Mourinho is a good manager but I would say underdogs are becoming more and more capable and are displaying some good football nowadays. So its becoming quite hard.
To whom money is given more is expected, Mourinho was not backed during the transfer window, he requested for so many players to build his team but Levy did nothing instead so many players left the club, their best play maker Erickson left the club, Siggusson was sent on loan
Harry Winks had an injury problem, Lamela had injury problems, the whole team was performing very well in early December last year, before underdogs took over the top 4 knocking Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham out, thanks to Tuchel Chelsea were able to compete again. Mourinho deserves another season to turn things around.

You may be right but I really don't know. Even if Tottenham signed the players Mourinho wanted, I'm not sure whether they would have managed to fight for the championship. Because I still don't like Mourinho's style which is generally ending mostly-attacking play after scoring 1 or 2 goals. Tottenham really affected badly by that also. With a more fitted manager, Tottenham could be much better than this. And of course, I think they need to strengthen their midfield.

Levy will ask $150 or $200 million for him, and no club is in a situation to pay that much now.

All the clubs are now in some financial crisis for coronavirus. Although Kane is a very skilled player, at the moment no club seems to be interested in signing him for  $150 million or $200 million.

Maybe you are all right and Manchester Utd could be the best team for Kane. But one thing is certain that Kane should definitely leave Tottenham to be able to win titles. Because as long as Tottenham are like this, their chance of winning something is really low. A world-class player like Kane doesn't deserve this fate.

I agree with you. Players like Kane deserve to win at least a few club titles. He should leave Tottenham and join with a better squad. So that he can win a few titles.

The thing is, if Spurs can't compete for trophies under the tutelage of Mourinho, after all the trophies he has won in his career, then how many coaches can then make them stand a chance to win a trophy, imo, I think Spurs signed Mou to compete for trophies and then again attract good quality players to the team on the basis of his high reputation as a manager, and he's currently not reaching the expected standards the club expects of him.

On another note, I don't think Spurs have too bad a squad, they have the quality of players to finish in the top four, remember how they started the season, in really fine fashion, but consistency was what was lacking and that's why they fell down from the top of the table. Even if Spurs want to spend big next season and allure better players, then they must finish in a top four spot or else it becomes all the more difficult.

Yup, I'm positive that they chose him to get a trophy. The thing is - would they be happy with the league cup and 7th place in the league? I'm sure they wouldn't.

The thing is that money is still king. If you take average salaries/squad worth and average league positions in the last 10 years, you'll see how high the correlation is. Tottenham does not have marketing potential like City, Utd and Liverpool do and they will always have to sell to buy - hell, even Liverpool has to.

Tottenham is still way behind City, Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea, they are closing the gap to Arsenal. But winning a trophy in England? For it not to be a one-way off, they need bigger investment in their team.

Yeah, Manchester Utd and Liverpool could be really good choices for him. But I would love to see him at Manchester City or Real Madrid rather than them. I think he can have his best performance at those two clubs.
I dont know  why but i feel that the real place for kane is manchester united...its like the new rooney of the premier league and the united really need this player...kane still unlucky for the moment and he must change the club next year

Manchester United is the perfect place for kane. Manchester United has some great players. The team will be even stronger if Kane joins first-line players like Cavani, Rashford, Bruno Fernandes. And I think Kane will be able to adapt to Manchester United's playstyle very easily.

H. Kane truly a world class talent but he ain't winning anything at Spurs. He needs to leave spurs and join Manchester United, a big club where he can finally win trophies. Kane is supposed to be a role model and show sportsmanship, but this isn't the manner in which he wasted his carrier.

Maybe you are all right and Manchester Utd could be the best team for Kane. But one thing is certain that Kane should definitely leave Tottenham to be able to win titles.

I'm not saying that Mourinho was a top long-term pick, I felt he was a decent short-term one but no matter who was in charge of Tottenham, I really don't think they'd be contending for trophies.

Just noticed that when the season was starting everyone was so excited about Liverpool that 32.50% vote were for them LOL

Many were excited about the Liverpool previous fantastic season and they expected them to do the same in this one. Personally I voted for City and they disappointed me a lot in the beginning but I am happy to see them not failing my expectations Wink
I was also surprised at the start about Liverpool, but somehow I was more confident about City together with Pep who looked more promising for the results at the end of the season. Indeed, Liverpool the previous season was extraordinary and it is no wonder that the crowd who chose Liverpool this season was in the polls because Klopp looked so good. But yes, it was only the beginning and unfortunately Liverpool were unable to maintain their dominance.

Tottenham does not have a problem with the manager - they simply aren't investing enough.

