Mourinho is confirmed as manager

While playing great football,our team together failed to turn up on occasion,which cost us. The CL for example,but Liverpool weren't much better but had the luck on the day!

 

Audere est facere. Tbh, it's a motto, not a principle. Perhaps it's best to say that appointing Mourinho as manager doesn't jibe with what I think Spurs stand for.

 

The missing ingredient may have been a bit of cash to spend

 

Maybe but I think that in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 we already had the players that could have done it. Leicester managed it with less resources than us. Last season, especially, the rushing back of Kane to the starting 11 vs. Burnley (when it had already backfired the previous season) halted our momentum and the less said about the CL Final the better.

 

Head Coach. Interesting.

The interview itself has obviously been very well directed, with regards to the questions he's been asked and the concerns of the fans.
The youth academy part and promoting young players was particularly obvious.
You get the feeling that he's being genuine about the stadium and facilities, though.
Very, very strange hearing him say, "we", "us", "my club", etc.

 

I'd be very happy if this was true.

Daniel Levy's been trying to lessen his involvement in football matters for some time. It's not what he does best and our recruitment hasn't been great for some. We've bought some decent players but we should have signed Ndombele and Lo Celso before the went to Lyon and Betis.

Selling Trippier, buying and then keeping Aurier, whilst not loaning out KWP to get experience has seriously damaged us at right back. The failure to get in a midfield destroyer to address the physical declines of Dembele, Dier and Wanyama has done the same in the middle.

We need someone buying talent for next season and the one after, not just when firts choices are damaged beyond any utility.

 

WTF !!??

I have literally just turned on the news and seen this.

 

You know, you think you can just go away while internationals are on,
and not have to return to the fray until the next PL game purely to
see what the walking wounded count might be,

I am now going away again to process all this.

 

This is a mad take to read, from a neutral fan.

You came second to one of the most expensively assembled teams in history, after spending a fraction of what they spent.

Poch is one of the best managers around, I feel like some of you spurs fans will only appreciate him properly in hindsight. What he did for you guys and us at saints was astonishing, really.

All I know is, spurs are now one to watch. Gonna be fun to see if Mourihno can recapture his past form. Genuinely hope you can recapture some good form and beat united/arsenal etc. to top 4.

 

Little bit of info on Joao Sacramento, he speaks fluent English (as well as French and Spanish along with his native tongue) after having studied Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Sports from the University of Wales, where he earned the distinction of Best Academic Record (1st Class Degree)

^^**(nabbed from separate tweets)**

The FAW even seemed pretty proud of one of their former students getting the job:

 

I haven't watched it and probably won't watch it for a good few days still. This is gonna take a while yet to process and digest.

 

Souness clearly likes Mourinho a lot, doesn't he?

 

If Jose has been hired to at least finish PL top 4 come May,
he really is going to have to prove that "special one" label.

As to what the type of football the boys will now play, well you
know the extremes of that spectrum.

At the least, we may at least see some epic hairdryer days from
those in the current squad who may have done Pochettino badly
this season.

I hope the Pochettino fitness sessions remain though, as much
of the great football came in the final 15 mins when the opposition
were evidently running on fumes.

 

Keith Burkinshaw took over a train wreck of a club and was relegated but got us back up, stabilised us, got us playing lovely football, won us 2 FA Cups, nearly won the league and won us a UEFA Cup when it was a difficult cup to win.

It denigrates that great manager and team to suggest the CL final is worth more than their achievements.

 

Can anyone remember which game of ours Mourinho attended earlier in the season?

 

Best club league manager since St Nicholson.
I suspect that if Pochettino had won similar silverware to Keithy,
he may still have been manager.

 

Friends. < The one where we played sh*te >

 

Enough to make a series, unfortunately.

So no one told you Spurs were going to be this way
Your team's a joke, it's broke and MoPo's DOA
Gary Mabbutt told you there'd be days like these
But he didn't tell you the team would play like they've all got Ledley's knees
