Think this has been posted before but have a watch of this from summer 2019 to give you an in sight into just how motivated Jose was and is and the type of project he was waiting for (Spurs). Also minute 6:30 he basically says "a project where we look to challenge for the title and take the club to the next level". Also minute 29-31 is massive as I've said many times Jose cares what people think about him and his legacy, its his ego, it was bruised at Man.U where despite what people say he did a great job, now he's going all out to win and with some style.

We have one hell of a class and motivated manager on ours hands guys. Watch this and you'll be even more buzzing.


I watched this at the time and immediately felt that he was going to be fresh and fighting going into his new job. I noted it at the time too.

In fact, it was his appearance on BeinSports for our CL final that started the idea of him being coach in my head. I wasn't even thinking of Poch going, it was more of a 'imagine if'. But as soon as I saw the video you posted, I realised that Jose was gunna come back refreshed and alive again.

I still think he took that United job for two reasons.

1. He wanted to get right back into management to prove Chelsea wrong but he didn't have a rest or any time for reflection. He was essentially going into the job pissed off which meant the first problem he came across he was already amped up.

2. He always wanted to coach United and succeed Fergie. But unfortunately the club has too many voices at the top and the owners don't care about success enough to fully back a coach.

That video shows he was relaxed, he'd had time to reflect and going back to his roots will have allowed him to take a few steps back to remember what made him so successful - I've spent a lot of time in Setubal and it's a beautiful region with Troia and Sesimbra close by if anyone wants to visit Jose's home town, I recommend it!!
 

Who’s our next manager?

True, the shadow of Fergie and Charlton at every game

For what, genuine question? I can't stand the Hammeroids, but you have to take your hat off for the quality of the strike.

Personally don’t think it was a free kick in the first place, but also thought Ogbonna fouled Winks in the build up. But what’s done is done.

Another poor performance where we have no shape or game plan. I stand by my comments from 2/3 months ago, we will win nothing with Jose in charge.

I do worry that our best performances are purely the players, not him

loads of bad performances, and I felt four changes was over egging it at half time

plenty to be critical of recently

Nah this is on the players this time. Those players are good enough to go out there and put a professional performance. They played like shit... they playerd like they won the game before they even started. They were ****ish in their performance. Disgraceful. Each and every one shoud be left in Antwerp

Not on Jose though this one.

I'm still trying to reserve judgment, but I do worry when we play against a team that we can't counter attack against. It's the only attacking move Jose knows. Short passing, clever movement, ball retention etc is so so far from his skill set. In this day and age you need both in order to win things imo. I also think he still makes odd subs and his obsession with Winks is beyond me, let alone Winks and Sissoko in the same first 11.
