When we play Spurs you just know Jose will tell Dier, Alli, Vertonghen etc to wind our young lads up and try and get into their heads.

Lampard will be aware of this and his main job before that game will be to prepare them for that.

Not one doubt.

As a Chelsea manager - 'Hazard needs more protection!'

As a Man United manager - 'Kick the shit out of Hazard!'

Strange appointment. Spurs run on a limited budget and have a stadium to pay for. What's Mourinho going to do w/o a monster transfer kitty and some important players running their contracts down soon?! 

And the (massive) change in style... Hmmm, from proactive Poch football to the Mourinho bore fest. But I guess Levy is a bit desperate and hired Mourinho for the 'Mourinho factor' (if there is still anything left in it). Levy knows they desperately need CL football to remain relevant. With such a big debt and frankly not the best of spenders, they simply need to be in the CL every season and I guess they needed a manager to do it the dirty way. 

But if you ask me who would I have thought would be a better fit to replace Poch and keep them on the same positive line in terms of style of play then I guess Brendan Rodgers would be the answer. It surely was the first name on my mind the other day when I saw they sacked Poch.

When someone announces themselves as 'special one' you can bet your bottom dollar the ego will always bigger than the club they manage.....It's all about them.

Agent Jose reporting for duty.

Set the stopwatch, grab the popcorn. Players from Inter, Real, Utd will be on their WhatsApp groups with Sp*rs players telling them how it was -and can't see Levy opening the purse strings

Very odd appointment. It really is a step down from Poch to Jose. Jose will try and be a good boy for the 1st year or so like he always does but watching the chaos that will inevitably ensue when he and Levy collide over transfers should be pure comedy. Mourinho is washed at the top level.  Since 2012, the only meaningful title he's won is the Premier league with us which Hazard carried him to. (I was watching some old matches from that season just a few weeks ago and the football was shocking, much worse than I remembered). Hazard gave everything including his body that 2nd half of that season, create, score, assist, ball carry, start attacks, track back.... It probably cost him physically the following season with some others as well.

Mourinho also won a Europa league with United albeit with a ridiculously easy run, they faced no one throughout the tournament. 

As for expecting loyalty from Jose towards us. Maybe this will take his blind acolytes among us down a peg..... oh they're still out there. Mourinho does NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK about us. He's all about his ego and self preservation. How some still don't understand that is beyond me but some have their idols they've already made to infallible gods i guess.

Mourinho - "The quality in both the squad and the academy excites me. Working with these players is what has attracted me."

Academy?  

[Fernando 6,417]

The squad is quality, I think better then us. Can easily get to another Cl final.

Can easily do the same. With Kane top, you can grab goals then defend and hit them in the counter. A good way to get to another final in a cup game.