I'm not saying that Mourinho was a top long-term pick, I felt he was a decent short-term one but no matter who was in charge of Tottenham, I really don't think they'd be contending for trophies. They climbed up the ladder with Poch and his great few years, they have a really good squad but they lack some strength and particularly depth to be able to make that next step.

Not saying Tottenham should keep Mourinho - just thinking that they wouldn't be much better even with Guardiola or Klopp. Nagelsmann? Sure, for long-term sounds better than Mou.

I would rather any nice manager who likes attacking football than Mourinho. But as you said, the problem is not only the management. Tottenham are having big difficulties although they have a very good lineup. Maybe making the team stronger with new players can help that but I really don't understand what the real problem is.

I have different opinion. Top teams are not performing. City is the only exception.

Look at Utd, they are inconsistent. Without Vardy Leicester is too poor (not saying them they fulfill the criteria of top team), Liverpool is having their shittiest time, Chelsea, Tottenham with average performance.

The under performance from the top teams are allowing decent teams to get the points. The leaderboard shows a very clear result. City (1) and Utd (2) has a point gap of 14 points where Utd and Leicester has 1. Rest of them are not very far from each others.

Mourinho can be forgiven last season, it was his first season, now in his sophomore year, nothing has improved for Tottenham, I really don't know what's the problem, because there are times in matches that you see this Tottenham team able to compete with any team, and some other time they play like a championship team.

Tottenham's management chose him to lead the team and he actually did lead the team good for a while but after that it was all horrible. Spurs under him performed quite well till January but after February it was all flop show. However they have settled down in PL but they lost in Europa and are out now. Mourinho's job is now hanging down by the thread but still they are in 6th and they have matches in hand to change the table.

Mourinho is a good manager but I would say underdogs are becoming more and more capable and are displaying some good football nowadays. So its becoming quite hard. Still with the manager of that stature there are lot of expectations and fulfilling them or not is what counts in the end.

This is what I do. I drink and I know things.
He made the decision for himself not anyone. Tottenham were trying to have him and match the financial demands if he had but seems like Eriksen was looking out for more opportunities.
I think Erikson wanted a fresh competition, a club with hunger spirits for trophy which Tottenham don't have, he wanted to win trophies, it was not all about the money he was offered a great contract renewal at Spur but he turned it down... He is having hard times right now adapting to Italia football but at least he is a step closer to winning the Seria A with Inter Milan.
Tottenham club is really unlucky and for sure  the club will get weaker if its favourite players will leave in the next mercato...the club always had many good players but always failed to get a single trophy
Kane could be one of the player that will leave the club

Not only players but even the very strong rumors that Mourinho will soon be replaced by Julian Nagelsmann.  Naturally, Tottenham have not performed well, the team is not so solid and rumors of heated rumors continue to roll in the middle of the league.  Very unlucky big club.  Hopefully, the arrival of a new coach can make this team even better.

As far as I know, Tottenham always gets unlucky, need a new manager, want transfers, blah blah blah. Does anyone from the club administration ever think to hire a manager with a significant time horizon to build a team and the peace of mind that some players will be locked with contracts without the tag that are expendables because they make a good half/ full season? IMHO they lack the consistency to be at the top level and stay there.

It has been really unlucky for Tottenham for years. They are still not even close to winning a Premier League title. And it is obvious that they won't be able to succeed in doing it with Mourinho. Tottenham need a manager who really understands the capabilities of the players and makes them play a much more attacking football.

It was a really bad decision to sell Eriksen I think. Maybe his performance in the last season was not good but the older statistics of him was quite good. He was really helpful for the team. Now he is at Inter but he hasn't even scored a goal or made an assist in the Serie A so far in this season.
Levy (Totteham boss) did not have too much choice as Eriksen will free in the next season if they don't sell him to Inter Milan or any other clubs. After a big successful season in a Champions League, internal problems occured in Tottenham and Eriksen did not feel happy in the club.

He made the decision for himself not anyone. Tottenham were trying to have him and match the financial demands if he had but seems like Eriksen was looking out for more opportunities. He made the decision and he is now unsettled at Inter. I still recall that Spurs were really having hard time with injuries and they were out of key players. It was tough for Mourinho and his men but they pulled through then.

Not your keys, not your coins!
Jesse Lingaard found his second career in West Ham. In only 7 matches for West Ham, he scored 5 goals in this season after the transfer from Manchester United. 5 goals is what he scored in all previous three seasons since 2018. In addition, 5 goals were scored into 4 clubs. It means they do not come from a single excellent match of Lingaard. In his career, he scores only 23 goals in Premier League since 2012.

The International duty for England keeps up the good form of Lingaard. One assist in match against San Marino and an impressive performance in friendly match France - England.
