His time must be up when someone like yourself is asking for Jose unless your jesting of course.

It feels dirty, but I keep looking over at Leicester jealously and kinda wishing we had Rodgers..l
Disliked him greatly from his time at Liverpool but reading him talking about how he’s got leicester tactically set up for Vardy just got me dreaming what he could do with our lot.

He's already got them in Kane, Son, and arguably Dele on his day.
Add Sessegnon, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Sanchez into the mix, and there's a lot of expensive players here for Jose to build on.

I look at Leicester jealously and wish we had Maddison, Chilwell and Tielemans. They've got a lot going for them at the minute.
Another reason why it's imperative we end this period of rot sooner rather than later - other teams are catching up and overtaking us rapidly.

Nope, lots of people genuinely dislike him.
He doesn't really bother me but I'm not going to tell other people why they dislike someone, that's weird.

No mate, it's got everything to do with his personality. Now obviously I don't know him as a person, so can only go by what I've seen of him in interviews etc... but that thing with the Chelsea doctor and gouging Tito Vilanova in the eye completely sums him up for me.
If he were to be our manager, I'd support him, obviously, but it would leave a nasty taste in my mouth, the same way supporting Graham and Redknapp did. And yes, I know that plenty of people love(d) Redknapp, but I always disliked him. Not for the football his teams played or the clubs he managed, but for his personality. Same goes with Mourinho.

I get it mate and I never liked Redknapp either. Unfortunately football makes even the most decent of people do some very stupid things. Even Dembele eye gouged a player in the heat of the moment.

Again the Kool Aid must be strong. If you think Eriksen, Toby, Rose and Jan are gonna sign new contracts because of Jose, I think you’re very much mistaken.
This squad needs a total rebuild. There are people who are living in la-la land if they think it doesn’t, and a manager with a “winning mentality” comes in and everything is hunky dory.
Some of these players are past their best, some just want a new challenge, and some were never good enough anyway.

The alternatives to the current manager always look better than the person in the job because they can say what they like about what they do. Only a few ever really achieve it hence a great attrition rate in the managers job market.
The incumbent is hamstrung by the conditions that prevail within the the club and the historic decisions and changing is a slow process
Also the new manager syndrome is usually a bounce 3 - 6 games and then everything reverts back to normal conditions. We have two real issues to contend with currently, maybe three.
The first being that we have a squad that the manager has wanted to refresh and change. And the players know that
The second is the vast majority of then are still hurting from the scar of the CL final defeat Most probably wont get a second chance
Add the fact of the scar of the defeat to the manager wants to replace you and you have something close to a perfect storm. If we had a new manager then I think almost certainly the two issues still prevail.
Then this compounded by that fact sides dont usually perform as well when they move stadiums for the first season or two before things settle down.
Danny is the one that has been playing Russian roulette and needs somebody to get him out of jail. Cant see a big name manager accepting the Tottenham way terms because it is trying to do the job with one hand tied behind your back if they are big guns.
I ll stick with Poch even if Im gutted about the current form because we will need to rebuild but it will be in the Tottenham way as per DL's approach so I think therefore Poch is most likely to fare the best
For those who want to change dot expect the earth This is Tottenham

He's been given mountains of cash wherever he's gone and still managed to moan and bitch that it wasn't enough. He's made some utterly atrocious signings too and has binned players that have gone elsewhere and become stars. I don't think Levy will give him the money and I would expect him to chuck out a few players that will leave supporters enraged. When he doesn't get massive backing from Levy he'll turn into the sulky little bitch we're all so familiar with and will start chucking blame at everybody and everything. I think he has the potential to do massive financial damage to us in a couple of seasons. For me, hooking up with Mourinho would be like shagging the local slapper and then spending the rest of your life wondering why your marriage turned a bit shit.
Thanks, just cannot agree more. I think pretty much any top class manager who'll aim for top3/4 finish and decent CL football will ask for ~EUR 250-300 mln gross for improvement. Maybe 20-30% less if we are lucky
2 FBs, 1 CB, 1 DM, 1 AM are obvious
We'll likely need new GK and secondary striker but those are less burning
Our recent summer window has clearly showed the difference between 20-30 mln and 60 mln players

Than I must repeat myself for the 94th.
Levy and Mourinho would in fact I believe work together very well.
They would collaborate excellently.
Would Mourinho still be gone in two years? Yes probably. But as likely is that he wouldn't leave before winning a trophy.
It is a terrible unfounded myth born out of judgmental narrowmindedness to say that they could no collaborate. With their experience, their personalities, no, I think they would get along very well.
Nobody can bullshit Mourinho. Not even Levy. In return, Levy wouldn't be served bullshit either. I would have tremendous faith in the combination of Levy and Mourinho if it were to be.
