let’s hope he’s learned from his mistakes at Man Utd. Always hated when he called a player out or blamed the board etc. If he can cut that out when things go a bit sour, which they probably will at some point, then I think the fans will really take to him and he could become a legend here if and when he wins something ?

He had me at ‘huge pillows’.
