Next Spurs Manager

Us or Madrid, my money would be on Madrid tbh.

I would probably go the other way.

Madrid is a basket case and it ended acrimoniously there last time. Everybody knows the pressure and demand.

We are close to his family, he loves the premier league, I think we would suit him nicely.

That said, the more likely decider would be which job became available first...

Plus, Jose's agent is Mendes, the master at "putting it out there, even if there is no basis"

I think there has definitely been a growing Jose presence in the media, lots of comment, he'll do this or that, he fancies this or that...

Wouldnt be at all surprised if there was a reason behind it. Seem to recall similar before he went into Utd (though could be mistaken)

There indeed was similar before United. He still had more kudos/rep at that time though. Now, it's much more crystal clear that he is yesterday's man, than it was then and i think Mendes is using as many of his tricks to keep his name in circulation as possible..no chance Levy go for Jose given how things operate under him at Spurs imo.

More chance Jose goes to Madrid, but even then Madrid are top of la liga so i can't see Zidane getting the chop for Jose given that

Ive been looking at his record, it is remarkably good. Even at Utd its not as bad as you would think.

I think he would appeal to just about any club chairman, his cv is impossible to ignore.

Is it mendes DL all but refuses to deal with?

I did wonder, am terrible with names though. Could be?

Was it ever actually confirmed he did refuse to deal with an agent?

Mendes has done a lot of good for Wolves, perhaps Levy might have a change of heart seeing the players he can get hold of?

I do.

Levy has handled a variety of managers before, different personality types etc and always come out on top with Spurs better off.

I think Mourinhos record is undeniable, and Levy would be clear up front with what is/isnt on the table for the manager. If Jose took the job it wouldnt be under false pretences. No reason at all why they wouldnt give it a go, IMHO.

If, of course, there is a job to offer.

Sounds like what a lot of Man Utd fans said when they conveniently forgot about Jose and the way he operates when it looked like he was about to be appointed.
Also remember them saying stuff about "he'll be told from above to use the youth team like how we traditionally do" yada yada.

Jose is simply a chequebook manager and not since is early days in Portgugal has he succeeded when his club didn't have the biggest chequebook in the league. Even then he still failed miserably at United when he would have been given FAR more resources than any Spurs manager has ever had, including far more than Poch.

It's simply denial to think he couldn't succeed at Man Utd have his predictable meltdown but then do better with us. If some might question Pochettino's current conduct, they'll think he has been a monk compared to how Jose will end up conducting himself. And that cost might not even bring much on-field success, given that he is tactically a busted flush.

I'd be shocked if Levy didn't have similar misgivings. If his relationship with Poch has gone a certain way, i doubt he'd be prepared to even think about Jose..

Jose is not simply a chequebook manager at all. His pattern is mostly spending a lot the first window to rebuild the squad, then just 2-3 buys a year after.

He failed so miserably at United he won more in one season than we have in 10 years.
In the next full season Utd outperformed Spurs, does that make Poch a miserable failure?

Tactically a busted flush? I think youll need to expand upon that one.

I think his issues at Utd in particular were far more about player power and a chairman working against him than him being a miserable failure and busted flush.

That said, Im under no illusions as to what an asshole he can be.

I have no doubt we would see less of the academy, though its arguable Poch is hardly doing great with it right now.
And I have no doubt he will be sneering and snarling at times. I have certainly not forgotten sight of him gauging that guys eye, or the run ins on the touch line, or the snarky press conferences either.

No denial whatsoever.

I also cannot deny his record is quite simply incredible. Utd the only real low point on it, and even then he did a credible job there if you look at the brick show the club is (and has been for years)

Looking at that record he has win average ( based on over 900 games as a manager) of 64.8 % and won over 20 trophys. He IS a winner and there is no getting away from that.

However as i have said elsewhere i would like to see Poch stay ( at least to the end of the season) BUT if we are going to change managers we could do a lot worse then Jose.

Whem you look at that 17/18 season in particular finishing 2nd with what is essentially the same squad as they have now is ridiculous.
