How would that be legal? Sounds unenforceable to me.

Surely depends if he signs it - heres 15m or 18m if you agree not to go to x ??

Mourinho

It will end in tears. And it won’t take long.

Worst thing is we will now have to listen to that s press conferences again.

Jose does win trophies though and Spurs have gone 11 years without winning one.

Hmmmm, yes, United won something, but was it worth what happened subsequently?

Football is about winning stuff.

Restriction of trade agreements are if reasonable, so “can’t work for X for Y years” would be OK. “Can’t work for a league 1 team in Europe” would not.

My personal opinion is most of you will be shocked with Jose, he's not as bad as most are making out, UTD are and were poor he got them 2nd look at them now with their saviour after 140m spend
He has a much better squad at Spurs than he did there.. He will have got assurances on what he can buy and he will know where they are weak (defence)
I also think he will play a little more attacking than people imagine as that spurs squads strength is based on attack....

He's a far better manager than who is managing his last club that's for sure

Agree with most of this, he is pragmatic and will grind out better results surrendering any style of necessary.
I suspect he will be a lot less collegiate than Poch so may kick some lazy arses into shape.

Or there will be revolt to a sudden change in style. Reality is a lot of the players think they are better than they are and need a wake up call which Jose will give

No one has suggested there is? The world of football is talking about it. It's huge news.

I asked to see where you've seen the Tweets you posted about, that's all. Quite reasonable. But you told me to search which is a classic line thrown out by people who are telling a few fibs.

it was retweeted into my timeline along with loads of things. Suggesting you search is not to hide telling fibs. Just check it out. It's actually a sensible suggestion as it allows you to pick your news. Or be a tit. You chose the latter

The real interesting aspect is what it will mean for spurs and buys. Jose loves to buy and loves to buy players ready to do a job right now. Spurs have a better squad than the one he inherited at United but it's whether a few of them have had their heads turned.

How Jose gets the best out of Kane will be interesting.

Certainly adds a different dimension to the game v United. Loads thought it would be the next United manager playing United.

"The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me," said the 56-year-old Portuguese. "Working with these players is what has attracted me."

Is he not just not saying he won't have money to spend?

[cerb4.5lee]

Poch did start to look like he'd given up in fairness and I think that it is correct that he has gone. I just can't make my mind up if Jose is the right move though.

Jose at his best and he is awesome...but Jose at his worst is just a world of pain for everyone.

Kane doesn't play Mourinho football, his tactics are built around his teams making fewer 'mistakes' that lead to the opposition gaining possession than the other team, so Kane's game of get ball, shoot, won't last long.

You know who youre talking to right? the resident spurs obsessed fantasist...

this role you have given me is from two comments in the spurs thread where I asked how many games would poch have before getting into some trouble with Levy given the poor end to last season and the start of this. It's ok to talk about other clubs. You should try it.... Oh....

Mourinio will make spurs better, short term.

They were going down under Poch so anything's an improvement.

Saying that, Poch would be an upgrade on Emry at Arsenal.

That would be funny.

Maybe when it all goes pear-shaped at the Bridge they can appoint Wenger.

That's an interesting point. Mourinho does seem to prefer a forward that holds up the ball and bring the midfielders into play as opposed to a traditional goal poacher.

I reckon Kane will be sold to fund the rebuild.

Wonder how spurs fans would take that and what it would need to calm the potential anger.

I remember when we sold Torres and got Carroll.....

Kane has the attributes surely to do well under Jose and he has had strikers get decent numbers in previous teams.

Kane is class, but no way is Levy going to give Jose a massive pile of cash to spend. He had the opportunity to do that with Poch (a better manager for Spurs IMO), and wouldn’t.

And they don’t have any other players that they could sell to raise significant funds - they do have a few very decent players, but half of them have little left on their contracts, so are worth peanuts and will need replacing, draining any investment further.

I don’t se another way unless Levy magically changes direction.

I think they are in a very tough position.

Quite simple. To get the best out of Kane Spurs need to get better wing backs. Aurier and Rose just aren't good enough. Dumb and Dumber as Roy Keane calls them.

Is it even feasible for Levy to provide significant funds for players given the debt situation?

yeah but for many it didn't really feel like they did it.

We had hoped to see Suarez and Torres together, though perhaps it wouldn't have worked. There was hope all month Torres would stay.

I was in a restaurant the night it was becoming clear and Gerrard was with his mate and kids at the next table. The only time I saw him more down was when he was necking pints in the pub an hour after Suarez bit ivanovic.

Given Kane is "one of their own" it may require more?
