Footballing legend Grahame Souness dos not mince his words. Sure, there’s always something exciting about a new manager at any football club, but the feel good factor about appointing Jose Mourinho, at this specific moment in time, is nothing shy of electric.
Souness’ quotes here should be forwarded to every single player on Tottenham’s books right now, just to emphasize the gravity of the situation for them.
No more running to the newspapers for Danny Rose. Instead, players will be asked to look within themselves, and see if they are up to the task ahead.
For me, the former Liverpool man has very neatly encapsulated who it is that Levy has signed.
Jose is a man with a point to prove – and has the proven ability with which to deliver the goods.
The Scot’s reference to anger is an interesting observation. Jose is a man fuelled by passion that has frequently looked as if it might spark into rage.
News of this appointment will ruffle a good few Premier League feathers. Spurs have come of age.
