One issue with Jose I have is, I have never once seen him take responsibility for a defeat. He hates to lose, which is integral to success but he seems so pi55ed off when his teams lose he usually acts like a 5 yr old in the post match interview and blames anyone and everyone but himself . When you are winning people accept it....when the trophies dry up you just seem out of touch with reality.

If Jose was at Man City, he would still be cleaning up. Could you say the same about Pep, if he inherited the current Spurs squad?

I'd argue zidane has been a more successful manager than Jose, even if one managed longer. Jose won 1 league and two cups in three years. Not that impressive tbh.

No guarantees Jose would even succeed at city. Zidane is an inferior coach to Jose I feel but performed better in the same role. Jose seems to divide a clubs personnel and without a huge budget his skill doesn't out way the damage that causes, in my view.

If you don’t think football has changed in 10 years I don’t see how player attitudes would be any different. I think the game has moved beyond him now though. The high press, high line style is something more frequently seen these days. It’s not just the massive clubs doing it anymore.

I think he’s changed as a tactician though. His original Chelsea side were far more attacking than they got credit for. For some reason he’s become more cautious and negative as time has gone on. What hasn’t changed though is that some players, more frequently these days do not respond to his methods. Good players too. Look at Robben. An absolute world beater who was torn apart by Jose. His methods will work on some but will not work on others, which then causes dressing room unrest. I don’t think this is new territory for Jose, it’s just that there are more Robben’s than Cole’s these days, doesn’t make them mercenaries or bad players as some have suggested. Players are human and sensitive like the rest of us.

I'm sure he has said it a few times over the years but he certainly follows the trend I described far more I think. He definitely seems more than happy to push someone under the bus.

In all honesty, how many times have u heard him say "I don't want to name names but" then proceed to indirectly make it quite clear exactly who his is blaming ๐Ÿ˜…

Well now you've seen it once at least. I've seen it a few times at Spurs. He said something similar after the Zagreb game too.

But yeah I take your point, he's not shy about calling players out. And even if he's right that's often not well received by players.

How does that work? He had an open Cheque book at Old Trafford and flopped.

If he was at The Etihad, City wouldn't have the players they have now - They'd have the likes Mkhitaryan, Fred and Lindelof instead.

How are they pampered?

----

Literally every aspect of their life is taken care of for them. How are they not pampered??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any different from 30 years ago?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes...clearly...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you being serious with ur line of questioning here? You first say they’re not pampered. Bizarre enough. You then say “any different from 30 years ago” when the answer is yes and even if it wasn’t why would footballers 30 years ago even come into your head when discussing footballers today being pampered.

i agree that football players are pampered but that doesn't mean they don't care.
Leeds players would run through a brick wall for bielsa.
thats because they believe in his philosophy. spurs players probably don't 100% believe in the crap jose is spewing. i'd wager bielsa would have spurs in the top four.

Jose is like Mike Dean, he wants to be the star attraction of any football match.

He won two trophies over a very short term. That's not a flop. Pep himself is a chequebook manager. He has spent gazillions at City.

With the current team, you do not know that at all. Like me saying any manager could win a title at City.

All the most successful managers have spent billions, Feegie at United, Dagalish at Blackburn Jose at Chelsea, Pep at City,Wenger at Arsenal, the only one whom never spent millions and fluked the title was Ranari.

I reckon you Could put any of them managers in charge at spurs and not win the league and that's simply because to win big you spend big and we don't.

So we don’t think at any time Jose wasn't told he must work with what he’s got?

Sure Jose alluded to it at the time that he wouldn’t be spending zillions on players, in fact he said part of the reason he came was “the fantastic squad”

Ridiculous to even compare Spurs to financially doped City. There is a vast chasm in spending powers.

Let Pep try winning a title with Barrow with no money. And let Jose try winning a trophy with City with untold money. I know which one I would have my money on.

You have said that on many occasions because you think it's all about money for some reason.

Pep would'nt be at city if it were not for the money.
Look you still need to make the the right decisions when you have the money.
Money is still a huge factor thou no fault of yours I wouldnt mind us having that power.

Well...A number of managers would have made better use of Bale to start with...& not persevered with players that are clearly not good enough
