Mourihno Appointed Spurs Manager

[Thor]

Let the fun begin. Spurs will be looking for a new mananger in 2 years time.

[Bergen]

Sad. I have always enjoyed watching Spurs.

[EastDerehamO]

Just read an email from a Spurs supporting mate from last night - he was dreading the prospect!

[Oforever]

2 years. I'm going for 18 months.

[BiggsyMalone]

He's going to do well there. Good fit for both.

[Lovejoy]

Just think of all the Spurs fans getting bored to tears in their new stadium watching their team.

[spen666]

Its an intriguing choice

A manager who spends money like its going out of fashion and a chairman whose grip on the purse strings makes the Tory austerity seem like frivolous overspending

A team whose players are renowned for their attacking skills and a manager whose style is parking the bus


Time to pull up a chair and get out the popcorn

[Long slender neck]

Levy is going to look very silly if this doesnt work out.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Maureen will want funding.(as Spen has said)

Prediction League.How long before Maureen loses the dressing room?

[spen666]

Levy is going to look very silly if this doesnt work out.

Why?

Most managerial appointments don't work


For whatever underlying reasons, it was only a matter of time before Poch left Spurs. He seemed to have lost the dressing room this season.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Got to look forward to the interviews after the spuds lose.

Maureens Ego v The Players.It's gonna be a rocky ride.

Because he's their most successful manager in years? Seems like something has happened behind the scenes as he hasnt been backed properly for a while.

[Thor]

Mourinho likes to spend money and Spura have taken on the biggest capital expenditure in their history. Whilst the debt has been structured and is serviceable all that money paying off the capital and interest will surely be money not available to the manager. One of the issues poch had was the club not getting rid of several players which would bring in funds which he could use to sign others. I'm not sure this charge of manager resolves that issue.

Successful?

He had what success?

Failed to win a single trophy in 5 years




Not sure why removing a manager who was going to leave this summer in any event makes him look foolish?

There is one thing for sure, the new bloke can't win less than his predecessor

[Long slender neck]

Consistently finished top 4 and got to the CL final. That is success

[spen666]

Consistently finished top 4 and got to the CL final. That is success

The won nothing.

Success is not failing.

They have failed to win the premier League.
They have failed to win the FA Cup
They have failed to win the League Cup
They have failed to win the Champions League

He has not been successful unless you adopt the non competitive approach that everyone taking part is a winner

Argument already raging amongst the TV/ Media pundits that Pochettino “ stayed too long” at Spurs!

Success isnt just measured with trophies.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Looks like Danny boy binned him due to his "success".

[Lovejoy]

Harry Kane playing in front of the back four, now there is a mouth watering thought!

[Stamford O]

Arsenal get rid of willy Emery and appoint Poch.be good for a laugh

[Ornchurch]

Consistently finished top 4 and got to the CL final. That is success

What is success now when the TalkSport generation tell us that the League Cup and FA Cup do not count ?
Wenger was hounded out despite winning 3 FA Cups in 4 years.

Well the Premier League is sewn up by bigger money and the Champions League that is so greatly promoted is little more than an European FA Cup as was proven by Spurs getting to the final in such a flukey manner.

Modern top flight football is poo poo.

[whittle81]

It has been said Poch lost the dressing room, I am not surprised he did in, that vast stadium.

[Howling Mad Murdock]

Wenger was hounded out despite winning 3 FA Cups in 4 years.

Spurs would have loved that.Poch may have still been there now.
