Curious clip this one, the presenter and pundit begin their dialogue by acknowledging that José is delivering results, but then seamlessly segue into questioning whether the Portuguese is doing enough.
Given that Spurs were bumbling around in 14th place when last under Pochettino, and the squad was suffering from a bout of uncomfortable mental health, the overall situation now is a positive one.
One cannot help but feel that much the football media’s analysis of Mourinho is carried out with a somewhat coloured approach.
This is a season of healing and redirection, if we get anything else out of it, then it will be a bonus.
Read the Mail and the Sun as I did.
Were Villa not looking for 25M at the time and it was Levy that bid 6M hoping to profit from their parlours financial state.New owners came in and told him to do one.
Mourinho is a short term panacea for Levy who will not and will never spend the money that is needed to win honours. Of more interest than this interview on ESPN are several reports in the papers that Levy could have bought Grealish for £6 mill. Owing to their then parlous state of finance, he bid £4 mill and then they were subsequently bought and had no need to be raped and pillaged by our negotiating genius. If anything epitomises his pathetic tactics and short sightedness, these reports do. It makes me weep.
COYFS!!
For 15M/year I think more than redirection is required,plus a reported 2M bonus for CL qualification.Obscene as these figures are,they are the cheap option for Levy not having to properly invest in the squad.
