I don't want Mourinho anywhere near the place primarily because he's a classless knob. He's a flat track bully who is successful when he has the best team in the league with unlimited resources and enough cash to buy piles of shite with the odd diamond in it. He wont get that here, and when he doesn't, he'll poison the place chucking about the accusations against everyone from individual players to the owners and Board. His treatment of some players and some of his staff has been disgusting and I'm not even going to start on the type of football he'd serve up.

A little surprised by some of the backlash to Eddie Howe. I think he’d be a good ‘project’ manager and can obviously see why he’d appeal to Levy.
He’s implemented a clear style at Bournemouth, he’s a good man manager and coach. Bournemouth tend to go on a bit of a sticky patch every year and he continuously manages to turn it around.
Not saying he’d be the answer if Pochettino goes, or that he’d be my numero uno choice, but I’d much rather him than someone like Farke.

Come off it Shaun.
I appreciate your loyalty and respect your stance but its not just one bad run is it. There is lots more to it than that.
But is this doable?
So let's say Eriksen starts training with the under 23s. Rose and Toby are dropped from the starting line up.
KWP and Foyth lining up at the back.
We face Liverpool.
You think the team are all of a sudden going to turn these performances around? It's a big ask.
Then you're expecting Levy, a man who's struggled getting a number of transfers over the line to sell 3-4 high profile players in one window.
HE CAN'T DO IT.

Conceded 21 goals in 10 games this season.
No away wins since Jan
Relegation form in PL since Feb.
Whatever Poch has been doing isn’t working. We used to compete before but now Newcastle, Colchester, Brighton not only won but created more chances than us .
If not now , when does the stars align to act ?

Levy is in a tough spot right now. Poch seems to have lost his way and I'm pretty sure Levy doesn't want to sack him, otherwise he'd have done it by now. It would cost us a fortune to sack him in any case. Players seem to have lost faith, others don't seem to give a shit, but Poch maintains that he wants to be here and sort it out. We're heading for a disasterous season right now so what can be done?
If I was Levy I'd consider telling Poch that an assisstant is coming in whether he likes it or not. Somebody with an outside view who has a chance of freshening things up and taking some of the pressure off Poch. It would need to be somebody who's not threatening Poch's place but has a feel, and love for the club and a grasp of what needs to change. I'd have Glenn Hoddle about the place in the short term, and if Poch doesn't like that, he can walk and we go for a new manager.
Could be a recipe for disaster, but let's face it, we're well in the shit as things stand.

That's because we don't want another new 'project' manager, spending another 5 years before something happens.

Poch should be given another transfer window unless it gets REALLY bad.
If he ends up going I want a manager who’s won something on his CV. The last manager we had who had won something was Ramos and guess what he won a trophy with us...
The squad we have is capable of a trophy it’s just mentally weak throughout. We need a proven winner to get us over the line.

I’m still not convinced he’ll see us as big enough and come. He’s turned us down twice before after all.
Voted him though. I think our squad is perfect for him.

Not sure about that. We don’t have bad players at all. We should be finishing third with this squad if the players are utilised properly.

Apologies, I read your first paragraph and responded before reading the rest (thinking it was just another hit piece on Mourinho).
It's exactly how I feel, this squad and club is primed to challenge. With a couple more additions and a refocus we should be up there or at least comfortably third and I think a push from a serial winner like Mourinho may be the answer.
Sure, in 3 years time we may be wanting a new coach but if we've won stuff in that time and have a fine squad, I reckon we'd still be a massive draw for the big coaches. If we have this rebuild and it goes wrong, we may be back in Europa and struggling to pull in the bigger names once again.
When Mourinho left Chelsea the previous time, many said the squad was past it's best and that many of them were mercenaries. Conte walked in and had that same squad win the title that year. That's how I'm feeling now, a new coach lift and we can start looking like a fantastic team again.
Anyway, I think we need to hold tight til xmas, let Poch get Sess and Lo Celso in and see if he's willing to drop the underperformers for youth. If he doesn't he's making a rod of his own back.
Start with completely dropping Eriksen.

If you listen to him in punditry he's absolutely desperate to be coaching again and he wants the PL.
He's also said very positive things about us. He thought we'd be challenging for the title this year. No doubt in my mind he thinks he can achieve something with our squad.

Just to note for his last job:
He won trophies and finished 2nd with a pretty crap United squad.
He had issues with the exact same players that Solksjaer is having issues with
He is very often right about the players he has issues with, he's just more blunt about it all. SAF was exactly the same, but had more support from Edwards and Kenyon than anyone has ever had with Woodward (with the exception of OGS, who they seem to be backing more).

Yeah the disrespect he is getting is harsh. He has done a great job at Bournemouth. I don't know whether he is the right man for the job, but he has certainly earn't the right to be on the shortlist. As a fan base we tend to be above our station at times when it comes to professionals in the game.

But the project has come to the end of its cycle and all that's left is a load of broken parts not fit for purpose. Howe would be mad to come in here whilst the deadwood remains. He would be on a hiding to nothing.

I’m amazed at people turning their nose up at Mourinho. It’s amazing misplaced arrogance. We are a club who flatters to deceive and have done since I’ve supported us. We are usually the bridesmaid and never the bride.
If there’s a chance of getting one of the most successful managers of the modern era we should jump at the chance.
I admit I haven’t been a fan of him in the past but getting him puts us on the map immediately. It means we are a big club. People will look at us and go, wow Spurs got Mourinho. It’s a statement. The players will respond. They usually love him unless they’ve got a pretty doctor taking their eyes off the ball.

Short term (shiny gains) or another long term view to build something great ...
I keep (jokingly-ish) saying it's nailed on to be Howe (or another of his ilk) but as is the Spurs standing in world football now, surely if Poch were to go, it'd have to be a manager with standing in the game.
I dislike change, this is hard as a fan watching this unfold, it's unlike the others in the past decade.
... Ohh hokey cokey ...
