Cicero Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I’d say it’s a calculated risk from Spurs, hence the 2-3 year deal only. I firmly believe Spurs have a current squad Mourinho can work with, one that’s ready made. Spurs need to, no matter what success he brings, not extend his contract past 3 seasons.

Piers Morgan is one of the biggest wankers known to mankind! A talentless piece of shit that bemuses me as to how on earth he's managed to make a living from the media.

The wife watches the ITV show in the morning when he is on there but any chance I get (if she goes for a shower or her big sis calls for a natter} I will switch the tv over, the guy thinks he is the bees-knees of the media circuit, I would love him to go on ' I am a celebrity, get me out of here' and I would get the wife to vote for him every time there is a bush tuckers trial thing and watch him try and eat insects or whatnot. .

Dr. Gonzo Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'm interested to see how this pans out, because this is the kind of situation I've always wanted to see how Mourinho would fare in: one where he's not at one of the financial powerhouse clubs in the league. Because at Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, Chelsea again, and Manchester United you're talking about clubs that are always amongst the biggest spenders in the league. Spurs aren't poor - but they're definitely working with different budgetary constraints than the other English clubs he's managed. It'll be a new sort of challenge for him. It'll be interesting to see how he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teso dos Bichos Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 With lofty ambitions and another Serie A title in the cabinet, Moratti had made the right call in the following summer. Perhaps he recognised from Mourinho’s time at Chelsea that not backing his manager would do him and the club no good, and he chose to support the Portuguese fully in the summer. What was to come was a revolution, and the fruit that followed was wonderful. Ibrahimović always cited his love for Barcelona. In July 2009, he signed for the Catalan club. Inter’s best outlet in front of goal had gone, thinking that he had a greater chance of winning the Champions League. In a good deal, Samuel Eto’o moved the other way, and this was a trade that impressed Mourinho as he added a versatile replacement and got a few extra million in the transfer kitty. “To me, that seems like an incredible deal, a deal worth €100 million, the deal of the summer. Kaká 70 [million euros – his transfer fee to Real Madrid that summer], Cristiano Ronaldo 96. For me, this is worth €100 million because Eto’o is not worth even one euro less than Ibra,” said an uncomplimentary Mourinho to Gazzetta dello Sport. It could be said that the Swede had every right to feel as though he had a greater chance to achieve European success at Barcelona. They had the best manager in the world in Pep Guardiola, the best player in the world in Lionel Messi and they were the European champions themselves, having dazzled the world with their incredible football over the previous 12 months. ( the goddamn IRONY!! Zlatan was too blind to notice how bad he was downgrading) What Ibrahimović couldn’t see was that change was set to take place and there was massive interest from Mourinho and Moratti to adjust their position and make Inter a superpower. In addition to Eto’o, Diego Milito was signed from Genoa to be the more direct replacement in attack and become the side’s primary goalscorer. Thiago Motta also came in from Genoa and was thought to be a good complement to Cambiasso in midfield. In attack, Goran Pandev was brought in from Lazio to add more grit and persistence down the wings, while Wesley Sneijder, whose career was stalling at Real Madrid, was the cream of the crop that summer and his acquisition lit up most eyes. To support their defensive frailties, Lúcio, the experienced Brazilian centre-half, was brought in as Inter wanted to prevent injury issues from haunting them, like the previous campaign. To signal how massive this summer was, it was worth noting the players that left as well. Figo went into retirement, Viera moved back to England to join the gleaming project at Manchester City, Burdisso was loaned out to Roma while Mancini stayed in Milan, swapping blue for red and going to AC Milan on a temporary deal. An overhaul was needed to challenge, and an overhaul was what Moratti gave Mourinho. https://footballchronicle.co/2019/10/21/jose-mourinho-inter-milan-and-a-story-of-success/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Held Barcelona back that season in the Champs league if anything. Villa should have been signed a year earlier. It was actually Barcelona who downgraded by swapping Eto'o for him.

Same with Poch mind you. Players that down tools are scum. Ranieri lost the plot tbh. The vibe from those in the know is that the players largely weren't keen on Puel, but with Ranieri it was a sad realisation that he'd completely lost the plot and was acting totally irrationally. Never totally bought that they tried to get him sacked but something clearly went very wrong, very quickly under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 At least Spurs have a proven winner taking over and I would expect the players to pick themselves up and respond to him in the opening 5 or 6 games at the very least, If they can settle on his tactics early on then expect them to be back pushing for a top 4 slot.. It will be interesting to see how both the club and Mourinho get on with the finances... as has been mentioned already Spurs are not the sort of club that throw money around for the sake of it so will they back him in the transfer market?? I also wonder how many players out of the current squad Mourinho feels happy with and which of those he may decide to offload.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 You have to wonder what the objectives are for the season now with an 11 point gap, totally reliant on somebody slipping up and that's without even factoring in Arsenal & United's outside chance of doing that themselves.

Without Frank R. help, he wouldn't even be close to Don Jose M. ). Chelsea had massive investment. Hardly comparible to before. Winning the champions League with inter was a great achievement. But you wouldn't have to be a world class manager to win the league with inter at the time. Won 1 in 3 titles at real Madrid. Winning the champions League with Porto was incredible. Most top manager's would win the league with Porto. Not saying it isn't good but you don't have to be a world class manager to win the league with Porto. Guardiola hasn't failed at city. Mourinho was one of the best coaches ever in his day. But guardiola is clearly better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
