Oh, I'm sure he's thought about it. And you can bet your life Jose has thought about it as well. There are 3 options,

1) Levy has changed, and is honestly going to be prepared to do something he's never done before. Spend the big money on the big players with big reps and huge wages.
2) Jose has changed. He's had some sort epiphany, realised there's a different way of doing things, operating withing a much more limited budget. Taking money and being able to do more with it than the competition.
3) There's been some shit chatted in some meetings. Either one of them think option 1 or 2 or even a bit of both is happening. It's not.

brilliant?

I predict a Clough at Leeds 44 day type reign.

example 1 - January 1st

Jm. Okay Daniel my special new friend, let’s get that 200m spent, here’s my list

dl. 200m? Where did you get that from

Jm. Er remember that night we spoke in November, the night of the long knives, we even stabbed Jesus

dl nope, it’s always super hard to get players in January, toughie, woughie, the other chairman are so mean they want top dollar when I’m buying, but when I’m selling they won’t buy my shit. Mean.

jm. Ok my little evil fiend, how much do I have to spend

dl we have to sell to buy

jm who’s on the list and what are we asking

dl Danny Rose - £300m.

jm. Exit stage left.

That was the original point, just have to click through a fair few quotes. But yeah, whatever, that's all I've been taking about. It's my view Jose will need to spend to avoid him throwing a strop. Big. More than we've ever spent before. On specific players he'll want. That are well known and therefore very expensive.

Do I think Levy will allow that to happen? No.

But if you look at our targets in the last couple of years they were players like De Ligt, De Jong, Ndombele, Lo Celso and Dybala. Poch was already pushing us to sign those well known players so it's not a new approach. I guess Jose might want some older, more experienced players, so there may have to be a compromise between Levy and Jose at some point. People talk about his massive spending at other clubs, but there's always a Man Utd/ Real Madrid tax on players as they're the richest clubs in the world. It's going to be interesting to see how this works.

Klopp is a fuck, Pep is a bit of a one as well imo.

Get behind him and quit the moral high ground bollox.

Have either of them verbally abused female doctor doing their job in the middle of a match to such an extent that it was taken to a court a law?

Or guaged the eyes of an opposition coach because they couldn't handle losing a match?

Sorry but I can't get behind that kind of behaviour. There needs to be a line drawn somewhere.

Mourinho is total box office, it'll be great for our global profile and branding.

Another thing to consider is do you think our big players (Kane) will stomach another five year plan/project.

This is part of the thinking and why options limited.

Mourinho is a manger that will keep these players who want results quickly.

I hope everyone is ready for us to be hated even more :LOL: Fuck it, something different :sneaky:
Why do people get so uptight about what others think of us. I've never understood this. Is it a sign of the times where bants and oneupmanship is so important? I for one couldn't give a hot shit what other fans say or think.

Ok, enjoy your hibernation whilst the rest of us get behind him!

I appreciate everything Poch did for us, and it was the best time I have had in my 28 years supporting Spurs, but I think it was time to part ways before it spoilt the memories of Poch.

For the last year we have been pretty poor, and the team at the minute just didn't believe in him anymore, and his tactical choices where poor at best.

Hopefully Mourinho and Levy can work together, but I am excited to see what Calibre of players Mourinho can attract. His name and reputation suddenly opens up another level of resources.

Wonder how long they're gonna keep this up :D

Genuinely worried that he might piss Chirpy off, can't be having upsetting the club mascot now.

I wouldn't mess with this, be warned Jose

I think this is key. A Pochettino / Howe long term project type appointment would leave the current squad wondering how long it will be until we're challenging. This unequivocally says the club's aim is to challenge immediately.
